DAIRYMEN In KENT
IMPROVING HERDS
tcontlnued from Flrst Parel

by these association records show
that for every dollar expended for
dairy feed there was a net return
of $2.99, with an average feed cost
of 20 cents for each pound of but
terfat and 73 cents feed cost for
each 100 pounds of milk produced by
these 3S9 cows representing seven
teen herds in Kent county.
The report of this county herd i'm
provemeut association for Septem-
ber included the records from 421
cows, 124 of which produced over
800 pounds of milk each, and 5S
cows produced over 40 pounds of
butterfat. For each dollar expended
for feed these dairymen realized
$2.7S net return. and the feed cost
for producing one pound of butter
fat was Is cents. compared with
81 cents feed cost for each 100
pounds of milk produced during Sep
tember.
The decrease i'm the average milk
per COW during the past
month may be attributed to some
extent to the shortage of desirable
fall pastures, and these conditions
are associated with the slight in
crease in the cost of producing milk
and butterfat, as dairymen are be-
now to feed heavier with the
approaching winter season. AL
though some dairy farmers may have
sufficient pasture for their herds dur
ing the late summer and early fall
months, there is an apparent need
iOr more and better pasture crops in
he county as a whole. and dairymen
should give more consideration 10 |
