The Above Drawing Bhowt the Variation That Is Frequently Found in the Same Herd. Some Cowa Are
More Profitable Than Others. The Scales and the Teat Will Tell Yon Which.

Th practical fanner soon dischargee
th lasy hired man. . He would be ex
ceedingly unwilling to long: continue
paying hi board bllla; . but how about
hi alothfut cow does be not often
gracefully continue shsrlng hla profit
with barf That he doe must In a
number of . cases ,. be admitted. Th
farmer aurely Is vitally interested in
th productive capacity of hi different
cow, yet many farmer could not guess
within 1,000 pound th annual amount
of milk produced by a certain cow In
-'hlr herd, to say nothing of th butter-
fat nrodaced BT them,
That ther 1 a surprisingly marked
' difference In the yield ' of butter-fat
from different cow In th am herd

Various records from other sxperi
tnsnt stations farther pror that there
1 a wide and marked variation In ths
productiveness of th different cow In
- th earn hard. It has been proved that
this variation 1 not a matter of breed.
but rathsr due' to th tnllvtduallty of
th eow.
' Th question of how bsst to improv
th daily herd ha been a ubjot wide
ly discussed. . It la, however, gsnsrally
conceded by most authorities that the
cow's Individual record and test play
an Important part la th Immediate and
ultimata Improvement of th dairy herd.
Th teatlna of each sow 1 th bail
upon which th building up of th
most profitable hard must rest. Wheth
er this : tasting be don by eaob. In
dividual farmer or by eow-teatlng asso
ciations a matter of minor import
ance. -'.
Oows Actually la Debt
In regard - to the Important of thla
work an Indiana farmer writes a fol
low: "Th benefit that a dairyman
derive from testing hi herd 1 much
greater than on would at first s tip
pose, and It I th only 'way to bring
up th butter record that will bring a
good - investment. We found by - th
us of th tester la oar herd that soms
of our cow wer getting In debt to a
and would , sat up th profit of th
cow that . nadehlgher test. Ther
r thousand of such Instance la th
dairy-work -of our country."
Storra experiment station haa- pub
lished some Interacting records along
this Una. Thsa record show . th
amount of butter-fat produced by eech
cow. and th exact amount of food oon
sumed by each animal during 4h teet
From thsss results . It will be . noted
that soms cow wsr kept at a loss of
f 15.41 annually, whll othsrs during th
him period yielded a profit of over
140. Th Illinois station haa kept aim
liar records .which show th average
profit on th one-fourth teatlng high
eat to be $11.11. whll th a vera ire
profit en th one-fourth teatlng lowest
wa only $0.77. , y-
Oood tow Always Oh sap.
Dairymen must bear In mind that It
coat a much to keep a poor eow a a
good cow. Roughly estimated the first
119 pounds of butter-fat that a eow
yield will go to It maintenance, there
fore If a eow yield ISO pounda of butter-fat
annually at average price shs
would return a profit of something like
$5.60. and If th cow yield 100 pound
of butter-fat. which ought to be the
standard set by dairyman, ah will In
Oregon' return a profit of about $46.
The figure ought at least to impress
th fact that a good cow 1 cheap at
almost any price. " :
No farmer can expect to quickly se
cure herd of all good eow; it 1 a
matter requiring much study, patience
and time.. By th Judicious use of th
milk weights and teat much, however.
may be aooompllshsd in eliminating th
cow tnat not only yield no profit but
probably rob him of part of th profit
of hi beat cows. Before disposing of
a cow xns owner anouid, however, be
reasonably sure - that the- lack -of -re
turns l not due to bad Judgment In
nanaiing or reeding. - --
