EFFICIENCY MOST
VITAL NEED OF
DAIRY INDUSTRY
SOMETHING FOR THE OLD BOY TO THINK ABOUT
Mllclency moro production -per
cow mid moro ouonomy In production
to match, the high land valuoa and
coat of labor and equipment and coat
of food Ih the moitt vital nood of tho
dnlry Industry today.
The averngo production of tho av
orago cow expressed In terms of mlllc
and butter fat cannot bo culled good.
In fact It Is poor and what man
JtJioa to" conduct a poor business?
Dalrynion may bo divided Into
tbreo classes thoso who fall and
tmmtunlly i;o out of tho business,
thoso who oko.outn bnro oxlBtonco,
and thoso who succeed.
Invariably tho hucccbh or tho pro
gressive dairyman -Is dopondont on
tho quality of his cows. Ito cltmbii
to freedom from lluuuclat worry over
tho liMCha of hlKh produnltiR cows.
Ilo knows that high milk producing
ability Is an Inherited character and
that he must carofully select his
breeding stock to tho end that all
anlmalN born in his herd possess that
ability.
Tho greatest aid In creating offlc,
lency In tho dairy herd la tho dairy
niro with a strong milk producing In
heritance. Such a slro adds to tho
111 .,lulni At.MUu Ml n (iiIumI
herd.
A' poor slro gets his own kind and
decreased production. An Incroaso
In milk production decreases cohIh
whllo a decrease In production In
creases costs.
Since the milk producing ability j
. of tho future herd is dopondont upon i
tho slro. groat caro should bo used In ,
hlf selection. Ilo may bo selected b
'ililtTof two mutliods: j
; 1. Holtct a slro that has already,
domotintrntod ,hls value through tho'
nilllttni: nttallty uf his heifers. Such
a Hire will transmit the same good I
qualities as long as he lives. Proven
Hires unfortunately are not plentiful
fctr tho majority are slaughtered
while Htlll young.
2. Select by pedigree or nnceitry.
A bull inherits tho milking qualltlei
of the cows that contributed to his
Inheritance nud passes thesu mwno
qualities on to his heifers. IIli
heifers resemble his ancestors, which
makes a careful examination of theso
ancestors' and their milk record n;c
emdtry to the Improvement of tho
future herd.
Gallon's law In breeding shows
that an animal receives SO per cent
of its characteristics from Its Im
mediate parents, 2fi per cent from lt:i
gramlcarants and tho remaining 2fi
pt-r cent from tho earlier generation.
Tlils makes It neeowiry that n bull
he selected from closely related an
imals of proven high milk producing
and transmitting qualities,
Select from an ancestry that Is
uniformly good producers rather
than from one that has one soiria
. tlotiul niilmal with the others or or
dinary quality.
A good sire will often increase
butter rat production In his holfoni
100 pounds or fat above that of their
dams. In a herd of 20 cows giving
10 heifer calves the bull or fat yield
would thus bo Increased 1000 poundo
above that of their class when these
heirers como Into milk. This c fiO
. cents per pound gives $500 addition
al Incoino tho first year.
This would bo duplicated tho next
'and succeeding yours and thcro
would also be other heifers coming
Into milk making possible the replac
ing of the entire original herd with
better cows. Many Oregon bulls nro
now demonstrating tholr value In the
herds of their owners, but there Is
room for many, many moro In the
herds of the 20,000 dairymen of our
Muto. The average yearly produc
tion or tho Oregon cow Is probably
not Tar from 200 pounds of fat, lly
following a good breeding practice
this a vertigo yield could bo doubled
within a few years.
The cost of a good Hire should
dolor no dairyman from securing tho
