A good example of what cow-testing
associations are doing to help dairy
men cull unprofitable milk producers
is shown In the experience of an Iowa
dairyman who reports that through
the cow-testing association he learned
that one cow was paying him $2.40
for each dollar’s worth of feed, while
another returned only 58 cents. This
dairyman lost no time in selling the
poor cow and five others which showed
by test that they were not paying for
the feed they consumed. This year he
will be able to produce milk at less

writes, “I have cut down on the feed
cost by eliminating the boarders, and
can still further reduce it by using
more clover and alfalfa than was
available last year.”

Extensive experiments conducted
at the government farm, Beltsville,
Md., show that milk drawn into a
sterile pail from dirty cows contained
an average of 32,677 bacteria per cubic
centimeter, while milk drawn from
clean cows whose udders and teats
were washed immediately previous to
milking had a content of only 4,947
germs per cubic centimeter. These
tests were made Immediately after
milking. Naturally on standing the
milk with the greatest number of bac
teria would deteriorate most rapidly,
due to the multiplication of the germs.
Accordingly its value as a human food
product would be greatly reduced,
while its introduction on the city mar
ket would be carefully scrutinized,
and In some cases punished by the
health authorities.
Pride should cause every dairyman
to maintain his cows in an attractive,
cleanly and sanitary condition every
day in the year. In a way the appear
ance of the cow is an accurate meas
ure of the owner. In the same degree
that neglected fences, overrun fence
rows, tumbledown buildings and un
housed machinery typify the shiftless,
ne’er-do-well farmer, dairy cows which
are dirty indicate the milk farmer
who does n't safeguard consumers
against contaminated milk.
