CRGAN.'ZIhG CC0PERAT1VE CAT TLE BREEDING ASSOCIATIONS IN DENMARK (By J. J. Dame, Denmark) From Hoard's Dairyman: One of the great difl'culties that bars the progress of the improvement of small herds of cattle is the expense attending the purchase of well bred bulls. When this expense has to be Inirne by the owner of a herd of 10 or 12 cows, the cost of the bull makes the entire cnterprize too expensive and to this circumstance may be ascribed the indifferent attitude of the owners of small herd o the benefits gained by using good bulls. Danish farmers found n way out of this difficulty in 1S74, al though the plan did not seem to be sue. cesaful at first. The plan was simply the cooperative purchase of a good bull, or bulls, by u group of owners of small bonis of cattle and the formation of a cooperative cattle breeding associa tion. The lack of success that attcnleO the movement at first was chiefly du ' to the fact that there v re too irai members in the associutio i and the lived too far from each other. The r. suit was that they gradually lost i ite est in the work. The smaller associ -tions started since then had fewe members and living nearer each other, they kept better in touch; these cir cumstances enable them to take an active part in the work of the associa tion, such as the responsibility of man agement and the selection of suitable cows for breeding purposes, two very important factors in bringing about the best results. Organization. The local organizations generally have a membership of from 4 to 60, tlr average bimg about 24. The object the association is to rapidly improve and develope the best milkers within Ihe association by the purchase of one or more bulls of a recognized good milkin strain. As the members of the association generally own more cows than vhe hull or bulls can serve, a local judging committee is appointed by the association, which in conjunction with the expert adviser employed by th? district or county central committee composed of delegates from -11 the lo cal ass-iciatious in the district, visits each. member and selects a number of cows worthy to be bred to the associa tion bull or bulls, due consideration bi giver t. ti.e proportional s:ze v hi bird ami the total number uf cows in tne assoc.

Exhibition at the lo cal shows, the county shows, and the government or state sjiows. which is cj.-npulsori, also serves a useful pur pose. The by-laws of the association are f!cieru!l as follows: 1 The aim of the association shah be t tleve'.ap a sound, well built, goou paying breed of milch cows, by the purchase of bulls of a good miUing strain, by seleetintr the best dams (tlit selection being based on reliable infor mation as to milk yield, milk fat, ap pearance, build and pedigree), 0 i. rational treatment of the offspring, and by the holding of locil shows. 2 The association shall be formeu and ctrried un fur a period of 3 or 6 years, and no member may resign or withdraw before the expiration of that period except as a change of residence renJera further active membership im possible. 3 I'iie members of the association shall elect a managing committee of three members, one of whom shall go o.it of office by term of every three years during the first two years of the association s existence by drawing iota ; thereaf ter in turn.

I Calves less than 3 months old need not ; be exhibited. Each calf shall be oar- marked with the number of its dam according to u system adopted by the association. The selected cows shall be divided into two clashes, A nnd B, the former comprising animals especi ally suiteJ for breeding and the latter comprising animals that may be utiliz ed fur breeding purposes.

This period is altogether too short to ascertain the real breeding value of the bull as shown by the off- spring, The principal reasons for. , the frequent change of bulls are that many farmers fear evil effects frem;laetd-ln breeding, and that the bulla become either vicious or impotent... .That 'they become vicious is often ascribed to the practice of changing the boarding place of the bull from year to year in lorder I locality, ns the offspring from year to year are lacK "ng in uniiormity. it borne associations nave too large ; n membership. It is obvious, that if an .. , association nus too many momDera anu too many cows in proportion to the number of bulls, the benefit of the ' individual member becomes smaller. Associations consisting of 40 or 50 mem - bcrs, possessing from 300 to 400 cows and only one bull, will not be by any means so important as associations consisting of 16 to 21) members, posses sing from 120 to 150 cows and one bull. Danish farmers hold the opinion that the best association is the one that haslm,y f March," 1914, at the hour of 10 not more than 50 cows and one bull. Frequency of abortion. Abortion in a iierd not uuly causes an immediate loss due to diminished production, but may check the improvement ot ' the herd fur several years.' All associotions have strict rules prohibiting cows that have aborted from being served by the association bull, but in spite of this abortion has been spread by the bull from herd to herd. To prevent the spread of the disease not only is great care taken in disinfecting the bull uf- i ter euch service, but in some associa- t;ons frequent veterinary inspection n the herd .,nd esIimination of u cows is. carried out. 4 Members do association bull. not always use the Some members of an issociation have to lead thoir eowa a considerable distance in order to reach 1 the bull nnd this fuct, combined with , 2 high service fee, often causes mem-' bers. who are not fully alive toHne; importance of a well bred bull for the improvement of their stock, to neglect to take their cows to the association bull. Method of Financing an Association. Tne principal items of expense in starting an association are the cost of the bull and the-necessary books and blanks for keeping records. To cover these expenses a loan is obtained, for which each" member is responsible in proportion to the number of cows he has registered in the association. In i this way the individual members do not . have to furnish the necessary funds for' starting the enterprise, und thus it is ; possible for farmers with small means fees of the bull, the government aid (which averages 8 pounds for each bull), and the income from premiums at fairs and shows. In 1512 it was estimated by Danish statistical experts that 10 per cent of all the cowh over 2 years of age were registered in cattle breeding associa tions. The following survey of the number of associations, together with e number of bulls recorded,- between 02-1911 will serve to show how the cooperative purchase of good bulls has extended in that period : Year Associations 780 935 1033 1077 1135 1257 129C 1255 117R Bulls 843 100G 1150 1220 1338 1473 1534 1463 1317 1271 1902 1903 1901 q?2 jO07 1908 1909 J0J Ull 1108 "le ""m l,,e associations is specially marked along the following IBv org,niza,ion and cooperation rpi n.. . p .1 .

In this way they have been enabled to compete with the large farmers at the sho'wa and to increase not only the competi tion for the prizes but also the gener al interest in 'the work of breeding.
