If You’re Hard On Shoe* T ry Good Pasture Helps Out Cost of Producing Milk Lower prices for dairy products now prevailing makes It all the more nec» essary to reduce the cost of produc tion. Feed cost In most cases Is the big gest single factor Influencing cost of milk production, and one problem be fore the dairyman at this season of the year Is how best to keep his cows producing heavily throughout the sum mer months at the lowest cost A pasture which Is both luxuriant in growth and also of value during the late summer and early fall months Is the logical solution of this problem. Good pasture during the spring, summer and’ fall months prevents the necessity of feeding hay In the lot. and the hauling of that hay. It eliminates the problem of hauling manure at a time of the year when most dairymen are busiest and It provides, with th« addition of a small grain ration, a suc culent balanced food resulting in heavy production nt a very low cost. Pasture mixture*, such as are sug gested by the Colorado state dairy commissioner, based on his 14 years of experimental work will, when perma nently established, cut down the cost of summer feeding and labor expense, and keep the cows producing well dur ing the hot months. A letter asking for this Information may save many a dollar otherwise spent for feed.— H. R. Lascelfes. Field man, State Dairy Commissioner. New Herd Testing Plan Succeeds in New Jersey Many New Jersey dairy farmer* who have heretofore had only their pore bred» teated for productivity are now Including all of the milking herd. Thla la the result of a plan developed by the college o f agriculture during th* past year whereby grade as well a* pure-hred *tock may be given the regu lar advanced registry test. A large number of dairymen have reached the belief that the use of pure bred sires for herd Improvement I* valueless units* the productivity o f the offspring Is measured by proper test» In this way low producers can be de tected and eliminated from the herd. The advanced registry test Is the de velopment of 25 years under actual farm conditions nnd has been accepted by the Dairy Science association and all breed associations as reliahle and accurate. By including all cows In the tests In stead of only the pure hreds, dairymen have reduced the year’s test cost per animal, figures show st the office of the superintendent of advanced regie try. New Jersey State College of Agri culture. Proper Feed for Herd Bull Proper feeding of the hgrd bull I* fust as important as the proper feed ing of the milk cows. Too often the spoiled or musty hay la pm to one side to he fed to the hull. Again, we find dairymen giving th# waste feed, left by other animals to the herd sire All of which Is s poor practice.
