DM COW TESTING PAYS LARGE DIVIDENDS i Records kept by cow-testing assocl- | utlons in North Carolina pay large dividends when the results are studied mid applied to the owner's herd, states J. a. Arey, dairy extension specialist at the North Carolina State college. i Mr. Arey gives the experience of two herds in one of these associations. one herd contained 21 cows, while Hie other had only I), yet tiie dlllereuce In profit over feed cost, was only $5.01 in favor of the larger herd. Tiie owner milked, fed, and tended 12 cows tiie greater part of a year for $5.01. The net receipts were $tk)7.59 for the larger herd as compared with $062.58 for the small herd. The owner of the smaller herd had better cows and fed them in proportion to their production. There is a gradual Improvement in all herds where the testing work is being curried ou, states Mr. Arey. Tiie production cost shows a decerase witlt a corresponding Increase in actual production. Tills, he finds, is due . to the adoption of better feeding methods and tiie elimination of the low producing cows. “There has been an average of 20 cows sold each month from the herds in tiie five cow-testing associations in tiie state," says Mr. Arey, “and this elimination will continue until all unprofitable cows have been sold or slaughtered. "Twenty-five cows in the Wake-Dur-ham association were found to be unprofitable and were either sold or butchered? In the Forsyth-Davie as--1 sociation seven cows were sold for beef, and oilier associations report numbers ranging front three to seventeen as being sold or slaughtered. “A standard dairy ration recommended by lite dairy extension specialists is being used in all herds, and records show that tiie average production and cost is very close in all associations.” Train Calf by Gentle Treatment at All Times Make tiie calf like to be handled. This can best lie accomplished by gentle treatment at all times. Teach the calf to lead by handling it gently. < me good way to do this training is to use a small stick. 'Pfre calf should walk on tiie right side of you and should be trained so mind the stick. Teach the calf to stand quickly in one position. Then it should be trained to stand with Its weight evenly distributed on all four legs, which should be squarely placed. The head should be held up and to the front and the back straight and firm. Because the calf which flinches, pulls, kicks, is easily frightened, or stands In a position that makes its back sway, or its rump appear faulty does not readily catch the eye of tiie judge, the calf should become accustomed to strange people, sights, and sounds. A little training every day is much better than a half day of it once each month./ i Large Amount of Silage Proves Harmful to Bull Many farmers allow the hull to run with tiie herd and consequently pay no 1 particular attention to his feed. Where silage forms a part of tiie ration this is to be discouraged. It lias been proved that a liberal i amount of silage, six pounds or over, promotes sterility in the bull. Front the data gathered In numerous experiments it would seem that even a small allowance will reduce his vsI tality. With farmers learning to have ' milch cows freshen in tiie fall It I would appear that silage can be wholly omitted from the ration for I the bull. I It is true that the hull recovers front tiie effect of silage, but this means early spring calves, a thing that the man with milk cows does not | want. Dairy Notes Excellent feed, good care, or proper • management cannot make a good dairy cow out of a poorly bred “offs | type” heifer. ( * * * Skint milk powder and semi-solid buttermilk are being used extensively ' in tiie bakifig trade. They are open- ' Ing another large field for dairy prod- | UCtß ‘ • * Tiie calves should be fed ou whole milk for at least two weeks before giving them Substitute, as there is no sulistltute for milk for the very young 1 calf. » • • The silo puts all the corn plant I whore you can use it. The orib stores only part of it. The rest goes to waste. ** * . ■ When running tiie separator, avoid Irregular speed or sudden jerks on the handle. Steady, uniform operation 1 brings the best results. A bull pen that gives plenty of opportunity to exercise is the thing. Good air. sunslilne and grass in seasou are essential.
