I MAKES report OK COW TESTING nshlp/i r ' inx Month Ot March H . nry ( > Graber. of Monroe townh lPd Die twenty-eight members of taAdam. County Cow Toting assoLkm for the month of March w«n h| . ~|e v eu tows averaged 4,.0 pounds of bu ,terfat. This is considered an exrellent record, especially when the tr . c number of cows is considered. According to Hoy L. Price, tester. Graber fed a ration made up of corn 'ure alfalfa and soybean hay as ra (ioaconsistiiiK of “4-2-1". corn. oats. gnd rolton-seed meal, it is needless lu say 'bat milk and buiterfat were produced economically. Oilier owners of high producing herds placed as David J. Maxelln. 45.8; Noah Rich, 43.3; A. C. Smith. 35.5; Peter B. Lehman, 34.2 c »rl E. Amstutz, 33.2; Otto D. Bieberick. 329: Jacob J. Schwartz. 32.6; peter 1). Schwartz. 32.2; and Osia Von Gunten. 28.5. in arriving at the above figures. Mr. Price divides the butterfat produced by the herd by the nuinher ot cows in the herd, regardless of whether or not thery "dry" cows. Mr. Graber lias three cows among the ten highest in the Association, they placing second, fourth and ninth. David J Mazelin also had three cows In Die ' upper crust - ’, they placing first third and tenth. Peter B. Dehniau landed sixth and eight places, while A. 7.. Smith ami Noah Rich landed in fifth and second places The production of these cows ranged from 89.2 pounds butterfat for the month down to 54.5 pounds. Plight "hoarders" were sent on tlieir happy way hy members during the month preceding, while two purebred? were purchased. It is said tins members attempt to .keep the boarders from lieing purchased by some luckless fellow-tanner, but that ill spite of that fact there are instances the “chanuels of trade" have placed a profit-eating old boarder into the hands of another fanner. Os course, if the farmer does not keep records, be may think he has a good cow, ap most boarders are deceivers. •“t have noted a decided towfenc - to feed more alfalfa and soybean hay", stated Price, when he submitted his leport. When asked about those dairymen who tre making most profit, he said "The members who have good „ • cows and are feeding them corn silage, alfalfa or soybean hay and a balancer! grain mixture are .unking money.” U.
