HIGH CHARACTER OF THE WORLDS FAIR DAIRY TESTS 1 Any one familiar with the great tests between the breeds held at Chicago, from May 12th to Oct. 20th, 1893. will bear testi- . mony in their thoroughness, their impar- . tiality and the grand work that was accomplished in the interest of dairy science. These tests gave to the cows and breeds participating therein an opportunity to demonstrate their dairy characteristics. They were not tests of a few days or a week, but so prolonged that they exhibited to public scrutiny the staying qualities of the cows and breeds. This feature cannot be too strongly commended, as the practical daily man is not keeping cows for what they can accomplish in a week, on a forced diet, but rather what they are capable of doing throughout the whole year, under rational feeding, a id what the “net profit" is which they will place to the credit of hfs bank account. The latter element was essential the crucial one of the tests, as all the the decisions were based on the cows and breeds “showing the greatest net profit." The cows and bneds were credited with their products and debited with their feed. The former consisted in Test No. 1, of cheese, the price of which was fixed according to the scoring of same (which was done by experts appointed by Chief Buchanan), of whey, at the rate of 8 cents per hundred pounds, and if the increase in live weight, at 4b, cents per pound: in Test No. 2, of the butter, at the price fixed by scoring of same by same expert ■>. as in the cheese test, of solids other than butter fat, at $2 per hundred lbs., and ot increase in live weight: in test No. 3. in butter alone.A strict account was kept of all the feed, which was charged at a schedule price fixed by Chief Buchanan, with the consent of the representatives of the breeds prior to the tests beginning, and could only be fed in the presence of a representative of the Testing Committee. Columbian Guards were stationed in the barns.day and night, td'see that no feed was given the cows except in the presence of the representatives of the Testing Committee. It will thus be seen that every feature of dairying formed a factor in these tests; quantity of milk in Test No. 1. through the whey and cheese, quantity of milk in Test No. 2, through the solids other than butter fat, and butter in Tests Nos. ,2 and 3. A sample of the milk of each cow and the mixed milk of the herds was taken daily, and analyzed by a competent staff of chemists, under the direct control of Prof. E. H. Farrington, of Illinois; and a determination of the fat in the milk was made by the Babcock oil test each day, and each cow credited w’th her proper proportion of the products. The milk was creamed, and the cream churned in the dairy, under the immediate and personal supervision of Prof. S. M. Baceock or 1. P. Roberts, two mem tiers of the Testing Committee. In scoring the butter and cheese, the expert judges had no means of identifying the packages they were examining. After marking their scores, they transmitted the packages to chief Buchanan, who, after examining same, removed the names of the scorers and submitted the packages to the Testing Committee, who entered the scores, taking the average of the three experts. The Testing Committee consisted of the following professors, representing the Association of the Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Station, Prof. M. A. Scovelf, Kentucky Experiment Station, Chairman: Prof. I. P. Raberts, Cornell University: Prof. S. M. Babcock, Wisconsin Experiment Station; Prof. H. P. Arnisby, State College, Pa.: Superintendent 11. 11. Hffids, representing the American Short Horn Breeders’Association: Prof. W. A. Caldwell, representing the Guernsey Cattle Club, and V. E. Fuller, representing, the American Jersey Cattle Club. Meetings of the Testing Committee were held daily, j The high charrcter of the gentlemen rep ! resenting the Association of Agricultural Collegesand Experiment Stations, their well-known ability and probity, testify to 1 the disinterested character of the work performed in the tests. Their knowledge of • the subject warranted scientific application when such was advisable, coupled with , practical deductians, so that the tests satisfied both the scientific and pradtical views ■ of dairying. All the members of the committee were throughout fair anil impartial, and were actuated by the sole desire to have the rule carried out and justice done to all breeds., These tests were the most prolonged, the most thorough, the most fair and impartial that have ever been held in the world, or are likely ta.be for many years to come. They cost the World’s Columbian Exposition 173,000. They settled more points hi dairying than ha ve ever been settled before. They brought to light the merits, the strong amLvyeak points of the breeds, and in doing so demonstrated that the Jersey cow is the greatest of all .dairy cows. I he G. R. A-’J.
