Locating High C_l_¢_z_ss Cows

If there is one factor wherein the charge that farmers are careless in business is Justified, it is in ihe mat- ter of not- knowing the respective producing value of the. various cows that they milk twice e. day for the greater part of the year. It is safe to say if the average business was carried on with the laxity, in locating either the leaks or the profitable features, with which the average dairy herd is managed, the number of financial crashes would be even morenumerous than they are.

In no way can the leaks in the management of the dairy" herd be

‘find a reason for the increase. j Do not stop at the weighing but lhave a sample bottle for each cow and take regular samples throughout the whole milking period.

The first time you have your samples tcstcd I can assure you some surprises; personally the writer knows of cases where two or more from a good looking herd have been put off for beef after the first year of record keeping.

This method is sure in locating the poor producers but to locate thb top notchers of the herd, it is usually necessary to do a little extra feeding.

On the average farm, none of the cows usually get any more to eat than is good for them. This may make no difference in the production of the poorer cotvs of thg herd. and very little difference in the average

more readily stopped than by a thor- ough system‘ of weighing and testing of the milk. Sucb~a system serves a double purpose. It finds out the cows that are producing at a loss or nearly so, and it locates the real good pro- ducers that have a breeding value much beyond that of the value of the. actual millrthey produce.

ones, but it lessens considerably the flow of the better ones. For that reas- on when an attempt is made to find out which ones really are the best it is advisable to feed them real well. Such an experiment will surely show its value. owing to its effect on a well worth cow. It_is not always the heav- iest milker that is the most profitable

By removing from the herd the former and by using the latter as the foundation for future development of the herd, a double improvement can be accomplished. The first mentioned action stops the leaks, and the latter, following the same figure of speech. increase the size of the tab. The for- mer is necessary in the herd. and the latter is doubly necessary es- pecially with the pure bred herd, be- cause only by testing and feeding can the real value of perhaps unrec-

ognized large producers ever be known. For the latter reason, the

farmer who selLs s. pure bred dairy

cow of milking age, without first finding out with a reasonable degree

of accuracy what she is capable of

doing in the“ production oi milk and

butter-fat, ls running a chance of

selling for a low figure an animal

that may be later, in other hands

worth more than all the rest of his

herd put together. Actual instances

are not at all rare. Every few months

some new champion is proclaimed

and in many cases if one were to en-

quire it can be shown that her first

owner sold her either as a heifer or

an untested cow for a nominal sum.

It may be all right for Mr. So and So

to say that he had the honor of

breeding such and such champion

but along with this honor comes the

twinges of remorse that they did not

know a, little better what the animal - was capable of doing before they pss- . scd it along to some one else.

It is not every breed-er that wishes

to enter his herd in the Record of

Performance tests. It is, however, the

privilege of not only every breeder

but ofeveryowner of grade dairy

cattle to know, for his own satisfac-

tion andtprofit. what his cows are

capable‘ of doing.

The mt method therefore ls to

have a set of spring scales at some

convenient place in the stable and

weigh each milking. I can say from

experience you will soon get the hab-

it, and not only thit. you will look

a few pounds_'and in this way it

creates an interest in feeding, a

n

cow. but she is usually so; and unless

we go to the work of weighing the

feed we have no way of disputing her

claim. .

Any man with a. cow or cows in

his herd that seem to respond more

readily than others to extra feed,

should be investigated before sold.

Best of all she should be given a trial

at official work. If it is not conven-

ient to put her on official test, a fair

estimate can be madeas to what she

should be capable of doing by merely

giving her every possible chance to

measure up to her possibilities.

The main point however is to re-

member that almost every untested

herd may have one or more very vai- | unbic animals and also those whose poor work is robbing their owner ev- ery day they are kept. It is for the business like farmers to locate both these types.

To do so may mean money to him ~both ways: but while he fails to ap- ply this test to his herd's earning capacity, he cannot expect to make the succem his hard labor deserves. I can assure him that the extra labor involved will be well repaid in the actual results. l

Building Up Barred - Rocks

since I have had so many enquir- ics lately asking how build up and maintain such a heavy laying strain

|in the month of January , 1918, ten;

chickens, as the Scotchman says, I was not afraidof the" wife running away. Well, leaving alljiokes aside, my aim was to build up this already high laying strain ofpulleis tbybuy- ing males for breeding purposes from a. higher laying strain. This was pretty hard to do at that time, be- cause twenty years ago two hundred egg hens were pretty scarce and- three hundred egg hens. were hardly thought of. The 300 egg hen is more common today than two hundred egg hen was twenty years ago. My records show that I have never bought any females in that time as the course 1 had taken has been a big help to me in selecting my best pullets.

USE ONLY THE BEST MALES

I sent to Ontario once, and have lbought males t. hatching eggs slit different times from the Universitv of Saskatchawanls highest laying strains._Two_years ago I managed 1B buy half a setting of eggs from the Saskatchewan University World Champion Hen (H3403) who has a record or 299 'in her pullet year. and Itgot those eggs.

ABOUT HATCING EGGS

The third enquirer want to kncw where she can purchase some good hatching eggs. Well, I direct her to the advertising Pfl-qe of this paper. Another man wants to know which would be best to buy, pure bred hens or pure bred males and build up his scrub hens» By all means, don't try Lo build up your scrubs as it will talc: ten direct crosses from a pure bred male to a scrub hen before the ciI-sprfng’ can be called our: brcd. There are several ways of starting into pure bind to lay poultry today. About the best and quickest would be to buy 100 or so of hatching eggs from some reliable breeder and say l a single setting or so from another good strain. If you have not g0: an incubator your scrub hens would hatch the eggs all right, but when the Chicks hatch from the single setting you should toe-punch them and you could use the males from this setting to head the Bullets from

However, that month I sold eggs in Saskatoon at ninety cents per down and for January this year my pullets are averaging from seventy to seventy-five percent.

One gentleman wanted to know where I got my foundation stock. About twenty years ago l took ‘a course on poultry keeping at the Al- riculture College at. Guelph, Ontario. and while taking my course I found out what were the best paying breeds of poultry. The following spring I came west with a dozen Barred Pl?- mouth Rock pallets from their beet laying strains. I might mention here that a good farmer down east had
