every cow in the herd. Often we observe cows that "are better bred than fed" - and how ofteni we are reminded that ”The best. bull in the world can't help a poor' dairyman."

Every man who depends upon cattle for a living should examine his management practices time and again. Animal. Just like peo-. pic. respond to environment. Some; environmental effects are of longl time nature such as under-feeding the heifer or the dry cow.

Here are a few hints to check on herd management.

GROW OUT CALVES

Raise only calves from cows that have a future. Adopt a plan that provides economic "y grow- ing heifers into big strong. stret- chy. two-year-olds ready to go to work. Most heifers should calvc and add to your payroll between 25 and 30 month of age.

Rest and Ill. cows for freshenlng Plan a program of to months lac- tatlon, a 6 to 7 weeks dry period, and a "calf-a-cow" every year. if you milk 20 cows you should "shoot for 20 calves" - on the average you'll only get 19 - but averages don't mean everything. Some care- less fellow may only get is to in out of 20 - play your cards, by good managment, for 20. Breed back 60 to 90 after calving.

Feed that dry cow good. Get her a little on the "heavy" side be- fore she freshens. Takes about 6 to 7 weeks to do this right. She'll repay you by more milk. higher test. and hold a high level a lot longer. These thin cows milk good for six weeks -- have no staying power - can't blame them - fen- ces and not enough feed sure make some cows victims of circum-

stance. That "circumstance" is the herd owner. Choose. rougltagcs carefully.

Good roughage. hay silage. and pasture are "the backbone" of any feeding program. Produce. or if you are buying it. insist on. good leafy legume hays with good col- or. Remember the leaves contain about two times as much protein and mineral matter as the stems. Coarse stemmy hay can't provide the needs for high milk produc- tion. CONTROL DISEASE

Many herds fight a losing battle because of disease. breeding trou- ble. and a host of minor ailments. Get the herd healthy. keep it on good feed. feed well, milk proper- ly. and the troubles become few-

er.

Calfhood vaccination should be used. Mastltis will respond first to good management and secondly to antibiotics. The point here is prevention of mastitis. Avoid ud- der injuries. cold floors. rough barn lots. use plenty of bedding, dehom the cows. and practice good milking. The best way to cure any disease is to prevent it. SAVE LABOR

In these days It ", costs mechanization on the dairy farm than to put it to use. It pays to increase the cows hour of labor. It is "must" be cause good labor is scarce.

the ideal temperature. approxl-3 niatcly 2" off the floor is 95 de- grees to l00 degrees F. Then the heat is reduced 5 degree per week until 65-70 degrees is reached. Continuous feeding of a com- mercial chick starter is necessary as baby chicks increase their body weight 25 times during the first eight weeks. The chick starter is a scientifically balanced ration. A constant supply of fresh clean water should also be provided at all times. Good management will make your investment grow. COMING EVENTS
