sot this method. the best ar- rangement is to weigh the milk trom each individual cow for three days about the middle oi the rnonih. A composite or av- erage sample of milk is also taken during the same time, which is tested for per cent (at. The average milk and fat pro- duciion for the three days is tak- en as an average for the lnonth. This should be carried '97 out regularly each month during the year.

The total production of each now as shown by such tests is close enough to the actual for an practical purposes. one disad- vantage of this plan is that the milkers often forget to take sam- ples at the proper time. It is found to be much easier to get the records when each milking is weighed. Better still, is to weigh the milkings from each cow daily.

KEEP RECORDS

There are several other reas- ons why a dairy farmer should keep records. and they could be listed as: (it An aid to correct feeding I2t To detect sickness. in Adds interest in the work. Once the reports have been de- termined it would seem only log- ical that the best animals re- main in the herd. and the poor- er ones culled.

very good cows tram inferior ones by observing the extent to which they approach the recog- nized dairy type. However. dairy mic alone cannot be depended upon as a means of selecting the best dairy animals from a - number of good ones.

As I rule it is possible to sel- ect cows that are capable of pro- ducing from 300 to 350 pounds of fat a year from those that pro- duce half that amount; but it is practically impossible to select a cow capable of producing 400 In 500 pound. of fat from one producing son pounds a fat. Of- ten those persons most familiar with the subject. however. will make decided errors in select- ing animals by this means.

Limits of selection by Type - One of the special difficulties in selecting animals by type is that the conditions under which the selection is made are often very,

to were selling at 835.00 per hun- dred pounds. dressed The rise in price has been more mark- ed in Western Canada. and for three weeks in June Grade 'A' hogs at Winnipeg averaged slightly higher than comparable hogs at Toronto. Normally hogs at Tomnto bring from one to three dollars more per hundred - weight than those sold at Win- nipeg.

The higher hog prices which have prevailed this year are ex- pected to result in an increase in hog production next winter. While data from the June 1957 survey are not available at this time of writing. there are other indications available of renewed interest in hogs. In this connec- tion it may be noted that the d ” In the slaughter of sows to date this year has been much more pronounced than the gen- eral decline in marketlngs. In the first six months there were 88 thousand sows slaughtered in graded establishments. 28.7 per cent lower than the slaughter in the first half of 1956.

CBEAMERY BUTTER

The amount of creamery but- ter ln storage at June I. 1957, is indicative of the firmer mar- ket that appears to be develop- ing for this product. At that date. stocks amounted to 45 million pounds, 26 million pounds less than a year ago and the lowest ' tor that date since 1953.

Production In May was 1.: mil- lion pounds greater than a year ago. reflecting to some extent the substantial rise in total milk production in that month. How- ever. domestic dlsappea -nu continued to be above year-oar- lier levels and accounted for 700.- 000 pounds or about half of the increase.

Currently. less butter is being packed for tendering to the Agri- cultural Prices Support Board. in- dlcatlng that the trade is expect- ing to carry a larger proportion of their requirements and. un- like the practice in prevlou. re-

jority of which were in poor con. dition. Selection by type. how- ever. has its value. even in deal- ing with grade cow; kept for commercial moduction alone. since it is generally the only prac- tlcable basis for buying such ani- mals. Records of production are available for only a certain num- her of cows, and those which have demonstrated their worth are generally not for sale. CULLING This year. we in Prince Ed- svard island. are experiencing what might be termed a poor hay crop. and It seems evident that many farmers will be doing some rigid culling as far as the dairy animals are concered. In view of this fact. it would be advlsablc to have the milking herd tested as far as butterfat production I. concerned. and al- ao have some Idea as to how much milk each cow is pro- ducing before any milk cows are sold from the milking line. be- cause the cow with the poorest appearance is often the best mo- ney-maker. some dairy men feel that testing once a year is e- nough. This is certainly not the case. and it is far better to have the herd tested once a month. Teatiag at Monthly Intervals - The plan in general use consists in weighing the milk for a per- iod of from one to three days, once a month. and testing a sam- ple representing the same inter- val for butterfat. in carrying
