DIRECTORS;—Frank Combined Deposits, $813,042.49 ARE YOUR COWS WORTH THEIR FEED? TESTS IN MANY INSTANCES SHOW THAT SOME ARE LOSING MONEY FOR OWNERS GROUP OF DAIRYMEN COMBINING TO OBTAIN EXPERT TESTING SERVICES Are all your cows earning their keep? This is the question the University of California is asking the dairyman. The way to find the answer is to weigh a cow's milk and test it with the Babcock tester, thus finding out how much butter fat it contains. Not a herd has been tested in California but that the owner discovered that some of his cows were not worth their twice the population, has nearly 700. And California has only three—at Modesto, Tulare and Ferndale. If the dairymen would organize for this work, all up and down the state, the movement would in a few years add millions to their annual profits. What happened in the Ferndale district points the moral. In eight herds there, containing some 600 cows, for which the association milk tester has kept records since 1909, the average yield of butter fat per cow increased in three years from 251 pounds per annum to 291.5—a gain of 40 pounds, or an average gain of $12 per annum per cow. One member raised his average per cow from 256 pounds per annum to 325 pounds. When the testing began he found that "Scary" was producing at the rate of only 148 pounds a year, "Jennie" at 150, and "Lonsy" at 152, whereas a cow that does not produce 200 pounds a year of butter fat usually eats more than the value of her milk. So "Scary" and "Lonsy" went into the sausage machine, and at the end of the third year the poorest yielder in the herd gave 211 pounds of butter fat, while "Fritz" was giving 471, "Pansy" 467, and "Dina" 456. And these cows that gave over 450 pounds of butter fat twice the population, has nearly 700. And California has only three—at Modesto, Tulare and Ferndale.

The way to find the answer is to weigh a cow's milk and test it with the Babcock tester, thus finding out how much butter fat it contains. Not a herd has been tested in California but that the owner discovered that some of his cows were not worth their feed. Yet probably not one in 50 of the dairymen in California tests his milk regularly or knows how many cows he has that are consumers instead of producers of wealth. The way out is the forming of cow-testing associations. Groups of dairymen, owning together from 700 to 1300 cows, can organize and employ a man to test monthly the milk of each of their cows. His records and reports help the dairymen to get rid of inefficient cows and to breed up improved herds, and the gain in profit is likely to be five times as great as the cost of the testing. How to start and how to operate such a testing association is set forth by Professor Leroy Anderson of the University of California in a bulletin on "Three Years' Work of the Ferndale (Humboldt county) Cow Testing Association," obtainable by anyone by writing to the College of Agriculture at Berkeley. Denmark, with about the same population as California but only a tenth the area, has more than 500 such milk testing association, the first of which was started in 1895. Sweden, only a little larger than California but with When the testing began he found that "Scary" was producing at the rate of only 148 pounds a year, "Jennie" at 150, and "Lonsy" at 152, whereas a cow that does not produce 200 pounds a year of butter fat usually eats more than the value of her milk.

And these cows that gave over 450 pounds of butter fat a year cost practically no more to feed and care for than "Scary" and "Lonsy," which gave only a third as much, and had been a heavy drag on their owner instead of a help. There ought to be hundreds of such associations in California, instead of three. Any neighborhood that has 20 or 30 dairymen owning between them a thousand cows, more or less, within five miles, say, of a common center, can well afford to start a milk testing association—nay, more, cannot afford not to. Any community that wants to do this can have the university's advice and aid for upon request from a local committee anywhere in California the university will gladly send one of its agricultural faculty to help such a local association to start on the right lines.

It begins with a yearly farm production worth $4,4ooo,ooo and ends with $9,532,ooo,ooo." "Then farmers were loaded with or nearly as large as either France or Germany is the area of this country's corn field. This year's corn crop is the largest ever produced in this country and reaches the staggering amount of 3,169,ooo,ooo bushels. In value, too,the corn crop of this year is the highest on record,and reaches the fabulous amount of $1,759,ooo,ooo. This crop is worth to the farmer 2o per cent more than the average corn crop of the previous five years. 'Our fields can and will increase steadily their output in coming years as ways and means of growing heavier crops become better understood. 'The nation forgot its farmers in the general scheme of education of past years; few philanthropists thought of them when giving for education. Congress is good to them. They are waking up and thinking for themselves.'"

In his report for the year Secretary Wilson said: "The record of sixteen years has been written. It begins with a yearly farm production worth $4,000,000,000 and ends with $9,532,000,000. "Then farmers were loaded with debts that were a painful burden; prosperity followed and grew with unexampled speed. Then the farmer was a joke of the caricaturists; now he is like the stone that was rejected by the builder and has become the headstone of the corner. Beginnings have been made in production per acre increasing faster than the natural increase of population. There has been an uplift of agriculture and of country life. "The prices at the farm are generally profitable and will continue the prosperity that farmers enjoyed in recent years. The total crop value is so far above that of 1911 and of any preceding year that the total production of farm wealth is the highest yet reached by half a billion dollars. Based on the census items of wealth production on farms, the grand total for 1912 is estimated to be $9,532,000,-000. "The wealth production on farms during the last sixteen years reached the grand total of more than $105,000,-000,000. This stream of wealth has poured out of the farmers' horn of plenty, and in sixteen years has equaled about three-quarters of the present national wealth.
