Excerpt from Cow Testing: With Some Notes on the Sampling and Testing of Milk The plans for the improvement of a dairy herd need not be elaborate or expensive, and should take cognizance of the fact that there are good cows and poor cows, judged by their milk production, in all breeds, and that it does not follow because a cow may have a lengthy pedigree that her performance at the milk pail is up to the mark; that there are scrub pure breds as well as common scrubs.' It will require some moral courage-to discard the expensive pure bred scrub after she has been shown up in her true colours, but that is what should be done. There is only one true standard, and the test must be production. This is not an argument against the pure bred animals as such, but rather an attempt to place performance ahead of pedigree. Ancestry is a most important consideration, but unless the record carries with it some account of production, it lacks the only really important feature, and the man looking for superior animals gets no information from it that is of real value to him. He may have personal knowledge of the strain in question, but that is another matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How to Choose a Good Cow To study the homely, commonplace cow is strictly in accordance with the spirit of the times. The growing tendency in education is to give a larger and larger proportion of time to the study of things that pertain to everyday life. Every man, woman and child uses in one or more forms the products of the dairy cow. In Western Wash ington many families and many communities depend upon dairying for their principal income, many others keep a family cow, and many depend upon buying all milk, butter, etc consumed. In any case, all are interested in the most economical production of high class dairy products. Dairy cows vary greatly in the amount of milk and butter fat they will produce and in the economy of production. Many will yield a large profit but many Will not pay for their feed with the best of care and are correctly termed star boarders. The majority of dairy herds contain some star boarders eating up the profits produced by better members of the herd. Many dairymen realize they are not clearing much money but are unable to detect the boarders. There is no more important thing to be taught in a region as de pendent upon dairying for its development and prosperity as Western Washington than the best method for selecting a good cow, and there is no better channel for the dissemination of this knowledge than through the public schools. There are two methods in use for the selection of a dairy cow 1. The use of the Babcock test and the milk scale. 2. Selection of a cow from physical makeup.

Excerpt from Investigations of "Milk Tests" The cost of keeping a cow is an item not at all considered here, as each individual owner is the one best supplied with facts and figures from which to make that calculation for his own locality. The following table gives a record of the cows tested. It shows a striking variation, and how owners of cows could calculate the profit and loss per cow, if, in addition to the per cent. Of fat, they knew the pounds of milk produced by each cow during the year. Although somewhat limited, this is given as a beginning of work to be more extensively followed up, in the hope that such an illustration may suggest to those interested a way of becoming so acquainted with their cows and business that the cause of success or failure can be better understood each year.
