HALE AND HEARTY AT 73
Mr, Robert Thompson, sr., of the Atli Concession Gtoderich
Township, who on March- nth celebrated the 73rd
anniversary of his birthday.. He is carrying
his years easily.
Where the Cow Testing is
Popular.
It :is difficult for me. to place
oh paper a true. ifleatioi the in-
terest that our local 'Cove Testing
Association has • created among Our
dairymen, At a. meeting of the Ber-
tie Cow Testing .ia.sociation recent-
ly held it was very gratifying to
note the general satisfaction expres-
sed by all the members and a un-
animous desire to carry on the
work.- The retards of the various
herds during the past year have re-
vealed, many surprises and likewise
many •disappointments for it is
gitite common to hear the expression
"My. best COW. is Alio poorest," and
vice versa. . •
The writer ' has knowledge of ' a
• grade. Jersy cow considered by the
owner to be just an ordinary pro-.
•ducer. Although this cow has not a
full lactation. period. yet I am 'safe
in eayting that the ainotint of milk
will exceed 6.000 Pounds With an ale-
erage, test of six. per; centbutter
fat Another herd with two-year-old
grade Ayshire heifers each gave milk
that -f-teSted ...per
cent. fat, yet one gave nearly, 1,700
potinds more milk than the other.
The following., opinions are expressed
by sonic of the niembers.
Mr. W. SexStnith says.; "To me
the true value of the cow :testing
associationta in One cow against 'a-
nother 'in my own herd under similar
conditions, and not my herd against
another herd under .diVerent.
condi-
tions., The. • cow I' considered about
the best in trty herd has turned. out
to be about the poorest. The fact
that your, herd might claim n record
inferior to that of Your neighbor
should not keep any man .froin test-
ing his cows."
Sas. 1. Laur says ; "1 hope to in-
. crease my proffts during this year by
disposing of tWo unprofitable cows:"
. Mr. J. Miller says ; "I am well
satisfied with the results."' •
