COW TESTING
ASSOCIATIONS.
Branch of the Dairy and Cold Stor•
age Commissioner, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture.
At Ste. I inelie, Que., in June, 142 cows
gave ae average yield of 546 pounds of
milk, 3.8 Lest, 20,8 pounds fit. The
best herd average was 631 pounds milk,
3,8 test, 24.3 pounds fat. The highest
yield of any One cow was 1,030 pounds
of milk testing 3.50. The poorest herd
was one of 13 cows that averaged only
392 pounds of milk and 16 pounds of
fat. If the 13 cows in this herd had
given only enough milk extra to bring
them up to the average yield of all the
142 cows in the association, they would
have given enough milk in the month to
make an extra 182 pounds of cheese
worth 820. That would not be much
improvement to ask just to bring them
up to the average, not the brat herd;
and if the cows are ench that they can-
not be made to yield an average quanU
ty, should they be kept?
At Warsaw, Ont,, in June, 118 cows
gave an average yield of 929 pounds of
milk, 8.2 feet, 29.9 pounds of fat, The
best herd average wee 1,042 pounds of
milk, 82,8 pounds of fat from a herd of
26 cows, This association record is in
rather sheep contrast to the one above,
and indieatea the great differences that
exist between the results obtained in
different sections of the country. Stated
in another form, if the Ste. Emelie cows
were as good milkers se those at War-
saw, they would have given an extra
weight of 64,340 pounds during the
month, 0. F. W.

The marriage market (or fair) which

In several of the more remote Swiss

is known es the feast of the garlands.
The marriageable maidens assemble at

bright colored ribbon in her hands.
