Farmers; nak- ers instructors and professors from all over the eastern part of, the pro- vince gathered to discuss the many problems confronting dairyman at the present day, and: all those who attended the~meeting must return to their work better prepared to carry‘ it On successfully. The men chosen as speakers knew what they were talking about. and imparted valuable information to their hearers,« and those present were the class which which were apparently anxious to learn and profit by the advice. The trouble is that those who need the instruction most are the ones who- do not come to the conventions, but it is to be ‘hoped that the good seed sown ma3 be spread by those who were privileged rto attend until the whole section represented is seeded. THE VALUE OF THE DAIRY IN- DUSTRY. In the opening sessions of the con- vention. the president Dan Derby; shire. M.P.. drew attention to the im- portance of the dairy industry, and the advancement which has been made during the past year. He pointed out that the year 1905 had been a banner year both for the ag- greqate production and returns re- ceived by the :farmers.

Ex- perimental Farm, drew attention to the excellent work which had ‘bee‘n- done in improving dairy herds by the testing system. In 1904 the Ottawa. Department of Agriculture tested 72 herds, and in 1905 a. total of 1,350 cows had been tested. The results of this work have been very gratifying to the farmers. WHAT THE TESTING REVEALS Reports of the tests made during the season. have been published from time to time, but an interesting breed test made at Mountain View, P.E. county, which had never before been made public, was presented by Air. Whitely. The test shows the difl'er- ence between the best and poorest cOws in the herds. The test was conducted for a. period of thirty 6336 and during that time the best cow in the Ayrshire herd gave 1,815 The. of milk, containing. 45. 3 lbs. of (at. while the poorest record was 7251118. milk containing 24.1 tbs. fat, or", a, diflerence of 725 Tbs milk and 21.2 lbs. of fat'between the two cows.»In the Hoisteins the best record i. was The licensing question is a matter which at present is receiving a great deal of attention and thought by makers and patrons throughout the country, and it would seem as though it were not given sufl‘icicnt promin- ence at the convention.

The best Shorthorn record was 1,250 lbs. milk and 46.2 lbs. fat. or a. difâ€" ference of 745 lbs. milk and 30.11118 fat.

Mr. Dargavel stated that while the licensing system had many ad- vantages, in the opinion of the com- mittee for the present at least, it was a little to stringent, as it has the appearance of infringing to some ex- tent 0n persona} liberties.

To do this count of both "th as licensingfiactories, a thorough measure of sanitary inspection of cheese factories, creameries and all dairies is absolutely necessary for the best interests of the dairymen of Ontario, and that the association would most respectfully petition the Government of Ontario to provide such legislation as may be required to ensure our cheese factories, crum- eries and dairies being kept in a clean and sanitary condition, with ‘a pure water supply.

OFFICERS FOR ~THE YEAR The election of officers for the year was quickly accomplished and result- ed in the old executive being ap- pointed with a few minor changes. To Improve the Dairy Herds important fe showing up [profitable om '. Whitely sai breed there 9. but there i men the best mu Prof. G. H. Grisdale, of the Otta- wa. Experimental Farm. in a well- presented and well-received address. stated tha‘t the production of the av- erage cow of the onvince of On- tario is about 2,500 pounds‘ of milk a year. and as 10, 000 pounds of milk a year is by no means an uncommon‘ record, the possibilities of improve- ment in our daity herds are very ap- parent. ‘fOur associations." said Prof. Grisdale. “have been devoting too much time to factories and such work.‘ This is all right and neces- sary, but for the best results we must get after the iarm‘ers themselw es. The stream cannot use ‘hlgher than its source.:and-if"\ve would inâ€" crease. the dairy production of the country we must start at the man with the cow. For the work of ims ’provement three distinct lines were pointed out: lst by feeding the cattle properly, 2nd by improved methods of breeding, and third by selection. LOSS BY IMPROPER FEEDING “It is all right to talk about in" creasing production by keeping bet- ter cows ” said the professor” " but a whole lot could be done to accom- plish this end by making the best use of the material now at hand. The returns to the average dairymam would be greatly increased ii. he exercised proper care in feeding the cows now in his possession.” In‘sup port or this a New York experiment was quoted. For one Year a record of a herd'was kept. and during this time the average milk production per cow was 325, while the feed ‘ con- sumed was valued at. $28.50 per cow. The herd was then sold and under the new management the feed- ing was more liberal. Each cow re- ceived food to the value 'of 883 dur- ing the year and produced milk' to thevalueotSSS. cranium of $4. 50 worth of food gave an inerea‘se of $13 worth of milk. ,- "But this will not apply indefinite- ly, for when a certain point is reachâ€" ed an increase inJeed is not follow- ed by a corresponding increase :in production, but,” sgid Prof. Grisddle "on the average farm in Ontqrio the loss is from undwfeeding‘ rather than overfeeding. ’ ' Reference was made to the losses “hich occur on nearly everv‘ form when the dry season comos on. Gen- erallv there is not proper provision made for the dry season: the cows are allowed to fol-l of! in production, and heavv losses result.

We want our cows to perform, and it is time we paid less attention to fancy points and more to production in the breeding. of our dairy stock." tion between these depends the profit or loss. If a careful policy of selecâ€" tion were adopted by the dairymen of the country. in a few gears the average production 0‘! the Ontario dairy cow could’easi-ly be doubled." A NEW TESTING ASSOCIATION ‘ FORMED. That the testing plan is popular is shownby the fact that where it was first introduced, there has now been formed the first cow-testing associao tion 0! Canada. On Saturday, Jan. 6, at Cowansville, Que. the \first asâ€" SOCiation of this nature was formed, with a, membership of 26. The rules are not severe, but require'that each member shall keep a record of the amount of milk produced by each icow under test during the entire milk- jing period, both for quality and quantity. Weights and samples for testing must be taken at least three times a month. The farmer is re- quired to do the weighing, and the Department of Agriculture undertak- es to do the testing tree of marge. Mr. Whitley announced that the Department was prepared to do all testing free of charge where twenty farmers will agree to form themselves into an assofiation such as the one1 just organized. The expense in con- nection with the work is very small, and not much time is required in connection with the testing as far as the farmers are concerned, and this ofl'er of the Department should be taken advantage 0!, as such testing is undoufltedly one of the best means of improving the dairy herds. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 7*0 cows. The importance of knowing the value of a cow before buying or selc ling was shown by an experiment cit- ed by Prof. Dea‘n of the 0- A. Col- lege. In December, 1905. two cows ‘ were bought, and 'm a test lasting 16 days one‘gave 99 lbs- of butter LOSSES IN DRY WEATHER Utility for Pure-Breds AV.â€" nnwu Dealing with the feeding problem Prof. Deanquoted an experiment con- ducted ‘at the O.

A subject brought up at'the con~ vention, several times was whether turnips could be fed to dairy cows without spoiling the flavor of the milk or butter. Mr. Glendinnifig fa- vored not using the turnip at £1, and this opinion was shared by most of the speakers. It was admitted by some that a limited quantity could be fed without iinjury. but in view of the danger of overdoing the mat- ter. it was thought better not 'toâ€" feed them at all. Prof. Grisdale re‘ ported an an experiment which was conducted at Ottawa. Cows werdted 30 lbs. of gray stone or white turn- ips per day and the milk sold in the city.
