Ar- rangements have been made whereby 82 farmers in the vicinity undertake to keep accurate recards of the dairy milk yield of each cow in their herds.

The milk record sheets are collected monthly, and these are compared with the books of the cheese factory to which the farmers send milk, so that a fairly eflicient check on accuracy is Eprovid- ed. Some 1450 cows are concerned in this CowanSvilch census, which shows that the large dairymen of that district are alive to the im- portance of weeding out the unprofit- able producers. Thisi testing assoc- iation is, as yet, merely in :he ex- perimental stage, but if it works out satisfactorily, it will doubtless lead to a considerable extension of the movement.
