But this is done for the benefit of the cow not the calf. The cow's affection for her calf Increases the longer It la left with her. The sooner the calf la taken away the easier It Is for tin dairyman to get her to transfer some of this affection for her calf to him, and the more he succeeds In doing this, the greater success will he have in training the cow to yield her milk to him Instead of the call If he Is unable to transfer any of this affection to himself then he will fail to produce the greatest milk production from the cow. The cow doesn't yield n^k because she likes to. or has to, but because she wants to sustain the life of her call Now, the right kind of a person can succeed in getting himself substituted almost entirely In the affection of the cow for her calf and If he does he Is on the road to develop the cow to her fall capacity as a milk producer. Hence the best dairymen separate the calf from the cow very soon after birth; by being kind to the cow encourage her to bestow some of her affection for her calf on him and feed the calf from a pall all he will eat until properly fattened. You will get just about as good veal, few butchers can tell the difference, and you have not spoiled your cow as a milk-producing machine Find That Dairy Herds Are 20 Per Cent Culls A dairy cow that falls to return $2J50 for every dollar spent on her feed, is seldom worth keeping. That means that she must produce 9,000 pounds of milk each year at present prices, according to analysis of cow testing association figures in a northeastern Ohio county. Assuming that dairy herds In this county are typical of the dairy sections of the state, more than 20 per cent of the dairy cows of Ohio ought to be discarded, says S. M. Salisbury, animal husbandry extension specialist at the Ohio State university. "Of the 182 cows completing a full year's test, the lowest ten made an average production of 8,430 pounds of milk," he reports, "while six cows at the other end of the line averaged 12,740 pounds each for the same period. "In the lowest group of ten are considered all the cows In the survey which produced less than 4,000 pounds of milk a year. This Is the group that in the opinion of most men is not represented In their herds. Jt is not until the scales are regularly used that such cows are credited with their rightful production. "An average of 0,900 pounds for 0M herd will set the lowest limit for an individual at 7,500 pounds. This should be our goal In dairy production work." Babcock Tester Shows Yield of Butterfat No one can tell for sure whether or not a cow is worth keeping unless be knows how much milk she jielda, how much butterfat there Is in her milk and bow much feed she consumes, says an authority on dairying. The man who can guess these things correctly isn't living! But It is easy to find out about a cow. If the milk is weighed at each milking, the record will tell exactly how many pounds of milk each cow gives daring any lactation period. The Babcock tester, If used once each month, will disclose bow the butterfat runs. And If some sort of record of the food eaten la kept, It becomes a simple matter to figure out whether or not a cow Is a 'lady boarder" or contributing to tha farm Income.
