JEKYL AND MR. HYDE" "LOST SQUADRON" "GIRL CRAZY" •BROKEN LULLABY" "WAYWARD" In a* interesting report made by Eldred L. Johnson, tester, of the work being done in the McHenry County Dairy Herd Improvement association by its members in the matter of improving the herd by culling out the unprofitable dairy cows and keeping 1 only the better animals, it is found jthat the highest producing cow in the county is owrrfed by Ben Justen, near ; Ringwood. She ^produced 13,075 pounds of milk and 603.5 pounds of butter fat. Twenty-six herds finished the year with a total of 599 cows, i 8,453 pounds of milk, 3.66 average test, 309.5 pounds fat, $178.59 total returns; $65-50 feed cost, and $113.09 returns above .feed cost. Although the butter fi(t average is nine pounds lea* than last*year and three pounds less than the year before, it is 17.8 pounds higher than the average of the past five years, One hundred' thirty-five sold for beef and twenty-two Hold for dairy purposes. No dcubt more cows were culled this year than ever fore due mostly to the low bases and the large amount of surplus milk, according to Mr. Johnson. The average feed cost was cut down $15.82 pier cow over last year. . ; The average cost per, cwt. for milk runs from $.52 to $1.18. The average B. F. cost from $.154 to $.245. The returns per dollar expended for feed from $2.08 to $3.44. . Only four of the twenty-ftye cows entered into the 500 pounds B^ F. club reached that goal, according to the report of Mr. Johnson.
