">• . MY f , ' QUALITY OF DAIRY r. '» STOCK IS ADVANCED • :-AV.'/ l ^Breeders of Cattle Realize Its Importance. TOe progress of the dairy breeds Is Indicate] by the increased amount of testing for production that has taken place during the past year. For instance, a report issued by the Holstein- Friesian Association of America shows that there was a 14 per cent increase ia long-time record testing daring 1931 SS compared with the previous year. ' A total of 3,869 records in the ten months and yearly divisions of the Advanced Registry were reported* which is the largest number in any one jrerir with the exception of 1924; wheh the high mark of 4.184 was reached. This Is considered all the more remarkable in view of the fact that there were serious drought conditions In - many of the. lading dairy states and business conditions were none too ' food. , . j «"The purpose of officially testing cows is to measure their producing capacity and select breeding stock from the best. All Holstein cows and heifers tested iia the ten months division during lSftl averaged to produce 15,865 pounds of milk containing 470.5 pounds fat In the yearly division for the same period, the average yield of all tested cows and heifers was 17,- 023.6 pounds milk and 577.3 pounds fat Since the time official testing was started and up to December 31. 1931, there have been 30,374 yearly tests made averaging 16,767.7 ponnds milk and 569.6 pounds of fat In addition there have been reported 10,334 ten Month's tests a vera-; rig 14.044.9 ponnds milk and 474.6 ponnds fat These average production figures for either milk or fat are claimed to be much higher than for any other breed. How Dairy Profits May 1 Be Kept at High Point At All Times: tJse wel-bred dairy cows. Keep cows comfortable and fobtented. Treat cows gently and avoid exciting them. Follow a regular schedule of dally Work. Weigh the milk of each cow at each •Hiking time. Regulate the amount of feed by the nUk records and the Individuality of • ttW COW. Allow free access to salt daily. Supply an abundance of pnre freA water never colder than that of a deep well. . Use well-balanced rations made from a variety of feeds. Give cows six to eight weeks of red! fretweey lactation periods. Follow the practice of the most sue- OSBsful dairymen. Join a cow-testing association and •tiler organizations that help one to practice up-to-date methods of managing a dairy herd.--American Agriculturist Three-Time Milking "How much, on the average, does •Hiking three times a day Increase production over twice a day milking? Does three times a day milking usually payr Where this is done for a short time •Bly the Increase is likely to be In the aeighborhood of 10 per cent and where It Is carried on for the foil lactation period the Increase Is likely to be •boat 20 per cent The question as to whether or not It Will pay depends on many things. Some feel that it pays where milk is •old st retail or at fluid milk prices but not where it Is sold to be manufactured into batter or cheees. Milking three times a day fhcrease* the length of the working day or at least Makes it difficult for the man caring for the dairy to get away for very long •t a time. Some dairymen who have tiled It believe that it pays.--American Agriculturist * "Yessing" the Cow If anything will make a cow crazy. It is a bite of lush green grass In 4>ving. It will make her forget the choicest alfalfa hay, the finest mixture of grain and balancing feed. Crazy as the cow is for this first grass, it is anything but a complete ration. The dairyman who says "Yes" to the cow's craving for early grass, and quits feeding grain, will get "No" for an answer when he asks the cow for a profit Grass will keep the milk coming for • little while, because It is a tonic. But when the effect of the tonic is gone, it will take no end of good feeding to build up the milk flow again.-- •; 'liar®. Journal. Splendid Holstein Record Lyons Ormsby Ava, a pure bred Hol- •tein cow owned by Femco Farms, Minnesota, is the one hundred and sixty third black and white cow to produce in excess of 1,000 pounds butterfit in a year.

It was his very own roof, and now he was bade on It David was looking oat of the door of the attic on the roof. It was still raining and now he could not make out Latitude and Longitude, nor their lines. But those lines had been there. There could be no mistake about that --but he had been over by the Mediterranean lea. In th« Holy Land, yet here he was sitting up by the corner of the door that led out on the root, and some one wu caliing/hlm. "David! Tou've been'upstairs all this time!

Latitude and Ixmgitude and Geo and all the rest hadn't waited for him to say of Places Quiet, thank you. They had gone off before he had had a thance. They were so understanding. He wouldn't have known how to thank them for such a trip. "David!" 'Yes, Dad," he called, "I'm coming." And as he went down the stairs and then down to the floor below he said to himself, "Just like going down ipto a valley." It seemed almost unnatural to be back home.
