Despite low millr prices, New York State dairymen can still collect prewar prices for high-testing nillk, for the rate Is still four cents a "point." Under these circumstances, dairymen are giving more attention to their herd tost and to removing low-testing cows. For example, a dairyman who/has nn average milk; test for his herd of 3 per cent butterfat has .20 cents a hundred deducted when he sells on a market that re<jriires milk to test 3-10 per .cent of fat, With milk at ;'$.l A hundred, he Is. paid but 80. cents a hundred. if milk were selling for $3; he • would get ?2,$0 ; a loss, but not in proportion to the 1932'.loss..' " Many New York state 'dairymen are using the dairy -record club, or the, mail order testing association, to discover the low testing cov.Ss in their/ hprds. tftie charge for testing is'made by the cow rather than by the herd and dairymen take ;the samples at home and keep part of the records. The samples are mailed to a central, testing lalwratory for testing and for the remainder of the record keeping: The service Is available to dairymen any place ip New York state. Information is available from the local farm bureau office or from the department of animal husbandry at the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. lady t Day, WARREN WILLIAM MAY HOB SON GUV KJB&EESERJAi - Z A T I O N : - v W I T H CO I I ' MB I A P I C T U R E S X-Ray, Laboratory and Physio Therapy • OFFICE HOURS .•©SHy--9--10; 1--3; 7--S Phone 62-R CONN EL M.

Good Cows Prove Their Value in Dairy Economy Tlrere is a limit to economy in feeding, in care and in overhead on a dairy farm. Some of our dairymen have approached dangerously near that limit--to. a point where further cost cutting will result in reduction of returns. But still there is any amount of room for improvement in efficiency In the choice and development of individual cows. Recent .official records announced by the Holstein Fresian Association Of America credit a heifer owned by E. E. Freeman of Modesto with 811.9 pounds of butterfat; an Adohr heifer with 009 pounds; a I'ottenger bossy at Monrovia with 534.1 pounds, and a Los Angeles county., farm-cow at Hondo with 474.1 "pounds of fat. These young matrons have produced an average of over 000 pounds of butterfat .in;ooe'lactation period. According to average production of cows, these four have yielded about as much as fourteen ordinary animals. If "good cows will produce more than three times as much as ordinary cows the way to efficiency seems clear enough. True, such animals cost more 1 than the common run, but they do not cost three times as mudh, bjr any means.--I'rairie Farmer.
