day, and a fittingi.ration con
taining a molasses supple
ment and; beet pulp. .This fit
ting , ration "makes up the
balance of the ration, but it
does, not exceed 7 pounds
per cow per day.
Grain is weighed right at
the feed cart and cows are
fed accirding to the chart
beside the scales. “I believe
that little scales is the best
investment a dairyman can
make” reports Kettering _
know what is in the feed,
and if the amount is weigh
ed, I can give all my atten
tion to the job of milking
It doesn’t matter what a
cow has in her if you don’t
get it out.”
Milk on the farm is trans
ported to the bulk tank in
the milk house by pipeline,
but once a month, when the
testier comes,’ the milk is run
into the milker buckets for
weighing sampling.
. The DHI.A. record for
November and Decembei
showed A 9 pounds of iat per
cow per month. Kettering
likes this .testing pro'gram
better than the Herd Im
provement Record program,
which he is on also, because
DHIA records are actual
records and not converted to
mature equivalents.
Kettering gives a share
of the credit for his success
to his family. “A dairyman
is not a dairyman by him
self.” he says, “I have a
wife- who sticks by me, and
the children have their
place too.”
All the work in caring
for the 41 milkers in the
herd is done by Kettering
and his 11 year old son,
James. Nine year old* Mary
Ellen has her chores, too, in
feeding the heifers and car
ing for the calves. Kettering
feels that he is fortunate in
not having to hire any out
side _ help. James is, now a
4-H club member in the Hol
stein club, and has a heifer
which he is training for the
shows next year.
Careful attention to detail,
a respect and regard for his
animals but with a depend
ence on records for culling,
and a family type operation
have built the Henry Ketter
ing herd into one of the top
Holstein herds in the coun
ty.

plain view (arrow) tell the story at the Henry Kettering
farm Henry believes that the records displayed promin
ently help him to do a better job of culling- and act as a
spur to do the best job possible at milking time. The rec
ords are kept up to date, and of course ,it stakes time, but
Kettering will tell you that it is-time well spent A former
milk tester.himself, this Lititz R 3 dairyman would continue
to test if the cost were doubled, because he makes good
use if the well kept records. , —L. F. PHOTO
