ns PROVED SIRE IS BIG DAIRY ASSET ‘Quality of His Get Cannot Be Told by Their Looks. (By JAS. W.. LINN, Extension Dairy- man, K. S. A. C.) ~The sire is half the herd! .- Besides feeding, there is nothing that determines the production of the ‘herd or cow to as great an extent as ‘breeding. In breeding it is important 'to have good cows, but regardless of ;how good or well bred one can only © count on an average of one. cdlf each | year which will be the limit of the 'in- dividual cow’s influence on the future * ‘herd. Such is not true of the sire. His in- fluence in bettering or lowering the standards of the future herd is limited only by the number of cows to which he is mated. The dairy bull has two disadvan- tages as compared with the beef herd sire in that the quality of his get can- not be told by their looks. and it is more difficult to keep an aged dairy bull. : It dairymen will realize that the older bulls may be kapt in perfect safety by spending $100 or less on equipment, that the bull that has proved his worth is a sure way to build a better herd and that these bulls may often be bought at beef prices, or at least at reasonable ‘prices, more, of them will be used and ‘better and more profitable herds will be the result. It. is necessary to list the daughters of these aged bulls to prove their worth. The Dairy Herd Improvement association is doing this in the Lest and most practical way, and hundreds of bulls wik be proved in the next few years through this method. : Perhaps the one thing that is doing ‘more to encourage the use of proved bulls than anything else is the use of ' the bull association where bulls are .owned co-operatively and moved from ‘one farm to the next. This is espe- cially true where the members are members of the Dairy Herd Improve- ment association. Absolutely Germ-Free Milk Is Impossibility Clean milk should contain neither foreign matter nor bacteria of any ‘kind. If milk could be obtained and ‘stored, that was entirely free of bac- teria, ‘it would keep indefinitely. In view of the fact that absolutely germ- ‘free milk is impossible to obtain un- der practical conditions, it is impor- tant to consider the ways and means of securing milk that is from healthy cows, free of foreign matter and which contains only a small amount of bac- teria, none of which are disease-pro- ducing. The tuberculin test is used as a ‘means of eliminating cows that might ‘pass tuberculosis germs through the milk. This test is prescribed by prac- tically all city ordinances. In some cases cities require the cows to be tested or the milk pasteurized. Other cities insure a doubly safe product by requiring all the milk to come from tuberculin tested cows, whether it is pasteurized or not. Visible dirt in- the milk is not only a source of danger, but it indicates | carelessness in handling. Usually such milk contains a large number of "bacteria. SOOO ® 3 «Dairy Hints A balanced ration for the cow will help balance the hank account. * * * Give the cows all the hay they will ‘(clean up reasonably well, legumes | preferred. * * * Fifty tons of roots will replace about four and one-half tons of grain in feeding dairy cattle. * * * Get acquainted with your milking machine. It may be able to explain ‘how the milk can be better. * * * The feed saved by culling out one low-producing cow will pay the cost of testing an entire dairy herd for a year. * * * The chief reason why a cow does . not starve to death on pasture alone is because the summer season is too short. * * * Give a calf the right start. Heif- ers cost too much to raise to waste time on poor ones. A good heifer poorly developed is not a good invest- ment, either. * * *® Grow a legume to reduce feeding costs. Underfeeding dairy cows is like riding a merry-go-round; you never get anywhere. * *® > Don’t stunt the dairy calf. A cow must have constitution to make a good producer, and a stunted calf never made a big frame, * * » Many feeding experiments have fully demonstrated that the .percent- age of cream in milk is not materially altered either by the amount or qual ity of feed.
