BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Don't Kid Yourself At the Milk
Pail
Any business man would rid-
icule the idea of conducting his
affairs without some accurate
system of accounts. It is just
as foolish for the dairy farmer
to try to make a living profit
from his cows without some
means of determining which are
paying him, and whether he is
feeding them the most econom-
ical and efficient ration possible.
Dairying, like most other bus-
inesses today, is conducted on a
very close margin between the
cost of production and sale of
product, and success is only pos-
sible by the elimination of all
small losses and defects.
The necessity of keeping rec-
ords has been apparent for a
long time, but it was not until
Dr. Babcock perfected his test
for easily determining the
amount of butter fat in milk in
1889, that it was possible for all
dairy farmers to have this in-
formation. The essentials of a
good system are that it should
show the dairy farmer the
amount of milk and butterfat
each cow produces, amount of
feed consumed and price of pro-
duct sold. Without this inform-
ation on each cow in the herd
the dairy farmer is going it blind
and guessing. A method of do-
ing business that he would
strongly condemn in any one
with whom he had dealings.
Figures kept on the production
of dairy cattle in all sections of
the United States show that prac-
tically one-third of the cows in
dairy herds are porducing milk
and fat at a loss; without an
accurate record it is impossible
for the man who milks the cow
to tell to which class the average
cow belongs over a long period
of time.
An observing man with a good
memory may be able to make a
fairly accurate guess as to his
heaviest milkers, but when it
comes to determining the highest
and lowest producers of butter-
fat in the herd he is all at sea,
unless he tests his cows reg-
ularly.
As the income form the great-
er proportion of cows milked in
this country is based on the
amount of butterfat they pro-
duce, whether sold as whole milk
or as crf;am, the importance of
knowing how much fat each cow
produces or is capable of pro-
ducing becomes apparent. Among
the herds that I have been teat-
iijg for the past year there was
one on which a complete yearly
record was had in May of this
year, in which this point is dear*
ly brought out. The herd consist-
ed of eleven cows, the feed cost
of butterfat for the entire herd
for the year was 18 cents per
pound; three cows in the herd
produced butterfat at a less
cost than IS cents, the average
cost for these three cows being
16 cents; four cows in the herd
produced butterfat at a feed cost
of over 22 cents, their average
being 24 cents. Now between
the group of three that produced
butterfat at a feed cost of 16
cents and the group ol' four that
produced butterfat at a feed
cost of 24 cents, there was a
difference of 8 cents a pound in
cost of feed for each pound of
butterfat produced by the dif-
ferent groups. The question nat-
urally arises as to why this dif-
ference existed, and in looking
the matter UP and going over the
individual records of each of the
cows for the year we find that
each one of the three cows in
the group producing butterfat
at an average feed cost of 16
cents per pound, producing milk
that tested better than 55? for
the years lactation and each one
of the four cows that produced
butterfat at an average feed cost
of 24 cents per pound, produced
milk that tested 4% or under for
the years lactation period'.
This difference of one per cent
in the test of the milk for the
lactation period carried a differ-
ence of 8 cents in the feed cost
of producing a pound oi" butter-
fat. Now there is not a dairy
farmer in this country that would
not go to a great deal of trouble
to get 8 cents more a pound for
the fat that he sells. This i>
something he can. see but un-
fortunately it is beyond his pow-
er to command. There are how-
ever very few dairy farmer* in
this section that will take any
trouble at all to produce their
butterfat at a saving in feed cost
of 8 cents a pound by having
their cows tested and locating
the high and low cost of pro
duction cows. This 8 cents
saved in production costs is just
as good and just as real as an
8 cent advance in price, and best
of all it is within the power of
every dairy farmer to command.
During a period of high prices
for any product the determining
factor in profits is volume and
during the past few years of high
prices for butterfat the recogni-
tion of this fact has caused
anything that would give milk to
be brought into the dairy herd.
During a period of readjust-
ment or low prices such as we
are and have been passing
through lately the determining
factor in profits is cost of pro-
duction-, this has not been as
readily recognized among dairy
farmers as a whole although it
should be apparent. During a
period of low prices such as we
have had in the cream market
lately the producer should make
every effort to lower his cost
of production, not only tempor-
arily but permanently. This is
entirely within his power and
should be his contribution to-
wards a higher standard of hav-
ing in addition to what he will
get out of it.
The only way in which a dairy-
farmer can cut his costs and
increase production at the same
time is to have his herd tested
at regular intervals and checking
up on feeds and costs at the
same time. This in fact will put
his milking operations on a busi-
ness basis and enable him to
know what it is all about in-
stead of guessing.
The testing of dairy cattle for
production has received the ap-
proval of all recognized dairy
authorities; the earliest form of
organized testing the Dairy Herd
Improvement Association has
grown in the last twenty years
from a struggling infant into a
lusty giant. There are at pres-
ent over one thousand Dairy Herd
Improvement Associations in the
United States containing twenty
five hundred dairy farmers with
over a half a million cows on
test, principally lower in the so-
called dairy states.
If testing is needed as badly
as this in the strictly dairy states
how much more is it needed
here where we are just starting
into dairying and where we
should be anxious to take ad-
vantage of everything that has
been proven of value to the busi-
ness that we are just taking up.

You'll save money...

when you return.
The Rumseys are going vaca-
tioning.
The milk's been stopped, the
ice man has been called off, and
the Man Who Delivers the
Newspaper has been instructed
to bring no more until further
notice.
But the telephone will be left
at home, drawing full pay in an
empty house!
Something should be done
about this!
Vacation rates for idle
residence telephones
One solution (provided you're
planning a vacation of 30 days
or more) is to place your tele-
phone on vacation half-rates
while you are away.
It's a convenient way to save
money. And—this to folks who
sometimes have their telephones
taken out—it spares you incon-
venience on your return. That's
because:
1. You pay just half the regu-
lar rate.
2. Service is reconnected
quickly after you return—
usually within 24 hours
after you notify us.
3. You keep your present tele-
phone number. (You'd lose
it if you had your tele-
phone removed!}
4. Your name remains in the
telephone book.
