They were both of excellent breeding, and there seemed no reason why one should not be as good as the other, her close relative. The records showed a great difference between them. As is illustrated in the accom- panying diagram, one cow averaged, during the three years, 483 pounds of butterfat a year. That was a paying quantity, and gave a neat -profit to the owners. The other averaged, dur- ing three years, only 109 pounds of butterfat a year. That was not a pay- ing quantity, and her owner would have been milking her for the fun of it. There is only one sure way to know which cows are giving a profit, and that is to keep some kind of a milk record.

To divide the surface of the sand into squares, the simplest way is to drive tacks or small nails into the sides of the box at equal inter- vals, stretching cord across to form the lines.

The cattle get little out of it, and sometimes, by nibbling up a lot of last year’s grass they get indigestion. And the pasture will do better if it is left awhile at the start. ‘ Probably the first thing most farm Cows need, on the average, is more feed. Next they need better feed.

Where no incubator is available, or in a south room where it will keep warm, It ig especially important this year that corn be tested, as much of the seed is poor. One farmer who said he had seed to sell mentioned that most of it was still standing in the shock. He will not have much suc- cess this time, and neither will those who use the seed.
