At| the profitable from the unprofitable in Determining Good Cows Keeping Records of Quality and Quantity of Milk Only Satisfactory Way to Select Profitable Cattle By C. H.

In other cases the fat content of their milk is low. The point to be kept in mind is that cows vary far more in total milk production than they do in fat content. In the Missouri University herd one Jersey produced over five times as Asa But it is practically impossi- show an average fat content double that of another in the same breed, but such extremes would be very excep- tional.

In communities where milk is sold jto factories on the butter fat basis, ‘certain herds are often considered the |hest in the community simply because | the percentage of fat from these herds is the highest.’ But this should not be taken as evidence that these are the Selection of Cows by Test. istactory way to select The only BAKING POWDER You will find it a great satisfaction to do More Home Baking You will make biscuit, cake and pastry clean, fresh and tasty—better every way than the ready made foods.
