The condition of the farming indus- try as seen on the average farm points to ‘the need of better bustness meth- ods and more definite knowledge of the sources of profit and loss. In no de- partment connected with the farm is there more need of definite data than in the dairy. E 2 Since dairying counstitutes the ma- jor part of th: farming industry here i New London county, the county agent feels tifat one of the most fm- jortant lines of mmvmexut skould be 0 herd js one ‘of the dertaken in 2t Just what our cows are doing. One’farmer in Massa- chusetts is quoted as saying that he didn't see the use of keeping these things, bacause ti wouldn't maie the caws give any more milk, but there are several reasons why it should be done by every farmer. » First, daily records of the perform- ahce of each cow in the herd makes it possible to weed out the unprofitable animals; second, besides the additional profit gained therepy, for the increased intarest which they give to all connect- ed with the work and the business methods which they have a tendency to- promote; and, third, to show the possibilities of production and profit with different breeds and individaals. Corstant Aim to Improve Herds. ‘Records of the performances cf dairy cows form the only accurate and safe Fasis for judging their value. It is the c:nstant aim of the progressive dairy- man to improve his herd, and such im- provement is largely gependent on ruli- ing the herd and getfing rid of the un- protitable animals. Can anyone tell the pleasure derived from milking a cow night and morning the whole year round when you are paying her to stay with you? She is not-the kind of a star boarder that helps lift the morl~ to get rid ‘buyer should t on eeing thentic regord of the production purchasing an animal. It is too often the case that a caw fools her owner by giving 20 quarts for two weeks per- | haps and from then on to neighbors, ‘buyers and the farmer himself she is & 20-quart cow, ' Records often bring out the fact that this cow Is beaten by her neighbor who started with 15 ?unru and has given consistently dur- Ing her whole milking period. Records Help in Feeding. " Records are also a great help in If the farmer knows exactly what a cow is doing he prepares her ration accordingly and feeds as much and as economically as she will show an increase on. Again, a record enables a dairyman to det the ap- | proach of sickness and so take sieps to ward it off. Whetker an owner milks all of his cows or not, he can keep close track of all imdividuals by* Jooking over the milk sheets. If a cer- 1ain cow has suddenly dropped in pro-, duction, there is some cause Which should be detected at once. Great 'inspiration is obtained from keeping a record and nothing gives a dairyman more . satiafaction than watching the improved returns from his herd. . _League Will Do the Adding. The main objection given by the av. erage farmer for not keeping records is because of the @fount of work at! the end of each month in adding up| the long columrs of figures represent- l Llng the morning and night production | of each cow. To relieve the farmer of | \all expense and bother, the Improve- ‘ment league is ready to supply milk sneets furnished by the Connecticut Agricultural’ college, and at the end, of the month to do all the adding and figuring if the farmer will simply weigh his milk and set it down at each miik- % | Two of these milk sheets are en-1 civsed in a mailing tube nnddrmgd to the county agent. They contain, spaces for 20 head of cows, recording l;their two . milkirgs per day for one month. One of these sheets is put up in the barn and weights set down each | day. When this is filled, the second one is put up in the barn and the first | put into the tube and 'sent to the zgent's office. Here they will be added ! d taublated and returned with a| third new sheet. | The agent has the free use of the; mails, so no postage will be requlre&; All that the County Improvement' lengue is asking the dairymen to do: now is simply to send a card to the | county agent, which will bring the record sheets by return mail. l GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATED AT FALL RIVER.
