VALUE OF TESTING.
Cow testing associations determine the production of every cow belonging to members of the association. They locate the good, the medium, and the poor cows which cannot be found in any other way. After the capacity of the cows is known, there Is opportunity of increasing the production of the herd . The constant breeding of the best producing cows to a well-selected bull should establish a herd of high-producing dairy cows. Cows under test receive better care and more concern is given to the subject of feeding. When there is nothing to prompt the dairy farmer to study the individuality of the cow, her needs are not watched as closely as when there is some object in giving her attention. The owner learns to know his cows as individuals: each one becomes a personality of interest.
