It creates higher values for 1 proved cows and their progeny. < It shows positively that some sys- ' tem of milk recording and testing I is essential to progress. It will 1 direct attention to loss through t faulty separating. During the < last year a dairyman'with a large I herd discovered a loss of 15s a 1 day by the herd tester chancing to test the skim milk.
