During the depression which has been so keenly felt by dairy cattle brooders it lias been constantly urged, says an English authority, that (he most profitable way to decrease tho surplus of dairy products is to keep accurate lccoids on the producing ability of cows.

At the present time 731 brooders are testing 3827 pure-bred Guernsey cows, an increase of 42 per cent, in one year.
