If Jesus' Study the Individual Cow. From various experiments in feed- ing dairy cattle, and from observa- tion made through the records of cow- testing associations, it has been found that good feeding will increase the milk flow of the average cow from 25! to 50 per cent., says Mr. A. H. White,' Chief Dairy Promoter of the Domin- ion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, in _his recently issued pumphlt t on cow-testing. To bring this increase about, it is not sufficient for the! dairyman to know the requirements! of hi herd as a whole; he must know the necessities of each individual cow in order that she may produce the most. This knowledge can be obtain- j ed only by keeping records of each: cow; but, as Mr. White points out,' where there is a milk sheet, it is an easy and simple matter to apportion the (trui" ration according to each ani- mal's production. It is no uncommon thing to find dairy cows being fed a ration of silage, hay and straw with a little oat chop and no grain at all. Yet they are expected to produce milk profitably! As the author furtlr-r says, protein is a necessity and should be supplied either in good alfalfa or clover hay <>r in such concentrates and grains as all meal, cotton seed cake, gluten meal, bran, oat chop, and other meals. Of course the best time to train anyone in habits of industry, honesty and self-reliance is when habits are being formed. All of the nation's children are entitled to receive early training.
