Book Description
Excerpt from How to Choose a Good Cow To study the homely, commonplace cow is strictly in accordance with the spirit of the times. The growing tendency in education is to give a larger and larger proportion of time to the study of things that pertain to everyday life. Every man, woman and child uses in one or more forms the products of the dairy cow. In Western Wash ington many families and many communities depend upon dairying for their principal income, many others keep a family cow, and many depend upon buying all milk, butter, etc., consumed. In any case, all are interested in the most economical production of high class dairy products. Dairy cows vary greatly in the amount of milk and butter fat they will produce and in the economy of production. Many will yield a large profit but many will not pay for their feed with the best of care and are correctly termed star boarders. The majority of dairy herds contain some star boarders eating up the profits produced by better members of the herd. Many dairymen realize they are not clearing much money but are unable to detect the boarders. There is no more important thing to be taught in a region as de pendent upon dairying for its development and prosperity as Western Washington than the best method for selecting a good cow, and there is no better channel for the dissemination of this knowledge than through the public schools. There are two methods in use for the selection of a dairy cow: 1. The use of the Babcock test and the milk scale. 2. Selection of a cow from physical makeup.

Excerpt from The Selection of Milch Cows On the selection of milch cows depends largely the success or failure of those engaged in dairy farming.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Cow This little book does not pretend to be a textbook nor a treatise on dairy husbandry, for there are plenty of such books already. It is simply an effort to set down the ideas of a dairyman concerning his own business and to view the cow as a very interesting animal who after all these thousands of years of close companionship with man still retains many primal instincts and many hereditary tendencies. So we may ask the meaning of old winding cow-paths and little calves hidden in the bushes and the tragedy of the herd bull condemned to spend his days tied to a post by a ring in his nose (like Sampson, old and blind, grinding meal for his conquerers) when his place is to march proudly at the head of his obedient herd. Dairying has grown into a vast and complex and exceedingly modern business, conducted in great manufacturing establishments with white tile and steam sterilizers and pure cultures and bacterial counts; yet there ought to be a place to revive at least the memory of old farm houses under great trees and herds winding down the road at milking time, and farm women making butter in cool spring-houses or shadowy white-washed cellars.

Excerpt from Judging Dairy Cattle One of the chief factors influencing the cost of production in dairying is the yield obtained from each cow in the herd. Records kept on a large number of cows show in general that the highest average income over the cost of feed has been obtained from herds composed of the highest producing cows.

Excerpt from How to Select Cows, or the Guenon System Simplified, Explained, and Practically Applied The State of Pennsylvania, in 1878, appointed a commission to test the system and report upon it. As a member of that commission, we found there was with many a superficial knowledge of the subject, with others enough acquaintance with the system to destroy their faith in it, ' and with nearly all a desire to obtain sufficient practical knowledge of the system to enable them to judge understandingly and to practice it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Dairy Herd Fm. L7. - The square, beefy type of cow, usually a poor milker. Note poorly placed teats. Compare with Fig. 16.considered is the choice of a breed and whether the herd shall be made up.of pure-bred or grade animals. There are several well-known breeds of dairy cattle in (anad each having distinct qualities and each having strong partisans. While, undoubtedly, some breeds are better fitted for certain conditions of soil and climate than are others, still the matter of the choice of a breed may well be left to individual preference. In almost any location one may choose a breed for which he has a strong liking, either real or fancied, and be assured that he can establish with it a successful herd. Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, Ayrshires, and even Shorthorns, make a varied and fairly long list of breeds from which to select. The comparative merits of pure-bred and grade cows. Whether pure bred or grade animals should, be selected is a matter on which there may be more difference of opinion. By purely bred animals are 'meant those that are recorded in the herd-books of their respective breeds. This is the narrow, restricted sense of the term pure-bred, but it is the one in common use in Canada. A grade ammal is the produce of a pure-bred sire on a common, or grade, dam. The produce of a pure-bred sire and a common, or scrub, dam is called a half blood; the produce of a pure-bred sire and a half-blood dam is called a three-quarters blood; a three-quarters blood bredin turn to a pure-bred sire will produce a seven-eighths blood and so on ad infinitum. Since only the offspring of pure-bred parents on both sides are eligible to registry in the herd books of any of the dairy breeds, it follows that, no matter how far the process of grading up by. The use of pure-bred sires on grade females is carried, pure breds, in the technical sense, can never be produced. Since pure-bred animals are sought for breeding purposes, the offspring of pure-bred animials are therefore more valuable and command a higher price than the offspring of grades. Hence, if the yalue of the calves is taken into consideration, a pure-bred herd is amore productive one, other things being equal, than a grade herd On the other hand, by the grading-up process referred to, continually selecting the cows that are the best producers, it is entirely possible and by no means difficult to estab lish a herd of grade cows that will equal in the production of milk any herd of pure-bred animals. Hence, if the main product alone is sought, a grade herd may produce as largely as a pure-bred one; but if the by-products are to be taken into consideration, as it was stated at the outset that they should be, a pure-bred herd certainly has an advantage over a grade herd of equal productive capacity.
