Milk Records. 



1 The profitable dairy cow must E;i\e over 5,000 pounds o£ milk each year. To know the 

 value of a cow. l-.cr total annual yield of milk must be known. The only way to know this is 

 to keep a record of her daily milk yield. 



2 The form on the other side of this sheet is intended to help progressive dairy farmers 

 by supplyiiiEi them with a simple and convenient sheet for the keeping' of the milk records of 

 tlie r in-liv;dual cows. A study of such records will soon indicate which cows should go to the 

 butcher. We should be pleased to receive a summary of your record. If you have no sum- 

 mary forms write us». 



3. Such records ;ire b'ing kept by hundreds of successful dairymen to-day. Many of these 

 n-.e:; atti loule tVicir success to the keepinsr of such records. Why not give the thing a 

 tria' if you are a dairyman? It will increase your milk production. It will lighten your labour, 

 since your interest will le irirreased in your work and " inteiest lightens labour." It will show 

 > ou the unprofitable cow. the " boarder." You cannot get rid of lier too o.uickly. 



4. For weighing the inilk. a simple legal spring balance may be secured for from one anl 

 a half to four and a half dollars. If youi* local dealer cannot supply you, write the under- 

 signed for particulars. A small platform scale is faiily convenient, but we find the spring 

 balance preferable. 



5. Many farmers keep records of the amount of foorl fed to infliv'duai cows. If you would 

 like to ('o o. sample forms would b(v sent free on writing li. S. Archibald, Dominion Animal
