The Profitless Cow 



Tlie profitless cow i; a subject 

 that has been harped on now for a 

 good many years, but we are sorry 

 to relate she still remains in the 

 laud. A cow census v/ould show 

 that so far as the farmer is con- 

 cerned, half of the cows could be 

 sent to the butcher without loss to 

 their owners. The public would of 

 course, be the loser, for a definite 

 amount of milk would be taken out 

 of trade, and the remainder would 

 be in such demand that the price 

 would be enhanced. On the farm- 

 er's side, however, the result would 

 mean profit. Ultimately the gen- 

 eral public might get its milk as 

 cheah as at first, for the poor cows 

 would no longer produce poor cows, 

 but the entire supply of calves 

 would come from profitable milkers 

 Now, year after year, the farmer 

 ]-)Uts a certain sum of money, in the 

 way of feed, into his cow, and gets 

 back the same sum. He throws in 

 his work. Most of the men that 

 are doing this do not know it, for 

 they have never kept an account of 

 what they are doing. They have 

 no idea as to the results from their 

 milking operations. They take it 

 for granted that the bard work thev 

 are putting in is profitable. Littie 

 by little the poor cows are being 

 weeded out of the herds, but pro- 

 gress is slow. We need to use 

 more universally the milk scales 

 the Babcock test and the lead pen- 

 cil. — Australian Farm and Home.
