CANADIAN FARM YEAR BOOK. 



A great measure of personal satis- 

 faction results from studying each 

 cow as an individual performer, not 

 as a mere machine. 



Cow testing increases one's love 

 for good cows, and creates infinitely 

 more pleasure in the work of the 

 farm. 



The definite knowledge obtained 

 from the regular monthly testing is 

 much more satisfactory in every way 



than getting an occasional result 

 only once or twice a year. 



Financially, cow testing is of very 

 great benefit; young bulls sell for 

 higher prices. Cows sell for double 

 the old prices when buyers see rec- 

 ords. 



Cow testing not only interests the 

 boys and girls more and more in 

 farm life, but materially assists in 

 providing additional home comforts 

 for the women and children.
