The Babcock Test 29 



Every Cow Owner Should Have a Babcock Tester. 



If you have never used a Babcock Tester or had 

 some one else test your herd, depend upon it you are 

 keeping one or more animals at a loss. A test will 

 show you some surprising facts; facts that you can- 

 not afford to ignore; facts that mean big money to 

 you. 



For example, take three cows, each producing 5,500 

 Ibs. of milk per year (an average of 20 Ibs. per day for 

 275 days). Cow No. 1 produces milk containing 3% 

 butterfat, No. 2, 4% butterfat, No. 3, 5% butterfat. 

 Say butterfat is worth 25 cents per pound, see what 

 we get. 



Cow No. 13% of 5,500 equals 165 Ibs. butter- 

 fat at 25c $41.25 



Cow No. 2 4% of 5,500 equals 220 Ibs. butter- 

 fat at 25c 55.00 



Cow No. 35% of 5,500 equals 275 Ibs. butter- 

 fat at 25c 68.75 



Now supposing it costs $40 to feed and care for each 

 cow for one year. On this basis: 



Cow No. 1 makes $1.25 net profit. 

 Cow No. 2 makes $15.00 net profit. 

 Cow No. 3 makes $28.75 net profit. 



Cow No. 3 is equal to 23 cows like No. 1. 



Can you afford not to own a Babcock Tester? 



A tester is inexpensive in first cost. A small supply 

 of an inexpensive chemical is the only expense there- 

 after. Anyone can make accurate tests.
