FURTHER TESTS OF COWS. 



When one has selected and bought his cows in the manner I have de- 

 scribed, if he is going to get as profitable a herd as possible, he must test 

 them with the scales and Babcock test for a year. He will perhaps find 

 that, although he may be one of the best of judges of cows, he has got some 

 unprofitable ones that will have to be discarded. 



CONCLUSION. 



By this it will be seen that a dairyman, if he obtains the greatest pos- 

 sible profit out of his business, must be constantly "selecting cows" and it 

 will pay him immensely to study carefully and minutely the peculiarities 

 of form of all his best producers and he will be convinced that there is a. best 

 dairy form, as well as a best beef form, and that they never go together in the 

 same animal.

 is not to fill the mind with a vast number of facts that 

 may or may not prove useful hereafter, but to draw out 

 and exercise the powers of observation." Dr. Morris.
