by such tests as these may be very valuable to the owner of the cows, and 

 it should be of vital importance to the cow, as her life ought to depend on 

 the record she makes. Previous to making the tests the owners of these 

 cows had very little, if any, accurate idea of the relative value of their 

 cows, but the record shows that the information gained is worth many 

 times the cost of a milk weighing scale and Babcock milk test, and the time 

 necessary to use them. 



In addition to these tests of patrons' cows, many cow records are 

 made at the Agricultural College, and tests are also conducted at various 

 farms throughout the state. A few of these records have been taken 

 from the Annual Report of the Wisconsin Agricultural Expei- 

 ment Station, and are given in the following pages as worked out by 

 Prof. Carlyle.
