d  notion  aud  a  sales  agent  to  increase  the 
sales  and  prices.  While  the  discussion 
is  going  on  about  increasing  the  price  of 
milk  aud  otherwise  bettering  the  sales  de¬ 
partment  of  dairying,  the  other  feature 
should  not.  be  lost  to  view;  namely,  the 
reduction  of  production  expense.  To  pro¬ 
duce  a  qu-urt  of  milk  at  the  lowest  cost 
is  as  essential  as  to  get  the  best  possible 
bis  work  properly  without  working  Sun¬ 
days.  Less  than  that  number  makes  the 
cost  excessive.  With  25  herds  to  test, 
the  young  man  is  able  to  spend  2-i  hours 
each  month  exclusively  with  each  herd, 
studying  its  product,  testing  it,  weighing 
the  feed  and  averaging  up  the  butterfat. 
With  25  or  2(3  members,  the  cost  of  a 
milk  testing  association  a  year  is  about 
price  for  it  in  the  market  to  make  dairy¬ 
ing  a  good  business  proposition.  The  ef¬ 
ficiency  expert  in  a  factory  will  tell  the 
manufacturer  how  to  make  one  machine  do 
the  work  of  two;  how  to  make  one  man 
turn  out  as  much  work  as  two.  It  is  one  of 
the  secrets  of  Henry  Ford's  factory  that 
the  rule  of  efficiency  is  applied  every¬ 
where.  While  another  manufacturer 
might  have  one  man  to  one  lathe,  in 
Ford's  plant  one  man  can  tend  two  or 
three  lathes. 
m - -  n......  ’n.-T.v.rxm  nn  rPrtn 
the  leaks  are  in  production  and  shows 
lion  to  stop  them.  He  tells  how  to  raise 
a  quart  of  milk  for  the  lowest  cost.  Like 
all  efficiency  exports,  he  recommends  the 
removal  of  units  of  production  that  do 
not  pay  for  their  overhead  charges.  The 
unit  of  production  in  a  dairy  is  the  in¬ 
dividual  cow.  Too  much  laxuess  is  al¬ 
lowed  in  dairies  with  cows  that  do  not 
give  enough  milk  aud  butterfat  to  pay  for 
their  keep.  In  the  parlance  of  the  dairy 
such  cows  are  “lady  boarders.”  It  is  the 
business  of  the  milk  tester  to  detect  the 
lady  boarders  and  to  recommend  their  re¬ 
moval  or  their  speeding  up  so  that  their 
product  will  at  least  make  them  self-sup¬ 
porting.  It  does  not  take  many  lady 
boarders  to  drag  down  a  herd,  by  making 
the  other  cows  bear  the  cost  of  the  keep 
of  the  under-productive  members.  While 
it  is  all  right  to  organize  to  sell  to  the 
best  advantage,  there  is  force  to  the  ar- 
$550.  This  figures  out  usually  about  $1 
a  cow  a  year,  according  to  the  number  of 
cows.  For  example  there  are  from  2.100 
to  2,500  cows  under  test  in  Oneida  Coun¬ 
ty,  New  York,  in  four  testing  associa¬ 
tions,  costing  about  $2,200  for  the  an¬ 
nual  test. 
How  The  Work  Is  Done. — The  tes¬ 
ter  arrives  in  time  for  the  afternoon 
milking,  hangs  his  scales  in  the  stable 
and  weighs  and  samples  each  cow’s  milk.

Cow  Testing  and  Dairy  Profits 
Reducing  Expenses. — Thorn  are  two 
ways  in  which  greater  profits  may  he 
made  in  the  dairy  business:  Reducing  ex¬ 
penses  and  increasing  the  selling  priee. 
This  is  closely  parullel  to  any  mill  or 
manufacturing  business.  They  employ  an 
efficiency  expert  to  reduce  the  cost  of  pro- 
gnment  that  a  careful  business  man  will 
look  well  to  his  manufacturing  costs.
