Studies of the National Dairy Show 
The National Dairy Show lias never 
attracted what one might term a national 
assemblage of the several breeds of dairy 
cattle, i, c., the leading prize winning 
herds or outstanding individual animals 
from every section of the country. There¬ 
fore it is not national in the sense that 
the final ratings of its listed classes can be 
looked upon or recognized as the premier 
standard hearers of the several breeds of 
dairy animals. Its major attendance is 
local; a large percentage of tin* entries 
•are local, thus its influence or general 
impetus to the dairy industry must of 
necessity he restricted to the adjacent 
territory. It is to be regretted that the 
show does not have a 'permanent home of 
its own. as does the International Fat 
Slock Show, and thus make if possible 
for the national organization to function 
orderly in its constructive efforts to build 
up the dairy industry. Rather than ro¬ 
tate from section to section, much would 
be gained by permanently establishing 
the show at 'Chicago, where it might: 
easily develop into an exhibition of a na¬ 
tional scope. Its management should not 
be forced to build up a new community 
spirit each year. The public scarcely ap¬ 
preciates wiiat this task represents. 
More real country men and women who 
actually milk cows or make butter or 
cheese attended the show this year than 
ever before. The farm hoys and girls 
were there, too. They took part in the 
junior dairy cattle judging contest, fea¬ 
tured tin* llealthland exhibit, and made 
their presence widely known through the 
exhibition of calves from the county and 
district calf clubs. This did much to at¬ 
tract the grown-ups and to concentrate 
the young folks’ attention on farm and 
dairy opportunities. Seventy-live calves 
were entered and shown by the boys and 
girls, and their part of the show was 
an inspiring event. 
For the first time classes were offered 
for grade cows sired by purebred bulls 
and with official production records cer¬ 
tified to by a cow test association. Two 
classes were recognized; one for cows 
with a butterful production record for a 
year of over 500 lbs.; the other for cows 
with records varying from 550 to 500 lbs. 
of fat. Fifty-four grade cows were en¬ 
tered in competition. Bones, a grade 
Holstein owned by E. D. Oliv v, Amboy, 
Minn., was designated champion grade 
cow, her record being 75X55 lbs. of fat. 
She sold at auction for $240. The Ex¬ 
tension department of the Wisconsin 
College and the Wisconsin Dairymen’s 
Association fostered this show, and the 
sale of the 35 cow test record grade cows. 
The 24 head of Holstein grades sold for 
an average of 150; nine grade Guern¬ 
seys for an average uf $101.00, and two 
Jerseys brought $117.50 each. The 35 
head brought an average of $150. The 
cow known as “The Big White Cow" 
came from a Wisconsin herd of 31 cows 
whose average yearly production of hut - 
terfftt was 451 lbs. She brought $200. 
Some of the purebred breeders did not 
approve of this grade cow sale, nor did 
they sanction the classification for grades 
in the prize list. To many this attitude 
seemed selfish and narrow. There are 
more grade herds than purehreds in the 
country and. since these cows have certi¬ 
fied production records and were sired by 
purebred and registered sires, why ob¬ 
ject to their exhibition? It was clearly 
the greatest object lesson in constructive 
breeding on the ground and would nat¬ 
urally lead many to go on from cow test 
grades to purehreds. Many breeders for¬ 
get that oue third of our beef and veal 
comes from dairy animals; that IS per 
cent of the budget of the average family 
is spent for dairy products, and that of 
the 30,000.000 dairy cattle in this coun¬ 
try less than 1,000.000 are puicbreds. h 
will follow conclusively that, siuce the 
large percentage of dairy products trace 
to the grade or scrub row. any attempt 
to improve the type <>r increase the aver¬ 
age production per cow ought to be very 
enthusiastically supported. The farmers 
themselves entered and cared for the 
cows; otherwise they might not have at¬ 
tended the show. 
In equipment, copper-lined vats, tanks 
and containers arc rapidly giving way to 
glass-lined containers. The new process 
of fusing glass on steel seems to he an 
innovation. A carload of milk shipped 
in a thermos or glass-lined car in bulk 
created the talk of th" show. It was 
shipped from Northern New York State 
to St. Paul, and the variation or increase 
in temperature during the trip was leas 
than two degrees Fahrenheit. This meth¬ 
od of shipment, if generally accepted, will 
eventually do away with the shipment 
anil return of cans, and will greatly re¬ 
duce the erpetisc of extensive and fre¬ 
quent icing. 
Most of the old type combined churns 
and butter workers refused to operate 
without first coming to a stop, ami then 
the stripping of cogs was a frequent oc¬ 
currence. The improved machines func¬ 
tion automatically. Then when the but¬ 
ter comes and is fully worked, devices 
are now available that will cut, wrap and 
put in cartons the finished product with¬ 
out any handling whatsoever.

In the manufacture of feeds we have adopted the policy 
of positive fixed standards believing it to be in the inter¬ 
est of feeders. 
The standards are scientifically correct and have stood 
the test of years of practical feeding. 
To maintain these fixed standards we make use of any 
available ingredients which will supply the nourishment 
at lowest cost. This necessitates changes of formulas as 
market conditions vary, and by the changes we are often 
able to save the feeder several dollars per ton in cost of 
the mixture. The sole purpose of

Is to give the dairyman feeds from which the cow derives what she 
requires for maintenance and milk production at lowest cost. 
Since the feed to be fed depends upon the roughage available on 
the farm, TI-O-GA FEED SERVICE classifies roughage into three 
groups according to nutritive content and provides a feed to combine 
with each class. Each combination meets the fixed standard for a 
balanced ration that results in more milk at lowest cost: 
Red Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with low protein succulent roughage: Silage, Pastur¬ 
age, Green Fodder, etc. 
White Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with medium protein dry roughage: Timothy Hay, 
Mixed Hay, Corn Fodder, etc. 
Blue Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with high protein dry roughage: Clover Hay, Alfalfa, etc. 
To add any other feed will unbalance the ration; the results will 
not be as good and the cost of production will be increased. This is 
true whether the addition is a cheap feed or high concentrate. 
The uniform nutritive standard of TI-O-GA Dairy Feeds is al¬ 
ways maintained. The results obtained have proven the standard 
correct and nothing should be added to TI-O-GA Dairy' Feeds.
