that the morning would hurry and

Only
hree Per Cent of Pure Breed
Dairy Cattle in U. S.
A similar movement, more im-
oortant to the overuse American
family. Is being fostered to our
lalrv herds, kar-siglucd Amen*
cans are working to increase the
.off average yield of dairy cows by
introducing ourc-hred dairy cattle.
There *re over thirty million dairy
zattte in the United States today,
but of this number only a little over
three per eent are purs bred The
United States Bureau of Agricul*
:ural Economies estimates thst on
Jaa. 1st* of this year there were
22.29U.000 cows and heifers, two
vears old and over, kept (or milk
production. «But the total, includ
ing calves, on the basis of the
Twentieth Census, will exceed
thirty million. On the basis of tbs
average butter fat production at 4 ,
ocr cent as estimated by the United
States Bureau of Dairying, the six
states with the lowest uverage pro
duction nf milk per cow will yield
only 64 lbs. of butter fat per cow
per year. The nine states of high
est average production wiU yield
on this basis, only 164 lbs. of but-
cer fat per cow per year. Butter
*at usually establishes the price
wpich the dairyman receives for
ais milk. Omitting the more pro
ductive herds, it is fair to say that
the ordinary farm cow gives but
/6 lbs. of butter fat per annum.
Leaders in the dairy industry,
che government, and the state agri
cultural colleges are striving to
raise the average oroduetioo of
dairy cows. In Texas alone thirty
thousand boys members of calf
dubs are working to introduce oure
areo stock A cow that gives only
160 lbs. of butler fat per annum
u a mighty ooor investment, tn
the light of modern standards?
:here were only 12.6 per cent pure
bred bulls; in the nine slates. 42 6
ocr cent.—a proof of the value of
pure bred bulls. It is found, too.
that as the Quality of dairy cows
improves their number incroatcf,
the increase reaching 25U per cent
in the group of states with cows of
highest average orcduction. Simi
larly. interest rates op farm
mortgages decrease. A farmer
wno imnrovcs the overage of his
dairy cattle is a better mortgage
risk.
An exceptionally comprehensive
educational work to Increase aver-
nge production of dairy cows is
being demonstrated at the famous
Handlelgh Farm of oure bred Jer-
sevs situated three miles from
I-ockport. New York. The experi
mental work of this farm is sc
outstanding and unusual as to be of
universal interest to everyone to
the object Is to bring out the eow f s
natural production by proper feed
and care and not to make a few
big forced records that ruin the
animal. The farm is a marvel of
efficient management Visitors are
welcome on all days but Sundays.
They come from countries as far
distant as Japan and have access to
all available information.
The management believes thst
any dairyman who will intelligent
ly follow the course pursued at
Randleigb Farm can obtain seven
ty-five or eighty per cent of the re
sults obtained there. Of course,
a busy dairyman could not give
his cows all the attention they are
givdn nt Randleigb Farm. Nor
would he have so extensive an
equipment. But a study of its
methods would greatly increase the
value of his cream checks at the
creamery. "» -
Famous Rood Farm Jerseys.
The Randleigb Farm herd was
assembled only four years ago. The
real suiting point, however, was
the purchase of a foundation herd
of five cows and a young bull tn
1920 from the famous Hood Farm
in Massachusetts. The Hood Farm
Jerssy Cattle bad been to bred for

A famous son of Sophie 19th,
Pogis 99th Of Hood Farm, was
leased by Randleigb Farm. This
great bull was the sire of 114 Reg
ister of Merit daughters and 3U
proven sons. He is said to nave
been the only Jersey bull to have
passed the "century mark” with
more than one hundred daughters
to win these tests. The grand old
monarch died at Randleign Farm
full of years and honors and has
been succeeded by Soohie 19tn's
Victor, another son of Sophie 19th
as senior herd sire. He was
bought st the dispersion of the
Hood Farm to 1923 and has the
distinction of being the highest
priced American-bred bull ever
sold at auction. He Is said by
many authorities to to the best
American-bred bull alive, and is
probably the beat son of Sophie
19th. He tipces three times in
