Figures compiled by the Dairy Division, United Stated Dept, of ; Agriculture, through Dairy Herd provement Association, show that cows producing a yearly average ol 100 pounds of . butterlat return a labor income of only sl4 per head, while cows producing an average of 500 pounds of butterfat annual re turn a labor income of $l7B per cow. In other words, a cow producing 500 pounds of butterfat annually gave a net income of 12.7 times more than that of a cow producing only 100 pounds of butterfat annually. An examination further into figures compiled by the Dept, shovw that when a good dairy sire (out of a high producing dam) is used in a herd of five cows producing an aver age of 366 pounds of butterfat annually, the daughters by this good sire produced 467 pounds of butter fat annually, a gain of 121 pounds, or 27.6. It was further found, that when a poor dairy sire was used in a herd of six cows producing 368 pounds of butterfat annually, his daughters produced only 245 pounds of butter fat, a loss of 123 pounds or 33.4 per cent annually. On all records available it was found that when good, dairy sires out of high producing dams were used on average producing cows, the average increase production in butterfat was 121 pounds annually in their daughters. 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria It is the most speedy remedy known.
