They g,n .. r not sell it in any other i -. ka vii ri n ta i lit: ,w. day auout mc ww,v v .xv.fii wriih was tested for butterfat. The grain and hay fed to each cow was weighed and its value calculated. The grain feed was all purchased and because of this cost more than it would had it been grown at home. At least 50c per hundred could have been saved had home grown grains been used. The hay was soy beans and some cane was fed. The total cost of the feed was $39.20; the butterfat was worth $58.33; the skimmilk was valued at 50c per hundred making it worth $9.80. This $28.90 can be considered as the pay for the interest on the in vestment, depreciation, and for labor. There should be a value placed on the manure from the cows which any farmer will tell you is of much value. At least 60 of the fertilizing value of any feed can be saved in the manure if it is properly cared for. The 3 heifers were purchas- way to such an advantage. A train, oftentimes, cows can forage about the fields and pick much of their feed that would only fall over and be lost other wise. Much of the feed would only be wasted if there was not a cow to feed it to. Again we place a money value on the skimmilk. This is only an estimated value. There does not seem to be any other feed that can really take the place of skimmilk as a feed for young stock, chickens, calves, pigs. Its actual value is prob than the set auij niwvii ... value. And the labor of caring for the cows. Much of it is done at times when the farmer would otherwise only be idling away the hours. It might be said that another wasted product is utilized. So we can go on and set an estimate on the different products of the cow, we can value her feed, we can value the labor expended and yet we have not secured the true ans- ct. wer. There are omer -uui- ed by the Dairy Specialist, F. R Farnham, for Mr. Fisher, a year tnat cannot be valued satisfac ago. There is one heifer call sired by the Pure bred Jersey bull on Porter Bryan's farm. This bull is from a purebred Jersey cow that has made in one year over 600 lbs. of fat. What is the heifer calf worth? It is hard to calculate the ac tual profit from a herd of cows. We can place a money value on the feed consumed. We can calculate the production very -closely. We can value the skim milk as a feed for calves, for chickens, for hogs; we can esti mate the value of the manure from a fertilizing standpoint; we can do all this and yet we can not always secure the cor- torily. THE COST OF EGGS People say that eggs cannot be produc ed profitably for 18c per dozen. We grant that there is not a great deal of profit but also the season during which eggs sell for this amount is the season of cheapest production. Also this season does not last a great length of time. Mrs. Jeter Bryan's report on her flock for Februay tells us that her hens produced eggs for 15.9c per dozen. Mrs. Por ter Bryan's flock charged 17.1c per dozen for eggs. T. A Woody's flock asked their own- iMttiftiilOfliii rw " . i .V 1 " I . 11 I Ml III m 1 fc- y ww J : - ' TESTING PAYS To show that the farmers of Madison County are on the right track we quote from Hoard's Dairy man, the foremost dairy parier of the United States, the f bl owing "It is not uncommbn to hear men state that good yearly records do not increase the selling value of cows. This argument usually comes from ithose who can profit more by not knowing what a cow is ca nahlp of Droducing. The facts C . M. .' are that cows, whether grade or pure-bred, with good yearly records and equal otherwise to! those that have not, Will sell for 100 to 300 per cent more. The Holstein-Freisian World aanlyzed the public sales of 1927 and found that pure-bred cows with long time recordf averaged over $650 and cows without records and from un tested dams sold for a littw over $200. Buyers of grades are de manding more than ever cows with good annual records. It ia being found by the practical dairy farmer that the cow that can make 300 to 400 pounds of fat in a year is many times more profitable than the one that produces 200 pounds of fat The time is fast approaching when good prices cannot be ex pected for cows with no reti- ords." There are 10 of those handl ing dairy cattle in Madison Co. who are keeping records on their herds. Mrs. Robert .' Reeves visited her mother Sunday, i ' , . .

We hear mucli about overproduction ; especially in poultry and eggs. People seem to think that there is an over production in Madison County of poultry and eggs. If we look to furnish only the markets of this county and of Asheville this idea is correct. But can the farmers of Madison County stop when they have these mar kets satisfied? If they do, which farmers are going to be left out of these businesses? Mr. Oliver, State Poultry Specialist, scorned the idea of overproduction. He says that i nniiltrv business is not started in this county. He says that we cannot load a car of poultry here. We believe that hels right We cannot stop with the lo cal markets, with the marketsj Af Buncombe County. We must aim at 'shipping , poultry and eires. It takes volume to do this. It will take time to build this volume business. There should ibe.'at least, 300,000 hens in this county. Then we can talk of our poultry business a" little.
