the information was slanted in one direction or the other, he points out. He poses another question: "Should we be working toward a h’ghpr or lower fat for the breed we prefer?" Take a Holstein pro ducing lO.noo pounds of milk con taining 3.5 per cent butterfat. If the fat test were lowered to 3.0 per cent, about 50 Dounds of butterfat would be lost and 270 pounds of feed saved. The feed saving would b° wc-th about, SO. At that rate, the butterfat would pay for the ext'a feed if it were worth only 13 cents a puutid Another loss would be in the solids not-fat—around 29 pounds. Dr. Griffith says dairymen can get the greatest net profit in any breed by following a few simple rules: Peed every cow all the high quality roughage that she will eat every day. Treat each cow as an individ ual and do thorough job of milking her. Whatever breed is preferred, keep complete records on all cows. It is not the breed that determines the profit, Dr. Griffith says. Profit is the result of a good dairymen with a good feeding program doing a good job of milking good cows.
