COW-TESTING.
If evidence were wanted of the value of cow-testing, it is to be found in a progress report just published by the Agricultural Department of the results attained by the four Cow-Test-ing Associations which are in operation in the North Island. This shows that in one case twenty-one of the best cows Jn a herd have yielded as much as thirty-eight of the worst. The difference in the cost of keeping, feeding and milking the worst as compared with the best, must be at least 75 per cent, greater. If, by judicious culling, this 75 per cent, can be saved', the individual as well as the Dominion will be much the better off.
