Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of Dairy Progress Production and Plans for Fifty More The average production per dairy animal in Wisconsin is al most pounds of milk a year, making 190 pounds of butter fat instead of 150, the average Of the United States. With Wisconsin farmers in 147 different cow-testing associations test ing the quality Of the production of over animals, and dis carding this last year over 5 per cent Of those animals; with 48 of these cow-testing associations in which every male animal is purebred rather than a scrub or inferior in quality; with the elimination of disease, which it has been possible to bring about here in Wisconsin so that now whole counties are entirely free from the scourge of tuberculosis - ir is Obvious that Wisconsin is in a position to face the competition of the future better than any other state in the nation. The work of continued improvement will have to be pushed harder than ever as prices decline - better animals, better feed ing methods, better care, elimination of all possible losses in the production of milk. Then, too, the leaks that now occur in the manufacturing processes must be cut out or greatly reduced. These are the little foxes that destroy the vines, and eat up the profits. Take this recent experience of two Swiss factories in Green county. In one factory the milk brought the factory pa trons 60 cents per 100 pounds because the quality Of the cheese was so poor. Most of it developed a putrefactive fermentation, the so-called stinker cheese. Within a mile from this factory was another factory which was turning out an extra fine product, bringing its farmer owners $3 a hundred for their milk. It is necessary to overcome just such leaks as this to convert a serious loss into a profit. A well-established industry, as is dairy ing, judiciously and intelligently handled, 'still offers the best field for Wisconsin endeavor. The gamble in this crop is in finitely less than would be the case in grain, fruit, or beef, under Wisconsin conditions.
