Abstract

Excerpts from the Foreword: This "cow census " work was started as a private enterprise, to get at the real facts. Experts, who thoroughly understood dairying, dairy cattle, and right dairy conditions, were employed to do the work. They would visit the farmer and get hold of all the facts at the farm end first. Then they would visit the creamery, where an accurate record was kept of the milk yield of the herd and of the returns in cash. One squared by the other told the story. Many conclusions have been worked out of this great mass of data. The one great and paramount conclusion, overtopping all others, is that loss of profit in dairying is occasioned in nine cases out of ten by a lack of sound dairy intelligence on the part oi the farmer who is behind the cow.
