fooled that way I would keep rlgh1
still about it. If Iowa had refused 10
pay the money guaranteed to the WIS.,
itors they could have done nothing
and think that Iowa would do right
in refusing to arrange other games
with them. l do not think, tho, that
the other colleges ought to take any
action. 1t is Iowa's fight. Nor do
think that Grinnell ought to cancel
her game with Cornell for next Sat-
urday or anything of the kind. Other
Iowa colleges In scheduling games
with Cornell will probably be carefui
to specify which team they want
Il do not think it is putting 1t 100
strong to say that / consider 1T UNI
sportsmanlike in the Cornell manage
ment If they sent down the second
team to play at Iowa City last Sat
urday." said Guy Brewer, who repre-
sents Ames in the conferences. This
Cornell management is certainly open
to criticism and will probably have
trouble in getting games with other
colleges Of the state. One OF the dif-
ficulties seems to be that athletics at
Cornell are not under faculty control"
The act which is condemned In Cor
nell Is scheduling a game and then
sending the second team to play 1t ana
taking the full guarantee. SIS, thereby
getting good profit on the expenses
of the trip. 1t is said that Cornell
insisted on the guarantee rather than
wait until after the game to get
percentage of the gate receipts, altho
this would have given them larger
sum.
A prominent Cornell alumni said:
Cornell did nothing more than the
other colleges of Iowa are accustomed
to do and think nothing Of 1t. Iowa
has repeatedly sent down her second
team to play the games scheduled at
Cornell and I don't see why they
should make howl when Cornell doe,
the same thing The logic of this ar
gument is admitted by those who con-
denim Cornell.
Iowa's plea is that the uneven game
did not satisfy the patronage when a
good game had been advertised ana
that it will hurt their patronage in
other games. No action has been ta>
ken yet by any of the colleges. but
the matter is causing considerable
comment

his name was called to answer two

work. The answers received were
very hopeful and showed that the
league is doing a great deal of good.

An Army of Poor Cows

One has but to look over the United
States census OF milk production to
be convinced that we have on our
farms a great army OF very poor
COWS, as we'll as small army of
good ones. The army OF poor cows
outnumbers the army OF good ones,
and that is the reason that on the
ordinary farm and on the average the
COW does not pay for her feed. This
is remarkable statement, but we
have been unable to find that 1t is
false, much as we would like TO. The
figures OF the COW population fol- the
country approach lS,OuO,O00. or this
number at least half should be dis.
posed of as fast as new cows can be
put in their places. With the poorer
half out OF the way the farmer would
make as much money as he does at
the present time and be relieved OF
half OF the labor and large snare
of the expense, When the value OF
the labor saved was taken into con
sideration and added to the feed
saved it would be found that the,
change was equal to a profit instead
Of loss.

Buy a Milk Tester.

We have referred to the matter OF
a milk tester before and that many
times. But we are conscious OF the
fact that a good many of our readers
have never invested in a milk tester
and we know also that we have new
thousands of readers every year. so
again we revert to the subject. Our
farmers will aever know the value or
lack of value of their cows till they
take steps to find out for certainty
what each cow Is doing. A machine
for testing the milk of cows can be
purchased for about $500, and 1t will
be worth to any intelligent man
great many five-dollar bills. The pos
session of a milk tester Goes not
mean that a farmer must keep up
the work of testing his cows for the
rest of his natural life. He has only
to test them enough to come to GER
tain conclusions in his own mind as
to their value for milk and butter pro-
duction. Some of our experimenters
do not test their cows the year
around. They test them for enough
weeks to be able to fix en- the rich
ness of the milk and then the weigh
ing of the milk will do the rest.
American farmers need to begin a
steady process of getting rid Of their
poor cows. Test the cows and dis
pose of the poorest one. That will
not make much of a hole in the herd.
Then buy or raise new COW to take
her place. Next year repeat the oper-
alton, disposing Of the poorest and
putting a new COW in her place. In
this way in the course of ten years
we would have a very different COW
population from that we have at the
present time. Ely all means invest
small sum of money In milk testing
machine and learn how to use it.

Locating the Pasture Well.

In many parts of the country the
practice is followed of placing a wind
mill in the pasture and locating there
a we'll from which water may be
drawn for the farm stock. This is not
only advisable, but necessary in a
good many cases. A man may thought
lessly locate his well in position in
the pasture where it would be very
unserviceable in wet weather. In
passing pasture where windmill
was located on the top of the highest
knoll, man remarked on the seeming
absurdity of going to the top of the
highest place to sink well, when 1t
would have been nearer to water in
some other part of the pasture. An
other man remarked that this was
done so that the cattle could have a
dry place to stand in wet weather.
In case of any other location the
ground would soon be pounded into a
quagmire and the animals would find
difficulty in getting to their drinking
place, and the man that has the start
ing and stopping of the windmill
would also find it difficult to set about
Even in the care of the windmill and
we'll on the top of the knoll mentioned
the owner had made some efforts at
paving it by throwing in pieces of
broken tile.
