RECORD RUN TO KANSAS CITY,
Wabash Train Makes Trip In Five
Hours and Fifty Minutes.

Wabash train No. 0, fast mail be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City,
made a recordbreaking run from st.
Louis to Kansas City Sunday after
noon.
The schedule time for starting 10
1920 D. m, and the regular time for
the run Is seven hours and ten min'
utes. No. 9 started one hour late.
lost twenty minutes on the way and
pulled into Kansas City on time, max
ing the run In five hours and fifty
minutes, five minutes faster than any
previous record.
There was a full equipment OF q
mail car, combination car, chair car
and diner. At many places along the
route the train showed a speed OF
seventy miles an hour. and between
Mexico and Montgomery City a mile
a minute was reeled off. The dis
lance is twenty-four miles, and II took
;ust twenty.four minutes to make the
trip.
The train was in charge OF Con-
duetor ]. 8. Gould. The engineer was
Charles Summerville.-St Louis Re

Good Udders.

Good udders are the exception
rather than the rule. There are -
good many cows that are kept for
both milk production and breeding
that have very badly shaped udders.
1t seems unfortunate that these char
acteristics must be transmitted from
generation to generation. The large
udder, we'll developed in each of the
four quarters, with the teats set on at
regular distances, is the kind of an
udder we want, so far as the shape
is concerned. The udder that puts
down four teats all in bunch should
not be perpetuated, but should be
eliminated as soon as possible by
sklllful selection for breeding pur-
poses. This kind of an udder is par
ticulGrly Objectionable if the teats are
irregular in shape.
Perhaps the udder that is most to
be guarded against is the one that
has about all of its development in
one or two quarters, generally the
fore ones, with the hindquarters
poorly developed and with the hind
teats pointing forward toward the for
ward teats.
Some farmers say they want an I'D
der that will milk down to a rag,
while others claim that the thick I'D
der indicates richer milk. The ex-
perience of the writer has seemed to
indicate that there is something in
this latter belief, and that cows CIV
ing rich milk have thick udders. This
may be due. and is due. doubtless to
the fuller development of the milk
glands, especially of those parts that
have to do with the formation Of but
ter-fat. At some Of our stations the
matter has been looked into, and sim
liar conclusions have been reached.
In the great stock markets where
dairy cows are bought and sold, we
see an infinite variety in the shape OF
udders, due to the varieties of condi-
lions under which such cows origin
ate. They have in them blood from
every known breed and from no
known breed, and this continuous
crossing has produced numberless
notifications in the udders. In the
established breeds Of cows we find
udders bad enough; but they have
probably greater regularity in forma-
ton than the others.
We must, in fact, look to the estab.
lished dairy breeds for an improve
ment in the shapes and substances Of
the udders. 1t would be interesting
to know the general facts about the
udders of cows for a number Of gen
eratlons, just as we find 1t advisable
to keep records of their capacity to
produce milk and butter fat. A rec
ord of the udders Of cows might be a
new thing in dairy science, but 1t
would most certainly be the basis for
very interesting study. Such com
pilation would show us that certain
strains Of our cows are responsible
for the poor udders and such strains
could be eliminated from the breeding
operations.
In the investigation, however, OF the
udders we take into consideration
milk veins and milk wells, as being
parts Of the udder.
One man has said that after genera.
tons of study on the matter, the in
side of the udder of COW Is the dark
est place on earth. This should not
discourage the study of the udder;
but 1t should remind us that we have
In the udder an object Of study that
requires the use Of all the knowledge
that science can bring to our aid

The most notable feature of the
trip il the magnificence of the train
on which the party is to make the
trip. This train is to exceed in
equipment the one on which the late
President Mckinley made his historic
trans-continental journey.
The train is to consist of Pullman
composite car, containing besides
state rooms, a Turkish bath room,
barber shop and several other COM
forts; two of the finest Pullman din
ing care; three cars containing nine
state rooms, two Pullmans with seven
state rooms: two drawing room cars
and an eight-sect;on observation car.
The cost of this extraordinary COL
lection of cars daily is to be fifty dol
lars for each car, the money going to
the Pullmans, and $1.50 for every
mile the train travels, this going to
the railroad company for handling
the cars. Meals are to cost one dol
lar each without extras, and sixty
eight persons eating three meals a
day means q cost of 1904 a day.
There are incidental expenses which
railroad men say are to am ount to
about thirty dollafs day.
The party is to leave New York
for Washington April 13. The train
reaches here the same evening. The
