read of a wheat, raiser lately that
went into the bankrupt courts with
a statement that showed $4,000 OF
debts and 80 cents Of assets.
According to our exchanges, some
records have lately been broken that
should interest farmers. A 2-year-old
FLY at Cambridge city, Ind, has
paced a quarter mile in 271s seconds,
which is a 1850 gait. She is owned by
Mr.: john T. Mandove, and considering
her age and very limited training,
she seem a wonder and is said to be
ia beauty as well. Her breeding as
shown by her pedigree again proves
that 'iblood will tell"
Now comes the COW. Yeksa Sum-
beam, a ll-blood Guernsey, owned by
Mr.. Fred Rietbrock, Of Athens, Wis,
dn the year finished October 4, 1905,
gave 14,920.8 pounds of milk, which
tested out 857.14 pounds of butter fat
equal to- 1,012 pounds Of butter.
Blood tells again.
Aside from the wonder of one-half
ton of butter from one COW In one
year, (almost her own weight), there
are two points worthy of especial
note. One Is the great quantity and
variety Of feed which she consumed,
alfalfa hay shipped from Colorado
among the rest of. the many choice
feeds which tempted her. appetite in
addition to the best of clover pasture.
Another thing to note Is that her
June record, which naturally shoetbd
have been the largest of any month
in the year, was really the smallest,
and solely because her regular milk
err and feeder, Mr.. P. J. Deissen, was
accidentally drowned during THAT
month. Changing mixers was ap-
parently what caused the shortage,
and thereby decreased the total yield
to some extent.
The largest yield of milk in any
one day Was fifty-two pounds ON Aug.
10. and ON Oct. 4, the last day Of her
test. she gave forty-one and eight
tenths pounds of SGT per cent milk.
Now II any one doubts or disputes
these: figures, they dispute the rec
ords OF the Wisconsin agricultural
college, which supervised the test
from start to finish. -,
A year or two ago this COW was
bought from the herd of a milk man
near Minneapolis, where she was con-
sddered a pretty good cow. Feed tells
as well as breed.
In some parts of Switzerland it has
oeen the custom to present bride on
her wedding day with a specially
made cheese, not as a part of the
wedding feast, but to be kept as a
relic and a sort of family record ON
which TO record the birthdays OF any
OF the. fruits of the wedding. An
American traveller lately reports find
ing one there with authentic date
marks showing that it was made In
1860 and had been carefully kept In
the same family ever since, and he
says 1t was "a good cheese yet"
Now just suppose that North Da-
kota dairyman who now ships his
cream on Monday, gets his check on
Tuesday and spends 1t on Wednes-
day, was informed that he must wait
SO years before he got anything out
OF his cow product, what would he
do? Why ship to some other firm, OF
course. No cheese in ours; thank
you.
Breed feedan'd weed' (that is, Gull
out the poor milkers), would be q
very good motto for all dAdrymen In
Dakota or elsewhere.
