FREEPoRT, ILL.,, April 1s.-A
suit containing the claims Of nearly
200 San Francisco policyholders of
the German Insurance Company has
been filed in the circuit court.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-03-27

certain that every female dropped will
not only prove valuable in the dairy,
but that she will also prove valuable
as producer of pure-bred dairy stock
of both sexes For, aside from the
milk product, there are two other
sources of income in the pure-bred
Holstein- -Friesian dairy,-one from
the bull calves, the other from the sur
plus female stock There is a con-
slant demand for good pure-bred Hol-
stein-Friesian bulls for the improve
ment of the common dairy herds of
the country by grading, and for the
further Improvement of grade herds
by higher grading; while anything es-
pecially good is sought by the breed
ers of pure-bred stock. The less val
liable surplus females find welcome
place with the farmer-d -dairyman, the
more valuable.
In a limited article of this kind, it
is only possible to touch upon the
more salient points Of the Holstein-
Friesian breed, and [ would refer in
terested readers to the Holstein-Fri-
esian Brown Book, sent free by Ses-
retary F. L. Houghton, for more de-
tailed information; but from my own
individual experience with this grand
dairy breed, extending over period
of more than twenty years during
which time I have been a breeder Of
these cattle, I can affirm that, either as
an all-round dairy breed or for any
speciality in dairying, when the re-
turns from all sources are counted l
know of no breed superior to the Hol-
stein-F Friesian; while for veal and the
supplying of good, healthy, nutritious
milk to cities and villages, there is no
breed that can approach it.

The Holstein Friesian Breed of Cattle,
By Malcolm H Gardner.

By Malcolm H Gardner.
Owners and breeders of Holstein-
Fr1esian cattle base their claims for
the superiority of this breed over all
other dairy breeds mainly on the fol-
lowing points: First, that the Hol-
stein-Friesian is large, strong, Wig
orous COW, full of energy and abound
ing in vitality; second, that her ply
sical organization and digestive capac-
ity is such that she is able to turn to
the best advantage the roughage of
the farm, converting the same into
merchantable products; third, that she
yields large quantities of most excel
lent milk, fit for any and all uses and
especially we'll fitted for shipping pur-
poses; fourth, that heredity is so firm
ly established through her long line
age that she is able to perpetuate her
self through the production of strong,
healthy calves; and fifth, that when for
any reason her usefulness in the dairy
is at an end, she fattens readily and
makes excellent beef.
While men usually engage in the
dairy industry for the profits direct
ly and indirectly to be obtained, and
not for the health's sake Or for the
pleasure therein, yet the esthetic side
of any business should not be lost
sight of; for in the breeding of Hol-
steinFriesians aid Of these obpjects
may be attained, the owner deriving
such pleasure and satisfaction from
the ownership of fine animals as can
in no way be measured in money
Owing to her large frame, her vigor
and digestive powers, the Holstein-
Friesian COW is unequalled in the abil-
ity to convert farm roughage in to
money value; and she belongs to that
class of large cows which the Wis
consin Experiment Station found, aft
er years of experience, to be the most
profitable for the dairy farmer. She
is Of hardy constitution, not readily
susceptible to tuberculosis and other
bovine diseases, and will thrive under
adverse circumstances to which a
smaller, weaker breed would succumb.
Her calves come strong and vigorous
at birth, often weighing in excess of
100 lbs; and, owing to the milk being
especially fitted for making the best
animal growth, make the best and
most profitable veal. 1t is the special
function of the Holstein-Friesian to
produce milk and while in milk she
cannot be readily fattened as she de-
votes all her surplus food to profita-
bic milk production; yet when dry her
great assimilative powers are still
available, and enable her to take on
flesh rapidly, and so make excellent
beef
The time is fast approaching when
the farmer cannot afford to keep a
COW mainly for the calf which she
produces; as in such case the handicap
against beef production is too great.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-03-27

When a calf takes practically all the
milk it's dam yields, it starts out in life
with mortgage upon it to the value
Of the cost of keep of it's dam for one
year; and this debt, as we'll as the
cost of raising, must be repaid out
Of the selling price before there can be
any true profit in the beef If the
owner of such cows plan to milk
them, run the milk through a sepa-
rator, sell the butter-fat to creamery
and feed the skim milk to the calves,
he introduces the labor factor and
finds himself full fedged farmer
dairyman, with all the labor incident
to dairying, and cows that will hardly
yield enough to pay for the extra
work. Over and above all labor and
the cost Of keep, the average Holstein-
Friesian COW will show a nice profit
on the butter-fat she produces; while
the skim milk will not only rear her
own calf, but a couple OF Filters of pigs
besides.
An ideal beef form has been created
in the mind of the public, and false
prejudice engendered against anything
that does not agree in form with that
ideal. At present this unjust preju-
dice initiates against the dairy bred
steer on the hoof, even though he be
as we'll reared as the beef steer; al
though when it comes to the fnal
show down at the block, the differ
ence between the two is not great
Rear a Holstein-F Friesian steer as q
Shorthorn is reared, and he will in
deed be an expert judge who can dis
tinguish the beef when it is placed be-
fore him at the table; while repeated
tests at the block have proved thai
the percentage Of choice cuts is near
ly as large in the one case as in the
other AS an al1-around breed, anc
the one approaching the nearest to
the long-desired dual purpose animal
the Holstein-Friesian is unsurpassed.
Aside from the esthetic point o1
view-the personal satisfaction one
gets out of the possession of fine
stock, there is decided financial ad-
vantage in the breeding of pure-brec
Ho1stein-Friesian stock 1t costs lit
tie more to keek than does common
or grade stock, and the returns on the
labor invested and the food cOnsumec
are so much greater in proportion
that there is no comparison. By the
use of good, pure-bred Holstein-Frl-
esian bull, and the rearing Of his he1t-
er calves from the common or grade
COWS, one may be reasonably sure that
the calves so reared will SO far stlrpass
their dams in productive capacity thai
the excess will many trmes re1mbust
their owner for the cost of their sire
to say nothing of the increased selling
value of the COWS. themselves; but
by the use of pure-bred Holstein-Frl.
esian dams also, the danger Of failure
in producing fine dairy animal al
most vanishes, and one may be nearly

n,oh Priced sumbl.bsss.

Many years ago the farmers OF
Australia imported bumblebeesfrom
England and set them free in their
clover fields. Before the arrival OF
the bees clover did not flourish in
Australia, but after their coming
the farmers had no. more difficulty
on that score. Mr.. Darwin had
shown that bumblebees were the
only insects fond of clover nectar
which possessed a proboscis sufi.
ciently long to reach the bottom OF
the long, tubelike flowers and at
the same time a body heavy enough
to bend down the clover head so
that the pollen would fall on the in
sect's back and thus be carried of
to fertilize other flowers of the
same species. The bumblebees sent
to Australia cost the farmers there
about half dollar apiece, but they
proved to be worth the price.

No one Knows exactly when or
where the original coin was

Certain passages in Homer would
lead to the inference that brass was
coined as early as the year 1854
B. C. Tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins as early
as the year 1920 B. c., but Herodo-
tus, the acknowledged "father OF
history" is of the opinion that the
Lydians "invented" coins some time
during the ninth century B. c. One

IMPROVING THE ATTIC.
Suggestions That Will Help In Making
it hahitable.

In addition to those familiar uses
of attics which are so vivid when it
rains or when one is cynical or
moody or incline to be witty at the
expense of bedposts and warming
pans, there are improved uses an at
tic can be put to and still remain an
attic. The feeling of attics-that
sense they give of friendly aliena-
ton from the world below stairs
must not, of course, be lost. If one
desires no more than place in
which to tell fairy tales at twilight
the lighting of a candle might
be change enough in the usual un-
plastered and left over space. But
that is too simple. Besides, the
taste for fairy tales is not universal,
and it is, moreover, a taste more
natural in the nursery than in the
attic. But habitable attic must
be anything but dingy. A glass
trapdoor, sucl as one too often sees,
is not enough. There should be a
great dorner window, built low
enough for window seats, and ample
seats at that, large enough to
lounge in. There should be wide
sills, too, for flowers, for an attic
without flowers would be unimagina-
BILE. As for the body of the room
the chief thing to do where there
are gables would be to insert a
wainscot all around of, say, five or
six feet in height. Along this could
be put shelves for books or odds
and ends of whatever kind. A car
pet would be improper, for it is ira
ditional that an attic is bare. In
expensive rugs and skins suggest
themselves mechanically, like easy
chairs, a work table and lounge.
The fancy includes piano, pic
lures, glorious andirons, eonces,
while the imagination leaps to ar
NOR and cabinets. Yet in proper
attic the furniture should be little
commonplace with a discarded look,
if you will, to be in keeping. Things
half broken down are fit for a
quaint utility there, and as clothes
once decent on Sunday come to be
so only on Saturday and then on
Friday, and so on, so odds and ends
as they grow familiar and worn in
other parts of the house have a last
