Fond du Lac, Wis, Feb. 4.-That
removal of the vermiform appendix

was the contention of DR. r. +. May
ham, who died recently, though this
declaration was not made publicly dur
ing his life.
1t has been generally believed that

although he never made public his
opinion. He cOnfided to many Of his
patients that he would never perform
an operation to relieve a severe case
of appendicitis.

Wisconsin's Record COWS.

Phenomenal records for the pro-
duction Of milk and butter fat have
recenetly been made by Queen
Ormsby, a Holstein- Friesian heller
of Waukesha county, and Yeksa-
rose, a Mara thon County Guernsey
heifer. Tests for the past year
which were made by the University
Of Wisconsin Experiment Station
officers show that each of these
two COWS has given several times
the yield of butter fat of ordinary
COWS, and at least twice the amount
which progressive American dairy
men have adopted as the standard
for mature COWS in their herds
The announcement of such test
results has won Wisconsin dairy
men recognition throughout the
country for intelligent and pro-
gresslve methods of breeding and
feeding dairy COWS
Queen Ormsby, a HOlstein- Fries
ian heifer, owned by Reddelien
Bros, of Northlake, Wis, gave the
remarka BILE yield of 1913 pounds
of milk. and 534 0S pounds of but
ter fat equal to over $50 pounds of
commercial butter. This was an
average of 4. AZ per cent Of butter
fat in the milk, an excellent con-
tent, as the milk of many Holsteins,
especially that Of heavy mixers,
contains at times less than 3 per
cent butter fat. On no test in the
year was her percentage less than
Ais. Her highest record for any
one month was that of December,
when she gave nearly 1000 pounds
of milk, with 66034 pounds of but
ter fat, percentage of 4 81. Dur
ing the first eight months her milk
yield never fell below /, 1873 pounds,
and the average for that period was
1914 pounds per month. She
was but three years and three
months old when the tests began,
and had just had her first calf.
The little heifer comes honestly
by her merits. as both her dam and
her grand-dam were famous for
the high average fat content of

Before the uproar subsidized the

The students drove to Kaukauna for

QUAKE SCARE AT OSHKOSH
Residents Living Near Lake Winnie
bago Experience Shocks.
Instead of Being Earthquakes 1t Is
Now Thought the TremOrs Were
Caused by Ice FIOes in
the Lake.

Oshkosh, Wis, Feb. 4.-For several
days residents of this city living near
Lake Winnebago have been expert
encing shocks not unlike those of an
earthquake. Houses have been shaken
until windows ratified, dishes have
tumbled from shelves and in several
places wood piles fell over.
At first there were wild stories of
a quake, but the most natural theory
of the phenomena is that huge cracks
have opened up in the ice in the lake
The lake is thirty miles long and
twelve miles wide and the ice is about
thirty inches thick. The movement of
the foes have caused the jarring Of
the earth i'll the vicinity Of the lake.
For time there were wild stories
that possibly the shaking was caused
by a volcano at the bottom CT the
lake.

their milk. Her dam, Duchess
Ormsby 2nd's Queen, holds the
record for the highest average test
for a COW on a sixty-day official tes5,
with 4 % per cent of butter fat,
a production of 129 566 pounds C
butter fat in the sixty days. Her
grand dam, Duchess Ormsby, be-
came famous eight years ago fcr
her yield Of over 10 pounds O.
butter fat in seven days, with near
ly 8 per cent of fat in the milk soor
after calving.
A number of Rolstein breeders il
Wisconsin have been breeding
with the specific point in view OF
producing large quantities Of milk
of high fat content. It would ap~
pear from the records made by
Queen Ormsby and other cows thak
have been tested recently, that it is
entirely feasible, by the following
careful and intelligent methods Of
feeding and breeding, to combine 3
large production of milk with
high percentane of fat content.
HIGHEST RECORD.
The highest authenticated record
for years production of butter
fat by heifer is that of Yeksarose.
a Guernsey heifer from the same
herd in Marathon county as Yeks8
Sun peam, the famous cow that last
year had semi-official worlds re
cord of 1000 pounds of commercial
butter. The tests for YeksarOse
show a production of 11,275.f
pounds of milk and an average fat
contest Of 5,66 per cent, or 638. 49
pounds, equal to 745 pounds OF
commercial butter. She was but
two years six months old at the be-
ginning of the test. That her
phenomenal production had no de-
tr1mental effect upou her is attested
by the fact that she is now safely IL
calf, is in fine condition, and gained
200 pounds in weight during the
year. The American Guernsey
Cattle Club co-operated with the
University of Wisconsin Expert
ment Station in this yearly test
and national interest among breed
ers and da1rymen has been aroused
by the results.
