GENIE CLoTHILDE, HoLSTEIN-FRIESIAN
December, 1907, the worlds best off,
cial record of all breeds for one days
butter production.
One day test, 95.1 pounds of milk,
4.943 pounds of fat and CLIO pounds
of butter; seven day test, 1894 pounds
of milk, 24.337 pounds Of fat and
3O421 pounds of butter; thirty day
test, 2602.15 pounds of milk, 93.439
pounds of fat and 116,797 pounds OF
butter.
Cows Have OFF Years.
While records of dairy cows for a
full year are valuable, records for
series of years are still better. Dairy
cows have their off years, and this
must be considered when cows having
poor records are being dropped from
the herd. If this fact Is not borne In
mind there is danger of selling the
best cows. Attention is called to a
cow, Sweet Briar, of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station that produced for ten
years an average of 35S.07 pounds of
butter a year, while In 1893 she pro-
duced only 206.06 pounds of butter, in
1899 she made 306.53 pounds and In
1907 370.53 pounds.
II the merits of Sweet Briar had
been wholly based on the work she did
In 1898, she would possibly have been
dropped from the herd. The great value
of scales and the Babcock test lies In
their continued use In the dairy herd.
1t sometimes happens that promising
heifers do very poorly the first year.
In such cases the heifers individuality,
together with her breeding. should be
considered before disposing of her, and
records for series of years should be
the final test. 1t may be stated that
good COW seldom has two of years In
succession Clarence B. Lane.
The Labor involved.
The question will be raised at once as
to the immense amount of labor In
volved In keeping up records of this
character. OF course those used by the
experiment station are much more elab-
crate than would be needed on an ordi-
nary farm. In discussing experimental
results, however, the most careful and
accurate dealing with large number
OF individuals and covering long Pc
RODS Of time is absolutely necessary.
The labor Of maintaining accurate rec
ords of large number of animals Is
simply enormous and cannot be appre-
ciated except by those who have had
practical experience. An adding ma
chine of the type In use here will effect
saving In clerical labor that would
amount to great deal In the course of
year. The slide rule will also be
found wonderfully helpful In this re-
spect and 1t can fortunately be pur-
chased at reasonable price.-virginia

Although the Dill creatlhg Logan

work with will and determination
to undo the WORK already done
The Infamous omnibus division

ley press, was to be contested in
the courts. Some, If not all of Hal
ley's best legal talent entertained

bill by the Council was the act OF a

rant of law. Immediate proceed.
ings were instituted to annihilate
the two new counties--the officers Of
Alturas county refusing to recog
nize them even as de facto coun-
ties.
Having signed the bill for the
creation OF the new counties, with.
out any further delay Governor
Stevenson took steps for setting
the machinery of the new counties
into motion, and appointed set OF
officers for each. The following Of
fcers were appointed for Gilmore
county:
Commissioners, Major II. P.
Cavanah of Rocky Bar, D. B
Ethel of Pine Grove, and W. NJ.
Stockton Of Glenn's Ferry. Sher.

ditor and Recorder, John T. Gill
man, Rocky Bar; Assessor and
Collector, G. M. Payne, Mountain
Home; Probate Judge, Isaac Culp,
Rocky Bar; Treasurer, James H
Miller, Mountain Home; Superin.
tendent OF Schools, Bart Clinton,
Rocky Bar; Surveyor, e. G. Towne,
Rocky Bar; Coroner, D. Wright,
Rocky Bar; Dis riot Attorney,
Daniel B. Waldron, Rocky Bar.
Hardly had the commissions
been forwarded to the officers when
the first attack on the new county
of Gilmore was made by the serving
of an order of the district court
upon Commissioners Cavanah,
Ethel and Stockton. restraining
them from organizing as a board.
In about ten days after this the
order was vacated and the newly
appointed board met at Rocky Bar
and set the machinery of Gilmore
county into motion by qualifying
all the officers and contracting for
the necessary books and furniture
for the new county.
The following precinct officers
were appointed and their bonds
duly acted on: Justices Of the
Peace-Rocky Bar, George d.
Golden, N. B Rathbone; Atlanta,
J. B. Barnhart; Pine Grove, Thorn

tinues to say that Major Lacey's cam
paign literature refers to him as the
Republican Nominee for United States
Senator"
We challenge the News to produce
any such literature.
In all, that has been said by Major
Lacey or his friends he is referred
to as a Republican Candidate" not
nominee. His friends hope to make
him the nominee in November.
The News never criticised the pic

were so conspicuously displayed last

divide the party. His watchword is

LACEY AND KENDALL.

Editor Herald: While in Oskaloosf
| the other day | called on Major Lacey
and found him in his office, attending
20 his large correspondence and othel
legal matters. but he is never too busy
to make one feel warmly welcome
He informed me that he had received
one thousand letters from over the
vote in his race for senator, and al
dications point TO his election. MhIle
! am an ardent admirer of A. B. Cum
Minis. | am willing to admit that La
cey is a devout friend of the miners
and toiling masses in general, and il
the lac lawsuit in regard to the tax
alton of the VI. w. OF a. fund, which
suit he won for us, much credit is
due him, and take this opportunity
of thanking the Major for his gal
before mentioned and also in many
others if my time and space permit
ted.
In speaking about Mr.. Kendall, he
cited prophecy that lie made in 1855
in regard to Kendall While in con.
gress under Cleveland, Kendall wrote
to him for an appointment as postal
clerk and he answered thai there was
sixteen appointments to be made in
that department and that Cleveland
had put them under the civil service
rule, but thai he could control ten

he wanted il, but Mr. Lacey advised
him as here was only nine hundred
dollars in it to start on, and thirteen
hundred permanently, TO hold OF a
while. as he was sure that there was
something better in store for him
And Mr.. Lacey now feels that his
prophecy OF twenty years ago will
come TO pass this year when Kendall
will be elected TO congress by a sound
majority. | have always looked upon
Lacey as an intelligent man and have
recognized him as a prophet before
and will now believe him true one
for Kendall. who will be our next
representative from the Sixth dis
trict, and one. in congress his in
fuence will be known as it has been
in our Legislature, for upon roll call
he has never been known to shirk a
duty or neglect the best interests OF
his constituency.
1t is TO be hoped that in MIR. Lacey's
nomination all fnc.ional strife will
be eliminated and that every candi-
date will put forth his best efforts to
elect the whole ticket Nov. Bird.

Bosnia and Herzegovina which,

have been at last wrested by Austria
liza from any shadow of Turkish con
troll, virtually form ones province, TO
which the name Bosnia has been gen
orally given. The provinces formed
the northwesternmost portion of the

of Berlin. BY that treaty the Sd
preme control of Bosnia is nominally
in the hands of Turkey. but the gov
eminent is directed b the Bosnian
bureau under the direction of the
minister of finance of Australian
gary. The area of Bosnia, including
Herzegovina. is about 1900 square
miles. The country is exceedingly
mountainous. Nearly 80 per cent OF
the 1,74O,00O population live by agri-
culture. About one-third of the popu-

REGISTER OR NO VOTE.

Preparatory TO the presidential cleo
ton, on Nov. 3, a complete registra-
ton of the voters of the cities of the
country, including Oskaloosa. will be
made, from the fact that the law re-
quires a revised set of poll books once
in four years. Three days are given
voters to register, and for those who
are out of the city on each of these
three days. the opportunity TO regis
ter is extended on election day.
While it is as yet a little early to
begin asking yourself if you have reg
isistered, il will be well for voters
planning visits from the city, or those
intending to remove from one ward to
another, TO make plans that will not
conflict with their right to vote.
All male citizens of the United
States q years old or over are enti.
tied to vote, and citizenship require
ments, aside from age. are that vot-
err must be a resident of the state for
six months, OF the county sixty days,
and OF the precinct in which his vote
is cast for ten days. This latter re.
quirement may prove embarrassing to
people who contemplate changing
places of residence from one quarter
of the city TO another
The first day of registration will be
on Thursday, Oct. 20. The following
two days, Friday Oct. % and Satur-
day. Oct "a, will also be days of reg
istration. Then on Tuesday, Nov 3,
election day, the registration books
will be open only 10 those who We're
not in town on all of the other days
OF registration.
The one important thing TO remem-
Der is that every voter must be regis
tered anew, if he wishes TO cast his
vote for president OF the United States,
and the candidates OF state iand
county tickets.
