for Campbellsville by the score
of IA to 9. So the third and de.
Gliding game was played at Smith

victory of the year, defeating the

whelming score Of % to 0. AL.
though it was very one sided, il
was real interesting up until the
fifth inning, at which time the
score stood 6 to O. After the 9Th
inning the C. V. H. S boys began
to knock the ball all over the lot.
The Campbellsville boys used
four pitchers in their efforts to
stop the slaughter, but all in vain.

WHAT ,s Youa COW WORTH,
Take Time 10 Figure Out Her vs.us
to You.

We wish we could get every farmer
and every farmers son to take a day
off and figure out what his COW Is
worth. That, of course, depends on
what you have in view In Keeping
her. what work you expect her to do.
II you are milking her and she gives
140 pounds or less OF butter fat, 1t is
very easy to determine what she Is
worth for that purpose. On lands In
the corn belt 1t will cost from S2S TO
s35 to keep a COW during the year. III
she does not give more than that value
in butter fat, then for daily purposes
she is not worth nickel. we give
the cost as above. because we notice
that in the COW censuses that have
been taken that is the estimated price
given by their keepers.
A COW not worth a rickel for dairy
purposes had best be allowed to raise
her calf; and then the question is
whether that calf at weaving time Will
be worth $50. Ordinarily 1t will be
worth from $40 to SIS. Therefore the
question whether 1t pays to keep an
average COW for the chance of an
average calf on lands in the corn belt
is easily determined.
Suppose, however, she gives 200
pounds of butter fat and 1t is worth
cne year with another 20 cents a
pound. Then your COW is making you
a profit in butter fat of about ten
dollars year and giving you calf,
! which, after deducting the cost OF
feeding 1t until it is six months old,
is worth $40 to s12. Then you have
the skimmilk, say 1000 pounds, worth
from Is to 20 cents per 100 pounds, de-
pending on the price OF corn, or from
six to ten dollars. You will have the
manure. which If properly cared for Is
worth six dollars year. II your COW
gives a still larger amount of butter
fat than this you can very easily esti-
mate the profit.
What we are aiming at now, says
Wallace's Farmer, is to get farmers
| to- thinking about this question:
What is your COW worth? How are
you to find out? Why, there is only
one way; and that is to take time to
weigh the milk often enough to de-
| termine how much each COW gives
during the year, and then test 1t often
enough to deterrline the actual amount
of butter fat each gives. II we can
only get you 10 do this the rest will
be easy, but until farmers who are
pretending to dairy at all take this
| matter up and determine what the cow
is worth it is useless to expect any
great improvement in the dairy busi-
ness.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1908-09-03

lures Of this character. Two otbsrs
dug holes In bales of cotton which
made up part of the cargo. and In
these strange cradles drifted to the
land.
Another disaster, we'll remembered
by New Workers, was the burning Of
the Seawanhaka of Wards island on
June 20, 1880. Forty were lost In this
disaster.
June appears to have been fruitful
month for steamboa, fires, for preced-
ing the burning of the Seawanhaka by
few days was the burning of the
Stonington steamboats, Narragansett
and Stonington. sister ships, after they
had been In collision in mid-sound
during dense fog on the night Of
June IL, 1880.
BY far the most terrible steamboat
disaster that ever occurred in New
York waters was that of the burning
of the General Slocum. OF the 5000
excursionists aboard most were wom-
en- and children. Only one other
steamboat disaster In the annals Of
American steam navigation surpassed
the horror. and that was when the
Mississippi river steamboat Sultana
burned In 1866, with loss Of 1900
| lives.

SojIjnd Cows,

This term is one not very widely un-
derstood. 1t refers to keeping the
cows on a small area and cutting and
bringing their food to them. instead
OF permitting them to run in the pas
ture. The advantage of this system
is that 1t gets the greatest possible
amount ot~feed from an acre OF land.
The cows do not have the chance to
trample out much of the herbage. Its
great disadvantage is that 1t is labor,
ious and the cost for help is great. In
this country It has not yet been ex
tensively practiced because land has
been cheap and labor high. In Europe
where land has been high in price and
labor low. the soiling system has been
extensively practiced. BY II the farm
er loses what is so important now In
this country, the saving of having his
grass crop harvested by the animals
themselves.
