arises just as the crisp air of the
morning is mellowed by the first
sunbeam. An ordinary wash
tub is then filed with hot water
and soap suds, into which vari-
Gus articles of linen are thrown.
After they are thoroughly satur-
ated the patient takes them up
one at a time and rubs them
briskly up and down on the
dashboard placed in the tub.
This is kept up until the hands,
arms and face are glowing pink.
The patient then goes into the
open air and hangs all the linen
articles on a line stretched for
that purpose. The one complet-

Especial to The Gate City.]
WATERLOO. Iowa, April 3.-Who
owns the best dairy COW in Iowa?
That's what Iowa and the world
would like to know.
Not who has the best show COW
Not who has the best Holstein, or
Guernsey, or Jersey, or Ayrshire or
Brown Swiss, or Shorthorn, or grade
But who owns the Iowa dairy COW
that will produce the most butter-fat
in years milking test?
w. W. Marsh, of the Iowa Dairy
Separator Company, an enthusiastic
dairyman, is helping us to get an an
swer to the question by contributing
81 900 to be distributed as cash orlzes
to the owners of the best dairy COWS
in Iowa. And by dairy COWS is mean
COWS that will produce the most but
ter-fat, irrespective of breed.

composed of Prof. G. F. Curtiss, Prof.
G.. l.. Mckay and E. r. Shoemaker
Any farmer in the state may enter
one or more COWS in this contest, and
absolutely the only expense to him
will be the cost of meeting a repre-
sentative of the Iowa State College at
his railroad station once month,
taking him to his farm, keeping him
there for SO hours and returning him
to the railroad station Besides this,
of course, there will need to De a few
dollars outlay in the purchase of a
pair Of milk scales, milk bottles, etc
The representative Of the Iowa
Dairy school will go to the farm once
month, see the COW MIXED three
times in succession, make record OF
the weight of the second and third
milkings, take sample and test the
cows milk for butter-fat
The 81 900 cash prizes will probably
be divided as follows: For the COW

than $50 pounds Of hutter-fat per year
COWS in European countries and in
various parts of Iowa and other west
ern states are making 300 to 900 or
more pounds of butter-fat year.
In spite of the fact that the average
production of the Iowa COW is very
low there are on the farms of this
state COWS that are producing re.
markedly large amount of butter-fat,
of which people know little or moth
ing
And this contest is being establish
ed to find out how many such dairy
cows there are in Iowa, to locate them,
to reward the people who own them,
and make this, if possible, the first
really practical step towards stirring
up a vital interest in dairy cattle in
! Iowa
A meeting Of the committee to look
after the definite arrangements for
the contest will probably be held the
first week in April and as soon there
after as possible definite announce
ment will be made concerning this
contest.
! The details will not be irksome, the
expense is practically nothing, and
any farmer in Iowa who thinks he ha;
a good COW, no matter whether she
be grade or thoroughbred, should en-
ter her in this contest.
Pending the announcement of def
mite arrangements any inquiry con
corning this matter from intereste'
parties will be gladly answered by t

1t is lamentable fact that the farm
