a rsn.vEAR RECORD.
Valuable Points for the Dairy Farmer
Suggested BY Nebraska station.

In October. 1896. the dairy herd Of
the Nebraska experiment station was
established for the purpose Of supply
ing milk and cream to the class room
and also to furnish animals which
could be used in various practical ex-
periments. The herd was started with
ten animals and increased to ~. Dur
Ing the ten years. 100 comrI,te yearly
records were recorded. The breeds OF
the herd were principally Jerseys and
Holsteins. with some shorthorns and
a few grades of various breeds. All
records were carefully kept from day
to day during the ten years and all the
records were compiled. The 100 rec
ords show an average Of 6.513.2 pounds
Of milk, and 332.6s pounds Of butter
per COW per year. This average made
by number of different breeds cover
ing q period OF ten years gives a reli.
able basis for figuring.
The conclusions deducted from the
data are az follows:
| As q rule. short lactation periods
result In = high per cent, OF fat, while
long periods give 4 lower per cent
of fat.
Alarge now Of milk is generally as.
ISOLATED with low per cent. Of fat
while small dow gives higher test
1t was found. however, that the amount
Of butter fat did not vary as much as
the milk now or the per cent. Of fat.
In most cases heifers. with their
FIRST calf did not show as high . test
as they did at q more mature age.
The per cent. Of butter fat did not
seem to be changed by the food ration
given.
In order to know the value of a
dairy herd and It's members. 1t is
necessary to keep q milk and butter
fat record Of each COW from year to
year. Such record will show varia-
ton in the value Of the animals and
will serve as . guide in building up
the herd.
The cows varied from year to year
in their butter fat production. The
good cows were inclined to give large
yields year after year. while the poor
ones were In nearly all cases low.
1t was found that, a. a rule. the
variation in milk flow in individual
cows from year to year was due to
length of lactation and rest before
freshening. A long lactation period
/, favors a larger milk production: also.
= long period Of rest before freshening
brings the same result.
/. The year, 1905 and 1905 were used
to found the data Of this experiment,
and special care was taken to record

Neither Cook nor Peary was the

This is the surprising theory upheld
by Robert NJ. La Toilette, senator from
Wisconsin. Here is the editorial opin-
ion advanced by La Follette's maya
zine, of which he is editor:
1.-The real facts about the discovery
of the pole are sure to come out. There
can be no harm, therefore, in our
stating them now. Far be it from us
to cast an additional fly into the dubi-
Gus pot of arctic ointment. and it is in
no spirit of captiousness that we sug-
gest that as a matter of hard prehis-
toric fact, the pole was very well
known and frequently visited in the
remote, un-Cooked, non- Pearyized
ages of the past.
1.-THE earth, we beg to remind the
public, is merely a lump of matter.

Life first appeared at the pole, for the
simple reason that everywhere else it
was scalded or frixzled on sight When
man appeared he sweltered at the pole,
that being the only place where he
could live, even by sweltering. AS So
ciety developed, it's center was natur-
ally nearest the pole, where it was
cool.

a summer resort. 1t was a duclxing

that and within a million years or so
of this present year must have been a
good agricultural and numbering re-
gion.
There would really seem to be no
reason for heaFt-burnings, in addition
to the inevitable chillblains incident to
the matter, over who in this age first
revisited this ancient haunt of our
forefathers-what we may call our old

Miss Genevieve Ahalt. a teacher in
Longfellow school in Modern Ad-
dition. was seriously injured and mar
rowly escaped death in a runaway ac-
cdent at the school building when a
horse belonging to Miss Scott. another
teacher. started to run away, threw
Miss Ahalt from the buggy and after
stopping few yards away started to
back onto the injured teacher. At
the same time, a team coming along
the road became frightened and Miss
Ahalt only escaped from the wheels
of both vehicles by eXerting every bit
Of strength left, rising to her feet and
running to the side Of the road where
she fell again. Miss Ahalt's home is
at Palmyra. Mo. She has been in
North Yakima since the opening az
the school term.
The two teachers were preparing to
leave the school grounds on North
Sixth avenue for Columbia school, to
attend teache~s' meeting, when the
accident happened The janitor Of
the building had hitched up Miss
SCOTS horse and brought it to where
they were standing, leaving the lines
lose over the dash board.
AS Miss Ahalt was stepping into
the buggy, the horse became frighten-
ed by the tapping of some clothes on
line in a neighboring yard. He
gave a forward jump, throwing the
teacher across the body of the buggy.
Another jump and a twist of the rig,
caused her to be thrown from the rig
to the ground, and it is believed bv
those who saw the accident that the
rear wheel passed over her body.
The horse was not badly frightened
and did not go far, but started to kick
and back instead. Miss Ahalt realiz-
ed her danger and tried to crawl away
from the wheels, when she saw a team
coming down the road at great speed
Although the driver was attempting
to stop the horses, she realized that
if she remained in the road. she would
be run over, and summoning all her
strength, she rose. ran TO the side Of
