THIS COW GIVES
Ten GALLONS OF
MILK PER DAY

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
DAYTON, March 22.-Ten gal
Ions of milk every twenty-four
hours is the record made by a g.
year-old Shorthorn COW, owned
by A. L. McCauley, of Dayton.
The animal promises to become a
world-beater. This cow has SUBJ
sited thus far this spring on hay,
and only yesterday did the owner
commence feeding his pet mill
feed. Mr.. McCauley says that by
the first of April the COW will
have made a record of twelve gal
Ions daily.
To test the buter-producing
qualities of her milk, Mr.. McCau-
ley yesterday made five pounds Of
butter from the cream of a days
milking. The owner sold $3.50
worth of milk last year, and this
amount he says will be increased
$50 this year. Mr.. McCauley
refused an offer of $3.50 for the
COW yesterday.
Three times each day the COW
is MIXED. The first milking in
the morning is four gallons, at
noon two and half and at night
three and a half.

If the signs hold good, 1909 will be a
year of moderate fire loss in the United
States and Canada, So far this year
there has not been a month with the
exception of January when the total has
reached S20,O00,0oo In that month it
was So, 135. 900. which was nearly ST.
100000 below the loss for the opening
month of 1908, and more than $1,000
600 below the January loss of 1907.
The July fire loss this year was S15,-
$4,000, compared with $15.323.7 $50 in
July, 1908, and S1S,24o, $50 in July,
1907. The totals for the first seven
months have been as follows in this
year and the two years last past: 1909,
I$119,635, 100; 1908, $40, 500, 800; 1907,
$135, T1T $50. 1t is an encouraging
Showing-for America. In Europe, how
ever, it would be looked upon with dis

largest fire of last month occurred in
Milwaukee and the largest in Cobalt,
Ontario. The Cobalt fire was a big
blaze for small place. destroying prop
erty to the value of S3T5,o00. The Mil
waukee blaze destroyed n box factory
and involved loss of $4,000. There
is a growing use of fireproof building
materials and growing preference for
slow burning construction in the United
States. This is Ito the good" so far as
large losses by fire are concerned On
the other haudH the increased employ
ment Of electricity for light and power
together with the proverbial carelessness
of Americans, makes the menace of fires
greater than it should he in an enlight-

league in the various states, recently

the colored population of cities, and
league to fight the plague by teaching
sanitary methods of living would surely
achieve good results, not only in the re-
duction of the death rate from tubercu-
loss among the colored people, but also
in the improvement in the general condi-

The undertaking by the United States
government to segregate the lepers of
the Philippine islands has so far result
ed in the discovery of 2900 of these I'M
fortunates. 1t is supposed that in To-
calities not yet visited there may be
600 more. Many were hidden in jun
giles and surrounded by conditions of the
direst misery. Their new surroundings
will be comfortable, and they will have
medical attendance. Fully 900 houses
in the cholera infested districts about
Manila have been destroyed for sanitary
reasons. Besides being breeding places
of disease, they were much used as re-
treats for criminals. Gradually reforms
are being enforced in the capital of the
Philippines which will rob the place of
it's menaces to the health of visitors.
The standard of health and order
throughout the islands will be raised by
the work of the Provincial Health
Board. whose orders, when disputed by
the Filipinos, are invariably upheld by
the courts.

Although the battleships Alabama,
Maine, Kentucky and Kearsarge are
comparatively new additions to the navy,
they are all going out of commission for
heavy repairs, which in the case of the
Maine in particular will amount almost
to reconstruction. In addition to work
on her hull, the Maine will have to re-
ceive a new battery of boilers. The rap
idity with which battleships become
worn and obsolete is surprising to those
who have been imagining that navies
built of steel are good for many decades
of service with little expense for repairs.
The truth is that these big ships must
be undergoing protective 'tinkering' all
