NEWS FROM MISSOURI
A Valuable Missouri Cow.

A Holstein COW owned by the dairy
department Of the University Of Mis-
souri, in one year produced more hui
man food in her milk than is contain.
ed in the complete carcasses of four
steers weighing 1850 pounds each.
This statement, impossible as 1t
seems, is not only true, but does not
even do full justice to the COW. The
solids in the milk which are complete
ly digested and used by the body are
counted against the entire carcass Of
the steer which is only in part edible.
The COW that performed this feat of
producing the equivalent of four
steers is Princess Carlotta. In the
year she produced 1906 pounds of
milk. These figures show the remark
able efficiency of the COW as a pro-
Queer Of human food. 1t is because Of
this economical use of food that the
dairy COW and not the steer is kept on
high priced lands When land is cheap
and feed abundant the meat producing
animals predominant, but when the
land becomes high in value and feed
expensive the farmer turns to the
dairy COW.

westinghouse clash occurred be-
tween Senator Nelson, chairman of
the Ballinger-Pinchot committee, and
Attorney Pepper, counsel for Clifford
Pinchot, when Mr.. Nelson accused the
lawyer Of "trifiing" with the COM
mittee.
White with anger, Mr.. Pepper de-
manded to know If that was the judg
ment Of the committee, and when sew
eral members exclaimed, Let 1t pass"
he said reflection which he resented
had been cast upon him and he ques-
toned the senator's right to make
such an accusation.
Mr.. Pepper was referring to sew
eral letters in the record in an en-
deavor to have Chief Engineer Davis
of the reclamation service, who was
on the stand, refute several state
ments attributed to Secretary Balm
ger, to the effect that the reservations
of certain lands in the west to public
entry, after they had been withdrawn
under Secretary Garfield, had been
made on recommendation of the re-
clamation service.
Nelson Makes Objection.
Chairman Nelson thought it was a
waste of time to go over ground al
ready covered, and objected to the
reading of the letters. In each in.
stance in which the question was put,
the witness replied that Mr.. Ballinger
had made a misstatement.
Mr.. Davis fatty contradicted Secre-
tary Ballinger in several statements
and said the two did not agree on
many reclamation matters, although
both had been, and he hoped still
were, good friends.
The so-called black tent" affair fig
ured conspicuously in Mr.. Davis, tes-
timony. He said that E. T. Perkins,

vertise reclamation work under orders

Of the service were subsequently in
formed, he said, that Perkins was
getting an allowance of $500 a month

addition to his $4,000 salary.
Mr.. Davis said Perkins proved his
fidelity to the Hartman lines by ship

Chicago to Mesa, Ariz., where the re.
clamation service has been engaged in

pected that Director Newell of the re-

TINY BABY's PITlFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops Of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
