Cow-Testing Association.


While the ladies were still gather
ed around the three hills of golden
butter, about twenty of the men
present drew off into an. alcove at the
north end of the chapel, to discuss
the advisability of forming a cow
testing association, to have their
cows scientifically inspected, and the
cost of their keep carefully ascertain
ed, to see whether the farmer is get
ting profit from each of the cows
he keeps.
Vance C. Mccormick, saying that
he believed some farmers were mere
ly boarding a lot of cows from which
they got no profit at all, submitted
little calculation of the profit from
three cows giving the same quantity
of milk but of very different quality,
1t cost $40 piece a year to feed
these cows. Each produced $500
quarts of milk. One cows milk con-
tanned three per cent, or 165 pounds
of butter fat worth, at twenty-five
cents pound, $41.25 or $1.25 more
than the cost of her feed. No. 2
produced the same quantity of milk
with four per cent. or 220 pounds
of butter fat worth, at twenty-five
cents pound, $55. No. 3 produced
the same quantity of milk with five
! per cent. or 275 pounds of butter

Great Fruit Exposition.

mitted.
Great Fruit Exposition.
Horticultural associations, boards of
county commissioners and growers IN
all parts of the western country are
cooperating with the management of
the National Apple show, headed this
year by Howard Elliott, president of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
in an effort to make the two shows the
best of their kind in the history of
fruit expositions. They realize the
fact that the exhibitions are not money
making enterprises, but are educational
in character and designed to be of bene-
fit to the northwest and to the country
as a whole.
Northwest Is Proud.
Naturally, the orchardists and farm
ers in the northwest are proud of what
they have accomplished upon the for
mer sage-brush wastes and in the foot
hills and the valleys, where only few
years ago coyotes and other wild things
were the sole inhabitants. They have
been actively identified with the set
Element, growth and development of
many agricultural districts, especially
that vast expanse west of the Rocky
mountains, where irrigation and other
modern methods of tillage have worked
such remarkable transformations.
Three and One-half Acres of Show.
AS a forerunner of the Chicago ex-
position is the Spokane show, where
100000 apples of standard varieties
and sizes, the flower of the commercial
orchards of America, will be displayed.
The area required to house the exhibits
equals three and half acres of floor
space. The various contests, ranging
from a full carload of 210 barrels or
$50 boxes to single plates of five apples,
are free and open to the world.
Largest Display of Apples.
R. H. Rice, secretary and manager
of the show, announces there will be
more than 1,400 entries, including 20 in
the carload classes, thus making it the
largest display of apples ever gathered
together for exhibition purposes in the
history of the world. In addition there
will be demonstrations of orchard ma
chinery, concerts by two bands and
high-cl amusement features.

Springfield, Mo.-Stanley Ketchel
who won the middleweight champion
ship of the world, and has been the

morning.
Ketchel was Shot by Walter A. Hurtz
farm hand employed on the ranch
who escaped to the woods. AS far as
can be learned the assault on the cham

threats of lynching Hurtz, for whom a
search has been started by a heavy
armed posse of Webster county officials
and citizens.
Investigation of Hurtz' belongings
led officers to believe his real name is
Walter Dipley and that he is from
