must come from the farm. The but
ter, the eggs, the bread and the meats
must be raised by the farmer.
Farming can be divided into many
departments. There is the dairy farm
er, the livestock breeder, the fruit
grower, the gardener. the corn grower,
the wheat grower, the poultry grower
and endless divisions of each general
division. The man who makes the
biggest success in any line is the man
who studies most and understands
best the line he chooses.
In this article we are going to show
some of the advantages of the dairy
farmer. Do not think there are no
unpleasant features about this business
because every profession, trade or
business has some disagreeable fea-
lures. The man who is looking only
for fun and is afraid of trouble should
60 out to the end of the pier and
throw himself in the bay saying to
himself "here goes nothing" for
nothing worth living would be lost in
his taking off. The man who is afraid
to meet the difficulties of life can not
make success OF anything and has a
lifetime of misery before him. Other
successful men will not stop to listen
to his tale of woe. They are too busy.
The daiIyman always has market.
Milk and butter are the staples of life.
They will always be demanded by the
People. The big pastures are being
cut up and dairying must be conduct
ed scientifically. The time has passed
when half dozen cows can be given
farm to run over. Land has become

leges and there is no doubt of their
correctness.

The jersey cow Jacoba Irene pro-
duced in one year II, 1922 pounds Of
milk which made 952.96 pounds of
butterfat This is the record for
Jersey COWS. The Jersey COW Double
Time produced 69l.30 pounds of
butterfat in one year. Loretta D.
produced 70 pounds of butterfat.
GUERNSEY RECORDS
The Guernsey heifer Dairymaid
produced in her heifer year 852.8
pounds of butterfat. Yeksa Sunbeam
produced 857. Is pounds of butterfat;
Lily Ella 1872. l6 pounds; Standard
Morning Glory. 714.01 pounds; Lilly
ita, 710. 53 pounds; Queen Deette, &c.,
80 pounds.
HOLSTEIN RECORDS
Following is a Holstein record, the
number of pounds of butterfat pro-
duced in one year being given: Col
antha's 4th Johanna. $685. IS pounds;
Johanna Bonheur, TAPS pounds;
Lady Ormsby, 651. 80 pounds; Johanna
Colantha, 638.O .O3 pounds; Johanna De
KolWit, 626. 15 pounds; Netherland
Johanna DeKol, $50. 46 pounds.
These records are given just to show
what can be done by dairymen who
study dairy COWS. No average farmer
can produce such records but by weigh
ing his milk and testing it he knows
which cows are paying ard which are
boarders. He can then begin to build
up herd first by selling for beef his
poor cows and breeding up the good
by a dairy sire. Then by proper feed
ing, care and attention to details
he will soon be making for himself a
competence.

too high in price and every acre must
produce more than scraggy crop of
poor pasture.
GOOD OR POOR COWS FOR THE
DAIRY.
The most successful dairymen in
the world are those who have small
holdings and make the best use OF
them. While it is a fact that the
average COW does not pay for her keep
and produces only about l5O pounds OF
butterfat per year, it is also a fact
that COWS are numerous that produce
300 pounds of butterfat and there are
many which produce 400 and 800
pounds of butterfat 1t costs little
more to feed the good cow than the
poor one. One is kept at loss while
the other makes her owner rich. Feed
costs vary greatly in different sections
of the United States, but it may be
said generally that it will cost about
$40 to keep a cow in the average dairy
each year. The COW averaging but $50
pounds of butterfat in year worth
about 30 cents pound is not paying
for her keep to say nothing of care
and money invested. A COW to really
pay anything on farm should pro-
duce nearly 300 pounds of butterfat
per year. COW at $50 pounds is max
ing some money for her owner but
why keep such COWS when better
COWS can be bred? To show what can
be expected of good COW we are go
ing to quote some official records just
to show what has been done. These
tests we're made by agricultural col

When the young man just out of
college is casting about for a profess
sion or business, the one important
thing for him to do is to select life
work at the outset. Young men and
their parents are very anxious that he
shall chose something which will make
him an honorable living. IL a young
man has pronounced lent for any
particular profession or trade by all
means let him select that profession
or trade. But the majority of young
men and women on leaving college
have no fixed idea of their life work.
They are drifting, and are just as
liable to select the wrong thing to do
as the right. After fooling away
several years on some unimportant
thing they become useless for any
other line than the one they stumbled
into. They are too old to change and
life is certain to become failure.
In selecting life work, three things
should be aimed at and the young
man should ask himself. first, is it
capable of making myself and family
an honest living? Second is there a
chance here for development or
growth? And third what is the pros
pect of success in this line? On cast
ing about among men we find the pro-
fessions overcrowded. In every town
we find more doctors, lawyers and
tradesmen rnan are making even a
comfortable living. TO meet these
men in competition the young man
must have superior qualifications and
wait long years to work up remuner-
ative practice. Every one of the pro-
fessions are thus crowded. Every one
of them have more men in them than
can find employment.
What about the farm? Here at last
is a science, for it is getting to be
science, where there is no overcrOwd-
ing. Here is loom for all the de-
velopment any bright young man
needs to become leader. Here close
to nature he can study all his life and
still lack knowledge of the essentials
of the growth and development of the
crops he sows and tends and harvests.
Not only has he a great subject be-
fore him but he has a business which
will remunerate him from the first.
He is not compelled to wait years for
returns from his labor. The world is
waiting for his products and is willing
to pay him for them. The cities are
growing much faster than the country
and the result is that farmers gro
ducts are more and more in demand.
The city must be fed and the feed

Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-03
THE CRISIS

m HE great issue of the times, the
'irrepressible conflict Is being
- clarified by the leaders who are
appearing to give 1t expression and
rally the foes against organized greed,
This succinct statement of the stu
alton reduced to its essence was made
by Theodore Roosevelt in his speech
at Osawatomie, the home of John
Brown-f1t place and occasion for a
rallying cry against those who by
molding our laws and then interpreting
them by controlling both legislatures
and courts would bring about as real
a slavery as John Brown gave his life
to strike:
We must drive the special inter
ests out of politics. Every special
interest is entitled to justice-full,
fair and complete-but not one is
entitled to a vote in congress, a
voice on the bench or to representa-
tion in any public office. The con-
stitution guarantees protection to
property, and we must make that
promise good. But 1t does not give
the right of suffrage to any cor
poration.
That is the political side of the ques-
ton. 1t might be called the legal side.
The moral and ethical side is expressed
by the same speaker in the same
address:
When the alternative must be
faced I am for men and not for
property. I am far from under
estimating the Importance of divi-
dends, but I rank dividends below
human character.
Speaking on the same platform with
the ex-president a few days ago,
Clifford Pinchot, who has come to be
as sturdy and heroic a fighter for
equal opportunity as any the crisis
has produced, voiced this epigram
that deserves to live:
1t is better worth while to help
the small men make a living than
to help the big men make a profit.
The people are today feeling in
their experience the pinch Of hardship
due to trust-made tariffs and other
products of plutocratie laws, and their
rebellion against the conditions has
led 10 the movement we call lnSuT-
gency. The more thoughtful see in
these conditions and the trend it is
now sought to stem great warning.
Says Theodore Bell IN a recent letter
to a friend:
I do not propose to saddle on my
conscience the thing that has
cursed our state in the past, is now
cursing the nation and has been
the one great cancer that has
eaten out the hearts of the nations
and the peoples of history.
There is a striking, even a startling,
analogy between the social and eco
nomic conditions that led to the down
fall of preceding great civilizations
and the conditions today. The eleva-
tion of property rights over human
welfare has worked the doom of other
peoples in the past, whose fate, as
Mr.. Bell says is a warning that it
were utter folly for US to ignore.

have 1t from good authority that a
certain man went down from Jerusa-
lem to Jericho and fell among thieves.
Now, 1t would be easy for q man to go
down from Stockton or San Jose to
San Francisco and fall among thieves
And then when California gets real hot
they are just the class of fellows that
in an emergency would cruelty a good
man and cry TO have Barrabas re-
leased. Now, Barrabas was a robber
an incendiary and was given to going
on night raids. He would find many
a congenial spirit in California. OF
course, Burbank has made new flowers
and new fruits in California and taught
them to grow. He has not yet been
able to produce the best kind of dates,
but he can raise bananas and a pretty
fair sample of oranges, his prunes are
better than any that grow in the holy
land and the grapes of California are
as fine as those that the spies had to
carry back on a pole to their leader
when they were sent to look up the
land of promise. The people of the
tremes. The people of California this
year threaten to elect Mr.. johnson gov
ernor. We expect the climate has
something to do with 1t.
And so the habits of the people have
become careless from the fact that they
do not need to have warm houses;
solieitude for the domestic animals is
unnecessary, because they can shift
for themselves. Finally we know of
no temple in San Francisv) so sacred
that If the money changers had q
chance they would fail to turn it into
a den of thieves.

SIDEWALK SQUAD sueeEsrEc

Editor Herald: We have a traffic
squad; why not a Sidewalk squad"
for the protection of innocent pedes-
trlans who are i'm constant danger of
being stabbed and jabbed by those
atrocious hatpins women wear?
why not have policeman stationed
on the corners of some of the most
thlckly eongested downtown streets
with q bag of corks slung over his
shoulder? Every time he notices a
hatpin that sticks out a couple of
inches over a hat brim let him stop
the woman and offer her a cork, with
the suggestion that she stick 1t on the
business end of the pin and wear 1t
while she is on the street. Such a
plan would insure us poor men the
protection we need so badly and at
the same time would make a stroll
along the sidewalk somewhat less of a

TAXATION sQUABBLES

M HE probability seems to be strong
that the state board of equaliza-
Il tion will carry out It's reported
intention further to raise the assess
ment of Los Angeles county. notwith-
standing that the board last year added
40 per cent to the figures Of the local
assessor and that he has brought his
figures for the current year up to
S522, ,511, ,644.
Whatever the exact merits of the
controversy between the state board
and the authorities of this county
may be, there will always be friction
and mutual suspicion so long as the
basis for assessment is anything less
than 100 per cent, as the law requires.
On basis of 40 to so or any other
per cent each community feels itself
justified in assuming that others are
Sinking and therefore is adopting the
same tactics.
This kind of rivalry indeed, was
doubtless the origin of the practice,
now happily not SO universal as
formerly, among the American COM
munities Of shaving down the rate of
assessment-to get the better of others,
or, to put it another way. to see that
others did not get the better of them
Without a truthful basis, that is, actual
valuation, there must inevitably be in
equalities due to political favoritism,
pull and other causes, and when the
assessments of a whole county are
raised the injustices are magnitied and
sorely felt.
After all, men seldom kick about the
amount of their taxes If they think
they are getting value for them; 1T
is usually against the comparative and
relative sum extracted to the adVan-
tage of somebody else. In the present
case Los Angeles county believes it
is not getting justice from a board
whose sympathies are, to put it mildly,
not with Southern California. With
any other than a 100 per cent basis
lead to heaven knows what. With as
sessments placed in all parts of the
state on actual valuation such a stu
alton as exists today could not be.
The absurdity of any other plan and
the evils growing out of it have been
so impressed on the country that many
important cities have brought their
assessments up TO aCtudi Nalue' Among
them are Baltimore, Boston, WOr-
cester, Trenton, Bridgeport, Toledo,
Buffalo, Detroit, Syracuse, Fall River
Grand Rapids, Providence, Jersey City,
New Haven, Lowell and numerous
lesser communities. Friction due to
state taxation has generally brought
about the reform.
Tie cities and counties of the Pacific
coast are far behind those of the east
in the matter, but as it is the only way
to remove a cause for perennial fric-
tion it must sooner or later come on
the coast.
