Advantages Derived From Farmers
Meetings.

The daily life of the farmer is such
as to prevent mingling with his fell
low men as freely and constantly as
the man engaged in business in the
city. The agriculture Of this coun.
try has been undergoing many radical
changes during the past few years.
The farmer has been endeavoring to
keep abreast of the times through
studying, reading and thinking, more
than ever before. But there are many
benefits resulting from mingling with
men engaged in similar pursuits that
cannot be procured in any other way.
Benefits arise from discussions, ex-
change of ideas, experiences, etc. Not
the least important, however, is the
stimulus which renews energies and
creates new desires and ideals. The
farmer should not miss the oppor'
tunities presented by the legal grange
or farmers club or. meetings of farm
ers' institutes, livestock breeders as
sociations or various farmers one
week courses offered at the colleges.

tie in Michigan have been thoroughly
from testing their animals for ad-
vanced registry. There are at the
present time in this state 100 Jersey
cows in ten different herds which are
being inspected two days each month
as check on their yearly yields.
Among the Holsteins there are forty
cows on test for semi-oflicial yearly
production in six different herds of
the state.
In Guernseys, eighteen cows are on
test in five different herds.
In other words, twenty-one owners
of registered cows are having a total
of 16S cows tested fory early authen-
ticated records.
Aside from the above, there have
been $40 Holstein COWS and two Jer-
sey COWS tested for seven-day Official
records in the state of Michigan dur
ing the past year, and the present in
dications are that this number will
be greatly increased during the COM
ing year. At present, ten men are EN-
ployed in making these tests. These
men are employed by the dairy hts
bandman of the experiment station,
who authorizes their work. but all
expenses incurred in making the tests
and the payment of the tester himself
is a charge upon the person owning
the cows tested, and Is paid by him.
The advanced registry tests have
already done much for the dairy cattle
of Michigan. Their influence is just
beginning to be felt. They have been
mighty influence in helping to in
crease the capacity of our dairy cat
tie, and in setting standards of pro-
duction which were scarcely dreamed
Of in former days.

COMPETITIONS of speed among

COMPETITIONS of speed among
horsemen have been in vogue for
several centuries, and practice Of
publication of the speed records Of
horses made in official meets is by no
means of recent date. The publica-
ton of these records has given a
great impetus to the breeding and
training of speed horses. The fast
horse has reached his highest develop
ment in the United States, because
the American people love the sport,
and large numbers of men have de-
voted their time. their intellect and
their money to the promotion of speed
interests.
What the trotting horse register
and the other speed records have been
to the horse interests, the advanced
register is coming to be to the dairy
cow interests. Speed records have
their foundation in sport, but dairy
COW records are. founded upon utility.
The "2:40" horse and the zone

contemporary, and each has been far

Cut off Easy Money.

Woe'is in the hearts of the employees
of both the house and the senate at Lam
sing. The time honored custom of pay
ing all employees their per diem for
seven days in the week is all off and
hereafter none will receive pay except
for days upon which they give actual
service and this cannot under the law
include Sundays.
Speaker Baker was first to bring the
matter up in a request to Attorney
General Kuhn for an opinion on the
matter Mr. Kuhn has given that opin-
ion in lengthy argument covering all
points and making it clear there is no
chance for the collection of the per
diem for seven days week.
He holds that the per diem may be
paid only upon such days as actual ser.
vice is rendered and then quotes the old
blue laws which forbid any work being
done on Sunday as reason why actual
service cannot be rendered on that day
and therefore pay cannot be drawn for
1t. IG
Moreover, if clerk or stenographer
remains at home on account of illness
for day. the per diem stops. If a
clerk takes day off to attend wed.
ding or a funeral or to go to the ball
games there is nothing doing in the pay
envelopes.
This decision will mean big saving
to the state and big loss to the en-
ployes, For instance the clerk of the
house and the secretary of the senate
receive$l8 day. Heretofore, that has
meant $40 week. Hereafter it will
mean a bit of ten spot extracted from
the envelope every week. Other en-
ployes receive pay ranging from 80 a
day to Sc and have heretofor been paid
for seven days Hereafter they will be
paid only for the days they work and
when theJ Legislature adjourns Thurs
day. Unless there is work fop the en-
ployes from then until Monday. there
will b8 no per diem for the recess.
The clerks have declared they will
take the matter into the. courts and
even TO- the supreme court before they
will letIgo, but Mr.. Kuhn declares:
II am certain my argument is good
and whenH am asked for an opinion /
shall giVB nc to the verv best of my abil-
ity Regardless of who gets bumped"

Especial Correspondence).

NSPeCidi SoVTeSpoHueHCc).
Lansing, Mich.-Realizing that the
senate violated all presidents in the
number of employees and that relief
for the present and in the future will
only come if the responsibility for ex
travagance is placed squarely on the
senate, Governor Osborn, in a special
message, called the attention of the up.
per house to the number Of employees
and requested a pruning of the pay.
roll accordingly.
Governor Osborn contends that
twenty-eight employees can do the
work, while the senate has fifty-six
names on the payroll. For years past
the second and third termers, who are
onto the game, have brought down a
number of friends and secured jobs
for them as committee clerks, or in
some other capacity. 1t is said that
an upper peninsula senator always
succeeds in placing four or five girls,
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-01-27

and that when his quota is limited by
resolution, the senator switches his
protegees over to some first termer,
Who, new in the game, has not
made any promises for legislative
job to his friends at home. Some SEN
ators have placed their sons as mes
sengers, and when Senator Scott from
Alpena called their attention to the
state law which forbids employment
of children under sixteen years, there
was CONSERVATION among the solons.
Fowle Will Relieve Situation.
Senator Fowle has drafted bill
which will remedy the situation and
avoid the abuse of the legislative pat
ronage in the future. It is not ex-
pected that the senate will heed Gov
rnor Osborn's plea for economy during
the present session, but by throwing
the searchlight of publicity on this
time-honored custom, thousands Of dol
lars can be saved the taxpayers in the
future.
Corporation Tax.
Undoubtedly the greatest PROPOSE
ton submitted to a Michigan legisla-
tre in years is Governor Osborn's
idea Of corporation tax, which will
yield sufficient revenue to take care
of all the expenses of the state, and
separate the collection of state and
county tax entirely. Representative
Lord OF Wayne, chairman of the house
committee on taxation, claims that
such tax is unconstitutional, but Gov
ernor Osborn states that he has the
advice of some Of the best constitu.
tional lawyers of the state on the SUBJ
ject and that their advice is favorable
1t is doubtful, however. if there is
a member in the house big enough
and who possesses the generalship to
steer a corporation tax bill through
the dangerous channels of private and
corporation interests, which stand
ready, to oppose the passage of such
measure to the last ditch.
No Floor Leader In House.
Up to this time, the lines between
the administrationists and the ants
have not been tightly drawn. While
as a whole the house will be with the
governor with large majority, cases
will arise when local and personal in
terests will cause a hitch in the pro-
gram. Speaker Baker has number
of friends among the members, but
who will act as whip" or floor leader,
has not yet been decided. Representa-
tive ID. G. F. Warner from Leelenau
and Representative Flowers Of Wayne
are able men, good jurists and ready
debaters, but both opposed Baker in
his fight for the speakership, and 1t

Excessive Appropriations.

The farmer members of the house
are shocked at the estimates presented
by the various boards of control of
the state institutions. They believe
these estimates are entirely out of all
proportion, and unreasonable.
The Kalamazoo asylum for the i'm.
sane requests an appropriation OF SOL
600 for horse barn. While the state
public school requires one for $4,000
for piggery to accommodate seventy
pigs.
That these bills will be cut is a
sure guess. but In the past the
appropriations asked for by the boards
of control were unquestioned and al
lowed. with the result that there al
ways was nice little nest egg in the
treasures of the institutions for a
rainy day.
State Fair For Upper Peninsula.
An effort will be made by the upper
peninsula delegation to have the state
give financial aid to an upper PENN
sula state fair. A fair association will
be organized by persons interested in
the proposition shortly. and great re-
suits are expected from the advertis.
ing OF the agricultural resources of
the country above the straits. :,
