Good Prospects for Corn.

Darlington emocat The temperature
for May, 1911, was higher in the North
than any other May since record has
been kept. The extreme heat continues
into June with only Temporary Interrupt
tions. Rains have been frequent and
bountlful, tho not one has been excess
i've in this locality. No roads or fields
are guttered. Corn came up in three
days. Grass thickened and has length
ened until from an unpromising begin
ming it has developed into great crop.
Corn is growing vigorously except where
it has beer cut down by worms, as
much of it has been on sod. If this
weather continues corn must be laid by
in three weeks because it will be getting
too big to cultivate and because the
hay crop will be ready for cutting.

The SELECTION OF
GOOD DAIRY COWS

In an address before the Vermont
Dairy association Professor Cook Of
New York said that after an expert
ence of q lifetime he believed the only
sure way to tell a good COW is to bring
out the scales and BabcOck teSt One
COW that came pretty near being eligi-
BILE for the BOBBY prize had to her
credit 500 pounds of butter for the year.
Professor Cook mentioned this to show
how impossible it is to judge q COW
entirely on her looks. AS a man
looks the dairy COW In the face she
should show a good head and a fine
eye, not too prominent. The lips
should be strong and the nostrils large
with good openings. Strong lips in
dictate good digestion. and good nos
trils indicate lung power The COW
should be wide between the front legs
and have good length of body.
Continuing, Professor Cook said:
My experience is that good dairy
COW has good, heavy shoulders, not
beefy, for, in fact. there should not be
bit of fat on dairy cow.
The ribs should be far apart. The
mammary veins do not always indi-
cate what the COW will produce, but
they come pretty close. Milk veins
should be prominent and many of
them. This indicates a good blood
circulation. Contrary to the impress
sion of many. there is no milk in the
milk veins. They are filled with blood
returning from the udder to the heart.
l always like large milk wells or open
ings l like to see milk veins on the
udder,
The skin Of the animal should be
loose and snap back when released.
Watch out for a thin. papery hide.
Such an animal is likely to have poor

digestion and be unable to repro
duce herself. | never saw a hide too
thick if it snapped back on quick re-
lease. l do not want a thin, small
tail and do not take much stock in an
extra long one. Many make sad
mistake in feeding COWS too heavily
before they freshen. They should be
placed on a diet two weeks before
parturition 1t is a terrible shock to
the COW when the blood flows from
the fetus to the Udder.
AS to the COWS uAder, much can be
told by the texture as to what will be
done inside. 1t is Il great mystery to
know just why, how and when one
COW does remarkable stunts at the
pail while another does little or moth
ing
There seems to be q peculiar func-
COWS to turn out lot Of work. They
have the peculiar ability to take a lot
of nourishment from the blood as it
passes through the udder. That is
why we urge farmers to select the
COW with extra good circulation. If
the milk veins are prominent on the
abdomen and udder 1t indicates a
good circulation and the proba bility
that a lot of nourishment is being
utilized through the udder. A soft,
velYety or silky udder is as good an
indication as | know of what is going
on inside

The Dam at keokuk .

The Dam at heOkuk.
The Father of Waters, the mighty
Mississippi is to be harnessed. This
mighty dam, which is being contracted
at Keokuk, Iowa, will furnish 200, 900
horse power and when completed will
be the largest dam for hydro electric
purposes in the world.
The dam will stretch across the Miss
issippi from Keokuk, Iowa, to Hamilton,
| H., distance of almost a mile.
The effect the giant powerhouse will
have upon the industrial and civic well
fare of the middle west will be great.
Within a transmission distance of prac-
tically 200 miles are an unusually large
number of fourishing cities and towns;
ST. Louis, Bloomington, Quincy, Deca-
tur, Galesburg, Rock Island, Spring
field Peoria Joliet and Rockford, in
Illinois, Dubuque, Davenport, Des
Moines, Clinton and Cedar Rapids in
Iowa.
Then there are the large cities of Mis-
sour, st. Louis, Kansas City, Hannibal
and st Joseph Although the work will
not be completed until 1913 contracts
have already been made with the public
! service companies of st. Louis for 1000
horse power for period of 80 years.
1t has been pointed out that while the
east, as whole, is the great manufact
uring center, yet for many years past
there has been pronounced tendency on
the part of manufacturers to get us near
as possible to the sources of their raw
material, or to seek those localities
where motive power can be obtained at
a minimum Of cost Illinois and Iowa
have always been agricultural states.
The farmers of that part of the country
have become exceedingly prosperous,
and now it looks as though there would
be rapid industrial development
Throughout that section. Hence it is by
no means necessary to regard the mar
ket for the power developed on the
Mississippi as limited to industries al
ready existing III the market territory.
1t is safe assumption that region
with this great reserve of hydro electric
power will gradually evolve new in
dustries.
1t is understood that the power gener-
ated Will be supplied to existing GENITAL
stations in different towns and cities in
the territory that can be served much
the same manner as natural gas is sup
piled to local gas companies i'll the gas
belts The present equipment of the
stations need not be dismantled, but
may be heldin readiness for emergencies.
The project involves the building of a
powerhouse, and new lock and dry
dock for the accommodation Of the river
traffic
The United States government and the
Mississippi River Power Company are
jointly interested in the enterprise.
The government secures free Of cost a
new lock and dry dock, to replace the
present canal and three locks, which
will be submerged by the new dam,
the new lock being much larger than
old ones. The government secures also
new permanent navigable stage OF
water for a distance Of sixty miles
north of the dam. Only during the high
stages Of the river is it now possible to
navigate the Des Moines rapids, which
extend over a length Of seven and one
half miles Of river, except by the use OF
the present canal lock system, occupy
ing the Iowa shore and finished in 1877.

COOKING Feed Does Not Paw

AS a rule. cooking the feed for the
COW depreciates the digestibility Of the
protein. At the Oregon experiment:
station Dithycombe & Bradley found
that steaming both vetch and corn 81
lage materially decreased the digesti-
bility. Some starchy feed. like pota-
toes, often has it's digestibility increas-
ed by cooking. but the preponderance
of testimony Is to the effect that II
does not pay to cook feed for the dairy
COW.
