This is the milkman's problem
How can l produce the greatest
amount of milk and butter at the least
expense?"
Chief Josephine, bred and owned
by the agricultural department of the
University of Missouri at Columbia,
has come nearer solving this problem
than any other COW on earth.
1t costs n cents a day to keep
Josephine and her daily production is
worth more than $4
Thus Josephine makes as much
each day as the average mechanic.
She makes more each year than
the average preacher, and almost as
much as the average college professor.
Chief Josephine is now a little over
eight years old and is of the HoIstein
breed, otherwise known as Frisian or
Holland
OF course, Josephines diet is care
fully and Systematically looked after.
She is fed alfalfa hay and corn silage
for coarse feed and for grain she is
given mixture of corn, bran, linseed
neal and cottonseed meal. The amount

year to come.
EARLY Days of Astoria or the De-
struction of the Tonquin" is the title
of a pyrotechnical display which will
be offered as a night feature of en-
tertainment during the centennial.
This pageant will have a ballet OF
200 foreign vaudeville artists and
numerous special features to complete
two-hour entertainment. This en-
tertainment will be built upon the
water and is to be one of the big fea-
lures of the centennial. 1t is the first
time that any big fireworks spectacle
has ever been attempted upon the
water, but the development of the
fireworks business is such now that
success is assured.
Eight different conventions will be
in session during the centennial cele.
bration, including the school teachers

BIG FIRMS EvADE TAX LAWS
Deceive the United States In Salary
Returns--Office Boys at
$4,000 a Year.

Denver, Colo.-Somewhere IN Den
yer there are several-maybe score
of office boys who are drawing fabu-
lous salaries for opening mail and
running errands. The boys don't
know that they are drawing these sal
aries of $4,000 or $4,000, or even $1O,-
900 year, but they are just the same.
But 1t Is only In the reports of an
nual net incomes that are being made
to the United States internal revenue
officers by Denver corporations that
these salaries appear.
Under corporation tax law salaries
are deducted from the net total sum
taxable. Revenue officers say the total
of salaries this year as shown by the
returns has taken an enormous jump.
If some Of the reports are true, they
say, there are many firms In Denver
who are giving away money every day
Then there are salaries listed for
employees now living in three-room
flats that, II really paid. would enable
them to live In mansions.

POTATOES, RYE
AND CLOVER
Experiments Conducted by Rhode
Island Station Show Net
ReturnS-No Success in
Growing Clover.

For IL years the Rhode Island ex-
Jeriment station has been making ex-
)eriments having as their basis a ro-
alton Of potatoes, rye and clover. The
'Otation consists of winter rye the
first, clover or clover and grass the
second, and potatoes the third year.
On an average for the whole period
Of 12 years plat No. II received per
lcre 81 pounds of potash, GIG pounds
Of phosphoric acid, 27.2 pounds of nj
-rogen and 250 pounds of lime; plat
No. IA, $50 pounds of potash, 0.4
pounds of phosphoric acid, 26.9 pounds
Of nitrogen and 232 pounds of lime,
and plat No. 13, 67.7 pounds of potash,
S7.2 pounds of phosphoric acid, 27.1
pounds of nitrogen and 232 pounds of
lime each year.
Previous work showed that the pro
portion of merchantable tubers in the
potato crop is greatly increased by
Inning, even sometimes in cases where
the total Weld remains the same The
results obtained so far indicate that
after the three year rotation is well
started, further lining once in six
years at very moderate rates will be
sufficient.
The general improvement of the soil
was found to have far less beneficial
effects upon the rye crop than upon
potatoes and clover. With the inn
provement In the soil it was neces-
5ary to omit nitrogenous top-dressings
for rye, with the result that the yields
of straw were somewhat lessened and
those of grain increased. The exper-
iment also taught that it Is advisable
to SOW grass seed with the clover, as
grass usually more readily survives un-
der extreme winter and excessive dry
summer conditions. No success was

Life on the Farm.

A contented and intelligent rural
population is the true basis of a per
manent agriculture. There are several
conditions essential to the best coun-
try life. The success of the farm as a
business enterprise is of prime inn
portance. 1t must return an income
ties, most of the conveniences and
some of the luxuries of life. The com
munity life of the agricultural popu-
lation must be such as will stimulate
mental activity to amply satisfy the
social aspirations of the countryman
and his family.

Value Of Lime.

Fresh lime, unslaked, weighs about
80 pounds per bushel, and will Absorb
about 27 pounds of water from the air
forming hydrate of lime. 1t also alb
serbs carbonic acid from the air and
is gradually converted into carbon
ate of lime. One bushel of stone lime
will make about three bushels when
slaked. Air-slaked lime is always re
ferred to when it is recommended fol-
land Sixty bushels of slaked lime is
a good dressing for one acre.

hibit and discuss educational matters
of today and century ago. 1t is a
big feature and numerous social fea-
lures are planned for the entertain
ment of the teachers who will attend
the convention. AS it is an official
state affair all the teachers of the
state will be compelled to attend un-
less prevented by sickness, so that
it is bound to be a representative
meeting of educators.
Special allegorical floats are being
constructed for a series of land
parades which will be different in
character each week. These floats
will be fully as magnificent as those
used at the annual Rose Festival at
Portland, and the school children will
be drilled to participate in the exer-
cises by the order of the board of
education.
Specially interesting will be the OPP
portunity for visitors to witness the
fishing for salmon at Astoria. There
are more than 5000 salmon fishing
craft at Astoria and the salmon fish
ing season will be open until August
25, allowing the visitors to see how
the mighty salmon is caught and
canned. These monsters weigh as
much as 70 pounds and average about
20 pounds each Salmon which weigh
40 pounds are numerous and it is an
excellent opportunity to see how mil
lions are made out of the salmon
catch every year.
The governors of the various states
will be invited and a number have
already accepted invitations to be
present on special days set apart for
the respective states. With their
military staffs they will be royalty
entertained and add greatly to the
social life at the centennial celebra-
ton.
Altogether, the Astoria Centennial
is to be a fitting climax to 100 years
of prosperity which has come from
the founding of this city by the sea
by a trading party sent from New
York by John Jacob Astor.

Ice Good for Hair.

Explorers say that the frigid zones
give immunity from common colds.
But no recent explorer seems to have
mentioned the old belief that long so
journs among the ice are good for the
hair This was the firm conviction of
whaling shippers in the days when
Dundee was the port for the Arctic.
1t was said that even the baldest Of
seamen contrived to grow a passable
crop Of hair before returning.

Success With Farming.

When a family with 100 acres pro
duces what it needs and can exchange
some products for taxes, repairs, edu-
cation, etc, and can also maintain the
land in a productive state, it thus
solves a problem that will benefit fu-
ture generations. Not only should its
success be announced, but the method
by which 1t succeeded should be pub
lished for the benefit of others.

Colts Hustle tor reed.

1 believe we would get better re.
suits If we would change our practice
of raising colts. Many farmers permit
colts to run with their mothers un-
til they are put on the market, says a
writer in an exchange. Many times
they become very thin and emaciated
during the winter, especially when
snow is quite deep. A good plan, It
seems to me, would be for us to give
them some feed the first year. l be-
neve that in the course Of a few years
this will be done

she requires of each is carefully com
puted from the chemical composition
of the feeds.
During the warm summer months
Josephine consumed about 80 gallons
of water daily.
Through the whole routine of her
daily life Josephine is never forced to
do anything; above all, she is never
struck or excited.
Josephine is no freak. What she has
done can be repeated in any normal
milk-giying COW.
1t is fact that any COW can be de-
veloped to give milk beyond what is
today considered a good average. 1t
is largely because dairymen do not
know the latent possibilities of their
herds that the present average is so
low.
All that is required for a start is a
COW that is normal in every respect.
From this point man is the chief
factor-man with a training such as
is impaired at the college of agricul-
ture of the University of Missouri,
and at other like colleges the country
over.

We noticed, while at a sale the
other day, a new idea along the gate
line, that I believe Is good enough to
pass along, writes c. o. Thomas in
the Homestead. The gate was made
wide enough to allow a hay rack to
pass through. The small section Of
the gate made the handling easier
when a person wished to pass
through, besides lessening the strain
on the gate we're It made In one SEQ

ton. The larger section of the gate
shuts against a short post, which was
set in the ground and sawed in such
a manner as to leave a back for the
gate to shut against as illustrated.
The short 2x4 is held in place by
strap iron clips, and holds the gate
rigid. In doing chores, when passing
through It, the 2x4 is slipped back on
the larger gate, and the hook used to
keep the gate closed.

SKIN in COLD STORAGE

physicians Discover That Skin TAKEN
from the Human Body May 30
Kept In Healthy Condition
Indefinitely.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Through, the sue
cessful outcome of an operation, per-
formed on 18-year-old Anna Windt, the
physicians at the Samaritan hospital
have made a discovery which may be
of incalculable benefit in the grating
of skin. The discovery is that skin
taken from the human body may be
kept in a healthy condition for an In
definite period and that 1t may then
be used to replace skin that has peen
burned or otherwise destroyed.
Early this year man entered the
Samaritan hospital to have an opera
ton performed. This operation IN
cluded the removal of thirty-two
square inches of skin from his abdo-
men. DR.. Babcock had this carefully
rolled up and put on ice until he
should be ready for the experiment.
This was made thirty-five days after
the skin had been removed from the
male patient. Twenty square inches
were taken, smoothed out, and care
fully put in place on the girls arm.
For several days the arm was ex-
Rmined minutely and then 1t became
apparent that the frozen skin was ia
king hold" to the natural skin with as
much f1rmness as If it had been taken
directly from living flesh.
