In Christ Our Hope.

PRAYER is not the most effective
thing in the Christians life. Jesus
Christ is better and more effective
than the best prayer ever offered. In
him. and not in prayer, lies our whole
hone. One who dated the beginning Of
his richest Christian life and expert
ence from a time Of prayer when he
had asked everything and received
everything, was reminded of this as
he prayed later, in gratitude for his
new blessings: mot because it was an
effective prayer, but BECAUSE thou art
an effective Christ, was my prayer so
gloriously answered" Those who are
called mighty in prayer" think least
about prayer as such, and most about
CHRIST. Yet the more we think about
Christ and the better we come to
know him, the greater will be the
place that we give to prayer in our
lives.

is the purpose of a new national or

ciety Is to be known as the Pure-Bred
Sire league, it's function being that
of purely voluntary organization to
promote the Improvement of farm live
stock by a general campaign. Any
owner or user of a pure-bred sire of
any class of farm live stock may be-
come a member without payment or
fees or formal nomination.
Upon joining the league, each mem
Der pledges himself, Cd to use only
pure-bred, registered sires in the pro-
duction of farm animals, so far as pos
sible; (2) to advocate the general use
of such sires; 90 to work for the bet
terment of pure-bred sires in breed
character, individual excellence, quail
ty, size, soundness and prepotence;
(4) to discourage the use of grade,
mongrel or scrub sires and all sires
and dams, irrespective of breeding,
that are diseased, hereditarily un-
sound, physically unfit, or undesirable

member will be expected to print this

highly important to interest this
class of farmers who do not have the
stimulant furnished by the systems of
official testing, and the prizes offered
by various dairy breed associations.
The competition was started No.
vember /, 1909, and has run over Is
months The total entries included
500 COWS of which number 444 were
pure-bred Guernseys, Holstein or Jer
sey COWS or heifers and So were
grade. The different breeds which
were represented were as follows:
1913 Guernseys, 207 Holsteins and 102
Jerseys. The total number of breed
ers who entered COWS in the compe-
tition were Sc, of which 81 were
breeders of Guernsey cattle, % Of
Holstein and IS of Jerseys.
1t will be noted that one class of
breeders in the state is not repre-
scented among those taking part in
the competition, namely, breeders of
grade or native dairy cattle. There
are doubtless several reasons why no
owners of native or grade COWS took
up this work: first of all, due to the
labor involved in weighing the milk
and keeping complete milk records of
the COWS, and second, lack of ap-
probation of the necessity Of lform-
ing ones self as to the production of
the individual COWS in the herd. The
last month of the competition, Deem
Der, 1910, showed 354 cows entered
of which SO were grades. The rec
ords for 298 COWS covered the entire
month and these COWS produced on
an average 925.1 pounds of milk and
1875 pounds of fat equivalent to
over ~ pounds of commercial but
ter per head for each day of the
month.
The records of the highest produc-
ers have ranged from 61.79 to SO
pounds of fat and the credits given
after allowing certain handicaps for
young COWS have ranged from 66.26
to 1854 pounds of fat per head per
month.
Some So year records we're COM
pleted March 1, consisting Of 81
Guernseys, % Holsteins and % Jer-
seys. Six records are for production
of over 600 pounds of butter fat, 10
of the tests completed ranged be-
tween 500 and 500 pounds, 80 be-
tween 400 and 500, 80 between 800
and 400, and only are below 800
pounds of butter fat
The average production of butter
fat by breeds is as follows: Holstein
SAP pounds per head; Guernsey
1912 pounds; Jersey 350.6 pounds
The average for the entire SO yearly
records are 1874 pounds of milk,
1906 pounds of solids and 1865
pounds of butter fat 1t should be
remembered that these records were
made by cows entered during the
first three months of the competition
and the COWS were not therefore espe-
cially prepared for making large rec
ords, as is sometimes done

Gods Plan For Us.

The great apostle, writing to the
Ephesians says that we are created
IN Christ unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them" The works are
ready, waiting for us, all we have to
do is to be willing to be led into them.
How many disappointments we should
have been spared in life if we had al
ways acted on this conviction! God
knows what we are fitted for far bet
ter than we know ourselves. He who
made us knows whereof we are made.
If we would be useful in
Christ's service our wisdom is ito
have no plan except to enter into his
plan for u.s." and say with Paul, 'Tord.

The Wisconsin dairy COW competi-
ton was originated through a desire
to increase the development of Wis
consin dairying by stimulating the in
terest in yearly testing of cows for
milk and butter fat production. 1t
was begun in 1909 and patterned aft
er the Iowa station competition and
was rendered possible through the
generosity of w. w. Marsh of Water
loo, Iowa, who donated $1,000 for the
largest authenticated record of pro-
duction of butterfat for one year
made by a Wisconsin COW. In addi-
ton Hoard's Dairyman offered a
monthly prize of $25 to go to the
owners of cows having the highest
production of butter fat for each
month during the period of the COM
petition. The various herd associa-
tions made similar donations which
brought the grand total value of all
the prizes offered IN the competition
up to $4,000
The College of Agriculture pays
for the administration of the tests
and the travelling expenses of the
supervisors out of the agricultural
extension fund. Farmers entering
their cows in the competition paid
supervisors of dairy tests in conduct
ing the monthly tests, at the rate of
SIS per two day tests. The feature
prizes consisted of $1,000 in cash
prizes and of special prizes to
the value of $1,000 to be award
ed for herd records or for rec
ords made by groups of cows in the
same herd. In addition there were
also prizes ranging from 500 to $500
for the highest records of produc-
ton of butter fat by ten COWS in
herd for one year. Cash prizes from
$50 20 $500 were granted the best
yearly records of individual cows
The essential provisions of the
competition provided that I) regu-
lar breeding records should be re
Qutred; (2l as far as possible the
purpose OF the competition was to
popularize the consecutive two day
tests; CD the records of production
were considered not only as regards
milk yields and production of butter
fat but also as to food materials in
the other milk solids; (4) complete
feed records for each month for all
the COWS entered in the competition
were required; and, finally, the clas-
sification of the cow whether pure
bred, grade, or native was essential.
This last point is of great import
ance due to the fact that in Wiscon-
sin So per cent of the cows are
scrub or native cows, Of uncertain or
moagrel breeding. and It seemed

Visitors Come to Study Rate Laws.
Wisconsin is the mecca of ratema,
kers from all over the United States
who wish to learn how it is that the
Badger state has solved the problem
of regulating the corporations in a
manner satisfactory to both the pub
lie and the corporations. Califorrians
and Kansas experts are among the la.
test to come to Wisconsin for ideas,
and now that Illinois has copied the
Wisconsin law it seems likely that
that state will also have a delegation
here soon to see how Wisconsin's rate
commission operates.
Attention of these other state
boards was called to the Wisconsin
rate regulation system especially by
declarations of the members of the
Badger board that when President
Theodore N. Vail of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
which controls the Bell Telephone and
Western Union Telegraph companies,
in his annual report advocated corpo-
ration regulation by state govern
mental authorities he was advocating
exactly the system now in use in Wis
consin. The fact that Wisconsin's rate
laws, known for years as satisfactory
to the public, had proved so fair from
the corporation standpoint also as to
cause the head of a great corporation
to declare in favor of such regulation
everywhere, has been largely respon.

The fostering of this commendable
organization is only one more step
in advance on the part of Wisconsin
to eradicate inferior, mongrel stock
from her breeding operations. In fact
an educational campaign to improve
agricultural conditions could be con-

of excellent breeding stock in all
