Fhe second Foot of Water

Second foot" defined by the
United states geological survey, is an
abbreviation for cubic foot per second
and is the unit for the rate Of discharge
of water flowing in a stream l foot
wide, l foot deep, at a rate of 1 foot
per second. 1t is generally used as a
fundamental unit in measurements If
stream flow. Second feet per square
mile" is the average number of cubic
feet Of water flowing per second from
each square mile of area drained, on
the assumption that the run off is dis
tributed uniformly both as regards
time and area. An acre foot" is the
equivalent to 43,56O cubic feet and is
the quantity required to cover an acre
10 depth of one foot. The term is
commonly used in connection with stor-
age for irrigation work. One second
foot flow equals 7.4S United States gal
Ions a second, Ass gallons a minute,
or 646,317 gallons a day. AS a Calitur-
MIA miners inch" equals DIST gallon
a second, there are 40 California
miners inches in one second foot.

in New England that was founded in
revolutionary days to catch horse
thieves. Then it was composed of rough
riding farmers with muskets, while
now the membership has forgotten why
the club was formed and the members
wear dress suits.
The outsiders complain OF the high
prices for registering their cattle IN
this l do not quite agree. for / believe
the registering of cattle is the best
way of keeping the breed pure. Now
would make the membership low and
put the fees high to members A
large intelligent support of non-resi-
dent members will correct evils. We
have had in our Holstein Association
members who wished to build or buy
a building to house the association.
The bulk of the members promptly
voted down any use of the reserve
funds for this purpose.
Out of this discussion has come the
desire expressed in some quarters to
have the government take over the
books of the different horse and cattle
societies. We who are members can
see in this endless annoyance, red tame
multiplying and rendering the advance
ment of a breed impossible. AS it is
now, the money paid in is paid ont
again for improving the breed. The
prize money is an inducement to breed
ers to win and comes easier than
money taken at fairs.
Now, the Holstein cows are the larg-
est of the dairy breeds There are
probably more of them in the dairy
herds of the world than any other
breed. Nine Holstein cows have made
over a thousand pounds of butter in
a year containing the commercial S57
per cent of butter fat. Some have
gone considerably beyond the thou
sand pounds. These cows in the thou
sandpound class are not many as yet
because of the expense. The Holsteir
cow has been the poor mans cow, and
he has contented himself with the sew
en- and 30-day tests. Then the other
breeds said the Holstein was a spurter,
and the association backed the cows

Milk Cost

California Cultivator The Milk
Producers Association, having mem
bers in various states about New York
has made investigation as to cost Of
producing milk. These Investigations
have determined that it costs practi
cally 500 per year to feed a cow, while
cost for care is $65. They have also
proved that with the average Of the
herds generally maintained the cost is
above cents per quart. 1t is SO near
. that cents has been fixed upon rs
the cost so far can be determin eu
under the diverse conditions obtaining
Exceptional producers were segre-
gated from the average herd and from
them it was found possible to produce
milk at 4 cents or slightly under.
But sufficient cows of that grade can
not be found to supply the needs of
the people.
Doubtless ths conditions about New
York call for exceptionally high priced
feed, but we question their being any
higher in price than in California to
day. This is abundant excuse for the
inauguration of COW testing associa :
tons to aid in wedding out non-pro =
ducerS.

NINE CARDINALS WILL
RE NAMED NEXT MONTH,

ROME. Oct. THE announcemeo
Of consistory some time in Novem
ber has attracted anew the attention
Of Catholic circles to the creation of
new cardinals to fill the vacancies
caused by the deaths of three foreign
cardinals; also to remedy the situa
uoh created last year in many Cath
olc countries by the appointment of
nine new cardinals regardless of their
nationality.
Just now the sacred college and its
composition are the subject of diligent
study on the part of the students of
church politics, as the possibility of a
conclave is ever present. The pope's
advanced age and his precarious health
never cease to worry his friends. Ital-
ian circles, which last year were m
set by the unusual number of red hats
allotted to the foreign element. are
now hguring on what they call the re
establishment of the equilibrium that.
according to the Italian traditions. Is
desired to exist in the sacred college.
regardless of any considerations of
equity and church interests outside Of
Italy.
AT the coming consistory there will
probably be nine new cardinals. six
vacancies always existed and three are
caused by. deaths. 1t is believed five

natives of the Arctic regions. The re-

fully recorded by the moving picture
camera and will be graphically por-
trayed on the screen.
The monsters of the deep are shown
in their annual struggle for their

brutes. Roping the wild terror is one
of the most remarkable pictures ever

in which he evades the moose is start

to win at the 1000-pound- -a-year test.
These nine cows above mentioned gave
from $4,000 to 27,OOO pounds of milk
in the year. Think of the pigs that
skim milk would raise Then there
are 80 official registry cows that have
made more than thirty pounds of but
ter in seven days. One odd thing about
this bunch is that 95 of them have
of Netherland. The average of the
best cows of the breed in butter fat
runs about 3.s per cent. Yes! Just
high enough to come within the city
requirements. 1t was funny fact
that when some men tried to make
the requirements so high as to shut
out the Holsteins and grade cows the
towns were threatened with milk
famine.
The Holstein, as will be seen, is
not the family COW where one COW is
kept. Like the Ayrshire, the fat glob-
ules are small, and her milk is best
for separator skimming. The Jersey
and Guernsey are blessed with the
larger fat globules and make the fam
lily cow.
Now, I could multiply the Holstein
records, but will not do so. l have the
books of this breed while 1 have to
depend on clippings for the records of
other breeds. l therefore can only
hope they are correct. The Holstein
cows are great eaters and are only
useful on the farm where roughage is
used in quantity. Silage, alfalfa ana
corn stalks will keep them in good
milk flow. Adding to the rough feeds
grain. they will increase that milk flow
rapidly. They rarely fail to at once
respond to increase of feed. The last
great test has been that of Valdesso
Scott II, who came in with a record
Of 40 pounds in seven days. This is
more remarkable as it comes from
a COW that has not had ancestry of
official record for butter making.

CHOOSING 4 BREED

Mrs. NJ. E. Sherman in California Gull
tivator: The deerlike Jersey is cer-
tainly the most beautiful Of all dairy
animals when young. Take the little
heifers, yearlings, and see how grace
fully they move over the pasture! The
size of the Jersey has been lessenen
by the practice of early breeding, ami
the older cows soon look worn and
weary. The silver colored Jerseys, with
black nose and tail markings, are well
worthy their places Is gentlemen's pets.
/ love the Jersey cows, but l always
want them securely tied when | 60
near them, for they do not like strang-
ers around their stables While the
Jersey is used in dairying very exten.
sively, she is above all the COW for
the family that has only one animal.
The large fat globule in her milk
makes it rise into cream on the milk
pan, while the small quantity of skim
milk left can be readily used in a
small family.
The earlier Jersey tests were made
by the churning of the cream, and as
these tests proved variable they are
not accepted with the same reliance as
the tests made by the Babcock. Until
the Babcock test proved itself the Jer-
sey breeder clung TO the churn test
ing. The new testing by the Babcock
shows some fine animals. Jacoba
Irene's test is one of the highest. She
gave 1888 pounds of milk and 112l
pounds of butter in 365 days, or butter
fat 954 pounds. This same COW has
the highest seven-day test of 443
pounds of butter fat. Another Jersey
Of note is Hector Fairy Belle, who gavv
in the 30-day test 1641 pounds of milk
containing IS pounds of butter fat.
At the present time there is much
criticism by outside breeders of the
Jersey Cattle Club. They say it is real
ly a club, with the expensive ways Of
a club, that the nonresident breeder
pays for all this when he registers his
cattle. This club ic becoming as ex-
elusive in its way as that famous club

date declared that as a person of for
cign birth, by securing divorce from
her American husband, she had lost
her citizenship. The attorney general
of the state reverses this opinion and
decides that she is still a citizen. In
the state of Washington women vote
their citizenship is in all respects on
the same footing with that of men. II

STATES Dried FRUIT EXPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. More than
10000 tons of California canned ana
dried fruit will be shipped to Europe
before the season closes, according to
figures compiled by traffic men here.
The tremendous growth in this traffic
during the past two years is said to
be largely due to the elimination OF
speculative buying. Producers are re
ceiving fully as great prices as in for
mer years, but European consume ers
are getting the benefit of much lower
price, with the result that a still great f.
er increase in the trade is expected in
succeeding years.
