KANSAS COWS
MAKE RECORDS
Car Iotta Gave 1878 Pounds of
MIR An One Year = Fairly
Good Average Yield Is
5000 Pounds.

If COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
a year most men are satisfied. This
is fairly good average yield. But
here are some two-year-old Ayrshires
tht surpass that figure by long way.
Their work was described by Prof. o.
E. Reed, head of the dairy depart
ment, in the annual institute. Here
are the records:
Canary Belle, 10,118 pounds of milk
and 437 pounds of butter, 81 per cent
test
Fearnot of Oakdale, 5,21S pounds of
milk and 292 pounds of butter, 4.08
per cent test.
Johanna of Juneau, 1851 pounds of
milk and 335 pounds Of butter, 3.72
per cent test.
Rose of Oakdale, 1856 pounds of
milk and sos pounds of butter, 4.42
per cent test.
ANY one of these cows would sup
port family of five persons. Such
COWS probably, could be bought for
$175 or 5000, but not at the college.
The cost of feeding the ration, and the
income, may be gagged for all the
group by referring to the history of
Johanna of juneau, model family
COW; Johanna ate, every day, thirty
pounds of silage, ten pounds of alfalfa
had, and nine pounds of grain, con-
sisting of four parts of corn, two parts
of bran, and one part of cottonseed
meal. This ration cost SIS a month.
1t was fed as described only when the
COW was giving the highest yield. One
pound of the grain ration. was allow
ed for every three pounds of milk, so
that when Johanna gave q pounds of
milk day she received 9 pounds of
the grain.
Johanna gave S93 gallons of milk
which sold in Manhattan for 80 cents
a gallon. cents a quart, or $285.76.
Not a bad kind of COW to have
around. And, by the way, gallon Of
milk weighs eight pounds. Professor
Reed told, too, of another fine COW, a

NEVER HEARD OF HEAVEN
John and Joseph Shake Their Heads
When Questioned by Judge in
New York Court.

New York.-Rabbi Harris Platkin,
who has one synagogue in Grand
street, Brooklyn, and two in Manhat-
ton, appeared in the childrens court
to press charges of malicious mischief
against two young brothers, one aged
thirteen years and the other ten. The
elder OF the two, John Waitukartis,
was found guilty. Little Joseph was
allowed to go home. John will be pa
rolled
The rabbi alleged that the two boys
threw bricks at him and struck him in
the head with one of them, and called
him names.
Judge Ryan, when examining the
boys, asked them If they had ever
heard of God or heaven. John and
Joseph, in spite of their biblical
names, shook their heads.

Farm manure always has been and

stock farms product which accumu-

annual production of farm manure in
the United States at two billion tops.

Quite often l have heard the conf
plant of sows eating their pigs, and
only short time ago q neighbor o.
mine had fine brood SOW to eat her
pigs Immediately after narrowing.
Now this is not natural for a SOW to
do so, and when they do there is a
reason for it, II that reason is only
looked for.
Sows by nature are not cannibals
and If they are in good physical con-
dition they will care for their young
and. raise them in the proper way.
On the other hand il she is nervous
and fretful at narrowing time she is
apt to eat her pigs, but when they
have the run of good pasture and are
properly fed and cared for they sell
dom eat their offspring.
II sow is compelled to live in the
barnyard, sleep in manure piles or
straw stacks, and only fed little dry
corn she is apt to be feverish, con-
stipated and have but very little milk,

Charleston. w, Va, July 25,-In a
clash with striking miners at Pey-
toha, Boone county, Deputy Sheriff
Efvin Suthpin was probably fatally
shot and Co c, West Virginia Ma
tienal Guard, accompanied by ma
chine gun squad, hurriedly departed
from this city for the scene of the
trouble.
Shortly after the shooting, which
occurred when the officer attempted
to disarm a group of miners who
carried rides, conditions became quiet.
Meanwhile Sheriff White. fearing Sc
'rious trouble, requested troops, and
Governor Glasscock complied at once.
Commanded by Adjutant General
Elliott. the soldiers reached Peytona,
an isolated spot, and found the place
quiet.
The militia went into camp and
prepared to quelI any further out
break.
This clash Is the first to occur dur
ing the present strike In which an Of
ficer lost his life. An Italian miner
was shot and killed by armed guards
on Paint Creek several weeks ago,
The trouble, however, is said to have
been between negro miners and the
