1t would startle a dairyman of 40
years ago to look at some of the rec

dairy breeds in America. Then a COW

in year would have been considered
as prosperous as the old world looked

produced that amount of milk under
careful supervision. 1t tested 3.64 per
cent butter fat, being a total of 99S
pounds butter fat for the year.
Another Holstein, Lunde Korndyke.
was a close second, with 26l92
pounds milk to her credit for year,
which tested 1888 per cent, or total
of S72 pounds butter fat
However, all good cows are not
Holsteins. Readers will recall the re-
markable record of the Guernsey COW,
Dolly Dimple. She produced 1S,SOS
pounds milk in year which tested
out 1878 pounds fat.
Jersey breeders have something to
brag about Jacoba Irene produced

Jersey, Sophie 18th, while giving only

WATERING cows IN THE BARN
Successful Dairyman Rigs UP Port
able Tank. Large Enough for
Three Animals to Drink.

A successful dairyman recently out
lined to us his method of watering
the cows in the barn, says the Ohio
Farmer. He objected to using the
long, continuous feed trough for wa
tering, his objections being that there
will be in the process considerable
evaporation into the atmosphere of
the barn. Damp air in the barn
means that it will be chilly. The evap-
Grafton from the cutters and radia'
ton from the COWS saturate the air
more than it should be without any
further addition from the trough.
To overcome that objection and yet
provide a means of watering in the
stall he had rugged a trough on low
wheels. This movable tank was so
constructed that 1t would run nicely
above the continuous feed trough. In
that way the COWS can be watered in
a very short while without being
loosened from their stalls. The tank
was made long enough so that three
cows could drink at a time. A man
may be sweeping the feedway at the
same time or doing other work while
moving this tank cart from time to
time.

One way of increasing profits in
many dairy herds would be to sell

veterco,or studies of floral subjects which have
become so popular with picture lovers To Sc
cure flower study by de Longpre or some other
well-known artist costs pretty penny, but from
the standpoint of the giver it has the advantage
that it is a permanent reminder of the donor and
NOT a aeeting one as is the most gorgeous clus-
ter of natures products.
The penchant of the modest American grl Tor
ret dogs has given the cue to many mere man
desrous of discovering unique Valentine Day
gift The little canine that goes to maiden as
an envoy of love on the February holiday is
usually duly adorned with red ribbons and in
some instances carries heart-shaped card or
other supposedly significant emblem of the day
The elaborate gift book is another favored form
of valentine remembrance and Illuminated vol
umes of Moore's love poems or other sentimental
effusions are deemed especially appropriate by
many valentine purchasers.
Candy too does not need to take second place
to any of the other uew-found mediums of senti-
mental exchange. In the days of yore the ap-
proved form of valentine candy was the heart
shaped peppermint with tender messages print ed
in red on each bit of candy. Nowadays it is the
box and not the candy contained therein that Is
supposed to bespeak the heart warnings Of an
absent or bashfu sutton The hear-shaped candy
box is the favorite of all latter-day CONNECTION
containers but boxes in the form of Cupid's ar
row etc. are also in vogue
And, speaking of Cupid, we must not forget that
bronze and marble representations of the little
god himself catch the fancy of many Valentine
Day gift gvers. Such statuettes may be as small
as large the giver may desire and costly
or as cheap as his purse dictates The god of
love may be obtained, artistically portrayed in
plaster, for less than one dollar whereas 1t Is
quite possible to eXrend more money than the
average individual earns in month or two upon
a sentimental bit Of sculpture executed in bronze
or in real marble Similarly has the currency of
sentiment on this significant occasion been made
to embrace medallions and PLAQUES which, alike
to the statuettes represent Cupid in various en-
vironments and, in most instances are reproduc-
tons Of the work of famous artists or sculptors.
Finally we find music, particularly of the senti-
mental variety made a circulating medium on
this momentous day in midFebruary. Here, too.
we have progressed. In the old days the young
man who would fain make his appeal via the
musical route could do no better than send sheet
music Today he has not only sheet music avail
able for such messenger service but also player
piano rolls and graphophone records that can be
relied upon to deliver a sentimental appeal in
the requisite soulful fashion.
