With record of 1,O5S.34 pounds
Of butter fat produced in 365 days,
Banostine Belle De Kol, five-year-
old Holstein-Friesian COW, owned by
Dan Dommick & Bro, East Claridon,
Ohio, becomes the new Queen of the
Dairy World" This wonderful cow
produced during the year 27,4O4.4|
pounds Of milk testing 3.86 per cent
fat. This means over nine gallons
Of milk per day, or enough to supply
SO families each with quart Of milk
daily. If made into butter, her fat
production would equal 1,322.925
pounds Of butter, or over 3M pounds
per day for 365 days. This is all the
more remarkable because 1t was
made without her being dry at all
before freshening. No other COW in
the world has ever produced such
an enormous amount Of butter fat in
a yearly test and only one other has
ever exceeded Banostine's milk rec
ord.
During the time that Banostine
Belle De Kol was in test she received
nearly, If not all the time, more or
less ensilago and alfalfa When
available she received roots and a
mixed grain ration, the foundation
of which was bran and oats. The
heavier feeds were varied frequent
ly, according to the condition Of the
nd hot ,;D1>
one time did not seem best at other
times. She was also fed some dried
beet pulp, especially when fresh
roots were not available. Her grain
ration from the first was gradually
increased to 25 pounds, or little
more, but later reduced to as low as
pounds per day. AS near as can
be estimated, the average amount Of
grain fed was II to ID pounds daily.
She also received, when 1t was avail
able, green corn with the stalks and
also green clover and any other
green feed that might be available,
including feed from the pasture. Ba-
nostine Belle De Kol has given birth
to three calves, this record having
been made after the birth Of the
third calf. All of her calves to date
have been heifer calves.
These tests were made under the
careful supervision Of the dairy de-
partment of the Ohio State Univer-
sity. The COW was tested by nine
different persons and was watched
at times day and night, so that the
records are fully verified.

SUMMER SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE MOTHER.
SeasOnable Advice on the Health
of Children i'm Hot Weather..

Mothers should be careful not to
overfeed children during tho hot
months. No one requires as much
food in summer as they do In cold
weather. Serve only the lighter and
more easily digestei foods, and see
that the milk is kept cool and the
fruit ripe.
1t is quite natural to expect some
disturbance, such as constipation,
indigestion, or summer diarrhoea,
often accompanied by cold. A mild
laxative at bed time will, in most
cases, carry of the congested waste
from the stomach next morning and
by cleaning the bowels restore nor
NAL conditions.
Cathartic remedies and purgatives
should never be used for children.
They are harsh and violent In their
action. and tend to upset the entire
system. The combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin, known
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and
sold by druggists for fifty cents
bottle, is now very generally used to
correct stomach and bowel trouble.
1t is mild and pleasant to the taste
and contains no drastic drug, or mar
cotic, but acts naturally and easily,
yet most effectively. A larger bottle.
containing more than twice the guam
tity, Is sold for one dollar. If you
have never used Syrup Pepsin and
would like a free trial bottle, post
paid, write to Dr.. W. b. Caldwell,
406 Washington street, Monticello,

500 Reward, $1OO.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh, being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure Is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in Its curative powers that they
offer one hundred dollars for any
case that 1T fails to cure. Send for

Local Dealer Indispensable.
lPrOgresSiYe Farmor.l

" rug IGSSlS0 II FdIIIlCE.)
The local dealer occupies a place
that nobody else can fill. We know
that in many sections there are more
local dealers than the needs of the
community justify, but nobody need
be afraid that the parcels post will
put the small merchant out of bust
ness. 1t has not done so anywhere
else in the world, and will not in
America. The small dealer Is very
foolish to let anybody stuff him with
such nonsense. In fact, he weakens
his cause by any such argument. For
the merchant to say that it would
be to the advantage OF the farmer
to buy from the mail-Order house In
case the government would only
make fair freight rate through the
parcels post, is an indictment Of the
small merchant, an assertion Of his
incompetence and uselessness,
which we do not accept or endorse
for minute, and which the mer-
chant certainly ought not to.

BIG SHOE TRUsT FORMATION.
Largest Manufacturers Of East Plan
$5O,OOO,OOO Corporation.

Boston, July ga shoe manu-
facturers trust, representing the
leading shoe manufacturers of the
East, will soon be an accomplished
fact.
1t is proposed to consolidate into
one company, under the title of the
American Standard Shoe Company,
with capital Of $50,0O0,0OO, a
strong group of the Eastern manu-
facturers selected from the most sue
cessful manufacturers of New Eng
land and New York.
The scheme to effect such con-
solidation has been under considera-
tion for some time by some Of the
largest houses in the trade, and Is
favored by men who are recognized
throughout New England as leaders
in the industry.
The consolidation proposed will
cover not only the shoe manufacture
ing interests, but it will also bring
within it's scope other allied indus
tries, such as leather, the manufac-
ture of general supplies and lasts. 1t
is also proposed to control the ave-
nues Of distribution to the jobbers
and retailers of the United States.
In the department Of manufacture
the proposed consolidation, accord
ing to it's own plan, will include ap-
proximately fifty factories Of vary
ing capacity scattered in twenty-six
cities in four States now operated
under individual companies.
A cash working capital Of approx
imately $2O,OO0,OOO will be neces-
sary for the vigorous operation of
the consolidated company.
1t is proposed to include in the
consolidation only small percent
age Of 500 or more factories located
in the East and bring into it only
those manufacturers who are recog-
nized for their progressiveness and
commercial vigor, and who are pos
sessed of big capital and complete
equipment.
The legal phases Of the proposed
consolidation have been examined
with counsel and no impediment has
been found to it's consummation.

"STILL, SMALL VOICE" SPEAKS
The Consciencc.Strickcn Last Yea,
Returned $0,514.

Washington, July 27.-The still,
small voice Of conscience, pleading
with Americans who in various ways
had defrauded the United States
Government, brought to the Federal
treasury during the fiscal year Of
1912, just closed, total of $6,514.
This amount came from several
hundred people, the identity Of all
unknown, and made an aggregate of
$431,S01 thus paid into the treas
ury. While it is popularly supposed
that these contributions are placed
in separate fund, or what is famil-
iarly known as the conscience
fund.-" there is, in reality, no such
distinct account piling up in the
vaults of the government. AS the
money Is received it is Immediately
covered into the general fund of the
treasury, and expended the same as
any other receipt.
From Cents to Dollars.
The conscience contributions range
from a few cents to thousands of
dollars. The largest received during
the fiscal year was $4,000, while the
greatest single sum ever received
was $35, 700, a number of years ago.
The anonymous contributions rep
resent payment for customs duties
withheld, undervaluations, the use Of
cancelled postage stamps, and
things, known only to the senderS.
The first contribution was receiv-
ed in 1911, the second in 1927. Fever
since the latter year they have been
coming in with increasing frequency

KILLED IN LONDON HOLACAUsT.

London, July 24.-Seven girls
were killed, five were fatally injured
and several others severely hurt in a
fire to-day in four-story building
In Moor Lane, in the heart Of the
city, occupied by celluloid Christmas
card manufacturers, who employed
many females. The fire started in
front room on the top floor and
spread quickly. To reach the stairs
the girls in the back room had to
pass through the front room, and
before they realized their danger the
flames had cut off the means OF es-
cape.
In few minutes the back room
was ablaZe. Some Of the girls man.

her footing and fcl! Two were over
taken By flames before they gained
the dizzy bridge and large num-
ber leaped from the windows, seve-
raj OF them being horribly mangled.
Five girls were burned to death.
The response of the fire brigade
was prompt, but the swiftness Of the
fire and the fierceness of the. flames
belching from the windows prevented
effective use of the fire escapes.

Agent Worked With Great Secrecy
Throughout the South.

Columbia, July q. Republican
politicians throughout the South are
beginning to compare notes regard
ing the efforts made by he<financial
hackers Of Col. Roosevelt to recruit
delegates to the Republican National
Convention favorable to him. Dis
closures already made and promised
are expected to shed convincing illu-
mination uJon the charges made by
the managers of President Taft in
his fight for the Presidential nomi-
nation that the supporters of Col.
Roosevelt resorted to bribery to Sc
cure the selection of delegates fav-
orable to him Cr the conversion Of
Taft delegates to his cause.
Secret Work in South.
Before the Colonel made his "key-
note" speech on February 21, before
the Ohio Constitutional Convention,
the National Committee made a
hurried trip through the South. His
purpose was to line up as many Of
his associates as possible for Col.
Roosevelt. ..... o..
"You join the Roosevelt movement
and you shall have all the money
you need for campaign purposes and
more,' was the proposition he made
more than three leaders,
To several other Southern leaders
similar propositions were made by
the Roosevelt committeeman One
man claims that he could have had
100000 for his State if he had
Joined the Colonel's forces.
The contest between the Roose-
welt and Taft forces for the South
developed into national scandal.
Democrats and Republicans in South
ging up the details Of the trades that
were offered, and in some instances
made and carried out to the letter.
Failing to win over the leaders,
Col Roosevelts agents undertook to
corral the delegates. McHarg, the
contest lawyer for the third-term
candidacy, started contests in Vir-
ginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Georgia and other Southern
States.
At Chicago, where the contest
waxed warm, afffdavits declaring that
Roosevelt agents had offered money
to win delegates from Taft were
made by Mississippi, Louisiana and
Georgia delegates. Charles Banks,
of Mississippi, handed money to the
Taft managers, which, he declared,
he got from the 7. r. managers, say
ing that he was not for SALE
