A Dairy Profit Test.

A recent report of the Wisconsin
agricultural college shows that the
dairy herds of that station, after
standing a cost of $65.72 for feed
returned an average net profit of
nearly $50 per COW in the year 1910
1911. The cost of maintaining a
dairy Cow at the same Station in
1905-1906 was S4l.05. or approx
mately $25 less than in 1910-1911.
Notwithstanding this increase in the
cost of maintenance, the station
herd yielded the above profit the
past year.
Contrary to public opinion this
herd. like that of all other college
herds, has had no special advant-
ages. In fact from the standpoint
of economy of T-"'Ho+io~. station
herds have mauy uu,4 ,VduLagcS.
The limited amouL; -. and avaIla-
BILE for the mainten,. "a o. a station
herd often necessltates the pur.
chasing OF the larger part of the
concentrates of the ration, than the
growing of these or some substitute
and thereby reducing the cost to a
minimum.I
In the above herd one Jersey and
one Holstein gave a net profit of
$l2950 and $12761 respectively.
Only seven of the entire herd re-
turned a profit than $40 each, while
the lowest returns from any individ-
ual COW was $2479. The average
fat production was 35477 lbs. This
yield was unusually high. and still
when one is reminded that she av-
erage dairy COW produces only $50
to IT'S lbs of butter-fat per year it
is easy to explain why it is possible
to make a profit of $50 per COW
with a production of 1855 lbs. of but
ter-fat, even though the cost of
feed be $65.72 per COW. In addi-
ton to the profits made from the
sale of butter-fat, the sale of the
pure bred offspring amounted to
approximately $780,

One might say that it doesn't

younger generation believe our
stories or not, but just the same
when young America hints at one

old Jim's windy tales it hurts.
But started u say something
about what happened before the
war as ! remember it. 1t seemed
to me that the worst thing that
menaced society especially local
government, was horse stealing.
1t is true other crimes we're heard
of. For instance, old Joe Mosley
was accused Of numbering his
daughter and throwing the baby
into Salt river, and a prominent
farmer was suspected Of robbing
the little Jew peddler and drowning
him in Black Creek. Highway rob-
berry was frequently heard of but
horse stealing over Swallowed every
thing else and to call a man a horse
thief was the extreme limit and
was only INDUCED in by those who
we're foolhardy enough to risk the
consequences. When a small boy
and living only a few miles from
where Monroe City is now located,
our neighborhood was menaced by
what seemed a regular organized
band of horse thieves. So common
was this crime that finally the bet
ter class o. citizens banded them
selves together and many secret
meetings were held to devise ways
and means to rid the neighborhood
of this class of desperadoes Mob
law was frequently suggested and
in a few instances was INDUCED in
to limited extent. One instance
of this | remember distinctly. There
lived in our neighborhoOd a we'll
to.do farmer whom for convenience
we shall call Hobson. Now while
Hobson had an interesting family
consisting of a wife and several
girls and boys, and seemed prosper
Gus, nothing could be learned of his
antecedents. He or his family sell
dom talked of the past, but it was
agreed they were royal entertainers.
Hobson seemed, however, to have
a large number of friends to visit
him from a distance. Men came
and went but the neighbors seldom
had the honor of meeting these
strangers. 1t was not strange that
the neighbors became suspicious
and took note of everything posi-
BILE that transpired about the Hob
son home. Finally when a we'll
dressed gentleman appeared at the
Hobson home claiming to be Hob

possible to rid the community of

THE AWAKENING.

The religious experts who were brought TO Den
yer in behalf of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement have departed to other fields of work
and their departure has been followed by storm of
protest from the pastors of those churches who have
been wallowing in the luxury that has been heaped
upon them by the rich pew-holders that have for
years blinded them to their duty to their God and
to humanity.
From different pulpits the well-kept savers of
souls have belched forth their disapprova of the
utterances of the Revs. Strayer and Alexander At
tenfion has been called to how appropriate is the
name of Strayer;" doubt has been east on his past
record the departed representatives of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement have been called hypo-
crits and fanatics who have told false truths: and
even the official paper of the Catholic Church. the
Catholic Herald, has spoken in the bitterest terms
of the evangelists.
We pause to ask What is the church-of any de-
nomination-doing for the masses in the struggle
for existenceg There is great work to be done in
this country--as well in every other country
by the church. but few of the church-men dare to
speak out against the conditions that exist today
else they bribed to silence by the fat salaries
they receive for filling the pulpits and saying things
the Lords day that will comfort the feelings of
those who conspire against their brothers and sisters
every other day.
The editor of The Bulletin was asked to tell the
workers for the Forward Movement why the church
and labor not in harmony. At Trinity church
on Monday of last week attempted to do so. but
time and again we were interrupted by Dean H.
Martyr Hart, who did not to have repeated the
words that the daily press quotes him having said

BREWERY WORKERS
PRESENT CONTRACT.

Last Saturday the three locals of the
United Brewery Workmen and the Steam
Engineers local presented their new
contracts to the Colorado Brewers Asso-
citation. The present contracts expire on
May LIST. In the case of the engineers
the present contract has been in force
for the last five years, while the con-
tracts for the United Brewery Workmen
has been in operation for three years.
This is the first time in history that
the two organizations have submitted
the contracts jointly. This was brought
about through a decision of the A F. Of
l.. in order to avoid conflict between
these two organizations in the future.
and one of the stipulations of the con-
tracts is that all contracts must oe
signed. or none will be accepted.
The contract of the United Brewery
workmen demands about a Is per cent
increase in wages and also makes some
change in minor point. The Engineers
demand principally a raise in wages and
one day OF In seven. This is a move on
the part of the Engineers TO establish a
six-day working week for engineers and
a strong fight on that point is antici-
pated by the union.
All these contracts have been en-
dorsed by the respective International
unions and local central bodies.
