Time has been when statesmen on

l the science of aviation since Or
vile Wright made the first public
flights in a heavier-than-air machine
at Fort Myer, Va, in 1908. is the sub
ject of a statement compiled by the
war department and just made public.
Although the honor of inventing and
utilizing the aeroplane belongs to the
United States, it is disclosed that vir-
tually all the advances made in the
utilization Of the air machines have
been accomplished by foreign airmen,
principally Frenchmen.
In 1909, the records show, the great
est height attained by a heavier-than-
air machine was 1,45O feet. The mark
now stands at more than 10000 feet,

Frenchmen Are Leaders in Navigation of the Air

while the height of something over
10000 has been attained by a dirigibIe
balloon. The aeroplanes, however.
have demonstrated that they can
rise higher and much more rapidly
than the balloon type of air craft, and
for that reason their efficiency in a
military sense is regarded as much
greater.
In both speed and duration of
fight the strides since 1909 have been
remarkable. In that year the speed
record was 4S miles an hour, while
the length of time that a machine
kept in the air was 4 hours and II
minutes. The present record for
speed now is 1889 miles per hour
made by Verdines of France, while an
other Frenchman, Tourney, raised the
record for duration fight to Is hours
and II minutes.
Busson, still another Frenchman,
also recently established a record for
speed with passengers With five per
sons with him in his machine he made
81 miles an hour in sustained fight.
The war department records show
that six persons have been carried to
a height Of 1858 feet.

istry says, is the best made by a
HOlstein Of the age. 1t put Maid
Henry in a class with forty Of the
finest of her family, all with more
than zoo pounds of butter fat to their
credit in a year
College Maud, pure-bred Ayrshire,
10 years old, yielded 1927 pounds of
milk and 533 pounds of butter fat, or
622 pounds of butter, last year.
While the entire record is not phe-
nomenal, it does, nevertheless, pre-
sent three COWS that gave an average
of 73S pounds of butter in a year.
Any one of the lot would be a fine
possession for family, and the three
would provide a fairly generous liv-
ing. Add to these records the good
work of Blossom Mechthilde II, q B.
year-old Holstein: 90 pounds Of but
ter in a month-nine and three quar-
ter gallons of milk in day-and you
have a rather attractive little bunch
of cows
All of which may emphasize the
fact that, with good care, and the feed
that any intelligent farmer can pro-
vide, dairy COWS are a good asset
The COWS at the agricultural college
had no extraordinary rations- There
was no secret system-there never is

and common sense, with proper food:
Given these, and the proper kind of

smack Of superstitious origin" he
said. IF a load of bricks should fall
from a fifth story window on to the
head of a man who happened to be
walking under a ladder he would get
twice as much damages as if the lad
der were not there. The element of
bad luck that attaches to a ladder
would insensibly influence every
juror, and the sum awarded would re-

~HE OWLS DESIGN, a puTe-bred
Jersey COW owned by the Kansas
Agricultural College, is the first
Jersey in Kansas to produce more
than zoo pounds Of butter in a year.
This COW completed a years record
March II. In the twelve months she
gave 1896 pounds OF milk and $50
pounds of butter fat, which is equiv
alent to 758 pounds of butter.
The record of 1906 pounds of milk
classes The Owls Design with the
first seven Jersey COWS of the world.
Only six COWS have made more than
this amount; and the worlds jersey
record is only 1928 pounds.
The Owls Design was not born in
Kansas, but she was for time own
ed by r. J. Linscott of HOlton, Kan.
Her years record before coming TO
