The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-01

The American Guernsey Cattle Club
made a careful study OF the results OF
the advanced register work upon the
basis of one-day or two-day test.
This Investigation was undertaken
because of demand made by many
breeders for possible lessening OF
the cost, and with the hope of curtail-
ing the necessity of having the testers
at the farms for so long period each
month.
The result of this investigation was
as follows
COMPARISON OF ONE AND
TWO-DAY TEST.
Forty one COWS selected at random
from 38 herds where advanced register
testing is being done show the follow
ing:
Sixteen COWS gave during the year
an average of 1923 pounds more of
butter fat on one-day test (using first
one-day) than on two-day test.
Twenty five COWS gave during the
year an average OF 5. 10 pounds less
butter fat on a one-day test (using
first day. than on two day test.
The Al COWS gave 10, 1884. 81 pounds
butter-fat with a two-day test.
The Al cows gave 19,O58.37 pounds
butter fat with a one-day test, or an
average of 1.85 pounds less butter-fat
per COW during the year.
Seven COWS varied less than one
pound butter-fat in year; five COWS
less than two pounds; seven COWS
less than three pounds; four COWS less
than four pounds; five COWS less than
five pounds; II COWS between five and
10 pounds; two COWS over 10 pounds.
The least amount of variation in
the Al COWS was IL pound and the two
largest we're 1868 and 1876 pounds
butter fat.
While the above seemed to show
that one-day test was reasonably
effective for the work of the advanced
register, yet the officers felt that 1t
was wise TO obtain data from a much
larger number of cows and submit

| Iiminary milking as the period of
tests, instead of two days. Con-
ferences were held with these associa-
tions and with representatives of the
agricultural experiment stations.
The result of these conferences was
the adoption of practically uniform
set of instructions governing the
supervisors of the testing.
When the question of the relative
cost of a two-day and one-day test
was asked of the experiment stations,
little encouragement of a material
reduction was received.
After considering the matter, the
other clubs decided to continue on a
two-day basis.
The executive board of The Ameri-
can Guernsey Cattle Club are solici-
tous of having their work conducted
under right conditions, yet are also
| anxious to provide means of making
| the work available to all and regard
the primal object of these advanced
registers as being the aid that they
can give to breeders in determining
in the most advantageous manner an
estimate of the comparative value of
their individual animals.
In view of the results of their study
in this matter they have adopted the
rule as given below, thus providing
for those breeders who wish to have
their records made upon the two day
basis, and also providing a one-day
basis for those breeders unable to
| carry the work under the conditions
| heretofore imposed 1t is believed
that by so doing the advanced register
will be of aid to greater number of
| breeders.
Commencing April l, 1913. the rules
of the advanced register for Guernseys
regarding the period of testing each
month is as follows:
The per cent of butter fiat shall be
determined by the Babcock test for
one full day of "a hours, or for two or
more full and consecutive days of "a

Baby Cant Accom-
pany Mother
To The Pen

Atlanta, Ga, August 30.-The
prison commission has decided
that when Mrs. Sylvia Faulkner
Hawkins, of Gainesville, is carried
to the penitentiary to begin a life
term for killing her husband, her
three year old son must remain
behind. He may have to enter an
orphan asylum unless some of his
kinspecple take charge of him.
This is the first time in a number
of years that SUCH q question in
regard to white child has arisen.
Sometimes very young babies are
allowed to remain with their moth
ers until some arrangements can
be made for them and for years a
colored woman was regularly en-
ployed to take charge of all young
colored children.
Barlow Cantrell and Jim Cam
troll have been sentenced to hang
for the murder of Hawkins, while
his wife was given a life term,

Let The Woman Have As
Many improvements
As The Former Has

Necessity has largely emanci-
pated the man. Invention made
it cheaper and better to use the
mower, the binder, the corn har-
vester, the windmill, the gaso-
line engine, the shredder, the
siIo, the riding plow. the manure
spreader. The cream separator
and the milking-machine are
making the wife's work easier,
too, and so are many other things.
But in many things the inven-
tions of today have not been
placed in the woman's hands,
The time has now come when
we must move the flag of wo-
mans comfort up to that planted
for the men. Any farm that can
afford a silo can afford electric
light or gas, the vacuum cleaner,
the dish washer and the washing
machine. Any farm that can af-
ford a gas-engine can afford a
bathroom and an interior closet,
And any farm that can afford a
manure spreader and a hayfork
in the barn can afford running
water in the kitchen.
It's matter of looking at the
question in the right way. 1t
also means giving the woman a
square deal. And in the main
it's a matter of the women them
selves thinking of these things
as attainable necessities. Farm
and Fireside.

Abba Items.

Hezekiah Hunter, of Missis-
sippi, who is now on a visit to
his old home and birthplace on
Howse Creek in Ben Hill county,
was highly complimented by his
nephews and neices and friends,
the Hunter boys, the Downing
boys, all his nephews, giving him
a picnic and barbecue dinner on
his seventy third birthday at the
springs at the head Of Bowen's
Mill pond. The dinner was
success in every particular, plenty
and to spare and an abundance
left. The matrons and cooks of
the community know how to pre-
pare a good dinner. Geo. Roberts,
Mr.. Garrison and others know
how to cook and barbecue Gs
the taste, and seemingly al
joyed the day to the fullest ex.
tent.
Quite a humber of the boys
went in bathing.
At II o'clock D. L. Martin, Of
Fitzgerald. in a short and pre-
else way, introduced the Rev. J.
A. Tomberlin to address the gath
ering upon the trouble of the war.
which he did in manner that
was pleasing to all, and at.the
conclusion of his address he call
ed upon the Rev. Swords to lead
in prayer, after which dinner was
spread and all ate to their salts
faction. After dinner it was pro-
posed to have a speech from Mr..
Martin, but a shower of rain came
up which forbid, which was the
only break in the pleasures of the
day.
Hezakiah Hunter was mem
Der of Co. E, 49th Ca, and it
did the young people good to
hear him and Henry J. Stone,
Henry Barrett and John A. Tom
berlin tell about the war and its
dangers and hardships.
