fine looking cows do not bring in

Cow testing helps to discover
the great difference in persistency
of the milk flow.
Cow testing brings to notice
the slightest variation in flow
and urges one to seek for the
cause of the shrinkage.
Cow testing helps to increase
the total yield of milk and fat
from the same number of cows.
Cow testing brings in larger
returns from fewer cows.
Cow testing helps to build up
Profitable herd quickly, because
heifers can be selected from the
best cows.
Cow testing allows more dis.
elimination in feeding, appor-
tioning the grain according to
the yield of butter-fat.
Cow testing emphasizes the
benefit of liberality in feeding
succulent, digestible foodstuffs.
Cow testing abundantly proves
that it pays handsomely to give
dairy cows the best of care and
kind treatment.
Cow testing demonstrates
that a great many good cows can
be kept at a smaller cost of feed.
This is not stinginess, but econ
omy.
Keeping records makes one
more observant of all those little
details that go to make up sue
cess.
Because COW testing develops
this faculty of observation and
induces reading and study, MEM
bers of associations are becoming
far better dairymen.
"There is a great stimulus re-
ceived from comparing notes and
results with other members.
THE hired men take more in
terest in the cows; consequently
they give them better attention
and get more milk.
''Neighboring farmers who or
iginally scoffed at the idea OF
COW testing have become i'm
pressed with the results obtained
by members.
"A great measure of personal
satisfaction results from study.
ing each COW as an individual
performer, not as a mere machine.
Cow testing increases ones
love for good cows, and creates
infinitely more pleasure in the
work of the farm.
1.-THE definite knowledge OBJ
tanned from the regular monthly
testing is much more satisfactory
in every way than getting an
occasional result only once or
twice a year.
Financially, COW testing is of
very great benefit; young bulls
sell for higher prices; cows sell
for double the old prices when
buyers see records.
Cow testing not only interests
the boys and girls more and more
in farm life, hut materially as

comforts for the women and

DENY RATE RAISES,
ADVICE OF THORN{
Iowa Commissioner Declares
Railroads Are Already Near
"Pampering" Point.

Prophesying that before the railroad
appraisal just begun by the Federal
Government shall have been COM
pleted, the Government ownership of
the railroads will be one of the great
political issues of the day. Clifford
Thorne, chairman of the Iowa rail
road commission. sounded a warning
at the convention of State railroad
commissioners today against granting
the petition of the Eastern railroads
for an increase in freight rates.
Touching on the Government own
ership question. Mr.. Thorne declared
that the United States Government
could purchase the outstanding rail-
road securities at par. issue per
cent bonds to get the money neces-
sary, and then save enough annually
out of dividends on stocks and inter
est on bonds to rebuild the railroads
and distribute 500, 100000 annually in
higher wages to labor, without in
creasing freight rates one cent
Terms Rate Increase "Pampering."
In making these assertions he dis
claimed any intention of favoring
Government ownership at the present
time. He said he was merely calling
attention to the danger which he saw
in further pampering the roads by al
lowing rate increases of $4,000, ,00e,
which, if applied to all the railroads,
would cost the country $loO,VoO,OOO a
year. While four-fifths of the civilized
nations of the world have govern
ment-owned railroads, he said, rail-
roadinE in the United States, "beilnS
done with ar eye mainly on the
stock market" is costing the people
more than s40G, OG0, 900 a year, which.
he held, is the saving the people could
make If they should buy the roads
through a bond issue and operate
them themselves.
Giving figures to illustrate his point,
he quoted the Interstate Commerce
Commission figures to show the value
of the outstanding securities of all
American railroads at Sic, ,2S6, ,i01 9i1. The
market value of American roads he es-
timated to be s13.969, la, ,3SS based on a
statistician's report on thirty-fiVe rail-
roads. For the year ending June 80,
1912, he said, the total dividend and i'll
terest payments was $3.50, ,2l5, 3Sl. The
Government could operate these roads
n a net saving of s464,0O0,00O annually,
he said.
Greatest Issue Ever Brought"
Mr.. Thorne warned his fellow commits
sioners ard the members of the Inter1
slate Commerce Commission that the
work they are entering upon of making
a physical valuation of the railroads is
the greatest issue that ever was brought
before a human tribunal. The conclu-
sions reached are going to control all
future controversies involving general
rate increases or reductions, he declared,
and will form the basis for any possible
purchase by this or a succeeding gen.
Grafton.
The entire morning session of the
convention was given over to a discus
sion of the subject of railroad valua-
ton. Dr. Milo R. Maltbie. of New
York, presented a report of the COM
mittee on railroad taxes and plans for
ascertaining fair valuation of railroad
property, which was discussed from
varying angles by several of the State
commissioners
