WHAT SCIENTIFIC
DA|RY|NG IS DOING
THE RESPECTIVE VALUE OF cows
SHOWN BY WORK or EXPERT
MENT STATIONS.

The average farmer has but little
idea of the wide difference there is
in cows or in the systems of manage

ceususes. the farmers were greatly
surprised at the difference in results
ns between different herds. That
shows that to the mind of the average
farmer the yield per cow or per head is
as he supposes about. the same. Yet
II Is quite common to find one hard
making double or more than double
the cfear profft that one may be on
an adjoining farm.
Even on experiment station farms.
whore everything is supposed to be
done scientifically, they demonstrate
Il wonderful difference in cows
The Minnesota station found COWS
while alongside OF them other cows re-
turned only SS.1s, after deducting the
cost of feed which was the same in
each case.
The Michigan station found It's cows
varied from ss-1s to sa4.B6. after the
feed cost was reckoned. The New Jer-
sey station shows that estimating milk
worth 81 per cwt., their cows varied
Connecticut station figures show a
difference as between the poorest and
the hest cows or s2.7s to s54.72.
Now there are thousands OF farmers
who are keeping these low paying cows

WEATHER RETARDS
TOBACCO MARKET
OFFERINGS THE PAST WEEK
SMALL, THOUGH THE OUT
LOOK Is GOOD.

Continuation Of dry weather for the
past several weeks has initiated
against ordering of the dark tobacco
crop, and in consequence the offer
iRgs the past week were very light.
Sales of loose leaf on the Richmond
market aggregated about 800, 600
pounds last week, and considering the
quality of the weed offered on the
breaks, the prices held up well.
Weather of the past few days gives
promise of an exceptionally good sea-
son within the next few days. and
warehousemen are expecting very
heavy offerings for at least two weeks
TO come,
There il no question among those in
touch with the situation that the sea
son which will soon come to close
will have broken all records both for
the amount of tobacco sold and the
prices paid.
