Faults of OmciaI Bill

Supervising Cream Tests

There is another proposition suggest
ed, not by the state association, which
would require every person testing
milk and cream to pass an examination
with the state dairy bureau. There is
this to be said in its favor, that test
ling cream ought to be done just so
and many testers in creamerles have
individual methods of working that are
not as accurate as they should be. Put
ting the testing of cream and milk un-
der bureau supervision ought to mean
better methods, more accurate appa-
ratuS and possibly more honest tests.
But when you come down to the root
Of the matter there is the possibility
Of too much regulation. The present
administration Of the dairy bureau IS
moderate and is more concerned with
helping. the dairymen than playing to
the public, while new officials in any
line are likely TO try to show their
efficiency by tearing things wide open.
Under a good administration the more
regulation the better, under poor onc
the less regulation the better.

Holstein Milk Richer

The gradually increasing richness 0!
Holstein milk has been referred TO be-
fore in these columns. It is interesting
to note that progress continues TO be
rapid in this line. The average test Of
the cows in the latest report Of the
Holstein Friesian Association is 3.56,
much higher than the breed was sup
posed to do. Yet it is noteworthy that
nearly all the leaders We're we'll above
this average The leaders in two OF
the classes tested gave over per cent
ter, and only in the aged cow class did
the best producing cow give milk that
contained only 3.3 pounds Of fat per
100 pounds of milk. The average test
Of the leaders was 3.S3 per cent fat.
Ayrshires Doing Noby
The Ayrshire breeders are also doing
nobly. 1t was once said that the Ayr
shire was especially adapted for milk
production. The latest list of records
indicates that this breed is well entitled
to be called butter producers The av-
erage Ayrshire cow gives milk that is
the barest fraction less than four
pounds of fat per 100 pounds of milk
and in the different ages the old cows
given yearly tests produce about AS
pounds of butter fat per year, the four
year-old form 377.7 pounds, the three
year-old form 1856 pounds, the two
year old form 1921 pounds. The way
that all the dairy breeds are doing
shows just one main thing and that
is that it is good breeding, the culling
out Of poor cows and good care that
gives such results as are recorded.
With these examples before us con-
linually the advantages of breeding,
selection and care are too apparent to
need remark.
Thoroughbreds in the running
The automobile may be here. the
drafter may hold our admiration at the
state and county fairs and as a sire
for the farm colts, but the thorough
bred is still in the running and is run
ming strong. The Woodland stock
farm, IolO county, has just received
10 Of the finest brood mares that were
put up at the Old Glory mid winter sale
at New York and a number of others
are to arrive the first of the month.
An announcement has been made by
u. o. Lively, chief of the live stock de-
partment Of the exposition, that ar
are rapidly being made for
the finest racing meetings ever held al
a worlds fair. Plans are also on foot
in which breeders of thoroughbreds
standard hreds, Morgans, Arabians,
hackneys, American saddle horses and
hunters will be Interested The draft
breed associations like the other breed
associations are making great prepara-
tons.
Among the sheep breeds the follow
ing associations have made apprOpria-
lions for awards: Hampshires, $1,000:
$1,000; Catswolds, $500:
$500: DOrsets, $500
swine will have $4,000 10
iivide from the breed association, Berk-
5hires $1,000 and Iorkshires $500. This
S aside entirely from the prize money
offered by the exposition and by the
several states, and while we are on
hat subject, the bill apprOpriating
money for prizes to California breed
ers is up before The legislature ard a
person does not have to be a pure
Dred man to see that California breed
,rs and California agriculture is treated |
properly. While interested in the other |
bills it is up to us to see that This |
goes through.

LIVE crock Morxs

Pacific Rural Press: Since the state
specially provides recess
Of the legislature so that Legislators and
their constituents can mentally digeet
the mass Of bills introduced, it is wise
to think about few Of the propositions
brought up touching live stock matters.
Aside from the dairy bill put up by the
State Dairy Association there are one
or two other bills that need looking
into.
One would prevent the sale of any
cattle found to be affected with tu-
berculosis. II does not provide at al
for compulsory testing. but whenever
the test was used and some COWS re-
acted they would naturally come under
the scope of the law. Also the state
veterinarian is authorized by a physical
examination to declare COW tubercu
lar. This bill on the face Of it seems
good and there is evidently lots 20
be said on either side, and if anybody
finds special fault he better make the
reasons known for his opposition. One
of the worst things is the fact that
there would likely be more or less pub
licity in the enforcement and what the
newspapers do not do to a dairyman
when they get the slightest excuse is
not worth doing. On the whole. since
nobody will buy cattle with tuberculo-
sis unless they have good reason for
SO doing. it looks as there were not
great reason for The law and it Is
good rule to follow TO pass no law
that there is not big need for.

the only parts which will be taken from
the tract as a fact, as Mr.. Windsor
bought the balance as an investment.

MILFORD GRANGE.

Last Saturdays meeting of the Mil

the members held a lengthy and inter
esting discussion which had for its topic
subjects brought forth by the State
Grange Meeting, which met in Milford
last week. The Milford Grangers are
more than pleased by the manner in
which the open meetings of the state
Grange were attended by persons other
than Grangers, and feel that the hold
inc of that meeting in Milford will re-
su1t in an increased membership for the
local organization. All of the sessions
were both interesting and instructive.
At Saturdays meeting, the Grange by
a unanimous vote expressed their appre-
citation of the interest shown IN their

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN MILFORD STORES
COMPROMISE SUGGESTED
over COLLECTORSHIP

The Every Evening in its issue of
Dec. 18th, has the following to say con-
corning the appointment of collector
A suggestion has been under consld-
GRAFTON by the members Of the Maryland
delegation in Congress which may end
the controversy between this State and
Delaware over the collectorship Of inter-
nal revenue.
Such an arrangement would permit the
appointment of Alfred Raughley, Sena-
tor Saulsbury's candidate, to the Della
ware Office and that OF a Marylander to
collect the excise and income taxes of
his State.
incidentally, it would relieve the Presi-
dent and Secretary McAdOo of much en-
barrassment. Both have been much con-
cerned over the appointment. For many
reasons they have wanted to accommodate
Senator Salisbury. yet they have not de-
sired to invite the resentment of Mary
land by the naming of Delawarean to
the most important Federal Office in that
State.
Representative ]. Harry Covington is
already making a study of the status Of
the collectorship bill introduced some
time ago, authorizing the President to
create, by executive order, new collec-
tion districts, when, in his judgment,
conditions made such action desirable.
This bill, it seems. was introduced at
a previous session of Congress ana passed
one House. 1t may be resurrected and
again pressed for action. And if it re-
ceives the support of Secretary McAdOo
it will doubtless be favorably considered
by many leaders in the House and Senate.
Under the proposed plan the head
quarters of one district would be located
at Baltimore, as at present. and the
other at Wilmington.
In the MARYLAND district would be all
of the State west of the Chesapeake Bay
and the District of Columbia. The Della
ware district would include all of Della
ware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and perhaps the Eastern Shore of Nir-
ginia.
The work of collecting the income tax.
which the new law placed upon the col
| lectors of internal revenue, will be urged
as the principal reason why the district
should be split up. Enough revenue is
to be collected from this source, it is be-
/ lieved, to warrent a division of the ter
ritory now embraced in the Maryland
district.

crat to succeed John B. Hanna at Balti-

against the nomination of Mr.. Raughley
succeeded to the extent of holding up the
appointment The endorsement given
William H. Bryan of Baltimore county,
however, has not been impressive enough
to place him very far ahead in the race.
1t has been intimated more than once
at the White House that the collector
ship appointment may not be made un-
/ til Blair Lee takes his seat in the Senate.

The DELAWARE FARMER.

With the close of college, owing to the
holidays, Saturday, Delaware College
will enter upon a new era in its career
of eighty years, for on that duy The
Delaware Farmer" will make its first
appearance. The Farmer is published
by the agricultural students of the col
Iege, and will be the first truly agricul-
tural paper published in the State. As
the appeal of the paper will be to the
farmers of the State rather than to the
students, it is sure of a hearty recep-
ton. The first number will contain ar
ticles by members of the experimeI t
station staff, and of the faculty as well,
and reports on experiments and timely
information by the students. In line
with the papers policy to give more
than full value, the board of managers
have thrown out all advertising matter
of irresponsible firms. AS such matter
make up large part of most agricul--
tural journals, the Farmer" will be of
much greater value to the country
gentlemen" of the State.

RECEIVED FINE CALENDAR.

The editor of the Chronicle this week
received a fine calendar from the Della
ware College authorities, in which there
are some interesting pictures pertaining
to the college. For the past few years
it has been the custom of the college to
get up these calendars and sell them
among the student body, many of the
students using them for Christmas pres
ents. The college officials usually re-
member the state editors at the same
time. The front of the calendar is of
solid leather, on which is printed the
picture of the new Joe Frazier Field.
E. A. Wright, of Philadelphia, is the
firm who got the calendar in shape, and
it is a ere ditable job in every respect.
