More Profit For Bryan.

Here is an announcement by W.
J. Bryan, secretary of state, regard
ing his publication, the Commoner.
AS an incident to the Democratic
victory l have been invited to be-
come a member of the Presidents
official family, and, as his represen-
tative in one of the departments of
the Government, am brought into
contact with international problems
As a member of the Cabinet, too,
l enjoy the opportunity of partici-
pating in the discussion of such prob
lens as the President sees fit to bring
before that body.
AS an exponent of the plans and
purposes of the Administration the
Commoner can accomplish even more
as a monthly than it could as a
weekly. Administrative and legis-
lative plans develop gradually, and
there is no need of haste in meet
ing the criticisms that may be di-
rected against the programme of the
party now in authority. The Com
moner will be able to present to it's
individual readers, and through its
multitude of exchanges to a still
larger audience, the Governments
side of the questions under discus
sion. w. ]. BRYAN.
This is a straight appeal to the
public for more patronage of his pa
per, which he operates for personal
profit on account of his holding a
public Office. The same argument
is used to advertise him as a public
speaker and he has recently an
nounced that he shall continue to
speak as he has opportunity. 1t may
be Pres. Wilson will retain Mr.. Bry-
an is his cabinet and allow him to ex-
plot his public office for private gain
but if he does he will not measure
up to what the public expects of him.

for the year ending June 80, 1913,

Cow Testing Again.

In an interesting editorial on
milk and Butter Possibilities the
Vermont Phoenix gives the results of
the first COW testing association in
the United States (The Newaygo
County Dairy Testing Association of
Michigan) as follows
"The first year the members
owned 1899 COWS, which they
thought the finest of animals.
These cows produced an average of
-215 pounds of butter fat year each.
The average profit per COW was
$2O.99. At the end Of the fourth
year the 272 COWS in the association
produced on an average 264.5
pounds of butter fat and yielded an
average profit of $4O.44 per cow"
We suspect the figures 272 as the
number of COWS in the association
at the end of the fourth year is
typographical error as it does not
seem probable the number of cows
would be decreased to that extent.
But the significant fact of these fig
ures is that the average yield of but
ter fat per COW was raised from 215
pounds to 2645 pounds and the pro-
fit per cow nearly doubled in four
years.
Notwithstanding all the evidence
that COW testing associations are
very profitable to the farmer we have
ty to organize one. How long will
it be before some one gets the cour-
age to begin an actual organization

of COWS in this section?

T. ]. Tierney has been appointed
superintendent of horses and appli-
cations for stalls should be made to
him.
Harold Penniman has been ap-
pointed superintendent of poultry
and Ernest Morrill, will be chief mar
shall.
In the poultry department special
ribbons will be given in most of the
classes in addition to the regular
cash premium for the best single
male and the best single female
entry of them; in additional sweep
stakes rosettes will be given for each,
the best male and female, land fowl
and water fowl. A number of special
cash prizes are also offered, particu-
lars of which will be furnished by
the superintendent.
A new road is being built east of

This shows how unreliable Null

tempting to build up a line of evil
dence on a false foundation. When
