ADVANTAGE OF cow TESTING
Wide Difference in Product of Animals
Shown by Trials Made at the
Nebraska Station.

At the Nebraska experiment station
the different COWS in the dairy herd
were tested. The result showed that
there is wide difference in the prod
uct OF the COWS of the same breed.
We Will not mention the breed under
the experiment but will leave that
matter as some might feel sensitive
VINO may be breeding the same breed
OF cows.
III the case mentioned it was found
that one COW gave 1888 pounds OF
MIX during the period OF lactation
and the milk tested $40 butter fat.
Another COW in the herd gave 1877
POUNDS or milk during the period
OF lactatiCn which tested 2S2 butter
fat
III hguring on the cost OF produc.
ing, as an accurate account was kept
OF all the food each COW consumed,
ana the value of all the labor. be-
slowed In caring for ard feeding the
animals, 1t was found that the first
COW returned $417 for each dollars
worth or feed She consumed. On the
other hand. the COW that gave 1877
POUNDS OF milk only returned 80
cents for each dollars worth OF feed
she consumed. Now, it does not re-
cure an expert i'll figuring to prove
the great value Of testing the cows in

Vi ieeu she consumed Is not alone in
that kind of husi,asc There ara
oy iar too many cows kept that are
not paying for their food Let dairy
men give this matter OF testing more
consideration and by all means
weigh the milk; keep track of the
amount OF milk the COWS give per
day; per week: per month: and dur
ing the whole period of lactation.

timing that will build up and help conserve
and retain the richness of the soil.
No matter how unfavorable the season
for the grain crop, there is enough feed
for the stock and that the weekly cream
cry check or the fatted stock in the fall
is going to prevent loss under the policy
you have issued. Best of all is the idea
that you are doing something worth
while. That you are the means of put
ting this man on his feet and starting
him on the road to success and that YOU
have been factor in the betterment OF
your community. Incidental TO this, and
no less satisfactory, will be the growth
of individual and end general wealth re.
hected in increased deposits and business
ia your bank.
Let me give nn illustration that has
come under my personal observations
In the town where was born were two
grain elevators tweniyhv years ago
and very little live stock was raised.
Twenty years ago the last elevator was
closed, since which time not a bushel of
grain has heen shipped from thar town,
Every year quite number of cars of
corn are shipped in to supply the cattle
feeders, for not enough corn is raised for
local consumption. Every farmer there
has some hogs and cattle, through which
is marketed practically all the prod CTS
OF the farms and the proof of the eff.
cheney of this method OF farming, if any
is needed, is shown in the well kent
places and fine buildings and by the de-
posts in banks. What is true of that
community is also true of practically
the entire country. With no large towns
and but twelve banks in the county the
;o'a' deposits are now SIS 800 900 and this
is the answer for the change that the
farmers made. Field 4 Farm.

TWO CRIPPLED IN
 HUNTING MISHIP Westport Trolleymen Injured When Two Barrels of Shot gun AreAccidentIy Dis

 Leg By AmputatiOn
Especial to The Farmer.y

Especial to The Eafmer1
 Westport, Oct. 17-In the accident al discharge of both barrels of a, shot gun at Lees mill pind, late yesterday two local conductors of the Connectt- cut Company were painfully injured Ernest Baker employed on the Cofnpo line, lost his left hand, and Walter Duffy, conductor on the North Main street line, was shot in the left leg, above the knee, and so ma1fgled by the charge of shot that it is feared amputat1on of the limb may be in- evitab1e. Both men are unmarried. They are under the care of Dr. Frank H. McLaury, at their home in this town.
 The trolIeyrnen were returning from a hunting trip to the north of the town, and at Lees pond they climbed into a~rowboat to cross the pond and avoid a long trip. Baker carried the shotgun. As he stepped into the boat, he held it by the muzzle. Swinging it into the boat he accidentally hit the hammers against the edge of the little craft.
 Both barrels exploded, the charges tearing Bakers hand off from the middle of the palm. and part of the shot entering Duffyss left leg and sew eral shot penetrating his hand. A farmer, nearby. heard the heavy ex- plosion and the shouts of the injured men, and hurrying to the scene, pro-, vided temporary bandages and then hastened to get a conveyance in which he hurried the suffering men to the town where they were attended at pr. McLaury's office.
 Both Baker and Duffy are popular young men. and news of their mishap aroused widespread sympathy.

smek;na in Winter.

A physician writing to kAe Eaufly Doctor Qondonl says that smoking has a worse effect on most people in win ter than fin summer, and he advises all smokers who find their health and mental faculties impaired in winter for no apparent reason to accept tobacco aS the explanation and to cut down their smoking during the colder months. Tobacco, he says, is a pow eEful drug and cannot be consumed in large quantities without producing a certain effect on the heart. It must be remembered that during the winter the heart has great deal more work to do than in summer. for the cold causes the blood vessels to become small and p4nched- It is thus less able to bear the extra strain put upon 1t by smok. ing

CHARITIES BOARD TO
 URGE NEW ALMSHOUSE

Officials of the Department of Chari- ties began their campaign today in behalf of the proposed new almshouse, a question that they hope to be en- abled to have brought before the vot- CTS at the coming election. The fol- lowing letter was mailed to the chair men of the Democratic, Republican, Prohibition, Socialist and Progressive parties by Clerk Thomas F. Cox.
 The Board of Charities at their meeting of October 16th, passed res- olution requesting that your party take official notice in your platform of the need for a new aImshouse, The Board feels very keenly that this is in no sense a partisan measure bat one upon whic all the parties and all the citizens of Bridgeport should unite. Matters have come to a pass where failure to provide new buildings may at any time result in a public calamity.
 The members of your organization and citizens in general are cordially invited to familiarize themselves at first hand with conditions as they exist. Lakeview Home is open at all times for public inspection but spe- ciaI invitation is extended for the ten days immediately preceding election which the Board has arranged as spe- cial visiting days.

The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-10-16

| Every man, woman and child in
the south is urged by DR.. DIN
West of Nashville, state director
of rural sanitation, to visit the
National Conservation Exposition,
Knoxville, and there to study and
benefit by the exhibits shown. In
an article written over his own
signature-an article entirely
voluntary on the part of DR.. West,
he says:
I Really wonderful exhibits go
/ to make up the Conservation
Exposition. 1t is a real pity that
every citizen of Tennessee and the
south, who is able to think, can
not see these exhibits. Of course,
the fellow who is looking for idle
amusement and is anxious to avoid
the expenditure of any mental
energy will not be greatly benefit
ed by his rapid passage through
the educational exhibits, though he
should get his moneys worth in
seeing the AMUSEMENT featurs.
by viewing these exhibits |
cannot see how any man who is
interested in his fellow men and in
the welfare of his state and fail to
receive instructions and a widened
view of good world. Il have no
hesitation in saying that no health
exhibit in this country has APP
preached that now in place in
Knoxville in completeness or in
any other way. The exhibit is
comprehensive, attractive, simple
and reliably educational.
Il do not know what the cost of
the public health and child well
fare exhibit has been to the ex-
position, but feel very sure that
| it will bring more returns than
can be secured from the invest
ment of like sum elsewhere,
provided the people see it and
study it. | sincerely hope that
the people will be quick to realize
the opportunities for profit, per-
sonal and otherwise, that the ex-
position offers"
The health exhibit to which DR..
West refera is the same exhibit
that attracted the attention of
Clifford Pinchot and was the SUBJ
ject of much praise from this
noted conservationist. The party
Of visiting congressman who saw
it a few days ago were also loud
in their praises Of this feature of
the greatest educational exposi-
ton the country ever has seen.
