One Of the most encouraging lines
of work which the U. s.. Department
of Agriculture is carrying on in the
south is the institution OF herd rec
ords on dairy farms. By this means
the Improbable cow is detected and
can be disposed Of for slaughter. The
heifer calves from the profitable cows
are raised to take the place Of the
improbable animals. In this way the
quality Of the herd Is steadily inn
proved. The daily weighing Of the
milk and the testing for butterfat en-
able the dairyman to feed the indivfd-
nal animals according to the prodnc-
ton and to select such feeds for the
ration as are shown to give the best
results.
The department receives many let
ters from dairymen Of the south bear
ing on the value Of this work. MI.

FRANCES PRESIDENT
FRIEND OF ANIMALS

PARIS, May 17-President Poin
care is strongly opposed to the killing
Of animals and birds for sport, and
one Of his first acts after election was
to announce himself patron of the
French society whose purpose is to af
ford protection TO animals. He does
not, however, wish to pose as an ami
NAL lover merely in name, and he has
Just made the official announcement
that he will not hold gun in hand
during his term OF office.
This decision of the president is an
entirely personal one. He declares he
has no intention of interfering with
the snort of others, and that when his
duties require him to be present at a
presidential hunting party he will full
fill them.
It is believed, however, that this at
titude OF M. Poincare will have a con-
siderable effect on presidential enter
tanning during tho coming years of his
admin stration, One Of the chief at
fractions of France to royal visitors has
been the magnificent coverts Of the
president q country seat at Rambouil-
let but out Of Difference TO the opin-
ions of NJ. Poincare. it is believed that
most royal visitors will refrain from
hunting while in France.
