COLONEL ElBQEcK.

Colonel Joseph Eiboeck, a dean in
the newspaper profession and the old
est and most prominent Of the Ger
man-American editors Of the state, is
dead. 1t is with the deepest regret
that his death will be chronicled in the
newspaper offices of Iowa.
Colonel Eiboeck was one of the pio-
neers. He came to the state a boy,
struggled up against the disadvantages
of the immigrant thru poverty and be-
came one Of the leading citizens of
his adopted commonwealth. He was a
type Of the old time German American,
as distinguished from the later type
and the new German American who is
German only by descent and in a SEN
timental fashion but is American by
nativity and in purpose. Among the
elder Of his fellows Colonel Eiboeck re-
NAMED . leader to the day Of his death.
His newspaper voiced the sentiments
and advocated the measures Of which
they approved. A strong virile man in
his youth and manhood he kept his
place in the confidence and affection Of
the Germans of Iowa in his vigorous
end capable old age.
When he died a landmark was re-
moved Eiboeck had been in and OF
Iowa from the earlier days Of the state
and been part Of her growth and de-
velopment. It was the passing of an
old inhabitant, an early settler, one
who thru a long lifetime and borne
a part in the making of Iowa. 1t was
a long life busily spent. So busily
that for thirty-nine years preceding
his golden wedding anniversary lately
celebrated he had not missed being at
his desk at o'clock.
There Is no occasion for deep sorrow
but for regret over the death of this
man. When for seventy five years one
has been permitted to come daily to his
tasks for five years beyond the al
lotted three score and ten he has been
greatly favored by the power which
numbers our days.

Starting cow.res.ina Accusations.

Starting Cow Testing Accusations.
The only way to make profits in the
dairy business is to put it upon bus
mess basis. That will necessitate the
cuiing out of the Improbable cows by
means Of the scales the tester and the
record sheet. then feeding the rest upon
feeds containing matchmaking nutri-
ents. Profits in dairying are realized,
only, when the net returns exceed the
cost of production.
1t is a pretty we'll established fact
that any COW producing less than 100
pounds of buttcrfat, annually. VIII
have to be kept at less. AT least
half of the cows in the northwest are
kept at a loss, and the only way TO
detect the ioafers is to keep records
of the feed consumed and the milk
produced. The fact remains that
the farmers will not do this of their
cwn accord unless they have some in
centive, like is furnished by the test
ing associations.
The usual way to organize an ASSOC
citation is for a few farmers in a
neighborhood to agree to hire an ex-
pert whose duty it is to visit each
farm once month, keep records of
the herd for a day. then estimate the
total production for the month. to-
gether with the cost Of producing the
same. In addition, the tester being
an expert dairymsn, assists the farm
err to select the best type of dairy COW
and to compound rations from those
feeds containing the most milk max
ing nutrients at the lowest cost. In
that way he assists the farmer In put
ting the herd upon sound basis.
which increases the net returns per
COW.
The greatest benefit which comes
from these organisations is the
friendly cooperative spirit which 1t
fosters among the farmers Of COM
munity. It tends to stimulate live
interest in better farm management:
the breeding and feeding of other
livestock and the growing Of Inn
proved grains. One Of the direct re-
suits from these associations is to
pave the way for breeding associa-
lions and the growing Of pure-bred
stock, especially OF community breed
ing.

often serves as an opening wedge Tor
