A Serious Question

The newspaper business. Is the only
business 10 this, country that has not
nearly doubled its prices in the past
ten years. The editor pays double the
price for all the material used in the
office that he paid ten years ago; he
pays double the wages for help and
double the price for everything he
puts on his table or on his back.
Is 1t any wonder that we Hnd edi.
tors, as a class, while working more
hours than any other business man,
having the most severe struggle to
keep the wolf from the door?
With few exceptions you get an
advertisement at the same price in a
weekly paper as you did when the edi.
tor got his eggs at five cents per dozen
and his potatoes at ten cents per bush.
ell. When provisions, clothing and
labor were cheap. but few editors ever
became wealthy. Did you ever know
one that did? Now since everything
has doubled and trebled except the
price OF your subscription and adver.

both ends meet becomes a serious one
with many editors.

Profits from Six Cows

]. H. Hershey. superintendent Of
the Mennonite Sanitarium, has been
keeping an accurate record during the
past year of the receipts and expendi-
lures from six cows, and for this
period his record shows an average
net money profit OF s126. 36 from each
animal. Each one of the cows had a
calf during the year, and now valued
at s25. 1t is estimated that the value
of the calves with the skim milk,
would pay for the feed of the cows
during the year. This shows how
much a dozen or more cows would
help each farmer out during the year.

~HE OWLS DESIGN, a pure-bred
Jersey cow owned by the Kansas
Agricultural College, is the first
Jersey in Kansas to produce more
than 700 pounds of butter in a year.
This cow completed years record
March II. In the twelve months she
gave 1906 pounds of milk and $50
pounds of butter fat, which is equiv
alent to 1853 pounds of butter.
The record of 1906 pounds of milk
classes The Owls Design with the
first seven Jersey COWS of the world.
Only six COWS have made more than
this amount; and the worlds Jersey
record is only 1928 pounds.
The owls Design was not born in
Kansas, but she was for time own
ed by R. j. Linscott of Holton, Kan.
Her years record before coming to
the agricultural college was 43O
pounds of butter. She is an excel
lent Jersey type and, judging from
her appearance, might be expected to
make such a record as she has just
made.
AS far as the breeding is concerned
she comes from high-producing ances'
try Her sire has seven daughters
that have made good official records.
Her dam has an official record of 321
pounds of milk and 16 pounds of but
ter in a week.
THE OWL" as laymen call her, has
been cared for by G. e. Buchanan, the
college herdsman, and has been
MIXED by students of the agriculture
college. Her ration during the last
year has consisted of alfalfa hay and
silage, and a grain ration of four
parts corn, two parts bran, and one
part oil meal
The dairy department has devel'
oped several excellent specimens

since the present head, o. E. Reed,
took charge. Among these have been
Maid Henry, a pure-bred Holstein, 10
years old. This COW finished an Of
fetal test for a year in December
with 1860 pounds of milk and 800
pounds of butter to her credit. This
record the Holstein Advanced Reg
istry says, is the best made by a
Holstein of the age. 1t put Maid
Henry in a class with forty OF the
finest of her family, all with more
than 700 pounds of butter fat to their
credit in a year.
College Maud, a pure-bred Ayrshire,
10 years old, yielded 1927 pounds of
milk and 533 pounds of butter fat, or
622 pounds of butter last year.
While the entire record is not phe-
nomenal, it does, nevertheless, pre-
sent three cows that gave an average
of 73S pounds of butter in a year.
Any one of the lot would be a fine
possession for a family, and the three
would provide fairly generous liv-
ing. Add to these records the good
work of Blossom Mechtbllde II, D.
year-old Holstein: 90 pounds of but
ter in a month-nine and three quar-
ter gallons of milk in day-and you
have a rather attractive little bunch
of COWS.
All of which may emphasize the
fact that, with good care, and the feec
that any intelligent farmer can pro
vide, dairy cows are good asset
The cows at the agricultural college
had no extraordinary rations. There
was no secret system-there never is
, in good dairying. Care and kindness
and common sense, with proper food
Given these, and the proper kind Of
COW will repay every dollar you spend
