The Tribune doesn't take much

story is that a lawyer from Sc .

thinks the prospect a very danger !

WHY PUMP A COW
FOR SEVEN DAYS ?
Forced Productive Capacity May Make
Her Poorer Animal Both as to
Milk and for Breeding.

IN the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, contributor writes, as fol
lows, about trying to force a cow to
produce more milk than she naturally
can:
Every few months some breeder of
finely bred stock announces the per-
formauee of COW that has broken a
seven-days' or thirty days record for
milk or butter fat production.
"The value Of the COW jumps from
about 1925 to $4,000 or $4,000, and
orders for the animal S prospective of
spring begin to pour in.
Farm and Fireside looks with dis
favor on these practices. They are
shams and silly shams at that. Granted
that the milk Of a certain cow for
seven days or thirty days is a record
breaking yield of what index is that
to the true value of the COW compared
with other cows.
. Forced feeding and expensive care
will make almost any cow a better
producer, but not necessarily a better
COW. The cow whose productive ca
pacity has been forced to the utmost
may thereafter be poorer cow both as
milk producer and for breeding.
For the racetack or the circus or
show ring or other grandstand purposec
exceptional feats are desired, but those
are contributors to the gate receipts
or auction-sale proceeds rather than to
the welfare OF agriculture or to that
of the dairyman.
Farm and Fireside considers the
result of any milking test of less than
years duration as misleading. 1t
shows the skill of a clever herdsman
rather than the ability of the COW.
"A year s record, honestly and com
petently made, is a good thing; two
year 5 record is better, and life
record, including the offspring of the
animal, is the best of all for the pur-
pose of establishing champions or com
pairing cows. What do cou think

FIRST COAL DISCOVERY.
Richmond Basin in Virginia Produced
Fuel Century and Half Ago.

The presence of coal in the Rich
mond Basin of Virginia was known as
far back as 100 and mines were opened
and worked at as early date as 1850,
In 1889 shipments were made to some
of the Northern states. In 1882, accord
ing to r. G. Taylor, in his . Statistics
Of Coal, the production amounted TO
81 900 short tons For nearly q cen
fury the Richmond Basin maintained
some prominence as a coal producer,
but in 1882, when the Pocahontas dis
trict was opened, followed shortly af
terward by the development of the New
River field in West Virginia, the mines
in the Richmond Basin were put at a
disadvantage and operations were for
many years practically suspended.
During the last four years, however,
new life has been introduced into the
Richmond Basin areas by the reopening
of the old Clayton mines in Henrico
county. For many years after the
| opening of the southwestern Virginia
and the southern West Virginia Goals
the mines of the Richmond Basin lay
idle or were worked only for a restric-
ted local market The Richmond Basin
is the only area producing free-burning
coal which lies Immediately adjacent
to the Atlantic seaboard.
