These were some of the notices in
the dairy test exhibit at the recent
Wisconsin Live Stock exhibition,
which impressed on ones mind the i'm
portance of testing dairy cows for
production.
The testing of dairy cows Is car
ried on in our state by two different
agencies-the division Of Dairy Tests
of the College of Agriculture and the
Contrasting associations conducted
by the Wisconsin Dairymen's associa-
ton. There are II of the latter asso-
Citations in existence at this time, In
communities where 400 or more cows
are tested for yearly production by a
supervisor appointed by the Dairy
mems associations. While the official
tests conducted by the College of Agri-
culture are mostly with pure-bred
COWS, the COWS in the Contrasting as
sociations are largely grades and ma
tive cows.
The work in both directions was IL
Illustrated by charts, tables, apparatus,
ETC., exhibited in the dairy test booth
of the exposition The central portion
of the exhibit showed an arch, the
keystone of which was Good Cows"
with Babcock tester and a milk
scale); this was supported by stones
which were marked by the various
factors contributing to success in
dairying, such as, on the one hand,
good food, good water and pure air,
modern stable, and markets, and on
the other knowledge, industry, appli-
cation, square dealing, system and ad-
vertising.
This central chart was surrounded
by figures of some noted cows whose
production of milk, solids and butter
fat for the year has recently been de-
termined by the college, viz:
Queen Juliana Dirkje production
774.5 pounds butter fat, winner Of first
individual prize in the dairy cow com
petition which closed a year ago last
November).
Caroline Paul Parthenea 1882
pounds butter fat, winner of second
prize).
Bessie, grade Guernsey, (winRer OF
third prize, 6593 pounds butter fat)
Yeksa Unis, ranking Guernsey cow,
GAIT pounds butter fat).
Creamery Gold, ranking Jersey
COW (447.8 pounds butter fat.
A study of the results obtained in
this competition with nearly 400 COWS
illustrated strikingly the fact that the
largest producers are by far the most
profitable producers. The best group
of 25 COWS in the competition pro-
duced on the average 687 pounds but
ter fat for the year and Melted $11.96
per head. The poorest ground pro-
duced 264 pounds fat and netted S26.O5.
The former produced 7.72 pounds fat,

was what her profession made her, a
tracker of men again. The story went
on.
Il knew that sooner or later the ad-
dress would be spoken, for the expla-
nation of everything had come to me
now. This secondhand shop was
that only in name. In reality it was a
fence for thieves, a meeting place and
rendezvous for robbers-and / had
stumbled into the knowledge of their
plans! Oh, if some one would ask
for that address. If some one would
speak it! l felt numbly that l was
cold, that | was shivering, that my
fingernails were biting into the flesh
OF my tightly clenched hands. Just
for the address, just one word!
Il started. l pressed closer against
the window. The men, who evidently
had been sitting at a table, were
moving around. | sprang to my feet
and hurried up the fire escape. The
address had come!
There was a maze of few mo-
ments in which neither knew nor un-
derstood what / did, nor why. When
came to myself l was turning the
corner of Chicago avenue and State
streets on half run for a street car,
with my baby in my arms. What l
was going to do, l did not know. The
thought OF the police had not touched
my mind; all l knew was that must
get to the house they planned to rob
before they got there, that / must
find some way to circumvent them.
The street car stopped. l boarded it.
1T was not until l reached the
block in which the fat was that l be-
gan to realize the risks l was taking.
1t dawned upon me then that / was
carrying my baby into a place where
it would not only be in danger, but
where 1t might cause danger for me.
What If there was no one at home. no
one I could warn? The realization
flashed upon me that there would be
no one, for knew that in the plans |
had heard the robbers felt sure they
would be safe in their work. for a
while at least / hurried to the fat.
l rang the bells, one after the other.
Not a tube answered. / circled to the
back l pushed the buttons for the
servants. There came no reply. !

rushed to him. l seized him by the
coat sleeve.
Quick l urged again. There are

blocks from here. You've got time to
surround the place and get every one
of them. They think they're safe;
they've got two watchers. but l know

"A half hour later six shadowy
forms skunk forth from the side of
the fiat building There was half
glitter as four revolvers were pointed
ahead, sharp command, a shot as
one of the men attempted to run, and
then the hands of the gang of robbers
went into the air. With the capftula-
ton there came frightened little cry.

/ She paused, and once again she was
the simple little woman, listening to
] the music of an after-the-theater or
chestra She tapped her fingers idly
on the table to the rhythm Of the song,
and there came the smile that has
made her famous in the police world
of Chicago.
"And that was the making of little
me-" she said with laugh. Il found
out that night that while my work
might have been crude, | had the in
stinct of detective in me. The next
day went to the police station. l

been raided, that the Jews had been

TUBERCULOSIS In POULTRY
APPEARS IN WISCONSIN FLOCKS

Owing to the thorough manner in
which all chicken" is cooked, there
is not much danger of human infec-
ton. The disease is rather to be con-
sidered an economic factor In the
poultry industry.
The only way in which the poultry
man can be certain of obtaining
healthy birds is to purchase them from
flocks known to be free from tuber-
culosis, as the tuberculin test has
been shown to be of no use in the
case of fowls.
Post norton examinations OF all
birds that die should be made as a
routine matter, since this is the only
way in which tuberculosis can be
detected in flock. tuberculosis can
be eliminated from farm only by
the total determination of the infected
flock. thorough disinfection of the
houses and yards, and the introduc-
ton of new birds when some time
has elapsed.

PAIR of large, dark, limo
cent eyes glowed laugh
ingly at me from across
the table. There was a
smile, too, on the childish
face, an appreciation OF
the goodness of life and
the JOY of living in every
feature. Those about us
in the cafe, where the
lights glittered and the
walters hurried forth seem
ingly from nowhere, to
stand a moment at their
tasks and disappear again,

GIVING the Horse Salt.

1t is a mistake to deprive a horse
of salt. Large Jumps of rock salt
should always be kept in box in

Question: l am thinking of using
cement tile in draining my land. Are
they as good as the burnt clay tile?
Answer: Cement tile seem to be as
durable and serviceable as clay tile.
They require a rich and thorough mix
ture of cement. The only case OBJ
served in Wisconsin where cement tile
have honeycombed seemed to be due
to a poor and uneven mixture OF the
sand and cement. On farms near a
freight station Give miles or less)
there seems to be no reason for de-
parting from the old reliable clay tile.
however. Hauling tile five miles or
more by team is a considerable item.
and it is in such cases, particularly
where six-inch tile or larger ones are
needed, that cement tile made on the
farm may have an advantage.-Prof.
