at cost of about 81 a year. for
each cow in the herd. Very few
dairymen who have had their cows
tested for a year or more are will
ing to discontinue the work. For oy
this testing the owner knows tne
weight of the milk and Of butter fat
produced by each COW. This en-
ables him at the end Of the season
to pick out his most profitable cows
whose calves should be kept to i'm
prove the herd, and also to know
which are the poorest cows In the
herd which should be replaced, Do
cause in very many cases they 20
not pay for their feed.
Weighing the Milk.
For cow-testing it is necessary to
weigh and test the nights and
mornings milk of each cow once in
each month. This is the plan fol-
lowed by most cow-testing associa-
tions, and it is also suitable for
farmers who do their own testing.
In addition to the Babcock test out
fit. a milk scale is needed. After
buying the milk scale and using II
few times, many find it SO little
work that they prefer to weigh the
milk every day, although the test
ing Is done only one day in each
month. The daily weighing of milk
enables the owner (1) to feed each
COW in the most economical way &C
cording to her flow of milk and to
observe how the flow Of each COW
is affected by changes OF feed or
other conditions; (2) to quickly de-
tect any sudden decrease in milk
flow, which may indicate illness, and
to give prompt treatment to such
cases; (3) by comparison OF one
days milk flow with another, the
owner can be sure that the milk
used once month for fat testing Is
normal in quality (4) daily weigh
ing of the milk shows which mixer
is doing the best work.
II the milk Is weighed daily tho
total weight of each cows milk at
the end Of the month is obtained
| by adding UP the daily weights. II
the milk is weighed only on one day
in the month this weight Is multi
piled by 80 or the actual number Of
days in the month to get the total
weight for the month. To get the
weight of butter fat produced each
month, the weight of the months
milk is multiplied by the per cent
of butter fat which it contains.

of markets may be gathered from
the following statement of DR.. Mac
Pherson, of whose department the
bureau will be part:
/. The bureau is arranging with
the farmers organizations already
existing in the state for the fullest
cooperation in order to secure great
er efficiency in marketing and social
service.
2. The bureau will cooperate
directly with any group Of farmers
in the state to assist them in form
ing such associations as are best
adapted to meet the business needs
of their locality. 1t will furnish ex-
pert advice, based on survey of
the neighborhood, as to the kind of
association needed. Through its field
expert it will enable the farmers to
perfect their organization with a
minimum of friction and expense. 1t
will assist newly organized societies
in establishing efficient accounting
systems. Societies furnishing the
bureau with monthly statements of
their business will be entitled to free
audit and expert advice.
Cooperation.
8. The bureau will cooperate
with the farmers organizations and
associations OF consumers in assist
ing them to make the most effective
use Of their marketing possibilities
Of the parcel post.
4. The bureau will make col
lection of all the laws obtainable
relative to marketing corporations
and agriculture in general. Through
this information the Agricultural
College will be in a position as never
before to cooperate effectively with
the legislative committees of farm
ers' organizations in securing the
best laws for the state.
S. There will also be collected
and filed in the bureau blue prints
of typical plants such as creameries
cheese factories, canneries, dryers
flour and feed mills, etc. Along with
these will be collected catalogues o1
business houses dealing in supple!
for such plants, with the prices fol
which such equipment is obtainable
From this information the bureau
will be able to supply estimates as tt
the lowest cost of building ant
equipping plants for various associa
tions.

nEFORE 1890, when the Babcock
- test was invented, no simple,
accurate method was known by
which the farmer could measure the
richness Of the milk or cream which
he sold, or the milk or cream which
remained. At creameries and cheese
factories each patron was paid in
proportion to the weight Of milk de-
livered. It was then commonly be-
lieved that 100 pounds of milk from
one COW would make as much
butter or cheese as an equal weight
of milk from any other COW. Cows
were valued according to the num-
Der of pounds Of milk they pro-
duced.
Proving a Cows Value.
The relative value of different
cows in a herd is now determined
by weighing and testing the milk Of
each. Many cows produce profit
of from s25 to $50 or more per
year, but in almost every herd test
ed some "robber" cows are found
whose milk does not pay for the
feed consumed by them. By replac-
ing the poorest cows with better
ones, the herd will be improved.
Although there is only about one
eighth as much fat in separator
skim milk as in milk skinned from
crooks or shallow pans, 1t should
be tested for fat frequently to see
if the separator is skimimng as
closely as it should. Ordinarily sep
arator skim milk tests about five
hundredths (05) Of l per cent, but
If, by running the separator too
slowly or separating the milk when
too cold or for other reasons, the
skim milk should contain Is per
cent or more fat, the loss may
amount to 81 or 81 per COW per
year. This amount Of money will
more than pay for the entire ex-
pense Of installing and operating a
Babcock test. Although the fat in
the skim milk is not wasted when
fed to pigs or calves, yet 1t is much
more profitable to sell butter fat as
cream or butter than 1t is to make
veal or pork out Of it.
Wedding Out the Robbers.
The dairyman who buys and uses
a Babcock tester will soon find that
he is aided in three ways: First,
by testing his cows he will be able
to weed out the robbers" and re-
tain his best producers for breeding
and milk and butter fat production.
Second, by frequently testing the
milk or cream before 1t is sold he
should have a check upon the test
made at the factory. Third, by oc'
casionally testing the skim milk he
will be able to see that no butter
fat is being wasted.
On many dairy farms the Babcock
test Is saving annually many times
its cost, and at the same time Is en-
abling farmers to select their best
cows and improve their herds as
rapidly as possible. A Babcock
tester should be used regularly on
every dairy farm and in every rural
school in the country.
Value of Testing Cows.
Cow-testing is Of great import
ance. Anyone who knows how tc

POLICE. ACTION HEADS OFF A
RIOT SCENE

Only the level-headedness and fair
ness of police official saved situa-
ton last night that threatened for
five minutes to develop into one of
the most serious riots that has oc-
Cured in Chicago for several years.
1t was the riot that broke out when
a sprinkling wagon driver drenched
an audience of approximately 1000
men and women listening to lecture
given by Arthur Morrow Lewis, the
Socialist lecturer.
And to make the affair appear still
more serious the driver later admit
ed he was acting under ORDERS
Arthur Morrow Lewis, the lecturer,
was addressing the meeting. He was
talking of the need for peace; of the
folly of workingmen of Europe kill
ing each other in the war of hand
full of kings.
A great part of his audience was
composed of women. Suddenly
Christopher Mecca, driving the
sprinkling wagon, got close to the
crowd and let go heavy stream of
water.
Those on the outside were drench-
ed. There was roar of indignation
and the people made for the driver.
The timely appearance of Lieut.. Yves
ley Westbrook and squad of police
saved the man from violence.
The lieutenant cleared the streets.
Then the people told him of the
drivers action. The man was taken
to. the E. Chicago av. station. Lewis
also. went to the station to discuss
the matter with the lieutenant.
The case was laid before West
brook. And Westbrook began to
question Mecca. Under the ieuten-
ants grilling the man practically adj
mitted he was given orders to leave
his water turned on as he passed the
crowd. e

MYSTERY IN TELEGRAM WHICH
THREATENS DEATH

Mystery surrounds the sending of
a message to Mrs. M. Powers, said
to reside at 2159 N. Western av., in
which friend warned her that
Junior" left New York for Chicago
for the express purpose of killing her.
The telegram was picked up by an
usher at the LaSalle street station in
telephone booth there. Later the
police stated that the woman men
toned in the message was Mrs. Mar
garet Powers and gave her address
on N. Western av At that address,
however, it was stated that she is I'M
known.
Relatives of Mrs. Powers, Mr. and
Mrs. John ]. Harrington, 1914 N. Al
bany av., treated the. matter as
joke. Later, however, it developed
that Mrs. Powers was missing, which
only served to darken the affair

powerless to refuse to obey. So you

Lieut. Westbrook later made a
statement.
mo man can break up any meeting
in my district unless he is ordered to
do so. And the police under my COM
mand will disturb no speaker no mat
ter how radical his political or re-
ligious views might be as long as he
obeys the law which says a street
speaker must not advocate violence,
use profane language or obstruct the
streets to such an extent that passage
is impossible"
After the conference in West
brooks Office Lewis returned to the
corner and made a speech explain
ing. the ieutenant's promise. Ac-
cording to residents of the vicinity
Lewis has been particularly careful
to observe the police regulations and
they are very much incensed at what
they call "a plot to throttle free
