Historic Clontarf.

Clontarf, where the collision be-
tween the national volunteers and the
soldiers took place, is one of the most
historic spots in Ireland. 1t was
there, on Good Friday, April %, 1014,
Brian Boru and the men of Munster,
Connaught and Meath fought the
Danes. Brian was killed in his tent:
Sigurd Earl of Orkney and Caithness,
perished also; and 1000 Irishmen
and $4,000 Danes are said to have
fallen. Victory remained with the
Irish. but the Danes reoccupied Dub
lin. In modern times O'Connell's mon
ster meetings for repeal were to have
eliminated at Clontarf. But the meet
ing was prohibited by the government,
and O'Connell was put upon his trial
for conspiracy and convicted, though
the verdict was eventually reversed
by the house of lords.-London Chron

Are you reading our articles on
Cow Testing.
The following records made by
herd of Peder Pedersen and son in,
the Benson Cow Testing association
in three consecutive years is es-
pecially interesting and valuable
in this connection, as it shows what
can be accomplished on the farm
by keeping records, wedding out
the poor COWS and by proper feed
ing and management.
The average milk per COW during
1911 was 1866 pounds. In 1912 7O6
pounds and in 1913, 1861 lbs. per
COW.
The average butter fat per COW
during 1911 was 2O7.7 pounds in
1912 it was 251.9 pounds and in
1913 it was raised to 341.9S pounds
The net income per COW over cost
of feed in 1911 was $22.12 in 1912
it was $53.96 and in 1913 it was
$500. M
The largest net income COW in
the herd in 1911 was $54.22. In
1912 it was $1O6.3O in 1913 esti
mate for each of two Largest net
income cows was $144.0O.
The incr ase in production and
in the net returns for butter fat af-
ter deducting the cost OF feed. in
this herd in course of three years
is remarkable and brought about
by use of a pure bred sire, weed
ing out the inferior cows and Civ
ing the remaining ones better care
and feed.
This herd was made up of grades,
and few pure bred Holsteins and
the number of cows remained about
the same duning the three years.
