Can Dive Safely.

Pittsburgh-Both his life and a bet
were lost by Mike" Airfoctonlarka,

that he could don a bathing suit and
dive off the float into deep water and

companions wagered 81 with him that
he would not dare make the attempt.
The bet was accepted and the Greek

reappeared above the surface and he
quickly sank altogether out of sight.
Members of the Columbia Boat club
recovered the body by diving while

COWS.
Feed is going to be higher than usu.
al this winter, unless all signs fail. 1t
is, therefore, doubly important that
the farmer keeping dairy COWS should
be sure that his COWS are giving him
more than value received for what
they eat. The way to be sure of this
is to have scales and a Babcock tes
ter.
This is only one of the reasons why
farmers should test their COWS fo1
quantity and quality Of product, says
w. "A. McKerrow, organizer Of COW
testing associations for the Extension
Division Of the Minnesota College OF
Agriculture.
Other reasons for cow-testing are:
1t enables the farmer to Eliminate
COWS that do not pay for their board
1t saves many good cow from the
shambles.
1t is an encourager of good feeding
and good care.
1t gives the farmer an opportunity
to build up a good producing herd.
1t increases ones interest in dairy.

means Of labor merely.
