IMPERIAL VALLEY DIRECTORY
VERY CREDITABLE WORK

This years issue Of the Valley Di-
rectory is a great improvement over
the previous issues. 1t contains more
pages and has an increase of 25 per
cent in the information on the print
ed page.
The directory is a public necessity,
as it answers most any question which
may be asked about the county-its
government, as well as the govern
ment of the several Incorporated cit
ies-and the Department of Facts
About the Valley should be appreci-
ated by all persons desiring to know
what the valley produces.
The section Of the directory con-
tanning the names of the ranchers and
persons residing in the cities of the
valley is the feature of the directory,
as it tells Who's Here and Where,
and to the stranger making his first
trip here the directory will be the
hand that points the way.
A buyers Guide is an lmportanC
feature, as it tells at glance what
may be purchased in the valley and
where, and in this connection there is
q full page article on "Making Your
Purchases in Your Home Town"
The directory is not only a public
necessity, but a real booster for the
entire valley, and A. G. Thurston, the
compiler and manager of the direc-
tory, deserves great credit for the
service he has rendered the community
during the Directory and Yellow Map
period.
The office of the publisher is Room

DEPEW SCORES KAISER,
HIS FORMER FRIEND

London, Aug. 11.-Former Senator
Chauucey M. Depew, who has long
been an ardent admirer and personal
friend of the Kaiser, severely cen
sured the German ruler in an inter.
view today with the World correspon-
dent.
"This war is the crime of all CEN
turtles" said Mr.. Depew with impress
sive earnestness.
'It is crime Of ambition-the
dream of a man who thinks himself
another Napoleon.
"Ten million men will die as re-
suit, directly and indirectly, of this
crime, and for generations Europe
will suffer incalculably.
at is almost Incredible" continued
Mr.. Depew, "that one man could throw
the whole world back into the six
teenth century. Something is wrong
with the Kaiser. Either his environ
ment is at fault, or there has been q
complete reversal of his mental pro-
cesses.
"Chis war will mean the greatest
impulse for Socialism that history re-
cords. 1t will mean the end to all
kings with real powers and an end
to all bullying bureaucracies."
1t is recalled that on the twenty
fifth anniversary of the Kaiser's reign
Mr.. Depew's speech in honor of the
German monarch attracted world.

sit is undoubtedly true that not
every good hand mixer would be
able to handle machine with equal
success; but no remarkable qualities
are necessary for efficient machine
management. "
1.-THE station experience proves that
such machines, at least the one used
by us, can be readily handled by the
better grade of farm laborers, that
they can easily be made to produce
milk with very satisfactory bacterial
counts, that they. do not injuriously
affect the flow of milk and that they
will lessen the amount of human
effort necessary to milk cows.

for three COWS, three periods each for
nine COWS and two periods each for
IL COWS, making SO complete lactation
periods. During 43 of these periods
the COW was MIXED by hand and dur
ing 45 by machine. Taking the data
just as they stand and comparing the
yields when any COW was MIXED by
the two methods during successive
periods, it would appear that 80 such
comparisons favor hand milking and
% favor machine milking. But it is
hardly fair to include all the data.
In the several years through which
the tests ran, the yields of several OF
the COWS were abnormal for at least
one lactation period, owing to mis-
haps of one kind or another. Six
young COWS calved prematurely and
three suffered so severely from in
digestion that their yields were seri-
ously affected. Leaving ont these
abnormal lactation periods there re-
main "a comparisons in favor Of hand
milking and 19 favoring the machine.
GAS will be seen, this method OF
handling the data throws the balance
toward machine milking, but again
the difference is too slight to have
any meaning, since it is less than
one per cent of the whole yield. In
other words, the effect OF milking
upon the productivity of the COWS
is less than the normal fuctuation in
yield from year to year due to such
marked variation in yield of individ-
ual COWS as might occur in any herd
of considerable size. Of four COWS
MIXED by machine in 1867 and
again in 19O7-8 after division of the
herd, one showed a change of LOCO
pounds in flow the second year, and
another change of 1,500 pounds;
while data from Maine Station re-
ports show a change of Sc per cent
in yield of a herd of ID COWS in sue
cessive years, and similar data from
Wisconsin from a herd of II COWS
show a change of more than one per
cent.
"From this work, then, extending
over five years and including a large
number of lactation periods. the only
conclusion possible to draw Is that
machine milking, if properly done,
does not influence the flow of milk to
any extent capable of measurement.
OF course, poor management of the
machines and careless handling might
bring down yields; but so also care
less, inefficient hand mixer may

The Milking Machine a Success

and economical it might be in milk
ing COWS. This was a serious defect
in milking machin es first on the
market.
"Milking- machine studies at col
leges or stations began as long ago as
1895 and since that time ten or twelve
tests have been reported in which
direct or indirect data we're secured
relative to the effect of the machines
on milk flow. On the whole, the
difference in quantity of milk pro-
duced by machine milking and hand
milking we're not great. In these
tests, in many cases the numbers OF
COWS we're small; in others the periods
we're short so that it was impossible
to say whether any shrinkage shown
was due to the character of the milk
ing or merely to a change in method;
and in many instances the influences
of advancing lactation were not prop
erIy balanced. Yet the summarized
conclusion which might have been
drawn from these tests-that the
milking machine exerts only slight,
if any, adverse influence upon milk
fowls we'll sustained by the much
more numerous, longer, carefully
balanced comparisons made in the
station tests.
SIN 1867 the COWS in the station
herd we're MIXED by hand and in
19O7-8 by machine, but since such
Acknowledgment comparisons of hand
and machine milking could not
equalize the influence of advancing
age of the COWS and climatic condi-
lions affecting food supply, it was
thought best to divide the herd in
halves as the COWS freshened in l9O0-9
and to milk each COW by hand and
machine IN alternate periods of lacta-
ton. In this division the herd was
balanced as carefully as possible with
regard to age and productive ability;
and in subsequent changes due to the
dropping out of COWS by reason of
age, accident, illness, sterility, etc,
and the addition of others to main
tain the herd. the same idea of pre-
serving the balance has been kept in
mind.
"The work has now been carried
through the Iactation periods for
191O-11. In all, 20 COWS have been
compared during two or more lacta-
ton periods, including five periods
each for five cows, four periods each
