The results which are given below
prove that MI Maxwell was not mis-.
taken in his opinion regarding the
value Of knowing the production Of
each COW in his herd.
At the end of the first year, it was
found that the average production Of
a herd OF Is COWS was 5,052 pounds Of
milk. containing 214 pounds OF butter
fat The cost OF feed per COW amount
ed to $42.11. There was q profit OF
S41S5 above the cost Of feed. For
every dollar expended for feed the
average COW made return in milk
amounting to S19S
The best COW in the herd. the first
year. yielded 5.93S pounds Of milk con.
tanning 25S pounds Of butterfat, while
three cows were sold as improbable,
one making a yield of only $50
pounds OF milk
During the first year, Mr. Maxwell
studied the records carefully. and
made plans to feed the herd Tor its
highest and most economical produc-
ton the next year. He found that the
production during tie months OF July
aud August was very low. owing TO
dry pastures and a lack Of green feed;
also that the effect Of short feed at
this time could not be overcome dur.
ing the remainder of the lacration
period. The second year green corn
was provided as q supplement 10 dry
pastures. As a result the records
show that during the second year the
average COW produced 7,142 pounds Of
milk containing 500 pounds Of butter
fat: she consumed $4791 worth Of
feed. and made q profit above the cost
iced amounting 10 1915.
The highest producing COW in the
herd yielded $3.50 pounds Of milk
containing 4o6 pounds of butterfat
Her feed cost S4S.62: and the profit
above The cost Of feed was $115.72
The following table gives a clear
idea Of the increased production, that
resulted when careful system Of
feeding was followed:

was so much kindness in their eyes
and so much peace in their faces, that
We are won, we know not how. And
before the peace which their loved
dead have shed about their heads. we

Increase of Automobiles.

Receipts at the Office of Harry A.

roDean war has had no noticeable ef-
feet on prosperity in Maryland.

receipts Of the Washington branch
Office still to come in. For the last
FIVE months. which are the first

the increase in receipts has been in
excess Of so per cent. Indications are
that the net receipts for the fiscal

Last year the license numbers
stopped short of $4,000. This year the

Another noticeable fact is that OF

Of those registered this month cost
less than $1,000 each. showing that
the new cars are being bought chiefly

This increase was made largely
through feeding. Three cows were
eliminated as improbable during the

terial effect in making the average
production higher: but the larger fac,
tor was the individual feeding.
By keeping records the low pro,

two factors will increase the average
