Twelve Gallons of Milk

The State of Missouri may
soon have another famous dairy
COW that will rival Chief Jose
phine, COW owned by the Col
lege of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Missouri few months
ago.
The cow that is now well on the
way toward breaking a record is
Pontiac Lady Josephine and she
is also owned by the College of
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri. She is a Holstein.
Twelve gallons of milk day is
her record. Her production of
milk is being recorded for a year,
which ends October 10Th. From
October 10, 1913, to September |,
1914, she has produced a total of
n ,091 pounds of milk. The
State record made by Chief Jose
phine was 26,S71 pounds.
Prof. c. II. Eckles of the dairy
department says that when Pom
tiac's record for the year has
been totaled he believes this COW
will have state record for but
ter, and would be second to Chief
Josephine only in the production
of milk.
Pontiac is nine years old and
weighs about sixteen hundred
pounds, When she was last
fresh she gave ninety-six pounds
of milk a day.

With your family and wife,
Remember the man on the farm
If he only had coat,
To button around his throat,
The frost would do him no harm
So to you my friend Kent,

Say them at night for you

You can inform Mr.. Frazier,
At any time of your leisure,
There'll be apples, peaches an

ROAD WORK HELD UP.
Right Way Not Enetirely Secured
For Ripley Dollar Bay Highway.

Chairman f.. j. Mclean of the county
road commission states that the work
on the Osceola section of the Hancock
Calumet road. let To the smith Byers-
Sparks company on Tuesday. will be
begun at once but that pending the ac-
QUESTION of complete right -of-wa
for the Ripley-Dollar Bay road that
contract will not be signed. The only
right of way lacking on the three
miles and a half of the Dollar BAY road
is that required through the property
Of the Lake Superior Brick company in
Ripley. a comparatively short piece, but
an important one.
All of the other required right-uf-
way were secured from the property
owners without demur. The old Lake
Superior Smelling company went so
far i'm its desire To have the road re-
paired and Strengthened out that ii has
given permission To scar down one
building and a retaining wall. Equal
assistance has been granted by the
other property owners. with the eXcep'
ton of the brick company.
Chairman Mclean says that the lat
ter has not objected to or refused the
right Of way but that il has To get
the consent of the stockholders be-
fore granting it. This consent has been
delayed and the result is that the road
is held up. AS soon as the company
grants the right of-way the work will
be proceeded with.
