try sent by Mrs. Helen NJ Connstock
of Long Beach. 1t is painted on the
cotton cloth woven in India.
The figure of the man is repre-
sentation of the younger gcd vishnu
who is something of a gallant among
the milk-maids. He is dancing at
night, the stars surround him and he
is surrounded by women who belone
to the temple service, two of these
women hold torches and two lighted
lamps. Around the god the sacred
cattle are listening to the music, even
the birds have awakened t6 listen and
the fish gather in the stream to hear
the music too. Above are temples in
| this distance.
Mrs L.. A.. Hamill has sent to this
! booth a native Hindu costume OF I'M
usual interest. From the collection
owned by the Misses McGaw there
/ is beautiful taborette inlaid with
| ivory, a child's dress and cap and a
! shoe of wood worn by the natives.

.DAIRYMEN STRONGLY FAVOR
USING IMPROVED STOCK
Their Association Urges Farmers To
Secure WelI-5red Bulls and Offers
Prizes For Superior MIX.

At recent meeting of the State
Dairymen's Association in Baltimore. 9
striking instance was given of the
asleep at the switch" attitude Of our
milk producers as far as the improve
ment Of their herds Is concerned. In
1870. Mr.. S. M. Shoemaker made the
offer Of pure-bred bull calf to the
farmer whose COW would make the
highest milk record in the State, no
expense to be incurred Herewith, and
no restrictions except that the contest
be supervised by the State Experiment
Station. There was not an inquiry
not one! Sixty days after making this
offer, Mr.. Shoemaker priced this same
bull to buyer at 5000 and promptly
sold it. Lest there should be question
as to this offer being widely enough
advertised, it should be added that the
bull calf, together with It's pedigree
and a large placard stating the simple
conditions Of the prize were on exhia
bition during Maryland Week Of that
year for all visitors at the Armory to
seel

Notwithstanding this example, the
directors of the Dairymen's Associas
ton have offered generous prizes for
contestants In a number of dairy prod
uct contests, ending Maryland Week.
Nov. 16 to 21st, which include a mar
ket milk contest, one for new and one
for old contestants, market cream
contest, a prize of $50 for the person
organizing the FIRST new COW testing
association in Maryland in 1914, and
another prize of $50 for the most eff
Client tester employed by one of these
associations and who has served in
this capacity for twelve months
The Association also endorsed the
offer of the State Experiment Station
to place several Guernsey and Ayr
shire Bull Calves as herd sires on
selected farms, free Of cost. In an eff
fort to improve the type of dairy ami.
mails and to encourage the breeding OF
