No. Poor Cows.
BY F. D. Otis, Agricultural Representa-
We, Banon County.

Is a COW giving 200 pounds of but
ter fat year worth half as much as
one giving 400 pounds? 1t takes about
$50 pounds of butter fat to keep COW
a year. Figuring on the same cost
basis, the 200-pound COW gives profit
OF 20 pounds while the 400-pound COW
gives a profit CT 200 pounds Many
COWS are able TO eat one dollars worth
of feed and make It into two dollars
worth OF butter fat II the 400-pound
cow will do that she would yield 200
pounds profit. as much as ten 200
pound cows. But let's charge her with
$50 pounds as an average COW and
then with half Of her 220 pounds which
are left. Even then she will have left
10 pounds as proht-5h times the
profit OF the 200-pound COW.
Figured upon milk production alone
a COW giving 200 pounds butter fat
yearly is worth only $1,000. This
proves IT, Ten years Is the longest she
can be expected TO produce, therefore
she must pay back ten per cent. Of her
value each year TO pay for herself in
ten years. She must also pay interest,
say five per cent, and five per cent.

The principles and laws OF pruning
are 4 necessary part OF the education
OF all farmers who desire to raise
glod quality Of fruit, Pruning is
largely regulated by the climate and
kind of fruit, and therefore the hab-
its of different trees and various kinds
of fruit necessitates the use of differ
cnt methods. Special pruning to pro
mote fruit bearing is of secondary i'm
portance to good care of the plant,
One of the foremost pruning princi-
pies is the fact that pruning is thin

tive that the grower familiari2e him

tingly reducing the coming crop by
| removing parts of the plants which
should be left A special study Of bud
production is especially necessary in
the peach, apricot, American plum,
currant and grape.
Summer pruning cannot be recon-
mended as a general practice. Win
ter pruning is preferable, and trees so
treated thrive best in Wisconsin,
+ Pruning should be an annual method.
4 The most careful and critical pruning
! should be done during the early period
/ of a trees life. Trees properly pruned
from planting to fruit bearing need
| comparatively little pruning thereaf-
ter. If the pruning is properly done
during the first two years, that of the
third year will require little atten
ton.
Heavy top pruning tends to wood
production As tree cannot turn its
activities strongly in two directions at
the same time. 1t follows that fruit pro
duction will be reduced until the tree
has gained its equilibrium.
Three underlying laws may be used
as guides to successful pruning:
4 |. Prune weak trees relatively heav
Ter than the strong growing ones.
Prure every year. removing

This is one of the most curious
truths of physiology. \ pigs eye SO

taught the rudiments of their business

operations on them. from removing Il

of a person.
Human eyes do not vary much in
size. and in themselves they have no
expression whatever. When it is said
that a person has large eyes it means
simply that the opening between the
lids is larger than ordinary. 1t is the
lids that are wholly responsible for
ocular expression, which is capable ct

Six Cylinder Car
Makes Appeal to
General Public
ACCORDING TO EXHIBITORS, MA
JORETN OF CARS ARE
THIS TYPE.

When the doors are closed on the
national automobile show the trend
Of the automobile industry viii have
demonstrated that the six-cylinder
car has made the greatest appeal
10 the general public. According to
the exhibitors in the show. a major
ty of all the cars are of the six-cylin-
der typo. This list includes makers
who have in the past devoted their
entire output to four cylinder models
exclusively, and in a few cases some
makers still make a four. But where
"A manufacturer builds both skies and
fours the lions share of the output
Is Of the siX-cylinder type.
IN former years the annual show
has featured some new Advance in
motor-ear building one show was
heralded as the self-starter show, an
other brought out the fore door body,
another electric lighting This year
these things are matters of fact equip
ment The six-cylnder motor-car is
the subject for the motorists undi-
vided attention
Many automobiles have been led
10 believe that the siX-cylinder car
is far more costly to operate than the
four For this reason the six has
been a little slow in making itself felt.
advocates Of six-cylinder construc-
ton have convinced four cylinder US
ers that, given a six and four oMequal
horse power, the advantages are IN
favor Of six. In many cases the
six has demonstrated that II requires
less gasoline and oil than does the
four Of the same horse power under
the same conditions.
That these facts have become thor
oughly realized by the motor-car in
dustry the manufacturers simp-
ly make what the public wants-is
evidenced by the fact that there are
twenty skies being shown to the pub
lie for the first time, and all of them
are the products of makers who for
merly made tours exclusively This
certainly proves beyond the slightest
doubt the public's realization of the
desirahlity of the six-cylindcr car
over the four for comfort. economy
and efficiency
