London. Feb. 2S, The steamer Dis

used in his first Antarctiy voyage, has
been chartered 10y the British Autarr-
tic Expedition which is to be com
manded by j. Foster Stackhouse, and

termine the coast line of King Edward
VII. I.ond ON one side of the Antarctic
circle, ana Graham Land ON the other.
Between these two sections Of discov-
cred land will attempt to determine
whether this intervening space is land
or sea, whether King Edward VII Land
is part of the great Antarctic continent
or merely an island or group of islands
set i'm the frozen sea.
The existence of Graham Land. and
of Coats Land, Enderby Land and
Kemp Land on the Atlantic border of
the Great Ice Barrier. as well as the
discovery of land south by Lieutenant
Filchner of the German expedition in
1911, support the continental theory.

question Of "a tonnage tax TO the yot-

there is no good reason why tonnage

RESULTS FROM GOOD SlRES
ccciicd Contrast Shown to Those Dis
tricts Where Scrub or Beef CullS
Hre Siiil Used.

OGe county in Iowa where the use
of pure bred dairy sirGs was intro
Guced 20 years ago now produces
7,I00 pounds of creamery butter Per
square mile each year. This is e de-
ciGcd contrast to these districts
where scrub bulls are still III use. or
whore beef bulls are used in dairy
herds Because the result Of using a
well bred sire cannot be seen for a
year or two, beginners are inclined to
become discouraged. One case is
known whore a Hereford sire was be
ing used in a herd of high-gr;. lie
Guernseys because the man who Lad
the Hereford bull for sale said they
were pretty sood mixers. Such
changes and mixing of blood never
improve, but invariably weaken the
stock The first cost Of a good dairy
bull calf seems heavy to a man not
familiar with them.
