So the average profit per COW instead
of being S22.92 as in the first year
jumped 10 S76.79 or an increase in
profit per COW Of $3.50. the increase
alone being double the original profit.
These results were secured simply by
testing the COWS for production. and
lselling the Improbable or boarder
COWS.
OF course. a dairyman. with special
training can make his own tests and
get his own conclusions. Better re
suits come. however, to the average
'dairyman from helping to form a Cow
Testing Association. whereby trained
tester can be employed at cost Of 81
per COW year to make regular calcu-
Iations of feed used and milk produced
In such a case. the tester who Is
usually an agricultural college gradu-
ate, arrives at the farm In the after
noon. That evening he weighs and
takes a sample of each cows milk.
The next morning. he again weighs
and samples the milk Of each COW
After the morning milking. he tests
the samples Of milk for fat according
to the Babcock methcd.
The tester also weighs the feed con
sumed by each COW. and estimates the
soost. So after he determines the value
lof the milk or fat, he is able to cal
lculate the profit or loss per COW for
ithe month. Further than this. he cal
lculates the returns yielded for one
dollar expended for feed; also the cost
lof producing 100 pounds of milk and
one pound Of butter fat for that
month. He leaves copy Of his rec
lords with the owner of the herd and
then goes on to the next farm. Fuller
accounts of methods of cow-tssting

Later in the spring you will find
yourself badly in need of colony COOP
for your growing chickens. Get your
men folks to put some together for
you now Such little houses come in
handy for several purposes. as well as
making nice shelters for chickens after
they have been brooder weaned. They
are made six feet long. three feet
wide, three feet high Ia front, and two
feet high In rear An opening is LETT
both front and back and covered with
wire These openings are on level
with the two roosts used and allow
warm air TO be driven out during sum
mer weather.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1914-03-13

During colder seasons, the rear
opening can be closed by means of
hinged door or board can be nailed
over it. The floor, to make cleaning
easier, is simply by platform, on
which the house rests The house can
be cleaned from the front door or the
whole top tilted back out of the way
during the process. The roof is COW
cred with common roofing material.
The house will hold 25 to 30 half

THE CATTLE PLAGUE

It is little wonder that the footand-mouth disease Oknown scientifically apthous fever epizootc aptha eczema epizootc) had spread over a wide area be was discovered Added to the extreme ease and 1spidity infection the that only experts knew much about it. and their knowledge was chiefly theo- retcal or stock inspectors had never seen case and few cattle rasers had any but the yaguest knowledge of the ailment
 About forty years ago the disease appeared in the United States coming from Canada It did not spread then to its present After its eradication it never another in this country until within the last few weeks. Europe has been less fortunate. About 1890 the plague swept through Germany and destroyed SiOOOOOOO worth of stock.
 Most domestic animals are subject to the disease. Sheep and hogs the susceptible horses the least The first symptoms bsters forming in the mouth and on other parts Of the body where the skin is tender particularly the sensitive parts of the feet The blisters soon become open sores, and tbe animal has difficulty in eating and walking The infection spreads rapidly and easily that the only thing to do when is discovered is to kill and bury the victim and burn disnfect everything to which it may have communicated the malignant germs through contact.

 Christmas will be sad festival at best, in many times million homes It win be sadder there than in the trenches the are too busy with their fight ing feel the meaning of it. The who sit alone with folded hands bowed heads and the children who lack food and clothing and feel strange silence and vacancy in the house, these the who suffer And their misery in countless is but the begin uIng of bitter years that will last while they live To bring cheer into these homes only for day in these tragic times

NO POLITICS lN HE WAR

It goes without saying that party should try to make political capital the European That catastrophe which the people of every bel gerent power united countrys defense should find no less unity here We may differ as we will about matters of domestic policy but the presence of the foreign menace which imperls so many phases of our prosperity, our honor and life, there should be no partisanship
 The first weeks of tine brough almost com plee unanimty at Washington as London Paris or Berlin Statesmen of all parties combined the en- ectment of emergency measures Finance commerce. and industry been swept their moorings New questions of national policy raised They were promptly decided regardless of faction. the future handling of problems partisanship should likewise be subordinated to enlightened patriotism
 This same duty deyolyes upon every or insti- tuition that has to do with public opinion Newspapers particularly owe the community to deal with war matters in a broad, liberal spirit
 It will be time enough to take stock of the war and assign political credit or blame when the war is over In the meantime it would be absurd draw party lines on war policies Our political platforms never contemplated this conflict In facing its dangers we are no more factonal than soldiers the firing line We are not Republicans Democrats or Progress siycs or Socialists, but simply Americans.

THE BIGGEST POOL"

Then open the Stock Exchange and say to Europe: Come ahead! Dump in your American securities Wen take em all off your hands if you say sol"
 Sober second thought however, likely to suggest better for money It is not stocks and bonds that need, but market for stocks and bonds Our railroads and manufacturing industries and munich Ialities could utilize s25OOOOOoO Why send it abroad for the nations burn up in their crazy war?
 And yet the plan seems defensble if we regard that pool" a bluff-and perhaps that is the way the in- terested bankers actually regard quite possible that if foreign they could get cash for their holdings at any moment they wouldn't want to sell at aL The very fact that their certificates were convertible into Yankee gold would their And with European securities wobbng the uncertain ties of war they'd probably mighty glad to hold onto their solid, form of investment Thus our Stock Exchange might open with impunty would rise, money would be easy, issues could be mar keted and prosperity would make its bow
 Maybe it would work that way-maybe it would Who knows? Have you got million dollars to dump in?
