CARE, FEED AND MANAGEMENT Of THE DAIRY HERD
Written For Farmers Interested In The Best Dairy Cows and For
Those interested in the Improvement Of Their Herds
This Space Will Be Deyot 10 Dairy interests
Bulletin No. 13, Ames.

Bulletin No. 13, Ames,
How to Organize. The first Coon
erative cow testing association was
organized in DENIM ark in 1895 Since
that time the Danish plan of organ
ization has spread over the best da-
Try regions of Europe and is in use
in over 100 associations in the
United States.
One of the best ways of starting
a COW testing association is for one
or more men who are especially in
terested to make a list of prospec-
tive members living in the commun-
ity. This list should be sent to the
College, Ames, with the request that
bulletins outlining the plan and OBJ
ject of the associating with the
benefits to be derived be sent to the
people whose names appear ON it,
After a week or two a meeting
should be called and everyone inter
ested are invited to come. Some
person who is familiar with the
COW testing association work shoult
be procured to address the meeting
and explain the objects, plans and
benefits to be derived from such
organization ons.
After the meeting those wishing
to join are asked to sign the
contract appearing further on, and
state the number of cows they de-
sire to enter.
For the best work an association
should not cover a territory more
than ten Or twelve miles across and
the distance between any two mem
bers should not be more then two
or three miles unless tester is
secured who cam furnish his own
transportation.
Every effort is made to secure men
for testers who have had farm ex-
perience as well as a thorough train
ing in testing milk and keeping
records
The plan of organizatio lis simple
Several farmers, usually 26, agree
to pay certain sum of money per
COW to have their cows tested. The
cost is generally $1OO to 1.5O per

WILLIAM RAEE
DROWNED SUNDAY

While Will Rabe the seventeen
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rabe
living east of Hamlin, was bathing
in the Nishnabotna stream last Sab
bath, in company with brother
he stepped into deep hole in the
creek bottom and not being able to
swim sank into its depths. His bro
ther hastened to a nearby picnic
party and gave the alarm, but befor
assistance could be secured he sank
to rise NO more in life. For nine
hours the body lay in the water and
all efforts were futile to recover it
altho several hundred people had
come, to assist if necessary. AT 1.
so a. NJ. the body was recovered
with graphing hooks.
At two O'Clock Tuesday the re-
mains were laid to rest in Audubon
where, only four days before he had
received a deploma as an eight |
grade graduate of our Common
schools. The sorrowing parents and
children have the sympathy of all.

A BIG NOISE FROM
A LITTLE CRACKER

The fire cracker is abroad in the
land and from their report we
must have either better made ones
or larger for their detonation is
certainly of the set UP" kind and
are calculated to make a person
think that the glorious fourth is
near at hand.
You have heard of the 'The fool
and his monkey wrench" that Brink
used to tell about. He (the fool)
was always trying to adjust the
machinery he was handling, by loos.
ening bolt here, and Tightening
a burr there, without thought cf
what he was doing until the whole
machine was out of line and failed
to work.
With the cracker, the experim 4nt
has been, to produce louder noise
from smaller cracker.
The explosion will jar you even
though You are a city block away.

WE GOT A DuCK|NG
THAT SOAKED

Last Friday evening the 26th III.
timo we received, and soaked i'm.
what we could of nearly three inch
es of rain which came in a shower.
1t was one of those terrific thunder
storms that this country used to
have in early days when trip to
town with, or for, load, and
sometimes both meant the crossing
of many sloughs.
Sloughs in these days We're very
wet pieces of ground and were con-
sidered waste land; while now da,
such places are tiled and drained
and are the most valuable strips ON
the farm. A man going to market
was fortunate indeed if he made the
trip without getting in the slough.
The storm of Friday might here
was accompanied with heavy wind
but no. ouch damage was reported

AUDUBON COUNTY CAND|-
DATE FOR GOVENOR

Attorney General George Cosson
is favorabl. mentioned by several
papers over the state as a logical
candidate for Gubernatorial honors.
There are other candidates in the
field and it has been said by the
party's leading papers that with so
MANY running in 1915 the contest
is apt to go to the state convention
for settlement.
Our opinion is that George Cos
son is the right man and should be
elected regardless of politics or pair
ty. His fight for the betterment of
man kind since his induction into
office, has not been dictated by par
tisanship. 1t has been above re-
proach and the Cossen law in Iowa
will stand forever. He is the peoples
champion, against the cliques.

MUCH ALFALFA is
RAISED IN SCOTT CO.

From the Auditors report, Scott
County produced, the past year
$4,000 dollars worth of alfalfa hay
The total number of acres in this
splendid cropper is 296 and 1889
tons were harvested from them.
Figuring the average price of A.
falfa at from $500 to $4,000 per
ton the crop would be worth nearly
$4,000.
Pleasant Valley township had the
largest production owing to the
Iowana Farm crops
Seventy acres are planted to Al
falfa on the Col. George w. French
model farm the yield was 3S5 tons

THE RESULTS

A number CT farmers living
within the vicinity OF Anita seem to
have just cause for complaint on ac-
count of recent Investment OF some
sort of hog medicine represented to
be a sure preventive OF cholera and
other ailments TO which Mr.. Hog is
more or less, now and then subject.
One farmer who purchased several

datlon and guarantee OF the agent
That IL was all right, and perfectly
harmless, reports that number
OF apparently healthy hogs died af-
ter few feeds of the medicine had
been administered and he attri-
butes his loss directly to the
use OF the medicine.
1t would seem that manufacturers
and dealers in hog medicine who
had been long established in bus
Gess and are known to be thorough
~ reliable in all their dealings and
whose remedies have been
tested, should be favored in pre-
ference to the travelling solicitors of
whom they know nothing, and much
