In making up the tables the fail
cows We're those ON test IL months
1 and November Both The spring
cows were those ON test 10 months
and freshening between the dates
March 1st and May 81.
1t will be noted that cows fresh
ming in the fall produced 27 more
pounds of bu,tterfat and $500
greater net profit per cow per year
than those freshening in the spring
and the price of the butterfat pro-
duced by the later was nearly two
cents less per pound than that pro-
duced by the former
The cows freshning in the spring
gave a large supply of milk for two
or three months, then hot weather
short pastures and flies cause a
decided decrease in production and
early in the winter many of them
dry UP entirely.
Ou CuC JULIET uduu COWS WHICH
freshening in the fall will by carful
teeding and management, produce
a good flow of milk during the win
ter when the price of butterfat is
high and when the yield begin to
decrease in tie spring they are turn
ed on grass which brings it up "a
gain about the middle of July or
the first of August when the work
on the farm is most pressing they
can be dried up in order to give
them a rest before the next lactatio
period.
The number of cows freshning in
the fall is increasing from year to
year in the COW testing associations
over Iowa and is a good indication
that the members are paying increa!
ed attention to the management OF
their herds.

BOOSTERS LIGHTING UP
EXTRA With ARC LIGHTS

We have always felt the time
would come when Extra would be
lighted up with electricity and
our fondest hopes are about to be
realized.
Mr.. R. G.. Weiland of Audubon
who secured a franchise for light
and power electricity last fall is
pushing the work under a guiding
hand and a number of helpers
through the town. They finished set
ting the poles and are now busy
putting up the wire that will carry
the electric ''juice" from Audubon
to our city Mr.. Ed Cotton thought
that three Arc lights distributed
one in center of crossing between
the Fullerton Lumber yard and Nels
Hansens drug store another between
Fred Cottons grocery and the Spoo
Bros. restaurant and the third be-
tween the Park livery barn, and
the Park Hotel. To obtain the arc
Lights would cost $500 Mr.. Cot
ton solicited and soon obtained en-
ough to put the light il position.
