much of the material he has gathered

ninth day milking was carried on

her milk flow increased to better
than 70 pounds per day, but the fat
content remained about the same
In the month that the test was car
ried on this COW produced 20962
pounds milk and fat equal to 91.7
pounds butter.
One fact that is worthy of comment
is that the percentage of fat was not
excessively high to begin with; for
the first full day her test averaged
3.95 per cent, and for the last full
day, 305 per cent. Her normal
weight is about 1850 pounds, and the
exact effect of bodily condition on
fat content of milk can be deter
mined at her next freshening period.
Duchess cannot be considered of
faultless conformation, she shows
great deal Of quality, and her mann
mary system is good. udder we'll bal
anced and milk veins large and tortu-

too fine, lacking in constitution, and
not held up we'll in the back. There
is no doubt but that she has the milk
ing function well developed and that
is the main thing regardless of con-
formation.
More COWS like this in the dairy
sections of the state mean more money
for the farmers. Just as soon as it is
realized that good COWS are not the
result of chance. but of proper selec-
tion and breeding, the better will be
the average of the COWS in this state.

NEW EXPRESS RATE ON SOFT FRUIT

NORTH YAKIMA, Jan. 20.-Fruit
growers and shippers here are con-
siderably agitated regarding the effect
of the new express rates on shipments
of cherries and other soft fruits that
have heretofore been sent to Eastern
markets in carload lots. 1t appears,
according to advices received by ex-
press agents, that all commodity
rates are to be discontinued February
LIST and superseded by the rates pre-
scribed by the interstate commerce
commission.
Last year 33 carload lots and an
equal tonnage in less than carload
lots of cherries went from this sta
ton to Butte, Mont, Fargo, N. D.,
st. Paul, Chicago and intermediate
points. The margin of profit is small
on this class of fruit and if the ap-
parent increase of from one cent per
pound to two and three fourths cents
per pound in express charges on this
business actually becomes effective
the fruit cannot be shipped at all.

Strawberry growers are similarly
agitated.

A bulletin issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture gives the inform
alton that only 27 per cent of the till
able land in the United States is un-
der cultivation. 1t shows that in
the United States there are l, 900. 600. :
600 acres of which 60 per cent or
l, 400, 900, 600 acres are tiIlable. Ac-
comparing the report is a table
showing the amount of land in each
state which was being used for agri-
culture. In this table it is shown
that six times as much land in Wash
ington could be used as is now culti-
waited; ten times as much in Oregon
and eight times as much in Idaho.
This does not include grazing lands,
mountainsides or any land but good,
tillable land.

Dairy Department
A HIGH PRODUCING cow.

The general custom of having dairy
COWS in good flesh at calving time is
to be commended. This not only
enables the COW to store up energy to
be used again during the milking
period, but it also gives the COW a
better start, and with the animal
which has the milking function very
we'll developed this is of Importance
because such a COW will use up all Of
her surplus fat for that purpose and
often more. This in way accounts
for the saying, and one that Is be-
coming more and more recognized,
that the time to make milk is when
the COW is dry. Our best breeders
have recognized this, and when pre-
pairing animals for an official record
make the most of the opportunity,
and put the COW in as good condition
as possible. Sometimes one wonders
whether this is not overdone. but
with some breeds as for instance the
Holstein- Freisian, this seems to work
out very we'll.
1t is not always possible to get a
COW in such good condition, and very
often it is not necessary to do so in
order to obtain good quantity Of
milk after the cow freshens. This
has proven true with one COW,
Duchess Hengerveld De Kol Sd, No.
1OO61O, a pure bred Holstein- Friesian,
owned by the State College of Wash
ington. This cow had the run of an
alfalfa pasture during the fall and
was given no other feed but what
she could pick up. About two weeks
before calving time she was brought
into the barn and given light feeds
of grain, particularly bran. The
Dairy Department believes that bran
and warm water given an animal
during calving is sufficient to prevent
most of the ills which befall the COW
at that time.
During the first week after calving
Duchess was MIXED three times per
day, and during that time produced
daily about sixty-four pounds of milk
and 2. pounds of butterfat. The
grain ration during this time was
made up of one part ground barley,
one part ground oats, and two parts
bran by weight. Twenty-Five pounds
of this mixture were fed daily the
first week, and after this a little oil
meal and gluten. This last she some
times ate but often refused. For
roughage % pounds of silage was fed
daily together with all the clover
and alfalfa hay that she would eat.
After the first week the grain was in

 One result of their stay makes a curious story today. When they left Verdun in 1914 after the first down fal of Napoleon they left behind them debts to tradespeopIe af Verdun amounting to a140, ,00O.- Very little of his was ever paid back by the pris- oners themselves. The French Gov err ment in after years made many un- availing applications to the English authorities for the payment of these debls. Perhaps an appropriate item In the celebration of the Allies ultima to victory would be for the British Gov ernment to discover the legal repre- sentatives of the luckless Verdun tradespeopie of 1914, and to discharge as far as -ssible, these hundred-ye old debts.-Manchester Guardian.
