MISTAKE TO CHANGE BREEDS

sire one year in order to obtain q
large flow OF milk, a Guernsey sire an
other year to secure richness Of milk,
and a Shorthorn sire the next time,
is the wrong principle to employ In

Although Il is a fact that some dairy
breeds give yellower milk than others,
even though II may be no richer In

color is the kind of feed the cows
are getting. Market demands call for
a yellow butter, which is supplied in
the creamery by the use Of certain
harmless vegetable dyes, the use Of
which dairy laws rightly permit.
The color also can be fed into the

BEREA CORN SHOW AND FAIR

BEREA CORN SHOW AND FAIR
The third annual Berea Corn
Show and Fair was the greatest of
any yet held. The Farmers Chau-
tauqua which was going on at the
same time attracted the crowd from
the display for a time but did not
interfere with the success OF the
show and fair.
An immense crowd gathered on
the campus around the Tabernacle;
some coming from distances Of
twenty miles or more bringing with
them their farm produce for dis
play. The corn was not as good as
former years on account Of the I'M
favorable season. Everything else
on display was doubled and trebled
over former years, not only in guam
tity but in quality as well. Where
there were Ave plates OF apples last
year there we're forty or more and

and was a great credit 10 those
