BUSINESS RECORDS NECESSARY
TO SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
Dairy Production Much Increased In
Hartford County Herd.
G. E. WOLCOTT,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The dairy farmer is producer and
a manufacturer He produces the raw
material in the form Of feed; and from
the feed manufactures finished prod.
uct. The finished product may be milk
cream or butter. The producing end
OF the business may be successful;
that is the farmer may grow the crops
cheaply enough so that the market
price will show profit over the cost
of production. However, If business
methods are not used in changing the
raw material into the finished product
enough may be lost to wipe out the
profit from growing the crops. The
crops when turned over to the dairy
COW should be charged to her at their
market value; and a system of records
should be kept to determine whether
she is using the feed so as to return
a profit. The manufacturing end OF
dairy farming should be profitable as
well as the producing end.
The individuality of the COW and
the method Of feeding her are the fac.
tors which, to great extent, deter.
mine whether or not she is profitable.
Where no records of production have
been kept, there are sure to be some
cows that do not return profit for
their feed. By disposing of these
cows, the average production of the
herd will be increased. Some cows
are fed more than they require; others
are fed less than they require. If the
feed, If adjusted so that each COW is
receiving the feed she requires, the
production and profit will both be in.
creased.
The advantages that may be ex.
pected when records Of production are
kept are shown by the results of the
Hartford County Cow Testing Associa.
ton, which has completed three years
work in record keeping. The first
year the average COW produced 4,7S6
pounds of milk, 234 pounds of fat, the
I profit above the cost Of feed amounted
to $685.. During the first year the
lowest producing cows were sold.
Better methods Of feeding and absence
of the poorest" cows increased the
production the second year to SPAS
pounds of milk, 264 pounds of fat.
The profit above the cost of feed was
$685. The production the third year
was still further increased, the average
being 5,77S pounds of milk, 276 pounds
Of fat, with profit above the cost OF
feed amounting to $3.50
These records clearly show that the
production and profit may be increased
from year to year by using business
methods in the manufacturing end OF
the dairy farming industry.

At CHURCH on TIME.

A late entrance at church may be
impressive from your point of view.
When you come in while the minister
is reading his text, the back seats are
always sure to be filled; then there is
that triumphal procession toward the
front Your silk gown will undoubt-
edly rustic softly through the solemn
stiffness of the church, and you may
be sure every woman in the congre-
cation will notice how well your coat
fits through the shoulders and how
gracefully the feathers on your hat
nod. While the minister is waiting
for you to get comfortably settled in
your seat, you can remove your
gloves. finger with your back hair and
give the persons behind you a chance
to see how you have polished your
fingernails.
But suppose you look at the matter
from the minister's point of view. He
must either stop his sermon while
you are entering. or founder through
an important point while his congre-
cation takes stock of you. When you
are seated, the congregation again
turns to the sermon, but having miss
ed the important point, wonder how
in the world the minister got switched
OF in that direction.
Try getting to church on time.

BRYCE on AMRRICA's CONDUCT.

yiscount James Bryce, probably the
most impartial and most careful stu
dent of American character and poll
cies, in his most recent public utter
ance, has lauded the neutral stand of
the United States in the issues grow
ing out of the war in Europe. With
characteristic thoroughness and i'm
partiality, he makes his article critical
alike Of the British enthusiasts who
condemn us for not siding with the
cause of the Allies, and of the Ger
man propagandists.
On the whole, Lord Bryce has
made an accurate appraisal of public
opinion in this country. He has ex-
planned that the American action in
all cases has been without reproach,
that we have no treaty obligation in
the case of Belgium (for which the
Britons blame us) and that we have
not stepped beyond our rights as a
neutral nation. (the Germans blaming
us for permitting the export of arms
and military supplies). He shows that
the judgment of our nation is not
affected by ties of race, language or
institutions. but that American opin-
ions are formed from a very clear
conception of right and wrong.
: The words of this great British
statesman should serve at least one
good purpose. 1t cannot be expected
to make other than an unfavorable
impression in Germany. 1t can little
affect the United States. But It
should bring a considerable class of
Englishmen and English publications
and large number of Frenchmen
and French publications to the reali-
zation that our nation has preserved
righteous and reasonable neutrality.

OVERLOOKING OUR GENIUsEs.

OtEhLVOhiNG OUh uENlUSESs
What shall we do with our geniuses?
The apparent retort to this question
is, Find your genius Coleride says,
"Genius is the potency of childhood
sustained in maturity" In spite OF
this simple definition. we are at sea
when we try to determine genius.
Most of our geniuses are discovered
after they are dead. Several decades.
or even centuries niust pass before
We bemoan the fact that Homer beg
ged his bread or that Milton sold
Paradise Lost" for five pounds.
Many genius hunters declare that
genius is a product OF the past.
"why," they ask. "do we not produce
another Newman. another Browning.
or another Ruskin?" Some answer
this query with the avowal that there
are geniuses today. but that they
specialize. and therefore are not
brought SO prominently before the
public.
Every civilized country makes pro-
vision for her abnormal children. We
have special schools for the blind, for
the deaf and for the feeble-minded, and
other institutions for the hopelessly
deficient. But the supernormai per-
son is quite disregarded. Philanthrop-
ically inclined persons will give
millions to establish libraries, to
promote prison reforms or to endow
universities; but rarely do we find
one who contributes a cent toward
the development of genius. He will
not take the chancellor chance it is,
since we can in no way determine the
embryo genius.
The Nobel prizes were intended by
the donor to help the struggling
genius. If he could know now of the
perversion Of the fund, he would be
surprised. The prizes never have
been given to anyone who has not al
ready achieved what he has set about
to do; that is, some one who has
proved himself a genius. Mommsen
was S5 years old when he received
the Nobel prize for HIS History Of
Rome" Madame Curie, the codiscov-
erer Of radium, was the youngest per-
son to whom the prize was given, and
she was SO years old. 1t has never
been awarded to any other person
under 40. Seven who have received
Noble prizes were past 20 years old.
Society. like nature, does not well
come individual variations. 1t has no
place for the person who is at vari-
ance with its rules and regulations.
As society progresses. it will no doubt
some day make a place for the super
normal individual; but that is long
time OF.
