Milk Records.

The average cow in the state Of Rhode
Island produces only about 4, 500 lbs. oi
milk per year. The best dairymen agree
that under present conditions, q COW should
produce at least 6, 900 lbs. Of milk to be
profitable The first step in the improve
ment In the dairy industry Of the state
therefore Is to weed out the improbable
or ''boarder" cows The only way to do
this is to weigh the milk Of each COW and
keep records.
The extension service OF the State Col
lege cooperating with the United States
department of agriculture has issued a
daily milk record sheet, which they are
supplying free Of charge to those dsirymen,
who wish to keep records on their cows.
Those dairymen, who wish to know the
butter fat production, can have the milk
tested regularly each month by sending
samples to the college. Records will be
kept of each individual COW and when
desired, the work of totaling up the
columns at the end of the month will also
be done at the college. In some localities,
the question OF forming CO operative COW
testing associs tions is being considered

UNCLE SANS NAVAL EXPERT.
One Who Does Nothing but Play With
Toy 6sttleships.

Toy Bsttleships.
In long. low building down near the
river In Washington there Is man
who plays with toy ships on a toy
ocean. And as a result of his play he
can foretell exactly how the big battle
ships OF the United States navy will
behave I'm storm at sea, and he can
predict TO a nicely how much horse
power will be needed 10 drive the
great transatlantic liners laden with
their passengers and freight. He does
this before even the keels OF the ships
have been laid down.
! He Is a naval constructor In tho
United States navy. and the toy ocean
on which he works Is the United States
experimental model basin. The sheet
Of water In the basin Is 500 feet long
and fifty feet wide. with a maximum
depth OF fourteen feet.
But In this limited space the naval
expert. working with wave maker, n
dynamometer. towing bridge and
other apparatus. can solve all the me-
chanical problems connected with the
construction OF a ship, Its probable
roll when struck by giant waves and
the horsepower needed In its tremen-
dous engines to drive II through the
water. He works with wooden models
twenty feet long. Some Of them weigh
1000 pounds. none Of them moro than
1000. The other countries Of the
world use paraffine models, but he
works entirely with the miniature
ships Of wood.
The drawings and plans OF the bat
tleshIps TO be built by Uncle Sam are
turned over TO the constructor by the
navy departments bureau Of construc-
ton and repair. In n little shop ad-
joining the building which covers the
model basin the models are made and
painted. Bags OF shot. each weighing
twenty-five pounds, are kept on hand
to bring the model up TO the corre-
spending weight OF the big ship. The
final tests are made In the "toy ocean"
near by.-Popular Magazine.
