A Good Milking Type.

To build up profitable herd the COW
test is indispensable. 1t enables the
dairyman to quickly get high pro-

only the best cows. In this connection

very general practice of sending ma

famous age-torn cities, around
which have centered the rise
and fall of one of the mightiest
nations in history. Before their gates
and within their walls have been
fought the battles cf armies unnum-
bered and for thousand years they
have known the sorrow of death and
destruction-and ofttimes the glories
of victory. In the valley of the stream
whose banks they adorn new con-
fiict is raging today. On the outcome
of this struggle nNly rest their fate
in the years that are yet unborn, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Cracow and Warsaw, the cities are
-one the capital of Poland's kings
when the nation wac in its prime;
the second the home of that glorious
hero, Kosciusko, who led the people
in their bloody war for independence
after invaders had seized their
laud. Through the centuries of
their country's prosperity and the
dark years of grief the beautiful
old towns have nurtured and cherished
the ideals of the Polish people, and
today they house the only remaining
relics of that once proud nation which
long since ceased to exist.
One Of Them Must Suffer.
Shortly after the beginning Of the
present European war the czar Of Rus
sia issued a proclamation, promising
self-government and religious and ra-
cial freedom to the Poles within his
domain in return for their support
In battle A similar pledge was made
by Germany to that par. of the an
cient kingdom now ruled by her. Aus
tria called on all her Poles for loyal
ty, pointing to the freedom and kind
ness accorded them in the past Thus
1t was that Poles were arrayed against
Poles, the followers of Russia striving
to capture Cracow and the Austro-
German armies aiming at Warsaw.
No matter who is victorious it is GER
tain that one Of these cities will
Buffer. Should the Russians in the
end hold Cracow, its people will be
made to pay dearly for their defiance
of the czar. If the Austro-G Germans
triumph, and Warsaw is finally theirs,
she will give no less a price for her
opposition to the kaiser.

Prehistoric Dwelling Place.
In prehistoric times the caves in a

Cracow now lies were the Oldest dwell

period. Within the precincts of the
town several hills arise, among them
the ancient castle hill, called Wawel.
Into these the waters have eaten deep
caves, now valued as the oldest re-
positories of remains of human civili-
zation in the stone age. A legend
dealing with the mythical founder of
the city tells how the brave Krakus
delivered the people from haunting
terror by Staying dragon that dwelt
in cave of Wawel hill-still to be
seen there-and exacted tribute of
human victims for its food.
Famous Old Buildings.
Among the most famous of the an
cient buildings remaining in Cracow
are St. Andrews church, the Wawel
castle, st. Florian's gate and Bar
bican, Wawel cathedral, the Cracow
university and the tomb of Kosciusko.
The university is one of the oldest in
Europe, having been built in the four
teenth century. The cathedral start

before, additions and Improvements be-

The town walls and fortified gates
played no little parts in the battles of
Craeow and, as result, most of them

however, is still fairly we'll preserved,
and its barbican, which served as an

1t was in 1894 that the mighty

Rinderpest in the Philippines.


Rinderpest, which has decimated the
carabao in the Philippines for many
years in spite of energetic quarantine
measures, will probably be stamped
out entirely before long, II the new
plan under consideration of immuniz-
ing the cattle against the disease
should prove successful. An official
test recently made on 5000 animals
proves that permanent immunity can
be attained by simple process, at a
cost of not more than so cents head.
and with a loss of less than one per
cent of the animals treated. 1t is
estimated that all the cattle in the in
fected provinces could be immunized
in two or three years at a total cost
Of not more than 100000, which is
about half what the government now
spends each year for quarantine, while
$4,000 would insure owners against
loss by the immunizing process. A
further expense of $4,000 year would
provide for the incubation of all young
stock and imported cattle.-Scientific
