The Brown Swiss as a breed are
plain, substantial and rather t1eshy.
The COWS have large, we'll shaped
udders and uniform teats. In dis
position the breed is especially quiet
and docile and easily handled.
While in Switzerland the breed is
considered dual purpose, in America
the Brown Swiss breeders are de-
veloping the animals along dairy
lines. The majority of the COWS can
be counted on to average about
6,WO to 1000 pounds Of 4 per cent
milk. The bull shown is a fine
specimen of the Brown Swiss breed.

for six months preceding the war that

And the statesmen of staid old
England have followed France in
this direction. In France there was
no protest but a handful of EpiscO-

INFERIOR COTTON FOUND.
Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas
Producers Warned Against 1t.

Washington, March 4.-Cotton
producers in Oklahoma, Texas ard
Arkansas were warned yesterday by
the depart ment of agricult ire against
the planting of the .haif and half"
variety of cotton, which, depart
ment experts have found, far III
ferior to cotton ordinarily produced
in those sections
Field tests by the department on
numerous varieties have shown that
half and half" does not maintain
high rank in total lint yield per
acre. It's lint is of poor character,
irregular, wasty and very short,
much of it less than seven-eighths
of an inch in length and intend
cradle on future contracts under the
cotton futures law.
The department points out that
buyers will penalize it whenever dis
covered, and many interior buyers
as well as practically all of the
larger cotton firms, have declined
to handle it at any price. The de-
partment's warning says production
of the ''half and half" variety will
be likely to seriously dmage the
reputation of the markets where

If the women of Europe, in any ma
