PUTS DAIRY ON BUSINESS BASIS
Jackson County Cow Testing AssO.
citation Shows Value Of Tests.

The Jackson County Cow Testing
Association has just completed a
years test of 1856 cows in the coun-
ty. These animals produced total
of 1.00O.33S pounds of milk with an
average test of All per cent, maxim g
Al, ,194.99 pounds of butterfat. The
product is valued at $29,S6O73 as
market milk. The cows returned a
profit above cost of feed of SI9,32757.
or S2.S4 for every dollars worth of
feed given them.
The record COW is a Holstein-Jer-
sey-ShOrthOrn grade animal, which
produced 1l,00l pounds of milk This
tested 3.9l per cent, or 1892 pounds
of butterfat.
The average COW produced 5i07 5
pounds of milk testing All per cent,
or 254.56 pounds of butterfat. at a
profit above cost of feed of $10447.
If the $4,000 milch cows of Mis-
souri, produced as much butterfat each
year as the average COW in the Jack
son County test, the yearly butterfat
production of the state would be in
creased 9S,S2S.000 pounds. which, at 30
cents a pound, would be worth $29.
64S.400
The association has summed up the
advantages of such tests as follows
1t puts dairying on a business ba-
sis; it gives an exact record of each
cow; it enables dairymen to detect the
loafers, and by eliminating them, in
crease their profits: it encourages
more liberal feeding which usually
proves profitable; it increases the
selling value of the stock and their
offspring by giving an average record
Of production; it lessons cost of feed
by buying comparatively; it encour-
ages dairymen to give their animals
better care and attention; it deve,-
ops community spirit; the men proht
by the advice and experience of the
tester.
The only real test of the dairy COW
is the BabcOek Test and the scales.
These are the factors which determine
whether a COW is in a profitable or
Improbable class, yet the average
farmer is slow in adopting a system
of record keeping which would enable
him to discover the loafers in his herd.
"The results of this association are
proof in themselves" said j. G. Wat
son, who had charge of the expert
ments in Jackson County, that such
an organization should hold sway in
every dairying community"

HOLT'S SPECTACULAR CAREER.
FRIDAY, July 8, 1870

When Frank Holt climbed to the
top of his cell in the Mineola Jail
Tuesday night and dived to the ce-
ment floor he ended one OF the most
spectacular careers in American
criminology. A week ago the men,
tion of his name would not have oc-
casioned any comment outside a nor
NAL circle of acquaintances. Today
his history is being discussed by mi,
lions of newspaper readers.
In a short period of five days he
startled the American public with a
series of daring crimes. After plaC-
ing bomb in the capitol at Wash
ington that caused considerable dam
age he went to Long Island and tried
to kill the foremost financfer IN the
country. His capture is believed to
have solved a murder mystery Of
nine years standing. he declared
that he had placed bomb on a trans
atlantic liner capable of destroying
the boat After two attempts he end
ed his own life.

While we do not approve of Irish

while, in no circumstances whatever,

the Irish regiments at the front are
among the bravest in trench or on

GENERAL JoFFRE NOT A
CATHOLIC.

The intense desire which Catholics
often manifest to claim prominent
persons as of their faith sometimes
leads to queer mistakes, says the Chi
cago New World" An instance in
point is General Joffre. A recent
number of the "Katholisher Western"
of Dubuque, gives a rather lengthy
account of the intense Catholicity of
the French commander-in-chief. Lest
this fiction of Joffre. in the matter of
his religious faith, receive any further
currency we say, on the assurance of
Monsignor de Tell, head of the Society
of the Holy Childhood, resident of
Paris, and Monsignor Tiberghein,
canon of st. John Lateran, a native of
Turquoin, that the French commander
is Protestant and member of the
Grand Orient of France. Whatever
may be said of his fairness to the
clergy in the French army, or of the
many other qualities he posses, Joffre
is not and never was Catholic.

this has been disclosed at Woolwich.
A large detachment from Scottish
regiment some weeks ago was moved
to that town for patrol duty. The
commanding officer communicated
with the Catholic Rector with view
to obtaining facilities for the Catholic
religious duties. On referring to the
regimental records it was discovered
that of the total number of 72O killed
soldiers brought to Woolwich, 47O
were Irish Catholics"
And yet Scotland gets credit-if
there is, really any credit to be gained
on the British side-for deeds of valol
performed by Irishmen in kits.
