Cow makes WonderfuI RECORD

A Guernsey COW in the Delaware Farm
herd has earned $665 90 in one year.
After deduction OF $I43.co for feed. and
$42 90 for labor. her activities show net
profit of $3.50 90 for the year. This COW.
Imp Yenadizze's Flora 3634o, produced
in 365 consecutive days I3 86I pounds
of milk and 36S 20 pounds of butter fat.
Her product was sold in the form OF ~
per cent cream for 20 cent per quart, and
the skim milk fed to young stock. 1865
quarts of cream at 20 cents. and 10. 73I
pounds of skim milk at rs cents per cwt.
are worth about $34o 90; the manure was
worth about $2s 90. and her calf was sold
for 100000.
She received for roughage alfalfa hay
and corn silage. and her grain was taken
from mixture OF the following proper
tions: 200 lbs. bran. 200 lbs hominy.
I2o pounds of dried brewers grains,
100 Id. of dried beet pulp rs ID. of cotton
addition to the above mentioned feeds,
she received daily 4 lb of dried beet pulp
and ~ lbs of molasses. Her bedding
was shredded corn stover and all eff it
went into the manure. She carried a calf
during the last six months of the years
test and was milking quite heavily at the
end.
The fact that the average COW of Della
ware produces yearly only 600 pounds
of milk and about 1870 pounds of butter
fat. makes the record of this COW especi-
ally notable. 1t shows that it pays to
keep high grade of stock, and also that
profit like that of this COW will easily
justify a greater outlay of capital on
breeding stock than is usually made.

Baltimore, mother of John ] Hand, Jr.,
jitney driver, 2I years old. was owner Of
h,e oh 1oft
daughter, Julia. who is ID years old.
The Baltimore & Ohio officials issued a
statement in which they said that marks
found on the engine indicate that the
jitney ran into the tIain-that the train
did not run into the jitney. They say iii
was the driving wheel of the engine
which came in contact with the automo o.
bile'' and that the jitney and the men
were found fifty feet from the crossing.
The jitney broke the air pump on the
engine. setting the air brakes and stop
ping the train automatically. It ran 900
feet before it stopped, however. and the
railroad officials say that if the train,
which was running at high speed. had
struck the jitney the vehicle and the men
would have been dragged a large part OF
that distance.
Coroner William P. Dean, of Elkton,
conducted an inquest Monday afternoon.
The testimony showed that the automo-
bile ran into the engine.
The jury exonerated the railroad COM
pany from blame, but urged that steps be
taken to keep night watehman as well
as day watchman at this crossing, which
has been considered dangerous.
