Why Cows Give More Milk Than
 They Used To.

A contributor to the current issue of Farm and Preside explains as fol- lows, why cows give more milk than they used to:
 "Cattle used to be bred chiefly for work. Therefore the cows did not give much milk. Breeds improve the thing for which they are selected.
 "In 179O the work cows of Germany gave an average of a pint and half a day. Interest in milk increased, and by 1900 the average yield was a quart and a half. Breeding went on milk ward, and in 1910 the German cows averaged two quarts of milk each per day. In 1920 three, in 1880 four and there the gain stopped for thirty years. But in 1860 the production had increased to six quarts, and by 1870 to eight"

Support the National Guard.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
 It seems a characteristic attitude of American employers to frown on any military activity by their employees. "No, you can't have ten days off to go tin soldering" Kansas City em- ployer told salesman of his recent ly. If you want to be a soldier join the army"
 No attitude could be more short sighted. Outside of our tiny regular army the National Guard is the sole trained land defense of the United States. And it's entirely inadequate training of ten days or two weeks each year is hampered in a most ser ious manner by the failure of employ CTS to recognize the value of organi- zed militia and allow their employees, who belong 10 National Guard units, time for field training.
 Such condition is to be deplored. 1t would not be out of province for the commercial organizations of the city to appoint committees, as is done in Washington, D. C., and many other cities, to assist the officers of the guard in getting out their full com pany and regimental strength.
 Just now. while the nation is req lizing it's lack of proper national de- 1ense, such campaign should meet with popular approval It would re-
