Ames, June 12.-During the past
three months three new COW testing as
sociations have been organized in Iowa
by the agricultural extension depart
ment Of Iowa State College. making
thirteen now in operation. The three
organizations, at Davenport, Klemme
and Brooklyn, add seventy-five mem
bers and more than 1000 COWS to the
associations of the state and bring
the total number undergoing test to
$500.
At Comanche, in the Clinton County
Cow Testing Association, one member
increased the profit of his dairy herd
over 1900 per cent in a single month.
The tester found. at the end OF the
first months test, that the owner OF
this particular herd was feeding an
extravaganza and wasteful mixture OF
feeds A change was recommended
and adopted and as a result profit OF
only $2.47 on the herd in December
1914, was transformed into a profit Of
5000 for January, 1915. In the sec
.ond month the COWS produced $500
pounds more milk, and 1913 pounds
more butter fat than in the first month.
yet the cost Of feed was nearly s32 less
in the second month. Also. it is in
teresting to note that the price of but
ter fat was only 35 cents per pound in
January as against 81 cents in De-
cember.
For Sanitary Milk.
To encourage the marketing Of bet
ter and more sanitary milk, the dairy

conducting series Of market milk
contests which will continue thru the

Of gold and silver medals for ex-

MAN RAIDER, ENTERS UNITED

WAS CHASED BY BRITISH
Harbor Lined With British Merchant
Ships as Captives of German
Raider Were Released.

Newport News.-That the German
merchant raider Kron Prinz Wilhelm.
which came into this port through the
Virginia capes, was chased by British
wa-ships and marvelously escaped de-
struction, was the assertion of British
officers of merchant vessels destroyed
by the Wilhelm in the south seas.
The sixty-one British officers and
men of the steamers lamar and Cole
by were taken from the Wilhelm
aboard a tug and rushed down the
river to the British horse ship Cas-
andra, which will sail for Glasgow.
The harbor was lined with British
merchant ships as the captives of the
German raider were released, and as
their tug steamed by more than 1000
British sailors lined the decks of the
ships and cheered.
When the liberated Britishers reach
ed the Casandras deck, they hurriedly
tossed the remnants of their luggage
aboard and danced around like school
boys in anticipation Of the trip TO
their native land, joyous that they had
miraculously escaped destruction by
the guns of their own eountry's war
ships
