large muzzle and immense middle

eat, although in the first part of the
pounds of grain per day. She was
never off her feed except once when
by accident she got in the barn and
ate a bushel of wheat. At this time
she came near dying. It was neCeS-
sary. for the veterinarian to open her
with the trocar. and her milk produc-
tion for several days was practically
nothing But for this sickness she
would no doubt have made a larger
yield for the year. Her average but
ter fat test was 1888 per cent and her
highest test was 4.S7 percent
The test was conducted according to

tested and the test authenticated by
the officials of the dairy department
of the Texas Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college, who have supervision of all
official dairy tests in the state.

Of the results of this test because it
indicates the possible profit from dairy
farming in the South, which we have
been trying to teach for several years.
Then too, I have wanted for a long
time to make personally a practical
test of the principles of selection and
feeding of dairy cattle, that we have
been teaching in the agricultural col
leges. I have other COWS that will be
tested, and I hope to make better rec
Ords yet. There are great many very
fine cows in Texas that would bring
credit to themselves and their breed
ers, if given a chance by test. Mrs.

One of the improvements which Mr..

The machine is a new thing, says
the Maria Era, in this section of the

with a spout extending downward to
a level with the bottom Of the rear
axle. The interior of the machine con-
tains a screen and no cake can go
through the spout without first pass

ten pounds of meal and fine particles
OF cake is saved from each sack by
rescreening, regardless Of how well it
is screened before leaving the mill
The machine recommends itself to

utility. One man only is required in
feeding with this machine. He puts

confession.
