uT is more or less a deplorable fact
that many barnyards at certain
seasons OF the year are practically
impossible. The condition of many
barnyards and feed lots during the
muddy weather Of early spring is
such that it used to be said a man
should not feed cattle unless he could
wade in mud knee deep"
In many cases the condition of the
yards could be greatly improved by
a little provision for better drainage,
especially in localities where the sur
face of the land is such that the
barnyard and feed lots cannot be To-
Gated on hillside with ample sur
face drainage.
The successful drainage of barn
yard must receive consideration other
than that involved in the practice of
land drainage. This is due primar-
lily to the fact that the continued
tramping Of the stock over the sur
face has pudding action and tends
to make the surface waterproof.
Problems Met.
This action is more noticeable
with some soils than with others; in
this connection it should be stated
that a gravelly soil makes by far the
best location for a barnyard, but, of
course, this cannot be obtained often.
However, the selection of the barn
yard should always be given atten-
tion by the stockman.
He should be careful to place the
yards and lots where the best sur
face drainage may be obtained. Often
much can be accomplished by a little
grading and ,stockmen and farmers
should make use of the proper
changes in the surface and grade to
produce the best results. | have OBJ.

Separating Profitable
From Improbable Cows

Undoubtedly half of the cows upon
farms other than those composing
the large modernly operated daries,
are kept at a loss. This includes
the ordinary dairyman's animals, as
well as the farmers herd and the
home dairy animal or animals. There
are few COW owners who know the
exact producing power OF their stock
They know that some Of the animals
give more and better milk than the
others. but they have no idea wheth-
er the best cows they possess are
yielding them profit or loss.
The keeping Of even a single ami
NAL that does not yield a sufficient
return to pay for the food consumed
is an unnecessary expenditure. 1t
costs no more to keep cow that
gives COCO pounds of milk annually
than one yielding but 1000 pounds
1t is the COW that gives the greatest
return for the food consumed that
the dairyman should consider. Dairy
ing at its best is run on a narrow
margin OF profit.
What makes one COW better than
another Is the Unborn tendency to
produce and the care she receives
No matter how well an animal Is
cared for, If heavy production is not
part of her composition she will
never be profitable. On the other
hand, there are thousands of excel
lent animals that are not given an
opportunity to do their best. I'm
proper feeding and sloven care are
keeping them In the class of small
producers. The care the ordinary
herd receives is not conducive to
great results. The best cattle will
not become profitable II i'll treated,
poorly fed and improperly attended.
1t Is impossible to tell from an ami
mails outward appearance what she
is capable of doing. A cow may have
every sign that smacks of heavy
yielding and still fall far short of
being a profitable individual. Then
again the worst looking old scrub
of an animal may be the greatest
producer of the herd. Outward ap-
pearances count for little. 1t is the
actual production that counts for
something. Dairy cattle are very de-
ceptive in their conformation and the
best Judge of stock cannot tell what
cow is capable OF doing when IT
comes to yielding milk
In separating the poorer animals
from the good ones the dairyman
should first bring the entire herd VI
to its greatest producing power
through careful and proper feeding
and the best of care. When every
COW is given the opportunity to pro
duce at her best, then the real tes
of producing power can be giver
through the use of the scales to as
certain the quantity and the use Of
the Babcock test to find the fat yield
As fat is the most valuable part o

the milk, the value of an animal is
best indicated by the number OF
pounds Of fat she produces. To find
the amount of fat cow produces one
must know the pounds Of milk she
yielded and the percentage Of fat the
milk contains.

The supreme court In an elaborate
and unanimous opinion signed the

schools proposition; at the same time
and in the same opinion the court re-
fused TO tie up the $l,25O,OOO 10 the
credit Of the common school fund in
the state treasury. In the former case
the court held that a specific legisla'
tive appropriation was necessary
while in the common school fund case
the state constitution covered the
matter.

tion against the state aid" tuAd

The discrimination set forth were

school board to choose arbitrarily the
beneficaries, and that towns having a
population of under $500 cannot par

held that the contention that 1t would

SAWYER RACING
BILL IS KILLED
SUPREME COURT HELD THAT

RACING BILL.
ORAL EVIDENCE IS BARRED
Endorsements on Bill Shows II Was
DisapproVed and Vetoed March 8,
1915, Says the Court
Little Rock.

Little Rock
The supreme court, by the vote OF
3 to 2, Chief Justice McCulloch and
Justice Hart dissenting held that Gov
Hays did veto the Sawyer racing bill
passed by the last Legislature,
No dissenting decision was filed, but
Chief Justice McCulloch said he and
Justice Hart had dissented on the
grounds that Gov, Hays action in
signing 1t and sending 1t TO the secre'
tary Of states Office to be filed, com
pleted the official action necessary to
approve the measure and make 1t a
law,
"The governors own testimony
proved that he signed the bill and
gave It to his secretary to be FLED
with the secretary Of state" said
Chief Justice McCulloch, whether
he signed It with intentions later Of
vetoing 1t does not interfere with the
official action Of signing it, which ap'
proved it."
The three Justices voting to affirm
the lower courts decision based their
decision on the grounds that oral evil
dence could not disproye the evidence
OF the record, which shows a vetoing
OF the bill.
In concluding an opinion the ma
jority Of the court said;
"The legislative record shows that
the bill in question was not approved,
but was vetoed, and therefore we do
not undertake TO review and pass
upon the questions Of fact about
which the governor and other wit
nesses testified upon the occasion Of
his writing his name and the words
which appear upon the bill The in
dorseNents now on the bill show that
It was dsapproyed and vetoed March
8, 1915, at 1 o'clock p, m, The en-
tries upon the journal Of the House of
Representatives show that on March
s, 1915, the governor returned the bill
to the House OF Representatives,
which was the house in which It orig,
mated, with message showing his
objections thereto, and this message
was entered at large upon the journal
Of the House,
Looking only TO those records
