SCRUB COWS CAME 70 COLLEGE.
Seven Years of Care, Feed and Good
Blood Have Worked Wonders With
@rN "'~ Arkansas Herd IL

Both practical dairymen and agri
| that common scrub cows would in
crease in production with better care
and management and that their daugh
ters by pure bred sires would be bet
ter dairy animals than their dams
but it has remained for the dairy hus'
station to offer the first scientific
proof of such belief. This proof,
based on the now widely known "Ar-
kansas COW experiment" has just been
made public in bulletin No. 1G5, writ.
ten by Prof. Fl. II. Kildee and A. c.
McCandlish. " " .'
When Prof. II. G. VanPelt in 1907
searched the country over to find the
most typical scrub cows in existence,
he found them in Arkansas IN an iso-
lated section where no pure bred bulls
had ever been used. They were all
inferior, small and the fourteen ami
mails were q sorry looking lot when
they arrived In Ames in the summer Of
1907. ..s.
These scrubs were given at once the
same care, feed and shelter as the
pure bred cattle of the college herd.
The COWS and heifers were crossed
with pure bred bulls, and their Off
spring in turn crossed. After eight
years the herd now numbers 80 ami
mails, and data from three generations
is now available.
The results obtained while the ek'
pertinent will not be completed for &
number OF years, show already what
care, feed and crossing with pure bred
sires will do With the Holstein
grades the first generation from the
scrubs showed an average increase
of 81 per cent in milk production and
Al per cent in butter fat The Guern-
sey grades, due to poor sire mainly
increased but ~ per cent in milk and
6 per cent in fat. One Guernsey, sir
ed by the college bull, produced over
10 per cent more milk and l07 per
cent more butter fat than her scrub
dam. The original scrub cows, re-
spending to better care and feed, gave,
up to their fourth lactation period,
50 per cent more milk and 81 per cent
more fat than in the first period.

Factors That Determine Salaries.

In the Woman's Home Companion a
successful business man says that sal.
aries are fixed by the amount and quail
ity Of work that a man can deliver.
Pull" in his opinion, is a negligible
factor in the business world.
And that applies to the Nun who Is
getting $4,000 a year just as truly as
it does to the man whu Is getting $50 a
month. The only way TINT l can be
paid more money than am getting Is
by delivering more work to my com
pany than l am now delivering or by
showing my company how to save
more money and so have a larger profit
at the end of the year." ..

ing of that vessel on the ground that
she was violating neutrality and

ped October 13 of this year, about
forty sea miles southeast of Cape

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.- The fear
that If present peace negotiations fail,
this nation then must clear Its slate
on the submarine situation with Ger
many, grew apace today.
But President Wilson intends 10
push this peace work to the limit TO
avoid possible subsequent unpleasant
ness with Germany If possible.
Both President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing have decided to main'
tain a discreet silence on this topic.
This Is due, it is believed, to the
fact that they do not wish to appear
to be wearing chip on the shoulder
when peace is being talked with even
slight hope of success.
There is now no mistaking, officials
believe. that President Wilson's peace
notes to the belligerents and the two
subsequent "explanations" by Secre'
tary Lansing, in effect, constituted a
warning against any unbridled acts
of war that would involve American
lives or rights. Since it has always
been this governments attitude that
violations which affect property are
not even to be compared to violations
whicn affect life, the warning Is gen.
orally interpreted as being directed.
therefore, chiefly against the central
powers. whose submarines have not
only DESTROYED and endangered Amerl-
can lives. out have also DESTROYED
American property admittedly in VIOLA
ton of all rules Of humanity and In
ternational warfare.
Officials. however, are trying not to
over emphasize this as they really
want to aid peace, and have aiready
put the government on record as not
considering any change in the neu-
trality policy at this time.
