it's consumption still continues. No nation has more rigid laws against the consumption of opium than this county and yet the United States dur ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915 collected nearly $3.0OO in tax on dealers in opium. This tax, designed to be prohibitive, was in no case paid for license to deal, but came into the treasury in the form Of tax col le cted by process of law or through compromise after the evader of the tax had been discovered.
 Comes Through Mexico.
 Most of the opium now coming into the United States is smuggled over the Mexican border. Mexico has laws prohibiting the importation or use of opium but on account of her internal difficulties has had little time to spend in enforcing this statute. Therefore, large quantities of the drug have been brought into the southern republic from the Orient and been smuggled across the border into the United States.
 The customs division maintains a v;gilant watch along the border to apprehend these smugglers but on account of the reward of successful smuggling being so high, the traffic still continues, Uncle Sam's border watchmen are equipped with high powered automobiles in which to chase the opium smugglers and have

UNCLE SAM. NAGES DETERMINED WAR
 ON OPIUM TRADE
Despite Rigid Laws and Harsh Penalties, Snug
 glers Continue at Work.
(By Sidney Espey)

Washington, Jan. 8.--The federal government has inaugurated a spirit ed campaign against the opium traf- fif in the United States in the hope of materially reducing the amount of the drug consumed and of discourag- ing smugglers from bringing it into the country.
 One of the strangest phenomena of the operation of government is the continued consumption of opium, ac- cording to the officials having to do with the administration of the laws against it's manufacture, sale and consumption. Although opium is a prohibited product in practically every civilized country on the globe

made many captures.
 The present law provides a penalty of two years imprisonment for smuggling or dealing in opium. Gus toms division officials say that a smuggler will risk a two-year sen tence to bring in four or five thou sand dollars worth of the drug. Tho t1 1easury wants this penalty increased to ten years. It is understood that, az a part of the opium-suppressing campaign, the department of justice has sent word around to federal dis trict attorneys and federal judges that no leniency is obe shown opium smugglers in the future..

for the butcher, and is in the market fer one or two good milch COWS.
 There's a whole sermon for dairy men in the result of the test. One thing that seems to be proved con- clusively is that the prolific COW is the most profitable COW. One of MT. Faucets poorest cows produced milk that tested GA per cent of butter fat, but she produced so little that the re- turn does not justify her keep. The second heaviest nlilk-producer yield ea a product that tested only 4.6 per cent butter fat, but the quantity off, set the difference, so far as butter dairying is concerned. MT. Faucette's best producer is his most profitable COW. Eisi
 With these figures at hand, the dairyman can determine not only the cows that are returning profits, but whether he can obtain better returns byselling the milk or utilizing the product for butter-making. There are, doubtless, number of other dairymen who would profit by con- ducting similar test, which is simple and does not require much time or trouble. Professor Dial will gladly cooperate with. any of his schools patrons.
 The local federal demonstration agents highly commend such work as MT. Dial was doing, and there ex- ists the closest harmony between the principal of the Watson Chapel school and Messrs. Lambert and Wat son.
 The benefits of the service MT. Dial is rendering cannot be estimated, but it is policy that could be pursued with benefit by the head of every rural school in the country.

 Mir. Faucef,tc will continue to study the feeding problem.
 Many Cows Unprofitable.
 It is said that in the ordinary dairy herd, selected at random one-third of the cows are "boarders," one third barely pay expenses, and one-tnird yield a profit.
 Owing to the fact that MT. Faucett had given the selection of his herd careful study, he found that from each COW he was realizing small profit. But he also discovered that the difference between the gain on his best COW and the gain on his poorest COW was $S.79 month. Multiply this by 12, and you have $95.45, the difference for year. This is worth consideration by dairymen. since the effort and cost of keeping good COW are no greater than for a poor one. Mir. Faucette has decided this is a wise conclusion, and, as a result of the test, he has three COWS
