After Four Years of DiscOuraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Upin Despair. Husband
 Came to Rescue.


 catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanIy troubles, and during this time, 1 could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, would have severe pains in my left side.
 The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

Origin of ''Petritied Forest"
 of Northern Arizona

The 'Petrifed Forest" of northern Arizona, really series of petrifed forests, lies a short distance southeast of Holbrook, on the line of the Santa Fe rail way. There are four forests, " included in a government reser- vation called ''Petrifed Forest National Monument" created by presidential proclamation in 1906. The name forest" is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in Triassic time, the age of reptiles. The trees were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk Island pine, now used for indoor decoration. Doubtless they grew in a nearby region and, after falling, drifted down a water course and lodged in some eddy or a sand bank. Later they were buried by sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. The conversion to stone was effected by gradual replacement of the woody ma terial by silicia in the form called chalcedony, deposited by under ground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposits at the same time has given the brilliant and beautiful brown. yellow and red tints which appear in much of the material.
 Some of the tree trunks are six feet in diameter and more than 190 feet in length. In the forest there is a fine trunk that forms natural bridge over small ravine, the water having first washed away the overlying clay and sand then following a creyice, worked out the channel underneath. The length of this log is no feet, and the diameter four feet at the butt and one and one-half feet at the top.
 The petrified woods are beauti- ful objects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to a thickness of 0.003 inch or less and placed under the microscope they show perfectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct, though now they are replaced by chal- cedony. By studying the sections F. H. Knowlton, of the United States geological survey. depart ment of the interior, has found that most of these araucarian trees were of the species Arauca- rioxylon arizonicum. tree now extinct. It is known to have lived at the same geologic time also in the east central part of | the United States, where the re- mains of some of it's associates nave been found. These included other cone bearing trees. tree ferns, cyeads and gigantic horse ,ails, which indicate that at that .ime the rainfall was abundant. -U. s. Geological Survey.

cow is GREATEST PRODUCER

It is truly said that the COW is mans
greatest b~enefactor. Hail, wind,
droughts and floods may come, destroy
our crops and Danish our hopes, but,
from what is left, the COW manufac-
lures the most nourishing and life-sus-
tanning foods.
For 1000 years she has shown her
allegiance to man, sharing alike in his
prosperity and adversely, responding
to all that was done for her, until
through her development she has be-
come indispensable as an economic fac
tor in u national progress.
Dairy communities are rich COM
munities. The COW produces the most
and best food at the least cost; she
brings in q steady income; she con-
verts cheap roughage into profit !;
makes the farm worth more; builds
big red barns and good homes-means
living on the farm.
Cow Makes Farm Worth More.
There is always an air of perma-
hence and prosperity about a well-man-
aged dairy farm.
A man feels independent when he
knows his income is steady. The dairy
business is a cash business. 1t calls
for Intellectual activity. The success
of the man engaged in it depends upon
his using his head, developing his judg-
ment.
Dairying builds up the farm. 1t re
quires fewer acres to produce a good
living, and consequently leads to closer
neighbors and more thickly-settled
communities.
AS land, labor and feed increase in
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-09-14

This is not profitable dairying. Yet
farmers cannot greatly increase dairy
production unless they apply the scales
and Babcock test to their individual
COWS and find out the cows that pay
for their feed and those which do not.
The cooperative contrasting associa-
ton enables all the dairy farmers Of a
community to test all their cows. With
an average of 25 members the cost of
such an association usually amounts
to 81 to $3.50 per COW per year.
Benefit of the Cow Testing Associa-
ton.
According to Iowa bulletin No. 10
1850 yearly records from 1T different
dairy herds have been completed in the
five contrasting associations in Iowa
which have been organized in the state
since 1909.
The average COW in the testing asso-
Citations produced 217 pounds of butter
fat per year at a net profit of $32.77,
after paying for the feed at market
prices less the cost of hauling.
If the 100000 milk COWS of Iowa
produced as much butterfat per year
as the average COW in the contrasting
associations, it would mean an in
creased production for the state of
115,500,000 pounds of butterfat per
year, worth, at so cents per pound,
$~34,650,0O0.
The most profitable COW returned
her owner a net profit Of 1925, while
the poorest COW lacked $25.92 Of pay
ing for her feed.
The contrasting association is the
best method of detecting the loafers in
the herd. 1t puts dairying on a bust
ness basis, arouses the interest of the
owner, his boys and hired man in the
cows, stirs up local pride by bringing
the people of the community together
| to talk over their business and helps
to make farm work enjoyable and in
| ~teresting.
Some people think that it is q hard
| job to milk cows and care for stock,
but we will find it just the opposite If
we will take an interest in the work
and get our heads in the game. All
work is drudgery unless we like It
put the best we have into 1t, and use
intelligence. The COW has lifted many
a mortgage and saved the home.

the enormous sum of nearly $1,000,000
600. Only the corn crop exceeds the
dairy products as a source of income
to the farmers of the nation.
Neither the production of butter nor
cheese has kept up with the increase of
population. In 1910 there were 90
625,000 dairy cows in the United
States, an increase of about 100000
head in so years. This wonderful
growth in dairying and cheese manu-
featuring has added enormously to the
material wealth of every community
and state where these pursuits are car
ried on. 1t has also been a wonderful
aid wherever 1t has been conducted in
telligently in conserving the fertility
of the soil. This n great advantage
to the wealth of the nation can hardly
be computed in dollars and cents.
In 1870 practically all of the butter
and nearly all of the cheese, except in
the older states as New York and Ohio,
were made on the farm. The average
price of farm butter was about Is cents
and nearly all of 1t was sold or traded
for dry goods and groceries at the
country stores. The export market for
cheese governed the price in New York
and Ohio. which practically were the

worked a speedy transformation In ne
market. 1t placed Wisconsin. Illinois
and other states on the dairy map and
opened up the channels Of export to
their cheese and butter. Later came
the cream separator, which was a great
factor in the development Of the dairy
business. Since that time dairying has
been growing very rapidly.
Points for the Dairyman.
Any man to make success in the
dairy business should bear In mind
these points:
L. Strict regularity in feeding and
milking.
2. Good permanent pastures.
3. At least one silo for winter feed
ing and one with a smaller capacity for
summer feeding.
4. Cows that will give at least 1000
pounds of milk or 200 pounds of butter
in u year.
8. Plenty of roughage; and when
pastures fail some concentrates, &C cot
tonseed meal and gluten feeds.
6. Pure water. High producing cows
must have large quantities of water. 1t
is well said that it is cheaper to warm
ice cold water with a tank heater than
to allow the COW to warm it with so
cent corn. The water tank should be
In a cozy, sheltered, sunny place.
Z. Clean and well ventilated barns
and healthy cows. Dark, damp, steamy,
poorly ventilated barns are ideal places
| for the development and spread OF
tuberculosis. Remedy: l. Test the
COWS with the tuberculin test. 2. Cut
new windows and let in an abundance
of sunlight. 3. Provide proper ventila
ton.
S. Quietness and kindness. Lout
talking, swearing and rough handling
are not permitted in a ~well-manageS
dairy.
The average dairy COW of this coun
try produces something like $500
pounds of milk in a year and approx
mately $50 to 100 pounds Of butteSfat

gether one-half of the complete car
cass, and is not in any sense an esti-
nation of the composition of the car
cass.
Princess Carlotta produced proteins
sufficient for more than three steers;
nearly fat enough for two; ash enough
to build the skeletons for three, and
in addition, 920 pounds of milk sugar
worth as much per pound for food as
ordinary sugar.
1t is because of this economical use
Of food that the dairy COW and not the
steer is kept on high-priced land. When
land is cheap and feed abundant the
meat-producing animals predominant,
but when the land becomes high in
value and feed expensive the farmer
| turns to the dairy cow.
Duchess Skylark Ormsby is the
| worlds champion butter producer. The
results Of her 365-consecutive-days
test, conducted by the Minnesota Agri-
cultural college, shows that she pro-
duced 27,761 pounds of milk, nearly Ia
tons, or over % times her own weight.
The butterfat contained in this years
milk yield weighed 1905 pounds.
At 35 cents a pound, she produced
about $500 worth of commercial butter
in one year. To her credit of $500
worth of butter must be added over
10000 pounds of skim milk and butter
milk, about IA tons of manure, and a
calf, which pay for her feed and care,
making the $500 a net profit to the
owner.

Farm Lands Increase in Value.

The value of farm lands of the Unit
ed States is estimated at $45.55 per
acre, as compared with $40.S5 a year
ago, $40.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and $36.23 four years ago.
The census reported the value of
farm lands in 1910 as $32.40, and in
1900 as $15.57 per acre.
In recent years the value of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about 5 per cent a year, or approx
mately 50 per acre per year, The cx.
ceptional increase Of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac.
ton in the southern cotton states fol.
lowing a temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly OF
grain.

ut is interesting to learn that Lady
Oak, a Holstein cow, now owned by
the Minnesota experiment station, in

amount of human food equal to a calf
weighing 115 pounds. In a years rec
ord this COW produced 993 pounds of
fat, 631 pounds Of protein and 1852
pounds of carbohydrates. This product
was equal to 266 calves weighing 125
pounds each, or 142 calves weighing
200 pounds each, % yearlings weighing
500 pounds each, or 5 steers weighing
1,100 pounds each. These figures indi-

This statement, impossible as it seems,
