THE NEW MILK CHAMPION.

A new worlds record for milk
production has been established
by Lutscke Vale Cornucopia
1lO5O5. a Holstein COW of the
state of Washington. Her mar
gin over the above that of the
former champion, lilly Alcartra,
is so decided that, though there
is no official announcement as
yet of her record, she has UNI
doubtedly passed a new mark in
milk yield.
Her owner announces her milk
yield for the 800 days to be 3D.
1892 pounds. According to
these figures she is 1873 pounds
in excess of the record of Tilly
Alcartra with 30,451.4 pounds.
Her record exceeds that of the
former marvel. Creamelle Vale,
with 29,59l4 pounds by 1,647.S
pounds. This record of the IA
nous Colantha 4th's Johanna
with 27,432.5 pounds is sur
passed by the stupendous margin
of 3,S06.7 pounds. Colantha
4th's Johanna was for years the
champion producer of all breeds.
Lutscke Vale Cornucopia fresh
ened this last time in May, 1915,
at the age of Z years month.
She gave birth to large twin bull
calves, which, her owner advises
us, left her weak and in poor
condition as she was only dry six
weeks before calving. She has
freshened every year since 1908,
ana has been very persistent
mixer. With the exception of the
lactation period previous to this
worlds record, She was tested
each year and has a creditable
standing each time.
The detailed figures of her
record are interesting. Her best
days milk was 1877 pounds; for
$50 days she averaged over 100
pounds milk a day. Her record
for the months of the year is as
follows: May, Is days, 1880
pounds! June 3, 361.7 pounds
July, 3,397.9 pounds; August,
3,2O2.6 pounds; September, g.
1917 pounds: October, 1898
pounds; November, 2,420.S
pounds; December, 2,3OS.3
pounds; January, 2,151.9 pounds;
February, 1871 pounds; March,
2,OSS.5 pounds; April, 2,177.2
pounds; May, IL days, S61.1
pounds. Total, 1882 pounds.
The 14th day of May, the fourth
day after calving, she gave So
pounds of milk. On the last day
of her test, 365 days later. she
gave Ills pounds, which shows
great persistency, indeed. She
was MIXED four times a day dur
ing the entire year and never
missed a single feed. The summer
of 1915 was a very hot, dry one
for Washington, with very little
pasture, and the winter one of
the longest and coolest known in
that country for the last 35 years.
Though the weather was against
her for almost all of the 365
days, she overcame all disadvan-
tages and has to her credit a rec
ord Of 31,239.2 pounds of milk
and nearly 1000 pounds of but
ter.
Lutchke Vale Cornucopia is
owned by William Bishop. Chin
acum, Wash. She was bred by
NJ. S. Nye Of Preble. N. Y, and
was purchased at the age of ID
months by her present owner.
Her sire is Aaggie Cornucopia
Johanna Lad Jr., famous sire
in Holstein circles. Her dam is
Lutscke Sadie Vale, one of the
many record daughters of Home
stead Hengerveld De Kol Paul
Kimball's Dairy Farmer.

THE POPULAR MAN
"Good Fellow" Makes the Worst Kind
Of Husband, According to
Sophisticated Widow.

A sophisticated widow, airing her
views in a New York paper, declares
that the good fellow, the clubable man.
makes the very worst kind of husband.
The type of man who is loved by men,
chiefly for his genial faults, is a terror
to live with. rays this lady, who is
credited with considerable experience.
Such a man is quite incapable Of
self-study and of self-criticism; he
knows the men like him and he can't
think why his wife doesn't. The man
who is popular with men, says this
lady, never gets on, either in business
or anything else. He takes pride in
being a good spender and he c%ultivates
the art Of generously spending. to tie
detriment of the art Of making. The
wife Of such a man is forever anxious
about financial matters, usually neg.
lected, invariably unhappy. And the
lei are always SO sorry for him, be-
Ing tied to such q fussy wife.

COMPARISON IN MEMS FAVOR
Writer Asserts That the Female Sex

The reader may differ from me-, bua
I believe that woman is much less
conventional than man, writes w. L.
George in the Atlantic Monthly. She
does all the conventional things and
attacks other women savagely for
breaches of convention. But you will
generally find that where a man may
with impunity break a convention he
will not do so, while, II secrecy d
guaranteed. a woman will please her
self first and repent only If necessary.
It follows that q man Is conven.
tional because he respects convention;
woman conventional because she 10

not obey convention. I submit that
this shows a greater degree of conven.
tionality in man.

BROUGHT TO LIFE BY LIGHT
Poppy Seeds, Twenty Centuries Old,
Sprang Into Brilliant Bloom
When Uncovered.

Some years ago there was see In q
silver mine of Laurium a curious in.
stance Of the resuscitating power of
light after many years. The silver
mines of Laurium rel abandoned
more than 1000 years ago as unwork-
able, and were filled fer the most part
with the Stag from the workings of the
miners.
It was discovered, however, that this
Stag contained plenty Of silver, which
could easily be rendered available by
up-to-date appliances. Accordingly 1t
was removed to the.furnace, and, when
next the mine was visited, q wonderful
transformation was found to have ta-
ken place. Instead of a heap Of rub
bish, the mine had become a gorgeous
flower garden. The entire space was
covered with a brilliant show of pop
pies. This profuse vegetable life. 1t is
asserted, belonged to the age in which
the mines we're worked. Twenty cen
turtles old, therefore, were those poppy
seeds; yet, when the removal Of the
Stag allowed the light to fall upon
them, they sprang into life and bloom
under its influence.
