a Profitable Record Cow.

In the last issue OF The Countr.
Gentleman we find the announcement
of a new champion COW of the Ayr
shire breed. She is Garclaugh Ma,
Mischief, 27944, imported and owned
by Penshurst Farm. Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania. In the yeal
ending Dec 26. 1915, she produced
s97.S7 pounds of fat. equal to 1O5S.S
pounds of butter. The average test
for the year was 3.545 per cent fat.
E. S. Deubler manager of the farm,
gives the following list of feeds con-
sumed by this big producer during
the year. with prices:
s61 pounds of bran. at $24
a ton 5 11.53
lob pounds of a proprietary
feed, at $1,000 a ton 1850
767 pounds of hominy. at
5000 a ton 11.2O
S37 pounds OF oil meal, at
$37.40 a ton 1855
1,O66 pounds of cottonseed
meal, at $29 a ton 1916
149 pounds of gluten, at
$25.40 a ton 1883
1853 pounds of ready mixed
feed, at $3.50 ton 2.59
66S pounds of beet pulp, at
$26 a ton S.6s
1900 pounds of corn silage,
at So a ton 1880
22,2S3 pounds of beets, at 81
a ton 44.47
1874 pounds of alfalfa hay,
at $24 a ton 22.49
906 pounds of mixed hay,
at SIS a ton $50
Green feed 423
Total cost of feed $177.39
This cows milk, $50 quarts, was
sold wholesale at six cents a quart,
bringing to the farm $7O6.SO. This
leaves a balance over feed cost of
$529.41. Her average production was
e9.5 pounds of milk day, and at the
end OF the test she was milking fifty
pounds a day. She is due to calve
again March 8, 1916.
We were particularly impressed
with the statement of the cost of this
tremendous production of milk and
the profit above the cost of feed that
is shown. It demonstrates that it was
profitable for this man to feed and
care for this COW so she would yield
such a large amount of butter. For
every dollar expended for feed he re-
ceived four dollars worth of milk. 1t
is true the average farmer cannot re-
ceive such a good price for his milk,
so we figure the results a common
farmer might expect. If he fed a
COW so she would produce 1865
pounds of butter in a year he could
expect to get thirty cents a pound for
the butter. This would give an in
come of $316.S9 in a year from the |
COW. If he had spent $177.S9 for her
feed 1t would give a profit of $139.5O. |
This would be $3.50 income for every |
dollar expended for feed.
We think it will be generally ad-
mitted that this is a larger profit per
COW than common farmers can show
and a larger return on the money ex-
pended for feed. So it indicates that
feeding for the largest possible pro-
duction is more profitable than COM
mon methods. Besides this it would |
bring any man able to do these things |
a larger amount Of satisfaction.

LITTLE LUCILLE ON A TOUR.

Little Lucille Helpenstein, the 10
year old Illinois miss who canned
119 jars Of fruit all by herself last
summer, is out on a tOur-telling
people how and why she did it. Lit

the fruit and cook il just so long
and have your jars capable Of tight
sealing, and watch them for several
DAYS after they are filled, and not let
people with hearty appetities look
too long upon the filled receptacles.

Lucille is just right. Lectures are

not so much as they deserve to be.

Teachers Cottages
Would Help SoLOe
School Quest ton

Teachers cottages, erected by the
community in or near the school
house. and used not only as the
teachers residence but also as the
community center, are advocated i'm
a bulletin prepared by r. s. kellogg
and distributed by the department OF
the interior through its bureau of
education to county superintendent
and other officers in charge of rural
schools The bulletin describes the
movement for teachers residences in
rural districts and gives plans Tor
cottages Of various sizes and types
Lack of suitable boarding accom-
modations is one of the most seri-
Gus difficulties in the way of seCur-
ing suitable teachers for country
schools the bulletin declares. The "a
are more than 100000 rural-school
districts In the United States and
over 100000 children of school
age who live i'm the country or in
towns Of less then $500 population.
yet it is impossible because Of the
living conditions to get teachers IF
the highest type to remain in the
country
Mr.. Kellogg says: MANY farm
houses have no accommodations
whatever for a teacher and often
kitchen. living room, and dining
room are combined in one, with no
heat in any other room in the house.
The farmer and his family have to
spend most of their time working
indoors or out, eating or sleeping
Their occupations and hours Of labor
in no way correspond to those Of
the teacher. which increases the dir
ficulty of hitting the teachers neces-
sary habits to those of the farmer
with any satisfaction 10 either. a
good teacher must spend a consid-
cradle amount Of time almost every
evening upon school work, for which
a quiet, comfortable room is essen
tiaI. If she ms SITS upon such a room
when she goes to board in the coun-
try she is likely TO be considered
stuck up" and exclusive. If she
gets a room by herself it is often un-
heated and too uncomfortable for
study in cold weather.
con the other hand, if the teacher
is forced To spend her entire time in
the living room with the rest Of the
family, she has no opportunity to
prepare properly for her school
duties. and is also very likely TO be
drawn Numerically into neighbor-
hood gossip and facuonal disputes
to the detrimert Of her teaching i'm
huence Many Of the better situated
families in the country district who
have the facilities. do not care TO
take a steady ooarder. so that if a
teacher gets a place To board at ali
she may BE forced TO 20 10 farm
houses whore only the barest accom-
modations IAN be secured"
Tt is because Of these conditions
that the teachers movement mas de-
veloped rapidly in the past few
years. until. according 10 an investi-
cation by J. c. Muerman OF the bU-
reau Of education. recorded In the
bulletin. there are now one or more
teachers cottages in every state. and
in the state of Washington, where
the movements has been fostered by
Mrs. Josephine Preston. state super
intendent OF pa olic instruction there
are now los of these cottages.
