AGGIE HEIFER MAKES A GOOD
RECORD
Holstein Cow Produces 52i Pounds of
Butter and 1887 Pounds of Milk
in One Year With Her First
Calf

A pure bred Holstein heifer, Korn-
dyke Sarcastic Jolie End, in the dairy
herd of the Colorado Agricultural
College, has recently completed a
year.of milk production with her first
calf. Her record for this time is 524
pounds estimated butter and 1887
pounds of milk.
This heifer is a daughter of the
best producing cow in the herd, Korn-
dyke Sarcastic Jolie, but the indica-
tons are that she will soon beat her
dams record. Her sire is Woodcroft
Sir Fayne, bred by DIR. Hubert Work,
Pueblo, and her dams sire is Sir
Korndyke Hengerveld Canary, the SEN
Tor herd bull at the college.
Sir Korndyke Hengerveld Canary
is the son of Korndyke Hengerveld de
Kol, herd bull at the University of
Missouri, and through him to his sire
Hengerveld de Kol and TO his grand
sire is Pontiac Korndyke. These lat
ter have been the two greatest sires of
tested daughters in the Holstein breed.
Korndyke Sarcastic Jolie End is not
a large heifer, and her udder does not
appear large, but it is Of excellent
quality. She is very persistent
mixer, and is still giving three gal
Ions a day at the cose of the -
months test.-Chas. /. Bray, Colorado

a writer in the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The impregnable fortress was fought
over by the Spanlards and the Moors
for two centuries. and Il came in for
the keen interest Of Oliver Cromwell,
who Numbered at the British the fact
that If they ever hoped to become the
dominating sea power Of the world
they must control the Mediterranean
from Gibraltar. This great necessity
was never lost sight Of. but a suit

war of the Spanish succession, when
England and France were at each

Under Admiral Sir George Brooks

attack on the Spanish defenses and
captured Gibraltar in 1904. Presently
the English sickened Of their bargain.

his gun was rusty. Moreover. there
were men playing tenpins and dining

ARTIFICIAL SILKS BEING WIDE
LY USED
Process Used in Producing Imitation
of Silk Worms Product-How
They May Be Detected

While artificial silk has had large
sales in this country for some time,
it is probable that the next few years
will see an increasing amount of it on
the market. For this reason it may
be of interest to know from what it
is made, what are its wearing quail
ties, and some simple household tests
for it's detection.
Nearly all artificial silk is made
from some form of cellulose, either
cotton or wood pulp. This cellulose
is dissolved in some solvent, and the
solution forced through tubes of very
fine bore. The filament thus formed
may be more or less water soluble, or
highly infiammable, depending on the
solvent used. But subsequent treat
ment is supposed to entirely eliminate
these undesirable properties. In APP
pearance such silks are glossy and
attractive, although they are usually
of a coarser texture than the true
silks. But even under the best con-
ditions of manufacture which do away
with inflammability, and the property
of being softened by water, artificial
silks are inelastic and brittle, and
