Your
Dairy Herd
BY William W. Owens Of the Utah
Agricultural College

A heifer owned by the Utah Agri.
cultural College produced 1854
pounds of milk containing 1871
pounds of butterfat with her first
calf. She paid more than double
the market price for everything that
she consumed.
Do you men who keep cows know
that some OF them pay you FIVE dol
lars per ton for hay while others PAT
fifteen dollars per ton for the same
hay? / suspect you must not know
or you would stop selling to those
lars ton for hay while others pay
to find out-with scales and Babcock
tester. For you who think Your own
judgment sufficient allow me to quote
from Farmers Bulletin No. So: A
dairyman II wide reputation, presi-
dent OF state association for sew

daily milk record, rather because of

herd was OF his own breeding; he
had handled every COW from It's
birth. and he and his sons did the
milking. Before beginning the rec.
ord he made note Of the Joint opin-
ion OF himself and sons as to the half
dozen best cows in the herd and an
estimate Of their season milk yield.

POPULAR PREJUDlCES
ABOUT FOOD

A great deaf OF comment was caus
ed by a recent order permitting the
sale OF the flesh of horses for meat
In New York City, which apparently
will also be allowed in many other
places, Horse meat is used as food
all over Europe. In time It will prob
ablv be 90 used in this country.
This use OF unique flesh runs up
against certain popular repugnance
that is not quite easy to account for
There always are many prejudices
in the choice Of food not wholly has.
cd on reason. Certain kinds of fish
are always rejected by anglers, as
worthless for food, on account of
some local tradition against them
One generation after another Of boys
will throw these fish away, in accord
ance with custom. The trouble may
simply be that the flesh is not quite
as well favored as other kinds. But
us the years go by and fish become
scarce, even the less savority vari-
cites may be seen to have good value.
The feeling against horsefiesh can
hardly be based on any sanitary
grounds. A horse seems just as
clearly an animal as COW, per-
haps more SO. Probably the reason
is that horse is working animal.
He would naturally have tougher and
more stringy muscles than COW,
which spends its life in idleness in
pastures and barns.
Good cookery and skillful season
ing can do great deal to improve
the flavor of foods, also to render
palatable the tougher portions Of
flesh. When one considers the
amount of mastication needed to con.
sumo an ordinary beefsteak today,
It is q question IL horse flesh would
be any worse.
In the earlier days of the country
when all kinds of meat were abun-
dant and cheap the people could pick
and choose and reject many nutri-
tious forms of food. Times have
changed now. Before many years

list. These facts were verified by
subsequent records. Still more re.
marketable, this experienced owner
proved literally by the book that
about one fourth OF his cows were
being kept at an actual loss, while
others barely paid their way"
The author has no intention Of ad.

For practical purposes making test
Of two or three consecutive days ev-
cry three months is enough to deter.
mine the test OF a COW. The author
figured the average test of sixteen
Utah cows which had been officially
sampled and tested every month for
a year, then he selected the tests of
the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth
months and found that their average
differed only one tenth of one per
cent from the average of the twelve
months. No great injustice would
have been done any COW had she
been tested but four times during
the year. The weighing Of the milk,
however, must be done oftener, morn.

furnish sufficient evidence for or
against a cow.

SPELLING
CONT ESTS

Many people were perhaps surpris'
ed the other day to read that third
annual intercounty spelling match
had been held between school chill
dren in Madison and Onondago coun.
ties, New York. 1t would be interest
ing to know If this is merely uni
que instance, or IL there Is tenden'
CIV to revive the old time spelling
match. which has been regarded as
obsolete.
The old fashioned spelling contest
seemed to be part of an earlier so
cial life, where people were thrown
more on their own resources for d.
version. Also they were not averse
to some little mental exercise. There
were contests in repeating literary
and Biblical quotations and in the
writing of verses. All kinds of III
formation were worked into games
Nowadays the world is more full
OF amusements. Most people like to
sit in an opera chair and see other
people perform, while their minds
lie idle and inert.
The displays of spelling ability
that one would formerly see at any
cross roads spelling match would
seem almost unbelievable today. The
English language is so purely illogi'
cal in its forms, that 1t requires no
little mental effort to establish cor
rect photography. One can not TX
the correct form in ones mind by
any analogies, for the exceptions are
more numerous than the rules.
Probably good spelling ability de-
ponds somewhat on the same gifts
that create habits OF mental accur-
acy. The quiet mousey looking per-
son, who never attracts attention IN
the class room or social life, is apt
TO have the mind that works meth
odically and regularly In one groove
This kind Of mind probably makes
the best speller.
Good spelling Is valuable habit
and gives an impression Of an accu'
rate mind, and familiarity with the
world OF books and business. 1t
would be well n the old time spell

CHANGED TIMES IN THE
MINING INDUSTRY

The recently published report OF
the secretary of the Interior shows
what revolution has occurred In
the mining industry. Now the total
annual output of our mines Is two
and n half billions of dollars. In the
mining states OF the west, there was
an increase of $130,000,00O in the
product of the past over the previous
one. Mining has become an affair
of great corporations and vast pro-
motions, and the small mine and the
individual prospector are scarcely in
it.
Many millions OF dollars are annu-
ally lost in the mine business be-
cause investors do not realize how
thoroughly the day of smalp things
has gone by. In every state OF the
union there are indications of the
precious metals. From time imme-
mortal enthusiastic promoters have
been selling mining stock on these
seemingly fair hopes.
They get few good looking speci-
mems, have them assayed and pro-
duce an experts report showing the
value of this material. They put a
few glistening specimens in their
pockets. and talk learnedly OF smelt'
ers and veins. 1t is astonishing how
the mere sight OF sparkling piece
of ore will lure on hard headed bust
ness men who could not possibly be
fooled in their own line of business.
Mining crazes sweep over whole
communities and the inhabitants pay
fancy prices for land that VIII never
be valuable for anything but timber
or pasturage. The plant which Is nee
essary to get the material out profit
ably may cost as much as the entire
amount of ore that could be found.
AN over the country are little min
ing plants going to rust and decay
because capital enough could not be
secured to put the proposition on
working basis. 1t is also estimated
that for every dollar taken out by
mines. two dollars are put into
worthless or hopeless prospects or
into nonpaying propositions.

Some Electrical
Facts About Utah


Pile of Utah use electricity in some
form.
During 1915 new construction in
the electrical industry in Utah total.
ed $4,75O,00O.
Forty-eight hundred men, or per
cent of the States adult male popu-
lation are directly employed in this
line of work in Utah and are paid
more than $9,5OO,OOO per year.
During the current yeaf'the indus
try contributed to the various coun-
ties of the State of Utah an aggre.
gate of over $55O,OOO in taxes.
1t is doubtful II there is another
industry of like magnitude in the In
termountain west that is so inter.
woven with the everyday life Of the
people of this region as the electri-
cal industry-and which at the same
time is so little understood.
The electrical industries OF Utah
employ .4SO0 people or approximately
per cent Of the States adult male
population. The payrolls of the cleo
trical industries amount to more than
three and one half million dollars
year and during 1915 over $4,750,000
was spent in new construction work
in Utah by the various electrical in
terests.
The State, the counties and the
cities of Utah receive over $55c,000
per year in taxes from the electrical
interests within the borders of the
commonwealth.
No other one factor has figured
more prominently than electricity in
the development and utilization Of
the States rich resources the past
few years. Scores OF towns and rur-
al communities in Utah are enjoying
the comfort, convenience and safety
OF electric service, today, where for
merly 1t was unavailable. The man
ufacturers of the State have the cleo
trical interests Of Utah to thank for
cheaper and more dependable power
than has ever been known in Utah
before. Telephone lines and cleo
trio power and lighting lines and the
electric interurban roads are con-
stantly reaching out to serve more
and more of the inhabitants OF the
State.
The great strides made by electric.
ity in Utah are but reflection Of
the tremendous progress Of this In
dustry in every other section Of the.
United States.
Seventy per cent of the people of
the United States use electricity in
some Of its forms or ramifications CIV.

OF the people Of the country abso-
lutely depend upon it for their daily
bread.
