can be made with the man in charge
to make the butter-fat test.
Figuring Results.-At the end OF
each month total the milk given by
each COW. Average the percentage OF
butter-fat contained and multiply the
result by the total number Of pounds
of milk produced. Then transfer the
result to the summary sheet provided
with the other supplies. The price
at the creamery or cream station
should be used to figure the results.
The price for butter-fat multiplied by
the total number CT pounds produced
during the month will give the value
of butter-fat called for on the sum-
mary sheet.
Feed Record-The' kind of feeds
used and the approximate amount Of
each fed should be kept and recorded
on the summary sheet. Roughage in
cludes the bulky feeds such as hays.
corn fodder, silage and straws. The
grains include all of the more con-
densed feeds such as ground corn and
cob-meal. etc. A table giving the uni
form prices Of the more common
feeds and also pasture per animal will
be provided to each contestant. The
profit or loss is Of course the differ
ence between the amount received for
the milk, or butter-fat and the cost of
feed. The skim milk and calf should
not be included in the profit or loss
because these will be considered to
Offset the cost of labor. Returns for
one dollar expended are determined
by dividing the value of the butter-fat
by the total cost of feed. The other
information called for on the monthly
summary sheet can easily be under
stood without explanation. The
monthly summary sheets should be
compiled and promptly forwarded at
the close of each month.
The Essay-A description OF the
manner in which the work is carried
on and the benefit derived must be
written by each contestant. This
should not exceed 500 words in length
and should be forwarded with the
third monthly report.
Basis for Awards.
The awarding of prizes will be bas-
ed on the efforts and reports of the
contestants and not upon the produc-
ton of the cows Any changes in i'm"
proving the rations or making the
production of milk more economical
will be taken into consideration but

Dairying should be one of the most
important departments of every farm
in Iowa. The good dairy COW will
with proper care and attention, not
only return a handsome profit, but
also assures a more steady income
than any other kind of live stock
farming. She converts the grains and
grasses into condensed, easily market
ed products, and at the same time
builds up the fertility of the land.
There are approximately 100000

new war Plane
Of GERMANS IS
ALLIES DREAD

Possessing the advantage Of firing
from her machine guns directly
through her propellers, the new Ger
man war plane known as the FOX.
kerr" from the>nan who invented it.
Is claimed by even British newspapers
70 be one OF the most deadly vessels
OF the air yet invented.
The advantage OF this firing space
through the propeller comes from the
fact that the new plane is able to dive
directly down upon an enemy. who is
always in range from the dread ma
chimes guns.
The London Mail deyotes consider
able space TO the machine in a re-
cent issue. illustrating it with draw
ings. British experts say that the
plane is capable Of q speed Of 100
miles an hour and has the ability to
rise quickly after making drop.
Bullets which happen 70 hit the pro-
peller blades are turned aside by spe-
cial deviators, but il is estimated that
not more than five or six bullets from
q machine gun ever touch the blades
out of 100 shots
