and gain in live weight.
At the close of the six months
test the exposition announced the fol-
lowing awards: The prize for net
profit in butter fat is won by the
Guernseys by a net profit of $4.66
The prize for net profit in churned
butter is won by the Guernseys by a
net profit of $3.50.
The Guernseys not only made but
ter at the least cost per pound but re-
turned the greatest profit for every
dollar invested in feed.
During the entire time of the test
there was exhibited in a glass case a
sample of the butter made from the
milk of each herd. This was made
fresh once a week and submitted to
an expert who scored same. The
average score shows that the Guern-
sey butter ranked highest in flavor
and color, thus being the best quality
butter. We give these scorings in
detail, believing they will be of in
terest. The score used in judging
the butter was as follows: Flavor, 45;
grain, %; color, 10; salt, 10; finish
8; total, 100.
From these averages it will be seen
that the qualities that have been
claimed for the products were notice
able here. The desirable flavor, which
has been so highly priced wherever
Guernsey milk and cream has been
sold, we find in the butter 1t is not
expected that the ability of the Guern-
sey to color her milk and butter is SC
pronounced in the summer season
with green food at command but
when compared with that of the other
breeds, it was readily seen in the
samples of butter exhibited and in
the scoring. The contrast would un-
doubtedly have been much greater in
the winter season on dry feed.
Home Butter Tests
Home butter tests were first taken
shortly prior to 1891. These were
supervised by having samples of milk
sent experiments stations every
month and the station representa-
tives visiting the cows and herds
three or four times during the year
taking checking samples.

ACCORDING TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SERIES
Text of the Lesson, Dan. i, $40
Memory Verses, -, 20-G0lden
Text Dan. /, documentary Pre-
pared by Rev. ID. M. Stearns.

In Daniel and his three friends we
see four Jews, men Of God. In difh-
cult place, clarifying the God Of Israel
In Daniel himself we see one Of the
greatest men Of God that ever lived,
with whom the Spirit associates Noah
and Job and whom our Lord Jesus
poke Of as Daniel the prophet (Esek.
xiv, IA, 20; Matt. xiv, 15). Captives
like these are represented by Jeremiah's
basket Of good figs as sent to Babylon
for their good, and the good Of others,
and the glory Of God (Jer. XIV. 1-7),
as Joseph was sold into slavery In
Egypt for his good and that God might
be glorihed in him. Believers are not
ON earth now for their own comfort, but
that I'm us the life Of Jesus may be
made manifest and Christ magnifed In
our bodies, whether by life or death
(II Cor. Nv, 10, IL; Phil. 1, 20). The
Lord gave Jehoiakim and some Of His
people and the holy vessels into the
hand of the king of Babylon or else
they would not have been there (Dan.

and tender love from the prince Of the
eunuchs; also He gave to these four
knowledge and skill in all learning and
wisdom and gave Daniel understanding

Thus In all the Bible story we see God
holding strongly with those whose
hearts are whole toward Him, a God
who worketh for those who wait for
and upon Him Oh Chron. xvi, o; lisa.
Xiv, 4, r. "; Ps. lxii o.. 1t will be
so in our daily lives If we are as true
to Him as were Daniel and his friends,
and we may prove and make manifest
that it is God who worketh In US to will
and to do of His good pleasure the
things that are pleasing in His sight
(PhiL ii, 13; Heb. xiii, 21).
Our lesson story is briefly that the
king of Babylon gave orders to the
master of his eunuchs to select from
the royal Jewish captives some young
men, physically well favored and Of
good education, that they might be
taught the learning of the Chaldeans
and be with him in his palace. They
were TO be well nourished from the
kings table with such food and drink
as he himself used and at the end Of
three years brought before the king
verses $50. Not many young men,
even In our day, would have taken
stand against such good eats. as the
boys call them, but Daniel knew that
this was food which had been first Of
fered to idols, as was the custom Of
the heather, and he could not with a
clear conscience partake OF 1t ACTS XIV.
29), so he asked and obtained favor Of
the prince Of the eunuchs in this mat
ter, for God was with him verses $40.

farms to southern territory also are
considerable desirable, the specialists
believe. They also feel that SINH
lar diversion Of surplus hogs from
the corn belt to the irrigated farms in
the West and Southwest should be en-
couraged.
Another feature of the hog produc-
ton program is to encourage the use
of citv garbage in hog feeding. A
study of this subject made by special
lists of the Bureau of Animal Industry
during the last year indicates that an
enormous amount of pork can be pro-
duced in this waste product more pro-
fitably than by other means of gar
bage disposal and without the slight
est danger to public health.
The application of the. program
calls for the cooperation OF all State
and local agencies. The boys and
girls and poultry clubs, which will be
encouraged and increased, are to have
a prominent part in the work.

use of forests for recreation and
health, are further indications of
broadening development.
Thus year by year the national for
est enterprise gains stability. In the
long run the only means by which it
can become stable is successful ad-
ministration. Laws alone can not
make it so. For a time the forests
were a great experiment. Whether
the public benefits which their estab-
lishment had in view could be realiz-
ed without accompanying intolerable
drawbacks could be ascertained only
through demonstration. An essenti-
ally constructive task was involved.
The responsibility upon this depart
ment since it was placed in charge of
the forests has not been merely the
routine discharge of definitely pres
cribed duties. 1t has been necessary
to devise and apply methods for at
tanning broad general purposes en-
bodied in laws by congress. A vast
land area was to be managed with a
view to the most general, varied, and
harmonious use. If these resources
had not been made available to the
public, a resistless demand for the
abandonment of the project would
have arisen. Through successful ad-
ministration the permanence of the
national forests is becoming more and
more assured. They are now vital
part of the economic life of the re-
gions which use their resources. 1t
is increasingly clear that national
supervision and control of them is
necessary and that they could not be
abandoned without disastrous conse-
quences to western industries and to
local welfare.
In reports of the last two years
the need for more ample provisions
for road development in the national
forests was emphasized. Many of
the forests are located in the more
remote portions Of the western noun
tains. Roads are necessary for their
protection, administration, and de-
velopment. They are essential also
for the upbuilding of the local COM
munities. They are needed to open
up agricultural regions which are
practically shut off from the market,
to make possible the development of
mines and to stimulate prospecting,
to shorten the distances of travel be-
tween localities and through the
states, to make accessible wood and
timber required for local use and for
the lumber industry, and to enable
the public to visit and enjoy the for
ests for recreation and health. At
the last session of congress this ur-
gent need received recognition
through the enactment of the federal
aid road act. An appropriation of
$10,000,000, to become available at
the rate of $1,000, 900 each year, was
made. This legislation constitutes
one of the most important and far
reaching steps in national forest de-
velopment which has been taken for
long time.

AS step to stimulate an increas-
ed hog production the department con-
templates adding four State pig-club
agents to its present staff of IA and
the placing of one swine-husbandry
expert in every state which does not
now have a pig-club agent. These
specialists will devote their attention
to general problems of hog production
and the organization of pig clubs.
Several specific problems will claim
the attention of the state representa-
aives. One will be the possibility of
stimulating the movement Of north
ern pigs to the South beginning with
the fall filters of 1917, after they are
weaned. BY such a redistribution
these pigs could be raised on winter
pasture crops in the South, thereby
saving much corn in the North for
other purposes. Market shipments

The Story of Guernsey Cow
CONTINUED From Last Week.
The Columbian Dairy Breed Test

The resllts of these tests bear sew
eral interpretations. All that has
been written comes from partisan
sources. There is little doubt that
the Jerseys as a breed rank first ac-
cording to the rules for the conduct of
the test. The Guenseys follow. If
the rules are thrown aside, and the
data discussed under the conditions
the dairymen of this country are
placed and come in everyday contact
with, the results are changed. In the
cheese work the Guernseys would
have the two leading cows. In the
butter test, they are represented by
two and three of the five best cows of
any breed.
The Chicago test dismissed into
oblivion the enormous private tests
made so public in the past. The
Guernsey met her cousins in such a
manner that the work showed the
dairyman that the dairy COW is an
individual, and that the Guernseys
and Jerseys both contain such ami
mails, and rightly claim superiority as
dairy breeds for butter production.

What the Guernsey cows won:
The prize for net profit In butter fat

The highest average score on butter.

The only test of dairy cattle in
which all breeds participated that has
ever been held was that of the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, New
York, in 1901. In this the Guernsey
was represented by five cows as were
all the other breeds. The test was
wholly under the supervision of the
department of agriculture of the ex-
position and its purpose was to see
which breed would make the great
est net profit upon each Of the four
following points: a. Production of
butter fat. b. Production of churned

The Producers Part.-To overcome
the scarcity and consequent high
price of fresh eggs in fall and winter
by earlier Matching of chicks through
out the country, beginning about De-
cember / in the Gulf States.
To remove the chief cause of all
egg-spoilage troubles-fertile eggs

To save grain in the North, and in

TO assist in bringing about these
developments is the principal aim of
national program undertaken by the
United States Department of Agricul-
tura's Animal Husbandry Division to
encourage a quickening of the egg,
poultry, and pork industries of the
country. They represent some of the
extra efforts that will supplement the
regular activities of that office in its
work to have these industries brought
While the program outlined is calcul-
ated to bring about immediate in
creases in production, the measures
advocated represent permanent agri-
cultural practices, not emergency
ones.
For Increased Egg Production
By spreading the doctrine of early
Matching of chicks throughout the
country, it is hoped to overcome the
scarcity of fresh eggs in fall and win
ter. When hens molt in early sum-
mer and late fall, their egg produc-
ton stops, and prices go up. If pull
lets were Matched earlier in the sea-
son, they could be ready to go on duty
while the older hens are laying off,
the poultry specialists say, and thus
furnish a continuous supply of eggs.
The gap in the egg-production period
must be closed, it is said, before the
prices of fall and winter eggs can be
reduced. Matching should begin in
the Gulf States about December /,
or earlier. AS pullets begin to lay
when they are six to seven and half
months old, farmers can determine
the date necessary to hatch, in order
to make the period of egg production
continuous.
To eliminate the enormous annual
losses from egg spoilage, farmers
produce infertile eggs, the specialists
declare. The production of infertile
eggs necessitates the removal from
the pens, Immediately after the
Matching season, of all mature male
fowls. Fertile eggs will spoil as
quickly as milk in hot weather. They
are responsible for all the "h1ood
rings" and for a large part of the
spoilage of eggs in storage.
The department specialists also will
also urge poultry keepers in villages,
towns, and suburban districts to start
their pens with pullets instead of old
hens; that, because the first laying
season is the most productive, no hens
be killed until they have laid for one
year; that all male fowls not needed
for breeding be sold as broilers, at
which stage they are not only worth
more but have required less grain for
feed.
