The immense value of the dairy bust

at is of particular interest to Hol-
stein breeders, for the Holstein is
y Ss1 popular in California, to look at
these figures for 1916:
Bntter. 70,030,174 pounds. $19, ISL .264
cheese, 7,745,124 pounds. 1,203,592
Condensed, evaporated and

ice cream ........... 14,oOU,OUU
Calves produced on diaries 100000
Skim milk and buttermilk. 1,750,000
Total .... $40, 627, 039
Accepting the above figures and
estimates of the state dairy bureau
as at least conservative, the dairy
cows of California produce twice the
onnual revenue that comes from her
odd mines, and exceeds the value of
her citrus fruit industry by ten mil
lion dollars"
Tt is estimated that the revenue

does seem like we ought to try to

| may be called a Holstein crank,
and am proud of it. The Holstein-
Friesian cattle are the Oldest breed
of dairy cattle known, having origi-
mated in a province of Holland called
Friesland; hence the name. They have
made that place quite famous as a
butter and cheese country.
Those people think more of their
cattle, and give them more care and
attention than some people in this
country give their families; and ! be-
lieve right there is the secret Of their
having such fine, large, heavy pro-
ducing cows. Right here ] want to
emphasize the point that you must
take good care Of your cattle and keeI
them free of ticks, especially in rails
ing the calves. You do not feed sc
awful heavy, but feed them enough
and regularly to keep them growing
every minute.
A stunted calf, no matter how much
breeding you have back of it, never
makes the COW it should be. Do mo-
neglect your pure bred bull. Some
people think that because they d,
not get any direct profit from hin
through the milk pail that he doe
not need any attention; but Away
remember he is half, or over half, o
the herd. Feed him well, so he ma,
grow out to be a good Representative
Of the breed, for he is the boy VIII
will impart his vigor and constitution
to his offspring.
The Holstein cattle are the heavies
producers, both in milk and butter
Of any dairy breed. They hold tn

A. A high school building, to cost
at least 100000. 90; a concrete fire
proof building, equipped with ap-
paratus for teaching domestic science,
mechanics, and applied electricity; a
building that will meet the demands
of the district for at least fifteen

@. Can a high school building he
built with the money raised by the
special district tax?
A. 1t cannot; unless some COM
tractor would construct the building
on the deferred payment plan-pay

be impracticable.
Q. Why?
A. Because it would take a good
many years to pay for it, and the
interest would be large item, too
large out of the money raised by that
means-then, too, it would take too
much each year from the other
schools in the district.
Q. Then how will the special

any language TO express or create
an emotion" The lecture was the

heard the testimony of noted auth
critics on art as to whether George

Sir Luke Fields, r. A, testified
for the plaintiff that he believed
