COW TESTING ASSOCIATIONS.

NOM les Inv ANoONlA lbtNo'
Worl that the county agent is doing
under the head Of the 'Dairy Project
is progressing very rapidly AT the
present time the winter months are
largely given over to dairy work while
the summer months are given over to
field work.
The greatest good that seemingly can
result from the dairy project is to get
the farmers to keep records Of their in
diyidual COWS and use pure bred sres at
the head of their herds, Last year three
COW testing associations were running
in the county; one around Middlebury
another south of Nergennes, along the
lake shore, and a third in Starksboro
and Lincoln. A little different plan was
devised for placing the Cow Testing as
sociations for the future. twas planned
to so place the associations that they
would touch all sections of the county
In view of this fact one has been or
gained in Orwell, and is ready to start
work as soon as a capable man is found
to take charge. The Starksboro-
Lincoln association has been divided
and during the past week the assoca-
ton was filled out with members in
Monkton, Hinesburg and Huntington;
thus leaving out the Lincoln members.
At the time when the first Addison
County Cow Testing association starts
its new year an effort will be made to
restrict the area covered by that asso-
citation to the territory Immediately sur
rounding Middlebury, thus leaving New
Haven, Bristol and Lincoln for a new
association. Already dairymen in Shore
ham have organized temporary asso-
citation of about $50 cows pledged and
are signing up the remaining necessary
cows and will probably be ready to start
work about April LIST. Thus it would
seem that providing capable men can
be found to take charge of the work we
will have six associations running IN
Addison county next winter. This is a
decided step forward in view of the fact
that year ago this time only one was
running in the county
1t requires great deal of work to
organize these associations and keep
them running smoothly, and during the
past month the county agent working
with T. H. Moran, assistant to the
Commissioner of Agriculture, in charge
of Cow Testing ASSOCIATION work, has de-
voted much time to this particular pro-
ject. While it does not seem so to sew
eral farmers this is probably the biggest
piece of work that county agent can
do along dairy lines. 1t is indeed a
privilege for farmer to be able to get
complete record of the production and
the cost of feed for each of his dairy
cows for one year for 81. We cannot
afford not to know what our cows are
doing, we cannot find out ourselves at
as small cost as 81 per COW.

the blazing plane plunged towards
earth. The flames reached him again,
He swung himself off the frame and
hung by his hands under the machine

"Ah,' said Yard, "but, as a

get a chance. And, to govern

But Yard, with that quick
change of mood characteristic of
his temperament, had already de-
clded that it was not worth while

they would come to nothing--his

Kasia looked at him with a little

Wherefore it presently came to

gloomily down from the after

beheld the lady of his dreams
strolling beside a well set up
young fellow, whose face seemed
vaguely familiar, and in whose
conversation she was evidently
deeply interested-so interested
that she finally climbed with him
to a seat on the upper deck; and
when they sat down, Dan saw that
the young fellow sat very close

This plan for the determination of
the Yaquis is return TO the policies
of the Dias regime. Then they were
sent to Yucatan as farm laborers, men,
women and children on the plantations
that belonged to the coteries that had
grown rich under the patronage of the
aged ruler.
Originally the Yaquis were an agri-
cultural people whose homes were along
the fertile river that bears their name
and in the mineral filed hills back of
the river. They never acknowledged the
rule of Mexico but claimed indepen.
dence under an old treaty. .
1t was the fertility of their lands
that caused the downfall of the Yaqui

cans who took their farms from the
Indians and held them or sold them to
American capital. Naturally peaceful
the Indian then became warlike and a
perpetual war lasted until the revolu-
ton. Then both factions constantly
employed the services of the Yaquis on
promises of restoration of lands which
it was impossible to keep. 1t was the
continued withholding of these fertile
lands, now under irrigation projects,
that revived the warfare when Carran-
"a Is power became more stabilized.
