CATTLE AND GOOD CATTLE

We all know why farms without cattle
fail Why some farms with cattle fail is
shown by the Florida experiment station,
when it announces that the milk produced
by one COW costs 13.7 cents gallon, while
tnat produced by another costs 20 cents.
One COW yielded milk 366 days and one
only 1876.
Counting labor, interest on investment,
and deterioration of plant, milk that costs
more than Is cents a gallon to produce, is
money-losing ssuning
that it brings 20 cents. In other words,
the herd average should be at least two
gallons day, year in and year out That
would mean a profit of S72 year. plus the
value Of fertilizer and Young calves II
cnly the butter fat is sold, the milk will
bring less than 20 cents. but the skim will
ne available for hog feed and the returns
will be made in pork,
Weighing each cows milk morning and
night-or once a week. if that is too much
troube-will show which is the boarder
and which is the money maker. Record
blanks can be secured at a nominal cost, or
an ordinary blank book may be used ANY
hodv can devise his own systematic pur-
pose is simply to show how mitch milk each
COW yielded in year subtracting the feed,
labor and overhead bills will prove whether
the herd is making money or whether the
farmer would save money by giving them
away.
If one is in the butter fat business, he
should have Babcock tester. Costing only
| & few dollars, it can be operated by child
it will show exactly how much butter each
COW is Welding, and whether she should be
eliminated; it will also enable one to work
out the best feed formula. Unless a cow
produces three hundred pounds of butter a
year, she is not worth having.

CHRISTMAS FOR OUR BOYS.

Issuing an appeal for funds to purchase
. million comfort bags-and, then mil
lion more" the Red Cross, of New York,
has already begun to work for a Merry
Christmas for Our boys on duty.
It is an example we might follow,
Christmas will soon be here-how quickly
the last few months pass! What to send
Il soldier boy or sailor? What combines
the greatest 1ightness. the greatest useful
ness, and will excite the greatest thoughts
Il home? And it must be dispatched in
ample time.
The Thanksgiving problem is simpler
but even this presents difficulties that will
require considerable planning to surmount.
There was never such Christmas in this
country-at least in this generation-lct us
begin to enjoy it now. Let us begin now
to make the happiest Christmas possible
for our bovs-and that will give us the
happiest Christmas possible.

Some people work as hard as a
newspaper man, but it takes some
to do it. Take our own case for
instance; 81 inches of editorial day,
or total Of 1910 inches year-a
column of type I-7e blocks long. Add
a seven-inch daily average of scratch
pad-tetal, 2,555 inches, or 213 feet.
This represents 1880 pages of manu-
script and the type would weigh
34.245 pounds. And the actual writ
ing is not half the work. That is
why the newspaper man smiles when
other people talk about hard work.

TAX THE MOST PROSPEROUS

For two years after the war in Europe
began, various American manufacturers of
products needed by the allies enjoyed un-
heard of prosperity.
Taking advantage of the necessities Of
nations fighting for life against the most
monstrous military machine in history these
corporations charged all the traffic would
bear-and then some.
The result was an orgy of Wall street
SPECULATION. The air was filled with stories
of the marvellous earnings of various war
babies and war Brides
The men back OF these concerns that
have earned blood money, want to part

AS OTHERS SEE us

We have every confidence IN Gus soldier
boys. The pick of the nation, they have
had the best of training. their officers have
endeavored to keep up with every war de-
velopment, and have originated new
methods. Many have been under fire
already. But what of their impression
abroad? What is the verdict of the people
who have seen the greatest armies Of all
time, who knows the demands of modern
battle?
Describing the arrival of the first Ameri-
can contingent in France, a correspondent
1or the London Times answers these
Questions. "Those who have seen the
long-limbed keen-faced men of the West
Looping through the streets of this town
to the camp can have no doubt that
America is in earnest"
The writer was one of those who saw
the first detachment of the British expedi-
tionary force land in Boulogne in August,
l914-they belonged to a crack regiment,
too-and making the inevitable but not
odlous comparison, he says: Il have seen
the poilu and Tommy at work, and it needs
no Sandhurst training to see at once that
the American lads who have landed are it. =
As they would express it He continues
They are more lean. more 1.-the. and more yellow
than our modern Tommy The is more
quent and it swings freely from the hip their
hats are more rakish than those Of the New
Zealanders, and uniformly sharper-cut
than those of armies Then pack is ver:
work!nanlike and nestes down a between
the shoulder bades-altogether they make thoroughly
Finally, says the correspondent, they
have come with a justified reverence for
France, and their highest ambition is to be
worthy companions of the French at Ver-
dun and the British at the Somme. No
danger that such will not make good

am sure if had anything wrong with
me it would have been discovered.
B+s1 this was just a starter; what
they were really after was my eyes
and my ears, and with my ears I in
clude my balancing apparatus, which
l have since learned are the little
semi-circular canals that are a part
Of the ear structure.
They stuck me up on a high chair
and squIrted first hot and then cold
water into my ear. l found out later
that in this test they watched my
eyes to see whether they acted nor
mally, turning toward the ear that
was being irrigated when warm water
was used and away from it when
the water was cold.
Then they put me on a thing like
a piano stool and whirled me around
until I was dizzy, and watched t.
see which way would fall when
the stool stopped turning. If I fell
away from the direction of rotation,
I was all right.
Next they took my shoes and made
me walk back and forth blindfolded,
to see whether my balance and sense
of direction was good
It was certainly a weird preform-
ance, but nothing like the rough
stuff that I expected them to try on
me.
I couldn't understand what all
these bhndfold tests were for, but
since l have been up in the clouds
where you can't see anything, I can
understand that all these tests really
were a miniature reproduction Of just
what an aviator has to gothrough
whenever he gets into a cloud or has
to fly in the dark.

Just 900 attended the Opening
night" entertainment held at the
local Y. M. c. A. last night for men,
bers of the boys division and their
friends, the affair proving the largest
and most successful ever held for
members of the boys division.
The boys arrived at the associa
ton building long before the affair
was scheduled to start, so anxious
were they to enjoy the treat which
had been promised them. Shortly
after Z o'clock the boys were allowed
in the gymnasium where an exhibi-
ton of skill in gymnastic was given
by a chosen lot of boys. Following
this the boys and the friends were
invited to participate in games. a tug
of war, Indian club and straddle ball
race being held.
Following an exhibition by some
of the boys in the swimming pool all
were invited to go in for a dip. Only
those boys who could not swim stay
ed out of the pool, some of these fell
lows, however, getting in the shallow
end and splashing about.
Following the swim the boys were
taken, 100 at a time, to the banquet
hall, where refreshments were served
them by members Of the Ladies' AUX
iliary. Following the "eats" the boys
were given a talk on Y. NJ. c. A. life
by Secretary Sutermeister, of the
boys division, after which the boys
were dismissed, the affair coming to
a close at $50 o'clock

ping power. If, indeed. it does not put
him into first place.
Britain had, at the beginning of
the war, approximately 100000
tons OF shipping, including liners and
tramps. Her losses to date have
been close to 100000 tons, of
which, it Is estimated, some 1000. 900
tons have been replaced by new con-
struction.
With this new step In shipping
control, Uncle Sam becomes abso-
lutte dictator of all American ship
ping. For the remainder of the war
every American vessel will operate
under his orders, will be insured by
his own war risk bureau, and all new
construction will be on his order.
Private owners, continuing to operate
their vessels. will do so solely under

FORDS FIREMEN TO HAVE
BIG BANQUET TONIGHT

FORDS. Oct. 13:-As the result of
both the Home Defense and the fire
department members wishing to use
the Fords firehouse tonight, the pa
triotic parade here will be without
the presence Of f1remen and the
home defenders will not be able to
use the firehouse.
In order to do away with any mis-
understanding the fire company
wishes to explain matters, showing
how 1t would be impossible to give
the Home Defense the use of the
firehouse tonight. 1t seems that at
the last two meetings of the fire de-
partment it was voted to hold a clam
steam in the firehouse October 13, to-
night. in honor Of the newly elected
officers. The food necessary for the
feed, about 500 worth, was ordered
and final preparations made. Last
night a communication was received
from the Home Defense inviting the
firemen to participate in the parade
tonight. The flremen generally turn
their firehouse over to the marchers
for their comfort. AS 1t was too late
to cancel the order for the eatables
the invitation was not accepted.
The following letter written by Mr..
Nielsen; secretary of the Fords Fire
Department, to Charles Wagner,
head of the Fords Home Defense
League, explains matters:
