Old Idea of Gulf Stream,
Once Taught in Schools,
Changed by Later Study

1t is only by speaking loosely that
the shippers of several incoming ships
can say, as reported, that the presence
of many sharks along the coast was
due to a shifting of the Gulf stream.
What they mean was that the northeast
drift of warm water is greater than
usual, broader, perhaps, or closer IN
shore, or possibly a degree or two hlgh-
or in temperature than is customary al
this time in this latitude, says the New
York Sun.
The Gulf stream as a distinct cur
rent cannot be identified north of the
thirty-second parallel of latitude, when

cow TESTING PROVES
POPULAR WITH FARMERS
This Is Explained BY the Fact That
Profits lncrease-What Co"-Test-
ing Associations Do.

(By C. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)
Where there are enough cows to
Justify the action on the parton farm
ers. cow-testing associations are de-
sirable. Several communities are al
ready organized and have testers EN-
ployed
conditions for a cow-testing associa.
ton are ideal when there are 400 cows
in about 20 herds. Several Tennes-
see counties are coming up to this
standard.
A cow-testing association will dc
much for any dairy community.
1t furnishes an exact record OF pro
duction of each cow in the herd, with
a record of the cost of feed consumed
and the net profit per COW. About one
third of the cows in Tennessee are
kept at a loss. It enables one to weed
out the Improbable cows.
The records of production enable
one to feed more intelligently anc
more economically. 1t is a common
! practice to feed all the COWS in The
herd alike. Under these conditions
the Door cows will receive too much
and the good ones will not get enough
The proper way is to feed each COW IL
proportion to the amount OF milk sh'
gives. When this practice is adopte'
1t usually results in greater production
of milk at less cost for feed.
The tester is able to advise with tn
owner each month in regard to tn
most economical feed to use, and ais
to balance the rations for the owner
The members can cooperate in buy
ing cottonseed meal and other feet
stuffs in carload lots, thus etfecting
saving.
Cow-testing associations stimulat
community breeding, exchange

and foster a better social spirit in tn
community.
