The lecture course scored another
high number on this seasons pro-
gram with the Ionian Serenaders
Monday night. Music lovers were
thrilled and charmed with the fine
selections rendered with touch of
skill and technique that showed
these young ladies to be artists in
their profession. Their accordion
playing was heartily encored and the
music they were able to get out of
these instruments demonstrated
that it was necessary to have the art
of music as we'll as muscle" and in
neither of which they were lacking.
No audience could be disappointed
in the fine program the Ionian Sere-
naders rendered.

BIG CROPS NOT ACCIDENTAL

Of all the different
things necessary to grow
big crops there is none
so important as good
seeds.
No really big crop can
come from any but su-
perior quality-grade CAP
seeds.
WHITE MOUNTAIN SEEDS
are grade GA" seeds, first,
last and always. They
are never anything else.
OF course, the first cost Of all
superior seeds is more-but from
only one viewpoint. There are
other ways Of looking at the subject. =
Many practical farmers go so far
as to state that when seeding cost
per acre is accurately figured
WHITE MOUNTAIN SEEDS
are the least expensive.

Segis Fayne Johanna ll4656

IHe puSeDIeu IlolSIelil-r llSoldll
cow Segis Fayne Johanna 114658,
realized the long-cherished hopes of
enthusiasts and electrified the dairy
world when, under an official seven
day test ending January 8, she es-
tablished new worlds record for
butterfat production, producing in
seven consecutive days 1908 pounds
of milk containing 50.68 pounds of
butter. This remarkable animal has
scored brilliant triumph for the
ck-and-White breed.
The pessimist had for years scoffed
at the optimist's prophecy that some
day a cow would surmount the So
pound barrier, but with Segis Fayne
Johanna's accomplishment what
seemed the almost incredible" has
happened.
Segis Fayne Johanna is the prop
erty of Oliver Cabana, Jr. proprietor
of Pine Grove Farms, Elma Center,
N. Y, and was bred by A. A .Cortel-
you, of Somerville, N. j., having
been purchased by the present owner
at breeders sale on Jaf uary 5,
1918. She is eight years old, weighs
now about 1450 pounds, and in color
is four-ffths white. Her sire is
King Fayne Segis 46767 and her dam
is Wilma Johanna 64385.
The new seven-day butter cham
pion, the sixteenth Holstein-Friesian
cow to obtain place in the 40-pound
class, is the fifth worlds champion
to be developed at Pine GroveFarms,
so brief resume of the methods of
feeding and care in operation at
this noted establishment, particular
ly those employed in the test ofSegis
Fayna Johanna, is of extraordinary
interest.
The test was made IN a roomy,
clean, white enameled stall, under
the supervision of representatives of
the New York State Agricultural
College, at Ithaca, N. Y. She was
MIXED every six hours. From the
time she went dry to ten days before
freshening the new champion re-
ceived the customary rations used at
Pine Grove Farms, consisting OF sc
pounds grain, 40 pounds beets and
30 pounds of beet pulp soaked in
molasses, She was then fed test
ration of l6 pounds, increasing grad
ually to Is pounds, consisting of the
following mixture:
200 pounds dried distillers' grain
100 pounds bran,
100 pounds ground oats,
125 pounds gluten,
100 pounds cotton seed meal,
80 pounds oil meal,
Is pounds table salt,
10 pounds charcoal.
On the third day after freshenine
she was given 16 pounds of grain
until the sixth day when two pounds
were added. which was systematical
| ly increased to 81 pounds. Two
pounds of cotton seed meal was alst
provided and, with the following

AN IDEA OF THE ICE THE p. F
E, USES IN CALIFORNIA

During the season ending Octo-
Der 81, 1916, the Pacific Fruit Elk
press Company used for icing re-
frigerator cars in the state of Cali
fornia 385,279 tons of ice. OF this
amount 193,358 were manufactured
in Cotton, Los Angeles and Rose
vile.
To give an idea of the quantity,
the 385,279 tons of ice used in Cali
fornia if melted would equal 3d.
1885, 800 gallons of water. The same
amount of tons, namely 385,279,
loaded in box cars averaging 20
tons, each would require 1924 cars
to transport them. Coupled into one
solid train, they would cover a dis
lance Of 1905 miles, extending
from San Francisco to 2.5 miles be-
yond Towle station on the Ogden
Route of the Southern Pacific or 10
miles beyond MERGED.

SCENE or NATURAL BEAUTY
Setting Of Montrorency Falls Near
Quebec Resembles the imaginative
Conception of an Artist

The imDresSiveness of any bit Of
scenery depends not on how larg,.
it looks. THUS there are few persons
who would estimate the width Of the
Grand canyon at more than tenth
of what it actually is Niagara falls,
when seen at distance, is not i'm.
pressive, and when you are close to
it you cannot get complete view.
1t is for this reason that many Of
the smaller bits Of scenery really give
more pleasure to persons who have an
eye for natural beauty. Montmorency
falls, on the river Of that name few
miles from Quebec, is an excellent ex-
ample of this fact. It consists of q
stream about 40 feet wide dropping
somewhat more than 200 feet over q
sheer cliff just above the juncture a
the Montmorency and the st. Law
renee. This cliff forms part Of high
amphitheater Of rock, its jagged out
lines crowned by a forest Of juniper
and spruce, and opening upon the wide
blue expanse Of the st. Lawrence.
Above the falls the stream is known
as the Fairy river because of the weird
beauty of Its dark waters, which wind
between sheer granite walls festooned
with very old, gnarled trees. 1t seems
more like some artists imaginative
conception than a work OF nature.

"Take the Step."

A story is told of q rivival held In q
town not thousand miles from the
national capital. A man Of mark in
the place for many years and for ever
so long ,vestryman in one of the old
est of the churches. was interested in
the work of the evangelist and attend
ed the services, He was impressed
by the earnestnesS Of the preacher and
his good faith. One night when the
mourners were called this g0dly men,
for years the pattern Of high senti-
ment and correct conduct in his
church, was shocked into almost viO-
lent speech, when he was approached
by u converted bartender and urged:
"Colonel-take the step!" The very
idea was revolving to his sense OF
propriety, as for quarter of a CEN
fury he had been living in the beauty
Of holiness, and he could hardly have
been blamed for feeling just a bit
embarrassed by the plea of the con-
verted barkeeper.

SCOTCH CITY HAS SIDE LINE
Glasgow Reports Gratifying Success
of Its Municipal Agriculture
Lesson for America.

The Individual efforts of many q
city man to convert himself into far
mer may perhaps remain a subject of
occasional jest, but Glasgow, in Scot
land, has shown the world that a city,
as city, may take up farming enter
prise and come off with the smile quite
neatly turned t'other way about. BY
the reports just returned to Glasgow's
lord provost, the municipality has ac-
crued a round $4,000 Of profit from the
products of it's farming.
1t all began in 1879. At that time it
was found that the city refuse destruc-
tor was becoming less and less ade-
quate to deal with the ever-increasing
volume of the city's refuse-the ashes
from its furnaces and pots from Its
households, the paper from the streets
and all this manner Of collectible ma
terial.
SO a tract of bogland was taken on
lease and turned over to the uses
of the cleansing department. The ex-
pertinent of filling in these lands
proved so successful that more terri
tory was taken in 1891 and later at a
combined cost Of about 100000. The
soil was ''cold and uncongenial," says
the Glasgow Herald, but its handicaps
have been gradually neutraiized by the
work of the department and by the en-
richment Of the land.
According to the report of Glasgow's
farming, 'the produce grown includes
oats, wheat, barley, potatoes, turnips,
hay and grass, and tho total amount
reaped during last season is valued at
f1O,3O6, thus sum being exclusive Of
produce sold, which realized f2,72S.
The present hay crop is so abundant
that after the needs of the depart
ment's stud Of horses are met, it is
SO abundant that there will be sur
plus Tor sale of about 500 TONS"
Surely such record as this should
counsel American cities to see what
they can do after Glasgow's example.

Mr.. Tompson has spent a great
