Here are two OF the men who are
managing WiSconsin's dairy COW
draft" BY means of this form of con-
ScriptiOn the most suitable animals
are selected for milk production and
the dairy SIaCkerS cOnScripted for beef.
Ii. c. SearleS, Fond du Lac a., field
agent of the Wisconsin State Dairy
mems association. who is cooperating
with Noel Ncgley (2), who acts as field
organizer of COW testing associations
for the United States department of
agriculture and the college of agricul-
ture. University of Wisconsin. Their
state fair exhibit (3) showed the strik
ing difference between lima Failure"
(4) and Lucy" 90 when it comes to
making cheCSe-producing milk. The
first made 226 pounds of cheese at 4
loss IS $l4 while Lucy made 1927
pounds of cheese at a profit of about
$19S.
I've operate on the maxim that a
COW, like Il man, should be put at once
into the position where she can best
serve her country.
This is what COW testing associa-
tions do They make Selective service
possible.
1T is no crime for Il COW to convert
her feed into beef. but it is a criminal
action if she makes feed into beef I'M
profitably under the guiSe of Il dairy
COW"
Noel Negley, one of the supervisors
of WiSconsin's COW testing. thus gives
in plain language the aims and objects
of the eighty-odd testing associations
now doing business in the Badger
state, organized through local initia
tive with the help of the College of Ag-
riculture, the United States depart
ment Of agriculture and the Wisconsin
State Dairymen's association
Every month brings fresh evidence
of the deSirability of forming CONTEST
ing associations. 1t is not simply be-
cause the successful dairymen believe
in them or the bankers Of the state
swear by their capacity for increasing
community wealth. Plenty of evil
dence can be found in the reports of
the official testers to drive away all
doubts.
Reports made by Mr.. Negley for the
last month show, among other things:
That 10000 dairy COWS were exam
ined for "selective service" OF these

Ing them. His is story filed with rO-
nance, faith and devotion to an ideal
that covers a span Of years from the
time an eight-year-old Wisconsin farm
lad down to the present, when large
fOcks "eliminate the waste" on his
farms.
Sheep" said he, make the most
economical gains Of any kind of live
stock, because they clean up the odds
and ends. They are particularly use
full on the farm in the fall of the year,
for they turn into mutton the things
that otherwise would not be used. At
the same time they save the feedstuffs
that would be given them if they did
not have access to these other things"
Clean UP the Waste.
After harvest Mr.. McKerrow's sheep
are turned into the oats fields for a
few hours the first day, an hour Or two
longer the second day, and the time
gradually increased until at the end Of
week they have complete possession
Of the fields. The lambs are permitted
to enter the corn before it is cut and
they clean up on the weeds and lower
corn plant sleaves. The lambs do not
pull down the lower ears of corn as
do the sheep. Roots are grown for
the cattle and sheep, and after the
larger roots are hauled in to storage
for winter use the sheep are turned
into the field and eat the smaller ones
that remain. Both the sheep and
lambs are turned into the aftermath
Of the meadows, and this brings them
into winter quarters in good condi-
ton.
Another profitable practice on this
farm is that Of blowing up fields that
become Weedy after harvest. These
fields are sOwn to rape and turnips,
and later the sheep are turned in. They
eat the rape and turnip tops with rel
iSh and will later hollow the meat
from the turnip, leaving but q shell.
This experienced f1OckmaSter has
found that a frequent change of pas
ture is beneficial to the sheep. A 49,
inch woven wire fence in 20-rOd
lengths is moved about, thus prevent
ing the too short cropping Of the
grass, and furthermore reducing the
internal parasite plague to minimum.
Water is also an important cOnsidera-
ton, and ewes particularly should
have water, the same as dairy COWS.

1O1 were rejected as unfit to serve in
the milk-producing ranks.
That per cent of the total number
tested by the cooperative associations
were found to be in the 40-pOund class,
an excellent mark for that time of the
year.
That defective or improperly oper-
ated separators often spoil the records
of perfectly good dairy COWS and
waste food besides.
That many scrub sireS are being re-
tired in favor Of animals with real
production records. Four such bulls
were sold and replaced with profitable
SireS.
That there is room for wider appli-
cation of the test. People are asking
how many of the 100000 dairy COWS
in Wisconsin are deserving Of a place
at the feeding rack? More testing as
SOciatiOns would determine this and
save money for Liberty bonds or some
other good purpose.

FATHER CROTTY'S CHARGE
Ernest and Sincere, Which Spoiled
ROGER Easements Treason.


Christian Work An echo of the ILL
fated Irish rebellion was sounded the
other day in the London Times by F.
Selfton Delmar. 1t will be remem bered
that the traitor Easement visited the
Lemburg prison camp and endeavored
to induce the Irishmen who were being
held by the Germans as prisoners of
war to go over to the Teutons and fight
against Britain. Mr. Delmar thus de-
scribes the scene:-
After Easement had exhausted his
arts in trying to persuade the men to
desert their flag, and when number of
them had been shaken their allegiance,
Father Crotty, whom l look upon as
one of the heroes of the war, was
asked by his German mentors if he
would speak word of authority to the
waverers then at mass. Faith, and
will he said. 1t must have been
gathered together in their rough camp
chapel, the prizes near the altar, the
German officer in uniform waiting, like
Mephistopeles, for the words to fall
from the priests lips that were to be-
tray these men into his power. The
time came for the good priest to speak
to his children.
"'Men of Galway, and Connaught,'
he said, the German emperor wants
you to go and fight on his side, and
some people have been telling you that
it is a proper thing for you to do. And
| have been asked to tell you the same.
But | have been sent to you by his hOli
ness the pope, not to talk to you or to
mislead you, or to be the prOcurer of

you in the name of God and of the holy
church what is good and right for men
to do. AS the priest Of God [ tell you

the oath you have taken to be loyal to

majority of farms in this country.
They turn waste into cash. The sort
Of saving that the good housewife is
making in her Kitchen can be practiced
with corresponding effectiveness by
the use of sheep on the farm"
'My sheep" he hurried to add, use
up the wastes Of the farm. They clean
up the grass, weeds, brush and CLEAN
ings and in so doing turn into cash
what otherwise would be lost"

Rauxite In 1916.

The production of bauxite, the ore
of aluminium, In 1916 was 425,359
long tons, which had a value of 49,
297,S25, an increase of AZ per cent
in quality and SO per cent in value
over 1915.
This is a notable increase for the
whole United States, but the most
striking figures are those for Georgia
and Alabama. In 1915 the produc-
ton of bauxite in these two States
was 25,00S long tons. The output
was increased to 46,410 long tons in
1916, a gain of Sc per cent. A large
part of this increase is due to the
operation of new and old mines in
central Georgia, notably in Wilkin-
son, Meriwether. and Sumter coun-
ties.
The production in Arkansas and
Tennessee was increased from 272.-
O33 long tons in 1915 to 37S.949
long tons in 1916, a gain of 80 per
cent. This increase can be attribut-
