The inside story of the means by which
the Prussian plot against the United
States was brought to light would form
a theme of absorbing interest. especially
to the American public; and it is pos
sible that the facts will be divuged at
some date in the distant future. The
matter is of such tremendous importance
in world history that it is not likely
that the story of the revelation will be
kept secret always. When the part
played by the United States in the world
war is written up, this German intrigue
against the government and people of
the United States is bound TO be one of
the most interesting chapters, or parts.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Strange Alliance.

The desperate plight OF Germany il
revealed with startling distinctness b,
her overtures to Mexico to join with hel
and Japan in an alliance against the
United States as disclosed this morning
with the full authorization of officia
documents. Through Count Won Bern.
storff at Washington. Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman, on Jan. 10, two weeks be,
fore the new barred zone was proclaimed
approached Carranza with the proposal
of an alliance, holding out the alluring
inducement of financial aid and the
chance to reeonquer Texas, Arizona, and
New Mexico.
This is sufficiently grotesque, but not
less so than the role assigned to Japan.
The sagacious government Of that empire
has just concluded a treaty with Rus.
STA by which she obtains substantial ad
vantages and practically free hand in
carrying out her plans of expansion and
influence in China, through which she
aspires TO become the mistress of the
far east. Japan is also firmly bound
to Russia and the other allies in the war
against Germany.
With US she is on terms of friendship,
and the only difference between the two
countries relates TO the treatment of her
subjects in some of the far western
states of the union. Germany expects
her, now an enemy in arms, TO turn sud
denly about and become friend, to fight
by her side against the powers with
which she Is in alliance.
II is an extraordinary story, but it
shows that we acted none too soon in
severing our relations with Germany and
in sending home the ambassador who
was her instrument in the effort to raise
up enemies against Us. IL may perhaps
have been observed that the German
language press in this country has OF
late published many warnings of the
dangers TO the United States Of an en-
broilment with Germany, pointing out
the great probability that Japan would
see therein an opportunity for her reck-
oning with us.-New York Times.

the milk produced by each COW is add
ed and a sample of the milk is tested
about the middle of each month. The
value of the butter fat and skim milk
is calculated and the cost Of the feed
consumed is deducted therefrom.
These monthly figures are entered on
another sheet for the yearly record.
Take, for example. the years record of
the COW Fannie. She freshened late in
December 1914, dried off October %,
1915, and freshened again December
%, 1915. Her profit above the cost
of feed amounted to $3.50 for the year
1915.
A comparison Of the yearly records
of the seven cows with their photo
graphs is interesting. With the pic
lures at hand it will be seen that one
cannot judge the production of a cow
for the year from her conformation
alone. The COW Myrtle was surprise
to her owner. for while she had never
given q large quantity of milk at
milking, her record showed her to be
a persistent mixer. She stood Sec
ond in profit over cost of feed and re-
turned to her owner more than the
combined profits of Ellen and Blanche.
The combined profits of Fannie. Dia-
mond, Pet, and Myrtle amounted to
S1S21S. or an average of $45.O4 per
cow, while the average profit OF Diana,
Ellen and Blanche was S23.76 or about
| he
this dairyman had had seven cows as
+, good as his best four. he would have
had q total profit of S317.30 instead Of
S253.45, a difference Of $63.95. This
amount would be large return for the
time spent in keeping the records.
Value Of Dairy Records.
The only safe way of valuing dairy
cows is by the quantity of milk and
butter fat they produce. This neces-
states the keeping of records. These
records will point out the good and the
improbable cows the dairyman can
save the offspring of the good cows,
so that he will soon have a herd OF
large and economical producers.
The dairy milk sheet enables the
feeder to prepare proper rations and
feed these according to the quantity
of milk produced. All cows should not
be fed alike; the high producers re-
Uuire more feed than the low produc.
crs. Without records 1t is impossible
to feed economically.
Three common rules for feeding are
~ Feed 1 pound Of grain to every :
to pounds Of milk produced, or
pound of grain daily to every pound
of butter fat produced per week; (2)
feed all the roughage the cows will
eat up clean; and (3) cut down on
the expensive feed when the COW be.
gins to gain in live weight.
In addition. the daily milk sheet en-
abies the dairyman, when a drop Oc
ours in the yield of milk, to detect nnd
ward off or check cases Of illness that
might become serious If not treated
promptly. and it also enables the own
or to check up on the thoroughness
Of the milking of the different en-
ployees. Breeding records also should
be kept in addition to production rec
ords.
Records are not only valuable to the
owner in the aforementioned ways
but they aid In selling his stock. On'
man in a contrasting association SOLE
his cows for sos to $50 more because
of their records.
