brought out by some Of tho foremost

A little over two years ago Prof.

other of equal size makes a moderate
profit Of $7.s5 per COW (yearly). but

las taken place the nation over since
1918: and in this fact we have the
real reason for the farmers demand
for higher prices.
The great majority OF farmers are
not getting enough out OF their time
and labor. not to mention expense, to
buy a new hat every twelvemonth.
Why IL this? the uninitiated will ask.
And to answer broadly. because they
are caring for out Of date dairy cattle.
The best dairymen Of New York
State know this. and one Of them, Paul
7. Brady. has recently gone TO some
pains to make the true situation clear
to Mr. Hoover and his colleagues. The
United States Food Administration
cannot hope to help matters materially
unless due weight Is given to the in
dustrial drag which 20 large a per-
centage Of the cows on our farms now
represent. Mr.. Brady points out that:
Tho dairy cow OF the present date
is a product of evolution. and that
evolution has taken place in a rela-
lively short period Of time. The
amount of milk given by q COW under
natural conditions, that is. running
wild and for the sucking OF her off,
spring only, Is from 1000 to $500
pounds a year. According to the United
The sun., 1917-09-30

II should judge that the averaes prs-
duction Of the average dairy COW to-
day would be between $500 and 5000
pounds Of milk annually with q Yield
Of 200 pounds Of butter-the butter. Of
course. being q product Of that milk.
Now let us So how . farmer would
come out if his cows proved Of this
output capacity, and a great many Of
them do not measure up TO this stand
ard or average.
An UnDroatable Business.
The USUAL amount Of feed given 70
dairy cows 10 about ono pound for
each four pounds Of milk. Tho price
of feed at tho present time II about
three cents Q pound. or $50 . ton. I
am paying from 81 to $50 . ton for
grain low. and tho same grain and
feed could bs had three years ago af
from $50 to $26 q ton.
"Jt costs to take care Of the ordinary
dairy COW and to feed her for . year
anywhere from $50 to $3.50. but let us
strike a mean and say that sl2o wni
cover these charges for twelve months.
Where will tho milk producer stand at
the end Of q year?
"If tho 5000 pounds Of milk yielded
by each COW Is sold At seven cents Q
quart, or $S.10 q hundred pounds-the
price recently proclaimed by the Ddry-
mems League. Of which I am not Q
member-the income At that rate ID

vested in land, buildings. cattle. &C.
and with these factors considered II
should be plain that the ordinary
farmer in New York State. at least
cannot break even II he sells his milk
at seven cents q quart.
1T Is true that milk can be pro-
duced for less money than this. but
that calls for a different kind Of COW
from that Of tho average dairy sort
and. in passing. It may be remarke<
that cows Of the desired superior kind
cost a great deal more in ths mrs,
place. That Is the price that must be
paid for efficiency, whether 1t be q
machine or an animal. and one Nigh,

tered herds. The average production
assumed was one which should be
readily obtained by the farmer who
breeds from his best stock. Even so.
the chamber sounded the following
warming:
"The facts show that a large
amount Of the milk supply Of this city
Is produced by small farmers Of very
limited means, whose cows are pro-
ducing less than the average deter
mined as reasonable production. and
therefore. without doubt the cost of
producing milk on hundreds Of farms
throughout New England is actually
higher than the cost cited In this re-
port"
According to tho latest data issued
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture we have in this country
22,768.000 milch COWS. BY the same
authority the average price per head
Of these animals Is only 3596s. which
implies that vast percentage Of these
milk producers are worth little more
than their meat value. In other words.
they represent loss rather than a
source Of profit through. their keep for
the milk they yield. This Is not an
unwarranted assumption but q fact

the air he breathed. he went below
and didn't come up for moro than an
hour. We were beginning to become
alarmed and were about to pull the
boat up by tho ropes when he raped
on the side with a hammer, which
was the signal to draw him up.
When he opened tho top he came
out sinking. Holland had demon.
strated the effectiveness Of the diving
theory simply with tho aid Of the beer
kegs. Tho trouble with the boat arose
from the difference in displacement in
salt water and fresh. which no had
overlooked. Tho boat would have been
all right in the salt water. though.
His fifteen foot craft with its double
engine and Its two diving rudders
solved the problem Of diving, and he
made discoveries that enabled him
later to design q submarine torpedo
boat which was accepted by tho United
States Government. On his work the
development Of the submarine IL based.
For q long time there was secrecy
a. to who was paying the expenses Of
Hollands experiments. One story was
that friends of ireland wanted the
Holland boat to attack Great Britain's
warships. One Ct the mon who gave
great deal Of attention to tho exper-
iments was O'Donovan Rosa, the Irish
revolutionist. He made many visits
to sac how We were progressing.
"Once while he and others were
watching US experimenting on the
river ! saw the reflection Of q small
glass which flashed in my face. tried
to locate the glass and discovered that

For the sake Of accuracy the tabu-
lations were checked by such Govern
ment figures as were avaIiable in COM
bination with the records Of COW test
ing associations in each State. Finally.
In determining the cost of milk at its
source not only feed and labor were
taken into account. but likewise inter-
est on investment. depreciation Of
plant. insurance, taxes, &C.. as would
be done in evaluating any up to date
business.

second time. After our experience with
the spies these invitations ceased as
there was danger that somebody might
injure the boat.
Il well remember one day we were
working on her down the river. All
OF a sudden the engine started putting
and we going forward, then backward
and ahead again. All of the spectators,
even Mr.. Rosa, lodged behind trees
and houses, and still others ran for
safer shelter, thinking the evil one
was inside and 1t would blow up. But
the trouble was only caused by having
too much steam and We had to work
some of it Off or the boiler would have
burst.
FINALLY We got started and we
surely did go. 1t was a good thing
for us that there was no speed limit or
we should have got into trouble. We
could see those behind straining their
eyes to see what would happen to us.
but we soon turned and came steam
ing back quite satisfied with our ex-
pertinent. But 1t was funny to see
the expression of horror on the faces
Of those about us when We sailed
away.
What did I have to DO with the
construction? Well. Mr.. Holland was
the inventor and drew his own plans.
Not always though did he furnish his
own drawings and many Of the parts
had to be worked out. was young
machinist at the time and much inter-
ested in machinery but had no
thought of building such a thing as
an undersea boat, though / must con-
fess I was greatly interested in It
when We finally got It started.
"All parts were assembled before we
launched It, but it was necessary to
make many alterations. 1t was quite
an easy matter to think certain parts
should work. hut 1t was another mat
er to make them work as we wished

kegs that kept IL aloat. Then one
night some malicious person cut the
kegs adrift and when Holland went to
look for his submarine he found 1t had
disappeared, but he had removed the
engine and other machinery long be-
fore that.
1T is my impression that Holland
invented tho bat rudder that steers the
present submarines and airplanes up
and down. That alone would have been
a great invention.
Holland lived until the war in
Europe started. long enough to wit
ness the success Of submarines. Pre-
vious to that time he had experimental
with two other submarine boats, the
second one being larger than the first
and perfected to the extent that 1t
would work we'll. After he had plans
accepted in a competition by the
United States Government he built the
third model. Owing to interference
from the Government he was ham,
pered and tho submersible was not
satisfactory. To prove his statements
that It was Government interference
that caused the failure he built another
boat that was satisfactory In every
way. 1t was named the Holland, and
when war was declared with Spain he
asked permission to 80 with his sub
marine and destroy the Spanish ves-
sells. but Dewey and Sampson and
Schley didn't give him time to get
ready and the war was over before he
had q chance to do anything.
always when Holland was expert
menting curious crowds gathered and
people were at different times invited
to 20 down In the boat with him. but
most people were not attracted to an
uncanny submersible that refused to
emerge without the use of a rope. Oc-
casionally one was found that had
pluck enough to go down, but none
was particularly anxious to try 1t the
