COWS THAT PRODUCE

Much credit is due Mr.. Victor Beck"
man of Freedmen for the wonderful
results returned by some of his Hol-
stein Friesan cows. Mr.. Beckman has
just completed the testing Of four in
dividuals Of his herd for registration
in the Holstein- Friesan Advanced Reg
istry list. The test was for one week s
production. The tests more than met
the expectations of the owner: To be
eligible, 2-yearold cows must produce
7.2 pounds of butterfat per week and
old cows 1870 pounds in the same
time. Mr.. Beckman's 2-year-old pro-
duced 1878 pounds of butterfat and
the aged COW produced 21.094 pounds
Of butter in one week.
The following is a summary Of the
tests for the week:
Vanish Maid Ormsby DeKol, years
old, Amt. of milk 261.S, Az. test but
terfat 1928, Amt. butterfat 1856, Amt.
Of butter 1878.
Inka Johanna Ormsby Queen, 3 years
old, Amt. of Milk 1926, Av test but
terfat 3.16, Amt. butterfat 1913, Amt.
of butter l3.03S.
Vanish Pierterje Mercedes, years
old, Amt. of milk 1910, Az. test but
terfat "a, Amt. butterfat l4.948, Amt.
of butter 1865.
Manitau Alma Johanna, s years old,
Amt. Of milk 1923, Az. test butterfat
3.5, Amt. of butterfat 16.875, Amt. of
butter 21.O94.
Alma Johanna averaged $50 pounds
of milk per ''ay, about 80 quarts, and
the last day produced 3.5 pounds of
butter. This certainly shows that good
blood and good care will give desira-
bic results, in TACT shows that the
farmer cannot afford to be without the
good blood and give other than the
! proper care.
The feed that Mr.. Beckman used
was from the following: Glover and
timothy hay, corn silage, corn, oats,
! bran, shorts and cotton seed meal. This
gave a good variety and made posi-
bic the feeding for heavy production,
since a variety in the feed will make
the animals eat better. Mr.. Beckman
says, that the testing has taught him
many lessons about dairying, that he
never thought Of, among which is,
that the more COW will eat the more
| economic COW she is, and that it is
possible to feed cow so much that
she will 60 off feed and thus fall off
in the amount of her product.
This testing was not done under Mr..
Beckman's guidance, but at his re-
quest, by men sent out by the Holstein-
Friesan association. The figures are
authentic and have been sworn to in
the presence Of notary public. The
men who conducted the testing are F.
H. Sargent, University farm, St. Paul,
and NJ. H. Weyworth, Plainfeld, Wis
The testing has been of value to the
owner in the following ways: In
creases the value Of his livestock, has
been an education, adds to his interest
in his work and his satisfaction and
shows the possibilities of scientific
farming. Mr.. Beckman's work should
be an example for other farmers. The
lowly hog and the dairy COW are the
mortgage filters and the tax payers.

BURN WHEAT FIELDS
TO Be |. W. W. PLAN
FLAMING BOMBS HURLED FROM
TRAINS, AND SUN GLASSES
PUT ON WHEAT STOCKS.

A bold plot to destroy all crops in
the agricultural districts of South
Dakota has been formulated, acord-
ing to United States army officers,
and men are stationed throughout
the state ready to apply the torch.
The farmers of the state are warned
to keep the closest vigil over their
wheat and corn fields.
Leaders of the Industrial Workers
of the World, backed by German
gold, are behind the plot army men
say, and have maps of agricultural
sections of the state. Federal au-
thorities seeking to apprehend these
men have learned that a simultane-
Gus attempt at destruction of crops
will be made throughout the state.
Bombs and Sun Glasses in Kansas.
That the intrigue extends beyond
South Dakota, and perhaps through
out the entire country, is evidenced
by the burning of the wheat field of
Charles Neil, near Lyons, Kan, by
an incendiary bomb hurled from a
freight train. A similar attempt,
though unsuccessful, was made
against the wheat field of George
Potwin, a neighbor of Neil.
At Hutchinson, Kan, bombs have
been thrown from passing trains and
sun glasses, have been placed on top
of wheat stacks at night to cause
fires at midday. Much grain has
been destroyed in this way. Secre-
