He Believes in Cow Testing.

"You bet I will answered 0. M.
Grove, president OF tho Farmers Saw.
ings bank at Roland, when asked to
contribute to the fund for the COW
testing association in that territory.
And he handed a check for $50 to the
organizer from Iowa State college. He
donated the same sum last year.
"The COW test ASSOCIATION is the best
thing that ever came along" he added.
81 can name off hand a half dozen
farmers who used to ask me for a
loan every time they came in the bank.
Since the COW test association started
here every one of them comes into
the bank with a check in his hand to
pay off old notes instead Of with Il re-
quest for more notes." 0. S. Boyd,
cashier, attested to the same fact.

A Tip For Owners Of New Cars.

The first thing that the owner of a
new automobile should do is to go to
| the Battery Service Station and let
the battery expert test his battery, &C.
cording to Mr.. Blank, the local Will
lard expert He gives the following
reasons for this.
1.-THE battery really commences to
wear the instant that it is assembled.
AS long as the plates are in contact
with the electrolyte, the battery is
slowly discharging itself.
IF, therefore, an automobile is a
long time in transit from the manu-
facturer to the dealer and then is a
long time in the hands OF the dealer,
it is entirely possible that the bat
terry may have become considerably
discharged. This slow discharge is
perfectly natural. Before the car
owner puts it to hard usage, he should
have it fully charged. If this is once
done, the generator should keep it in
that condition.
1T is to prevent the motorist start
ing out with a half charged battery
when he expects a fully charged one
have their batteries tested immediate
~.
This step is really more than just
seeing that the, motorist gets the full
value for the money spent on his mach
inc. 1t is really the first step in as
surfing him a long and useful life Of
service from his battery, for If the
battery starts it's life fully charged
and then is closely watched. by the
owner during the first three months of
its life, the odds are thousand to one
that it will give little trouble. If, on
he other hand, it goes into commission
half charged, this condition gets
worse and worse until finally the bat
terry is thoroly starved and the owner
thoroly disgruntled. This starved con-
dition is particularly bad, for no
amount of charging at the Service
Station will put the battery back in
the excellent condition in which it
was at the start"

NOW MEMS CORN CONTEST
Statewide Contest to Put Corn Grow
ing on More Satisfactory Basis
and Show Corn Possibilities

To demonstrate that Iowa is merely
scratching the surface of it's agricul-
tural possibilities and to help to put
corn growing on a more satisfactory
basis and show just how much corn
per acre can be grown profitably, the
agricultural extension department at
Iowa State college has inaugurated a
statewide acre corn contest for men,
which may ultimately mean millions
Of dollars in the farmers pockets, The
contest, is endorsed BY the state, bank
,ers.. and corn growers associations.
. Iowa is conceded to be the best corn
state in the union, yet. she does not
have an accurate record, of single acre
yield of corn produced by grownup
farmer, because no definite records
have been kept. That Iowa's corn yield
is much too low is demonstrated by the
fact that in the 1915 boys acre corn.
contest the Al lads, county winners,
produced an average of OIL bushels of
corn per acre, beating the state aver
age by more than SO bushels per acre.
II the fathers had equalled this aver
age the result would have been an $685.
100000 bushel corn crop, an increase
Of nearly 100000 bushels.
The contest will be open to any man
in Iowa over 10 years of aye. County
trophies will be provided in many
counties and also state trophy, which
will be competed for annually. If the
seasons work justifies it, 900 bushel
corn club" will later be organized,
open only to those farmers who have
grown that amount per acre. Every
farmer entering the contest will be
asked to keep simple record of how
his crop was grown. Entries must be
made before June LIST. For instruction

sion department, Iowa State. college.

THREE MAIN THINGS
ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS

Let the patient fix firmly in his mind
the three fundamental principles upon
which the cure for consumption is
based: air, food, and rest. The spe.
cifc instructions regarding exercise
must be obeyed. In cases where there
is as much as a degree of fever, the
least exertion will be harmful. In
cases where fever is absent, over ex-
ertion and excitement must be as care
fully avoided as catching cold.
AS rule consumptives have dis
taste for food. One possessing a good
appetite Is considered fortunate, as eat
ing almost to the extent of stufting, is
quite necessary. Foods that give flesh
and strength are most desirable, such
as milk, eggs, meats, nuts, butter, veg
etables cooked with meat or fats. The
regular three meals, or even four
meals per day, are advocated. Con-
sumption Is one disease in which solid
foods are insisted upon.-Lena A. War
ner, health specialist, Division Of Elk

TREASURE IN YOUR SACK YARD
Must Dig for It Yourself. This Is
the Time Of Year.

Lansing, May 16.--There's a
treasure buried in every mans back
yard, says a state board of health bull
letin; but to find it each man must
dig for it himself, he cannot delegate
the work to an employee.
This is the time of the year for
garden digging, and the state board
of health is handing out the advice
to all to dig in their back yards, not
chiefly for the treasure in vegetables
Though that is not by any means in
considerable with potatoes lowering
around the SO mark) but for the
treasure of health.
In spite of all that medical science
has discovered, it has never discover
ed anything that can take the place
of old DR.. Sun and DR.. Wind and DR..
Open Air. And there is something
in the close contact with free Mother
Earth that has a revivifying and me-
dicinal effect on the human system.
Especially is the advice to make
the most of the back yard gardens
treasure Of health handed out in view
of the tuberculosis problem in Michi.
gan. There is a great cry through
out the state for'erecting tuberculosis
And they are needed
unquestionably. But if every man
would make the most of the health
he can dig up with spade in his
own yard, far fewer sanatoriums land
for that matter, too)
would be needed.
There is an old legend, the bulletin
continues, thata rich man, dying, re-
vesled to his son that there was a
large amount of treasure hidden in his
vineyard. The son dug up every
inch of ground to find it, And while
there was no gold there, the increase
IN the grape crop as a result OF the
of the earth was so large that
in reality itnetted the son much
treasure. So, also, even though the
back yard garden cost more than the
vegetables bring, still the gardener
inds a real treasure of health.

FARM MULES
FOR money
Livestock Men Can Well Plan
For Better Conditions In
the Near Future

An S00-pound mule can be produced
at net profit of $29. A 1,1O0-pound
mule can be producted at net profit
of $35. The 1,25O.pound mule can be
produced at a net profit of $55.
These are actual results obtained by
the Mississippi experiment station
after several years Of work in breeding
mules.
This 1,25O-pound mule, the large,
high-selling mule, can not be produced
from the ordinary light native mares,
no matter what kind of jack is used.
Prepare to add from Sc to $26 per
head additional profit to each mule you
are producing by lettering your mares
for the purpose
They can be graded up quite rapidly
no matter how inferior they may be,
by the use of properly selected draft
stallion to mate with them.
The FLIES resulting from such cross
ing will make ideal mule mares; will
themselves do more work and in every
way add to the value Of your holding
OF farm work stock.-C. d. Lowe, Di-
vision of Extension, University of Ten.

LET NE WALK WITH THE
MEN IN THE ROAD

It's only half truth the poet has sung
OF the house by the side of the
way"
Our Master had neither a house nor a
home,
But he walked with the crowd day
by day.
And think. when I read of the poets
desire,
That a house by the road would be
good;
But service is found in its tenderest
form
When we walk with the crowd in the
road.
So l say, let me walk with the men in
the road,
Let me seek out the burdens that
crush,
Let me speak kind word of good
cheer to the weak
Who are falling behind in the rush.
There are wounds to be healed, there
are breaks we must mend,
There's cup of cold water to give;

Then tell me no more Of the house by

There is only one place | can live.
It's there with the men who are toiling
along,
Who are needing the cheer | can
give.
1t is pleasant to live in the house by
the way
And be friend, as the poet has
said;
But the Master is bidding us, Bear ys

And watch as the toilers go on,
Their faces beclouded with pain and |
with sin.
So burdened, their strength nearly |
gone.
I'll go to their side, I'll speak in good
cheer,
I'll help them to carry their load:
And I'll smile at the man in the house
by the way,
AS walk with the crowd in the road.
Out there in the road that goes by. the
house,
Where the poet is singing his song,
I'll walk and I'll work midst the heat
of the day,
And I'll help falling brothers along
Too busy to live in the house by the
way,
Too happy for such an abode.
And my heart sings its praise to the
