LARGEST RECORD FOR MILK
Cow High in Flesh at caIving Time
Gives Much Richer Milk for Long
Period Than When Thin.

Missouri investigators have shown
that a COW high In flesh at calving
time gives very much richer milk for
some time than would be the case
were she thin. This knowledge is
now made use of by every breeder of
dairy cattle who desires to make the
largest possible record for milk and
butter fat production.
Another interesting discovery is that
when a COW is underfed that tempo
rarily she gives richer milk rather
than thinner as might be expected.
This is Of great Importance in connec-
ton with making tests of cows and
failure to understand this effect has
resulted in wrong conclusions from
many experiments conducted with
cows in the past.

coins. Later, the blade part was left
off and only the circular Landle re-
NAMED (making it's present shape).
Coins were also issued in the shape
of shirts, hoes, sickles, spades, etc.
Leave it to the Chinese to devise queer
but ridiculously simple makeshifts
What was often an acute problem in
the East is shown by an act of the
sixth century. She ordered the bronze
statue of Siaka to be cast into coins
and plaster one erected in its place.
The coinage was continually being up
set by the great absorption of coins to
be cast into Buddhist images. At the
end Of the eighth century the scarcity
Of copper grew so general that rent
was universally paid in rice.
In Egypt and Babylon copper was
used in bricks, but generally in rings.
1t was employed in this manner In Ire
land down to the twelfth century and
is still in use In the interior of Africa.
The earliest western coinage was eth
er that of Lydia or Pheidon. The
Greeks and the Romans employed
coins.
The Carthagians seemed to possess
a form of currency similar to bank
notes. These notes consisted CT small
pieces OF leather In which q substance,
known only to the maker, was
wrapped. 1t was then sealed and Is
sued for circulation. These issues
were made only under the authority
Of the state.
1t is significant Of the extent to
which money and banking is allied
with progress that in the middle ages
money became practically unknown.

How many people know the reason
for the milled edges on coins? 1t was
introduced through the necessity of
preventing Clipping" and sweating"
That gentle art consisted of shaving
the edges of coins to obtain the gold
or silver and then passing them off
for their full face value. Strong laws
against this practice were enacted
from time to time, ever since money
was Invented. 1t was even treated as
treason and made subject to severe
punishment, but Notwithstanding this
curb persons Of good position, and
sometimes high ecclesiastics, were
found guilty. Clipping was at last
stopped by the Introduction In 1858
of milling the edges of coins. Only
those Of higher denominations were
thus treated, and pennies and" nickels
to this day have smooth edges.
To anyone who has delved even a
little bit into the subject of money"
the fascination numismatics holds for
coin collectors is readily understand
able. One of the first things man in
vented, money has had long and
interesting history.
Coins as we see them today are the
result Of a development more or less
haphazard. An example Of this Is
found in the mark resembling a new
moon which almost every Chinese coin
bears. This originated in an accident
during the time Of Empress Wentek,
in 500 A. d. The wax model of a
proposed coin was presented to her
majesty for approval. In taking hold
Of the model she left the impression
of her thumb nail on it, and as a re-
suit, 1t has been q marked character
istic Of Chinese coins for hundreds Of
years. 1t was even copied in Japan
and Korea.
The origins of money terms are in
teresting. In 270 B. c., the Romans,
who had been saved from defeat in
battle by warning that the Goddess
Juno was supposed to have given, sur
named her "Moheta" from "mOnere"
Ito warm, and erected temple which
they called by this name. Shortly

thereafter some spoils of war were
temple. Later the building was used
as a mint. 1t was only natural that
its productions came to take the name
of "mOneta."
The word dollar" is derived from
the German "thal," meaning vale or
valley. In 1884 the German (now
Austrian) government coined a GER
tain piece of silver called Grown"
This was the first coin as far as we
know to be of the size and weight of
the coins which were later known as
pieces-Of-eight, piastres, dollars, etc.
In 1916 Bohemian feudal lord named
Count Schlick coined some pieces of
silver of this size at a mint In Joach-
inns Thai, or Joachim's Vale in Bo-
hernia. They were first known as
Schlicktenthalers and Joachimsthalers
-afterward abbreviated to "thalers."
These coins were circulated in Bohe-
mia and the low countries, where they
were variously called "thalers," "dal-
lers," "daalers," etc. They even
reached Constantinople and were
named "aslani." When Charles V, king
of Spain, heard of Schlicktenthalers
he decided to adopt the size as stand
ard. So he coined eight Spanish reals
of silver, which amounted to about
the size Of thaler, and called them
"pieces-of-eight' and "dollers." This
coin in July, 1896, was adopted in
America by the continental congress.
The sign of a dollar ($) came about
in this way: When Charles V de-
signed pieces-of-eight the two pillars
of Hercules were placed on one side
with scroll forming an rs" and the
words "Plus ultra" This made a
crude "$." 1t came to be used as a
sign for pieces-of-eight-af
dollar.
The word "carat" originated in the
East and slgnified beans of locust
tree. These beans were used from
time immemorial among eastern ma
lions as weight, just as barley and
wheat have been with us.
Money was called cash" by the an
cient Hindus (from "karsha-pana," a
coin). "Coin" comes from the Latin
word "cuneus," die or stamp.
"Gulneas" is dubbed from the country
in which the gold was obtained.
Franc" is the abbreviation of the in
scription Francorum Rex. Shilling"
comes from root signifying to div
ide.
Ancient coins are often valuable for
the history inscribed on them. Vic
tories have been commemorated and
rulers immOrtalized through the me-
dunn of coins. Further, the move
ments of people have often been es-
tablished by digging up their coins in
distant countries.

Hi THE NY
COWS NEED SOME MINERALS
Animals Unable to Utilize Sufficient
Amount From Ordinary Ration to
Support Body.

1t has been definitely proved that
cows which produce a heavy flow Of
milk are not able to utilize sufficient
mineral matter from the ordinary ra-
ton to maintain the proper quantity
OF minerals in the body; in other
words, more of these mineral ele-
ments are given off than the COW can
obt''n from the ration, and the body
Of the COW is robbed of mineral ele-
ments to supply the deficiency.
In addition to an ordinary ration,
one ounce of common salt per cow
daily is sufficient to maintain the
proper quantity Of sodium and chic
rine in a COW producing as pounds Of
milk daily. An ordinary mixed ration
supplies sufficient potassium for every
need of a high-prOducing COW. The
element calcium or lime appears to be
deficient in all COWS except those with
q very Tow milk production.
The deficiency of minerals in the
ration had no apparent effect on the
amount or composition of the milk.
This fact proves that the deficiency
Is overcome, as far as possible, by
mineral elements taken from the body
Of the COW. While the nitrogen COM
pounds from alfalfa hay were slightly
more digestible than those from clover
hay, the nitrogen from clover was

The dalryman cannot get good milk,

city market, when his stables are kept
in an unsanltary condition. When the
manure is left to pack under the cows

from the COW.

.MTs0N's PUBLICATION 7
IS HELD FROM MAILS.
Many Intricate Steps Necessary Be-
fore Publication Can Again Be
Mailed.

Macon, Ca, Aug. 14.-Government
officials in Macon were notified yes
terday that the Postmaster General
has revoked authorization of Tom Wat
sons paper, the Jeffersonian, to mail
privileges as second-class matter. The
action of the department is based on
Section 4S1 IL of the postal laws and
regulations, derived from the espion-
age act of Congress, passed in June.
1t is understood that the postmaster
at Thomson has been notified not to
to accept the Jeffersonian in the flu
ture as second-class matter.
The announcement received yester-
day has been expected by local author
tits for some time, as the case CT tn
Jeffersonian has been before the Third
Assistant Postmaster General for four
or five weeks. The Postmaster at Sa-
yannah held UP the Jeffersonian one
week, the Macon postmaster held up
the paper the following week, and in
dividual postmasters at various points
have either held up distribution or
asked for instructions from the depart
ment, because of the nature of articles
contained in the various issues.
Local Office Planned Action.
The local Office of the United States
District Attorney has had correspon-
dence with the Washington officials
with reference to the Jeffersonian,
and it has been currently reported ON
several occasions that the paper had
been barred. Finally the Postoffice de-
partment took charge of the case and
notified postmasters to continue the
distribution of the paper until de-
cision was reached. The decision
came yesterday and is final. There
are a number of intricate steps which
can be admitted to- the mails as second
class matter again, and it's admission
at any future time is in the discretion
of the department.
The complaints filed against the JEFF
fersonian were based on attacks made
on the draft law and alleged efforts to
incite readers to violations of the law.
The action of the government is ex-
pected to go long ways towards put
ting the Jeffersonian out of business.
