We look to Wisconsin, at least

large number of profitable COWS
having been imported from there
into this state during the year,
ant these same COWS have been
bred by dairymen who keep rec
ords. and eliminate the unprofit-
able ones. Wisconsin has thou
sands of dairy cows on test, and
the owners know no other way
to improve their herds. than keep
ing records, using good bulls from
high-producing dams, feeding the
good cows well, raising the heifer
calves from the best cows, and
sending the scrub" to the
butcher. t...
Louisiana dairymen must start
the record work if they are going
to stay in the business and make
money, and all dairymen know
that their work is too hard and
laborious to keep cows for pleas
ure.
There are a few dairymen in
the state who are keeping records
of their cows and nine out of ten
of them are making money. or
they certainly know the reason
why. The labor and cost of keep
ing records of the dairy herd is
one of the smallest items of ex-
pense attached to the dairy farm
and when once started it is found
simple, easy, and always proves
interesting to the dairymen, and,
most important of all, very prof
liable. The value Of record work
for the dairyman will be demon
strated at the Farmers Short
Course to be held at the State
University, Jan. $40, and we hope
many dairy farmers will be pres
ent.
The Dairy Division of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture fur
nishes free all record blanks and
books necessary for herd record
work, and the equipment needed
For making the tests can be had
For a small sum. Any dairyman
to start the record work

ance that he needs free of charge

sengers had discussed the prospect Of
the liner being attacked by q sub

The same spirit Of antagonism to-
ward city and town affairs was en-
phasized in the consideration Of bills
urged by Fargo city officials. Repre-

Washington, Feb. 16.-The house

increase the general staff Of the army
was attacked by the Army League Of
the United States as q backward step
in the movement for strengthening the

George Hewitt Meyers, secretary Of

Criminal Neglect Charged.
The committees refusal to increase

tary of War N. D. Baker was exposed
by the Chicago Tribune last week. It
was pointed out that the action Of the
committee was crimtnally neglectful
Of the nations needs. Mr. Meyers, in
discussing it today, said:
the strength of the general staff be
fixed at 90 members az was provided
Tor IN the defense act when It passed
the senate. He also requested that
the restrictions as to where the gem

pealed. Under the existing law only
