42O COWS TESTED
Interesting Table For All OF Cur
Local Dairymen
SHOULD STICK TO THE COW

Four months testing mas Deen com.
Melted in the Middletown Cow Testing
Association Over APO cows have been
tested for the month ending June 18th.
Ten cows were sold to the butcher being
improbable, making total OF twenty
two cows for the four months. The
members of the Association are show
mo more interest in the Individual
records of the cows as the year pro-
crosses. Two registered bulls of good
breeding were bought last month to re-
place grade sires, two new COWS were
also bought.
Cows are showing the effect of being
turned out on grass too soon and pasture
verv short so | believe it would be
profitable to feed some grain during
July and August about three to eight
pounds daily depending on the flow OF
milk.
With the high prices paid for beef
and the scarcity of cow feed few
farmers are selling off good producing
dairy animals for beef which is a detrl-
ment to the dairy business and detrl-
ment to the country at large.
Stick to- the COW. The farmer that
sticks to the COW will be in a better po-
sition to make profit than the farmer
who makes temporary changes. a
balanced agriculture is always more
nroftable than the over production OF
ones products.
We all know that we are not recelv-
inc enough for our milk in comparison
with other commodities. Grain has In
creased so to 100 per cent. so have other
articles used at home while milk has
only increased Is to 20 per cent.
Milk is bound to increase in price with
other commodities when the people IN
towns and cities realize the cheap value
of milk as food. Milk at fifteen cents
a quart is cheaper as food than all
kinds Of meats, eggs and other articles
used at home. The farmer VIII get
more for his. milk when the cost OF
handling it will oe reduced. The Ma
tional Dairy Council is spending ten
thousand dollars year advertising milk
and its products and that will help to
educate the people, the value Of milk
as a food, and therefore increase the
consumption Of milk and its products.
The following table gives the names
and records Of the cows in the Assocl-
alton which have produced more than
40 pounds Of butterfat or 1000 pounds
Of milk during the period of 80 days
ending June 18th, 1917.

PLEASING BOY SCOUT ADDRESS


place of his usual morning sermon, in
troduced Mr.. Greenhawk, of Whining
ton, Head Scout Master for Delaware
who gave pleasing resume of the his
tory of that useful organization already
noted for its services and daily getting
new renown for its labors in the nation
war.
Mr.. Greenhawk said that the famous
English officer, 1t. General Baden
Powell, had discovered in the Boer war
the usefulness of boys as messengers
ETC., and that after his return to Eng
land he there organized the movement
now known all over the world as the
"Boy Scouts" numbering over mil
lion members.
The speaker said Mr.. Joyce intro
duced the Boy Scouts to the United
States, borrowing Gen. Baden Powell's
ideas.
High authorities dispute this English
origin of the Boy Scouts, tracing it to
widely separated sources. many of the
originators of these various ideas being
Americans.
Be that as it may there are 285, 900
Boy Scouts now in this country, and
they are doing noble work in many
ways not to speak of getting world
of benefit therefrom themselves.
Thus the speaker told how they Sc
cured 500, 900, 900 Of Liberty Bond sub
scriptions. Of this amount $780,
worth were secured in Wilmington and
$4,000 W orth in Middletown by our town
boys.
Mr.. Greenhawk paid the Middletown
Boy Scouts the high compliment of say
ing that they had gotten the largest
per capita amount Of all the Boy Scouts
in Delaware
The Scribe takes great pleasure in
adding to the luster of this big achieve
ment by informing his readers that
these Industrious, earnest lads did their
record beating work in one day, they
not having had the chance until the last
day and that after many citizens had
already bought their bonds.
The speaker wishes to inform the far
mers that they will be able to get Boy
Scout help in the harvesting of their
crops by applying to the State Boy
Scouts Encampment shortly to be open
ed near Middletown.
The speaker paid a just compliment
to the Rev. Donaghay for his interest
and zeal as Scout Master of the Boy |
Scouts in Miidletown.
The Scouts IN their new khaki uni |
forms look handsome enough and their
marching shows more military dash and |
accuracy. That our boys will continue
to give a good account of themselves
no one doubts. The Transcript wishes
they may get still more fame in the
coming encampment Hard work and |
much of it is the only recipe.
Mr.. Greenhawk said Mr.. w. j. Bryan
just come from the war front in France,
to him brutal illustration Of |
German perfidy that recently occurred
there.
An English officer in charge came
across wounded German officer lying
on the ground, and stopping propped
his head up and otherwise make him
more comfortable, intending later to
take him up. AS the humane officer
went forward on the charge the migrate
full cur of a German drew his revolver
and shot his benefactor in the back of |
the head killing him ! Here's sample
of ''Kultur'' chivalry for you!
