CAN YOU BEAT IT?

Interest compounded will beat any investment if al
lowed time enough. To illustrate: Alaska purchased
fifty years ago. at cost of $7000000 recent state
shows has yielded since that time nearly $700OOO
000 This it is pointed out is wonderful increase and
q most profitable investment Yet if the same sum had
been placed at interest at per cent and compounded it
would in fifty years have amounted to about S25OO0OOO
This would be largely in favor Of the investment but it
will be the interest has been at work Now if the
interest was allowed to another fifty years the orig
nal investment would have amounted to about S. 250000
COO By the end of 100 years Alaska will have produced
much more than this but with another hundred years in
the game it would be badly winded and out Of the race
for that time the which the original investment OF
$7000000 would amount to- placed at interest about
S760830 100000. 1t would have doubled every twelve
years. and in 200 years would have doubled itself sixteen
and two-thirds times. Every dollar would have earned
in that time $08690 and would have earned interest for
the whole time at the rate of $149 day. Can you beat t
AS another little example Of the get-there-a atveness
of interest take look at the Rockefeller fortune How
much ii is no knows but he is commonly credited with
being blionare Supposng this estimate to be correct
his money at interest for as years at six per cent would
double itself four times and amount to $l6000OO0O0O
96 wears it would have doubled itself eight times and
total S256 0000000O0 In twelve years more it would
double again and amount to $5l20O000OOOO or sum
equal about to the total valuation Of the United States
This would double again in twelve years At the end of
200 years it would amount to $108 000000OO0: This
is considerably than ten times the value of the en-
tire world.

Annual Report Of
Cow Testing Association

Over a million and a half pound:
Of milk containing 7l,Tl5 pounds OF
butterfat was produced by the 24l COW,
Of the Turner Marion County Cow Test
ing association, which completed theiI
years records This far was sold at an
average price OF a little less than SO l..
cents per pound, representing q total
value Of over SOS 900. The total profit
above feed was Sl0,S77 and il cost on an
average of SO.lS9 TO produce pound
OF. fat.
In all 800 cows were tested. a number
of which have found their way to the
butcher directly as result Of the test
work.
Ii is interesting to note that the cows
fed some silage during the year made an
average profit of 1881 more than
those which received no silage. Hay
was valued at $40 per ton and silage at
81. The average profit Of the cows Of
the four best fed herds was $3.50 as
compared with $33.3l for those of the
four poorest fed herds. The average
production OF all COWS was 309.3 pounds
OF 'at at a profit of S4o.03.
fhe champion COW is owned by Garbe
Bros, Of Aumsville. She is l4-year-
old grade Jersey and produced nearly
$4,000 pounds OF milk containing 6525
pemGr fat in 10 months at a profit of
sl3a.G3. The Garbe herd of high grade
Jerseys also made the best average prof
it, or $62.2I Ter COW including four
heiferS With first calf.
RGanic No. |, grade Jersey owned
hy J, Il. Bovine, has a still more en-
viable record of 1854 pounds milk con
tanning 6306 pounds fat in 10 l-2
months. Though her feed cost was
nearly 800 for the year. she made a
net profit Of S12S25. Mr.. Bowne's av-
erage production for the 20 cows com
pletihg their tests, is 1856 pounds fat g,
the highest average production of any
grade herd and surpassed only by two
herds of registered Jerseys on official
test which had the advantage of longer
milking periods.
+. A. Docrfler had the highest herd
average OF 447 pounds fat per cow
Warren Gray 5 herd of registered Jer-
seys took second place with an average
production Of 1851 pounds fat. His
COW, Ny Mowat," also made over 600
pounds fat al profit of $l0701.
The accomplishments of the year s
work were more cream and better
cream; more feed and more profit from
better COWS, and cooperative feed pur-

General Spy Bill
Will Be introduced
in House Tomorrow

Washington, April "A general spy
bill, more drastic even than the spy
bill that passed the senate last session
and failed in the house, was to be in
troduced in the house Immediately up
on its organization this afternoon by
Chairman Webb of the Judiciary com
mittec.
Chairman Flood of the foreign af-
fairs committee prepared much of the
bill. IT is a complete code for use in
time of war and covers 80 printed
pages. 1t apparently covers everything
that could be done against this country
by spies or unneutral citizens or aliens.
Penalties range from fine of $4,000
or imprisonment for two years or both,
to life Imprisonment.
The spy bill contains the two sections
subjected to bitter criticism last ses-
sion, They are the one prohibiting the
fostering of an expedition in this couu-
try against friendly nation and that
which carried thirty year or life
sentence for publication or dissemin
alton otherwise of statements which a
government censor might consider tend
ing to create dissatisfaction or lessen
the morale of soldiers or sailors.
