from the udder down through the teat
also tends to draw blood from the veins
of the udder down into the smaller
veins of the teat. 1t is necessary that
something shall keep massaging this
blood back from the teat, so that it will
continue in circulation. The comfort

SIZE OF DAIRYMAN'S INCOME
Noticeable Increase Where Purebred
Bulls Are Observation-Disclosures Do
Not Pay for Keep.

Figures recently compiled by the
University of Illinois seem to show
that there is a definite relation be-
tween a good bull and the size of the
dairyman's income.
On 124 dairy farms where purebred
bulls were kept at the head Of the
dairy herd, the average farm income
was $1,1O2 after deducting the taxes,
interest on investment, etc.
On 466 dairy farms where a grade
bull stood at the head of the herd the
farm income was found to be S734 per
year, and on SO farms where scrub
bulls were used the farm income was
-$243, or failed by $243 to pay inter-
est on the investment, to say nothing
about pay fAc the owners time.

there are several essential points to

The cow should have great stomach

MOLINE SLEEPS;
RECORDS CLEAR
Either Capture of Gang or Thieves
Lying Low Is Cause OF Quiet
ness in City.

Moline slept peacefully last night,
so did the criminals who have been
perpe rating holdups, robberies,
burglaries and safe-cracking jobs
in this vicinity qIately.
The real reason for the quietness
in the city last night is due to two
things, first, perhaps, because the
leaders of the gangs that are caus-
ing the city's trouble are now in
the county jail, or because other
thiefs and robbers are lying low
or have left the city. Whatever the
reason may be, Moline police rec
ords are clear this morning Not
even rumOrs of holdups and rob
berries are current today.
Moline officials still maintain the
attitude that it is not fair TO con-
denim all paroIed men. because
some cannot be left on their honor
They do, however. believe that each
prisoner paroIed here should be re-
turned following any violation of
parOled regulations

Mayor Trevor took the same
stand, but added that if the people
wanted to put in a protest, he would
do so. Il believe in giving a man
another chance What evidence
have you got that these crimes, are
being done by paroled men?" he
continued.
A foreman in one of the Moline
factories declared that they are all
hard workers and are trying to
make good. while a parole agent
remarked that they have left ter
Tible place and are not anxious to
go back.
