Holstein cattle are of black and
white color. They are docile end even
tempered. not good "rustlers," and do
best when plenty Of feed Is available.
Holstein cows average about 1880
pounds and bulls 1900 pounds In
weight. The average of milk produc-
ton is high, but the percentage of but
terfat is comparatively low.
Among Holsteins, 5000 cows that
had completed a yearly record for ad-
vanced registry averaged 14,622.7
pounds of milk, testing 1924 per cent
butterfat, amounting to 5OO.7 pounds
Of sat. The ten highest producers Of
this breed averaged from 81, 246.9 to
28,E6.4 pounds Of milk, an average,
for these ten of 29,S9S.4 pounds of
milk. The ten highest Holstein but
terfat producers averaged from
1,205.O9 to 1,O172S pounds, an aver
age, for these ten, of 1,09O.89 pounds
of butterfat.

DAIRY
FACTS
SLAUGHTER OF DAIRY CATTLE
Because Of Lack Of Feed in Europe
Many Animals Have Been Killed
Milk Supply Decreased.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Although dairy cattle are economical
users of feedstuffs and although they
will convert coarse, inedible material
into a human food, still they must
have some grain for maximum produc-
ton. When animals convert feeds,
such as grain, that can be used direct
by human beings, they usually do so
at loss Of human food. In times or
extreme food shortage, therefore, ami
mails are killed for human food and
the grain used directly. In some OF
the continental countries this policy
has been followed because Of the lack
OF feeds and the need of meat. Most
of the dairy countries of Europe have
depended upon imports for large
part Of the grains or concentrates for
dairy cattle. This supply has been
largely cut off, with the result that In
some countries there has been tend
ency to decrease the number or AMI
mails. Because of these facts, millions
of dairy cattle have been slaughtered
in Europe since the war began. the
lack of milk that has resulted has en-
tailed great suffering in some Sec
lions. especially among children. 1t
is important, therefore, that such
situation he prevented in this country
so far as possible. IT, by economical
feeding and the utilization OF feeds
that are not necessary for humans,
the dairymen of the country could con-
serve their herds until after the war,
they would render great service TO
humanity With the great number or
animals killed in Europe and the in
crease in the rate Of slaughter as the
war continues, the food shortage be-
comes more serious. When the strug-
gle is over it will be impossible to meet
ut once the demand for milk in the
countries where the greatest number
Of cattle have been killed.
Efforts will he made. of course, TO
increase the number of dairy cattle,
hut this requires time-several years,
in fact. The supply Of grain, on the
other hand. can be increased more rap
idly, but there will probably be de-
mand upon us for products from the
dairy, as well as for foundations for
herds, provided we keep our supply OF
good animals. This should be cOnsid-
cred another reason for increasing, or
at least maintaining, the herds Of dairy
cattle in this country.

MUCH SKIM MILK Is SAVED
Large Quantities Formerly Thrown
Into Sewer Now Made Into

One creamery in the state Of New

pounds OF skim milk, much OF which
formerly was run into the sewer, and
several creameries now make their en-

Grafton of the Overman bill and was
interrupted by Congressman Hicks OF
Few York, who inquired of the major
ity leader IL he was as optimistic as
week or two previous, when he said
congress ought to adjourn by July l.
'If what l saw In New York paper
today is true" replied Kitchin, Saying
that we shall have TO bring in a new
revenue bill, we shall probably get
away fom here in time to cast vote.
If we do not live too far away"
"Does the New York paper control
The situation?" asked Congressman
Garner of Texas.
NO" replied Kitchin; "the gentle
man must have been sleeping when l
made my remark, for / said If 1t Is
true"
HAS the administration said any
thing to the chairman of the commit
tee on ways and means about rev.
enue bill this session." continued Gar
ner.
To Kitchln's reply of mo" Garner
suggested that ii was not likely that
the need of revenue bill would be
told to newspaper before informa-
ton was conveyed to the man who
would prepare the bill, and Kitchln re-
piled: II have known some admins
trations of late to confer with news
paper men and tell them what ought
to be done long before any member of
congress was told"

Sometimes Washington correspond
ents wonder what the leading lights
on the metropolitan papers think OF
themselves and their influence. Take
for instance the recent changes of com
mittee assignments in the senate. Very
vigorous assaults were made on Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska on account
of his past record I'm relation to the
war in Europe, principally before the
United States entered the war. When
Senator Stone died and II was sug-
gested that Senator Hitchcock would
be made chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, several prominent
papers broke out with vigorous de-
mands that Hitchcock should not be
the successor of Stone.
Well. the time came to fill the vacan-
cy, and Senator Hitchcock's name was
proposed as chairman of the committee
on foreign relations. and he was elect
ed I'm the senate without a dissenting
voice. The whole transaction was by
unanimous consent. Naturally the pa
pers that had been making these de-
mands could not have been very much
impressed with the influence they
welded.

Debating the aircraft service be-
tween Washington and New York, Sen
atOr Mcclellan of Tennessee decried
the idea of opposing anything be-
cause 1t was new or experimental. He
then told story about Cannes toy."
II seems that man named Cannes,
captain of the famous Chickasaw
Guards of Memphis, which was one
Of the crack militia companies of the
country, was Il sort Of an inventor and
many years ago, long before the Bell
Telephone came into existence, he
sought permission from the city coun-
ell for license to string on the street
wires over which people could talk to
one another. Finally some member Of
the council in iocular manner re-
marked. Lets license Cannes toy"
and the ordinance went through.
Cannes did not follow up his project
and did not seek To patent his tele-
phone idea. but years afterward In n
law suit II developed that the only IL
cense to use wires for telephone pur-
poses in the city of Memphis was that
in the grant TO Cannes, for tele-
phone device long in advance of the
actual Bell invention.

Washington authorities have learned
that the people of the country are
more interested i'm men who have
been mt the front, who have seen
service, and who have earned dis
tinction i'm fighting the Germans, than
they are i'm anything else connected
with the war. Pershngs men who
have been at the front and returned
get more attention than any other
kind of men. in or out of uniform. The
sO-called blue Devils" of the French
army received great deal of atten-
ton, not only i'm Washington but else
where.
The Red Cross, which under Its
present new management is doing so
much effective work, has been quick
to realize the value of men who have
actually done things. Therefore the
Red Cross takes 200 wounded French,
British, Canadian, and Australian men
who have been at the front and makes
them leaders in the movement to raise
the necessary money to carry on the
Red Cross work.
1t all goes to show that the actual
participation in the war by United
States forces is the one thing that has
aroused intense interest. That was
shown when our navy first went over.
and II more information were given
out about what our navy is doing,
there would be more real interest
manifested among our people in the
great war. 1t all goes to show that the
war must be brought home to people
before they become vitality interested
In II.

 Long Voyage to Attack
 Naples in Southern Italy

Rome. Monday, March 1.-The Aus: trian aviators who made the raid on Naples set forth from Cattaro. On their return voyage they passed near Rome. but dropped no bombs. The residents of Rome were instructed to remain within doors with all lights out. At the Vatican the opinion was expressed that Rome would never be bombarded, owing to. the presenceof the pope. The lighting plant at the Vatican remained in operation and the lights in the popes apartment were not cut off. although it was agreed later that in the event of future raids the curernt would be stopped.
 Cattaro, Dalmatian port is about $50 miles from Naples. so that the Austrian raiders taking round about course on the way home and flying several hun dred miles over Italian territory, made a journey of considerably more than 7UO miles. one of the longest flights reported in connection with the war A Napies dispatch last week said the raid was carried out by a dirigible balloon. which dropped bombs at random over the city. Sixteen persons were killed and 10 were wounded.
