had made probably of grade
cows under ordinary care.
Mr.. Mann's cows all freshen
in the fall. Last fall, that is the
fall of 1917, he had 90 fresh cows
which he sold milk and kept a
record of same. These 80 cows
were all HolesteinS and of a good
milking strain.
From these % cows Mr..
Mann's milk check for the first
three months after they freshen.
ed amounted to $1,000 a month.
Mr.. Mann was a member of the
Waukesha Co operative COW test,
ing association. And as a re.
cord of the amount of food con.
sumed and milk produced from
each COW of his heard, his larg.
est producer gave 1884 pounds
of milk during the year which
was sold for ,$274.7O. The COW
consumed S29.93 worth of
roughage and $32.67 worth of
bringing to her owner
Sl73.10 for the year above the
cost of grain and roughage.
Every dairyman that was seen
in Wauaesha county produced
winter milk having their COWS
freshen in the fail during Sept.
ember and October and turning
them dry during the hot dry
weather of July and August.

l have castrated both of m,
large male hogs-one, because
he became i'll and dangerous t,
handle and the other, because HI
was injured when standing nea'
a tree when lightning struck
making him deaf.
This was a great loss to me al
no small amount of money coult
have bought these hogs.
There has been a rumor ahoa'
to the effect that one of these
males was an inbred hog.
Such is not the fact.
There is no necessity for me
to keep or breed inbred hogs.
These two hogs are from two
unrelated herds.
Furthermore, | have sOws from
five different and unrelated
herds.
This being true, there is no
necessity for inbreeding.
Any person who will investi.
gate the papers put out with the
hogs sold will see that these pa.
pers show no inbreeding.
One of these big males, Chief
No. 72,2S5, was bred by
W. Fl. Charters, Jr., of Butler,
Mo-, and the other one, Giant
Sampson, No. 251,327, was bred
by Elmer f. Gardhouse of Ew
ing, Mo.
These two gentlemen are men
of the highest standing, with lie

China Association behind them.
| have the state certificates of
these two hogs, showing their
and they do emphati.
cally show that they are no rela.

are not inbred hogs.
Furthermore, it has been said
chat I had raised one of these

I want to state right here that
his is not a fact, as | have not
developed any males from my

Condensed Milk Factory


Mansfield has an opportunity
to secure a condensed milE
plant. The Shafer Condensed
Milk Co. of Kansas City which
now has three plants in opera
ton is looking for a loo alton for
another plant and with the view
OF locating the plant here, F.. ].
Peale arrivedFriday fromKansas
City to look over the field, Mans
field having been recommended
by the State Board of Agricul.
ture as being located in a good
dairy country. A meeting of
business men and farmers was
held at the commercial club
rooms Friday afternoon and i,
was the opinion that such an in.
dustry would prove a big thing
for Mansfield and vicinity. G. A.
Stephens, P. S. Williams and G.
w. Trip were appointed a com.
mittee to ascertain the number
of dairy cows in this vicinity and
other Information desired and
report their findings. Mr. eale
expressed himself as we'll pleas.
cd with Mansfield and the pros,
poets here, and with the water
to be had here, water being a
necessary factor in such a plant.
An outline, showing a conden
sed milk plant, with the routes
leading into it from the various
places around Mansfield. is the
very clever work of Ward 3.
Hitchcock.
Mr.. Pealc stated that they de
sired at least 1900 dairy COWS
within a radius of fifteen miles
of the factory, and we under
stand that there are probably
1000 dairy cows within that-dis.
lance from Mansfield. The com.
pany also has 4 plan to furnish
additional cows to be paid for

factory,

MEN IN
 ITALIAN GUARD MOS MOST UNHAPPY

ROME, May ., - Correspondence of The Associated Press :-- Among the most unhappy men in Italy are said to be sixty soldiers of the King s Guard who are not permitted to go to the front and fight like their brothers. The reason for this restriction IS that these sixty men could probably not be replaced if killed, injured, or taken prisoners. They are chosen with the utmost care not only as regards theh habits and training but their height the minimum of which Is six feet.
 They begin where other stop grow ing, according to a popular saying. Many of them are even seven feet Tn height. They are chosen from the car abiniei or military police and must have absolutely unstained records. Each newly enrolled man, if he accepts the appointment must agree to re- main for term of five years, in the guards, after which he may or may not reenliSt. During that period, also, he may not marry.
 The guards and their horses are quartered inside the ground of the Royal palace on Quilinal Hill. The Guard does sentinel duty inside these grounds when King Victor Emmanuel is in Rome, and also accompany him on state occasions, as on that of March II, 1912, when the King was going along the Corso to visit the tomb of his father in the Patheon, the anarchist d Alba fired twice and wounded Captain Lang of the Guards instead of the King.
 Since the war began, although the King lives at the front and undergoes all it's dangers, members of the Guard are to be seen now and then walking through the street of Rome, attracting attention and admiration because of their immense figures and shining helmets, but for all that, jealous of the stained and bespattered gray green uniforms of soldiers on leave from the front trenches.

Leslie E. Hubbard, attorney gen.
eral, spent several days in the

up estates that have not been re.

Under the direction of Leslie

important work in the state SER
vice, Collection are running close
to a half million dollars annually.
This money goes into the general
fund to apply on payment of op-
perating expenses Of the state,
and; consequently, reduces the
general taxas just SO much.
For instance, if Attorney Gen.
eral Hubbard was not collecting
nearly a half million dollars an.
