When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately l,S00,000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This ad-

In England some 100000 acres OF

A declining scale OF maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained IN
England, as follows: For September,

SIPS; November and December,

INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION
Supplies Food Material More Eeonon'-

Efficient Dairy Cow.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use of milk. The first is that
milk as purchased ON the market
usually supplies food material togeth-
err with the growth producing elements
more economically than either meat or
eggs. The second reason Is that the
dairy cow Is the most economical pro-
Queer of animal food. One great law
of food conservation IS TO turn incdihle
feeds into edible foods in the cheap
est possible manner. The dairy cow
will utilize coarse materials. inedible

AYRSHIRE is GOOD HUSTLER
Animal Is Quite Useful In Sections
Where There Is Much Rough
Land in Pasture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The Ayrsaire breed originated in the
county of Ayr, in southwestern Scot
land. In that region, which borders
on the Irish Sea, the surface is rolling
and has much rough woodland. Pas
lures, therefore, are somewhat sparse
and it is necessary for animals to
Craze large areas in order to obtain
sufficient feed.
1t is only within the last hundred
years that Ayrshires have had type
we'll enough established to be entitled
to the designation of breed.
This breed is not well known in
many sections of the United States
New England. New York and Penn
sylvania probably contain the largest
number of its representatives. There
is small distribution in the Middle
Atlantic States. the Pacific Northwest
and other scattered sections.
The color of this breed varies from
the medium red to very dark nahog-
any-brown and white. The cattle

$500 tons. Although the Italian silk
was exported TO neutral country, still
its ultimate destination was Germany,
where 1t was needed In the manufac-
ture of charges for artillery, airplane
wings and airship envelopes. The
trade continued until few weeks ago.
During the first II days of February
142 tons of raw silk. cotton and fax
were sent to Germany via Switzerland.
1t has been said that the silk waste
spinning companies were enabled to
trade with the enemy because nobody
suspected that silk waste could be
utilized by the Germans In war indus
tries, and in fact silk waste was ex-
ported TO Germany not only from Italy
but from France as well.

His Use for Eryant's Portrait.

Actors are reverent souls, and what
they do not know about the men that
have made our poetry and set down
for the rest of US the thoughts that
we had not the time to utter, is of lit
tie moment. It is tale of long ago
that the fair-wigged George Rignold,
who played Henry the Fifth in 1875,
and created a tremendous upheaval
among theater-goers all over the coun-
try, was seated one night in his dress
ing room when q caller appeared. A
portrait Of the patriarchal looking
William Cullen Bryant was tackled up
over the mirror.

An Ayrshire Which Won Worlds
Record for Milk Production.

have long horns which turn outward,
then forward, then upward. Quick,
brisk actions are characteristic of the
animals which seem always to have an
abundant store of energy, and to be
exceptionally alert Ayrshires have
highly nervous disposition, which is
useful both for production and self
support. Probably none of the other
dairy breeds can compare with the
Ayrshires in ability to obtain liveli-
hood on scant pastures. Their ability
as "rustlers" has made them very use
full in sections where there is much
rough land in pasture. Cows of this
breed average 1000 pounds In weight,
and bulls average about 1900.
Another point of which breeders
of the Ayrshire are very proud Is the
uniform, square, level udder with long
body attachment which Is common
among the cows.
Milk from Ayrshire cows contains
comparatively little color and has the
fat in uniformly small globules which
average smaller in size than for any
other breed. The milk stands shipping
well without churning, and in oher
respects 1t is we'll adapted to the mar
ket milk trade.
For Ayrshires the average of the
1888 cows that have completed year
ly records for advanced registry is
1855 pounds of milk testing 1896 per
cent of butterfat. amounting to 377.51
pounds Of fat. The ten highest milk
producers Of this breed range from
25,329 to 1878 pounds Of milk and
the average of these ten highest pro-
ducers is q, 53S.s pounds of milk. The
ten highest butterfat producers among
Ayrshires range from 1856 to TAIN
pounds. with an average, for these
ten, of 1854 pounds of butterfat.

Stgnor Baslini In an interview later
disclaimed all responsibility, but ad-
mitted that he was related by mar
rage to the chairman Of the board Of
directors Of the SILK Waste Spinning
company, which traded most exren-
sively with Germany.
Signor Bonacassa, member of par
Lament, was q prominent shareholder
and member of the board OF directors
of the Silk Waste Spinning company.
The Silk Waste Spinning company
was one Of the most flourishing con-
Germs in Italy and practically monopo-
lized the silk waste industry.
There is every reason to believe that
contraband with Germany could not
have been SO we'll organized if it had
not been labor of love or at least Of
gratitude for previous financial assist
ance given by Germany. Nearly every
German industrial concern in Italy had
an Italian name and often an Italian
partner. When war broke out Italo-
German industrial concerns were
transformed into apparently essential

HEART OF BRITISH EMPIRE
Coed Reasons Why Trafalgar Square,
In London, Has Been Given
That AppeIlation.

Trafalgar square has been called the
heart of the British empire, the most
truly English spot in London. 1t Is
not of Leicester square or of PIcca-
dilIy that London Tommy dreams, but
Of Trafalgar square, with the statue
of Nelson in the center. The statue
on the slender column is Englald's
bestowed hero. The figure of Nelson,
three times the natural size, is reared
145 feet in the air, with Landseer'S
four lions IF bronze at the base.
Many of the most important build
ings of the city are grouped around
the square The National gallery, with
its art collection, faces the Nelson col
umn. The collection was begun in
1924 and is one of the finest in the
world. In the upper part of the square
is the church of st. Martins-in-the-
Field, where Nell Gwyn lies buried.
This last bit of information Is apt to
interest the visitor more than the fact
that Bacon was christened at the
church's altar.
The column stands at the crossing OF
some of the most famous streets in
London. Charles the First walked
down Whitehall to his execution. The
Strand, branching from the square, is
the main artery of the city as we'll as
the favorite meeting place of the peo-
pie. Busting, noisy, crowded, fond

The principal shops and many of thb
hotels are on this street.

ROAD
BUILDING
FACTORS IN ROAD BUILDING
Necessity Emphasized in Giving Great
est Consideration to En
Local Conditions.

fPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Theory is simply the sign post that
points the way In road building
while judgment is the vehicle on which
the journey is dependent, says pub
lication on 1.-THE Design Of Public
Roads" by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The publication emphasizes the
necessity of giving the greatest con-
sideration to all local factors in road
construction. In order to furnish the
kind of roads that community wants
and TO furnish them with the least
possible drain on the public treasury,
the person who designs them must be
thoroughly familiar with local condi-
tons and must possess the judgment
necessary to weigh the Importance OF
all considerations. The publication
makes no attempt to state definite and
exact rules for designing roads to
suit every locality but takes up sep
arately the important features OF the
problem with a view to showing the
variations In current practice and the
influence of some special conditions
with regard to each feature.
In order to select the type of sur
face best adapted to the need of
particular road, it is necessary to con-
slider first, the class of traffic to
which the road will be subjected, and
eooopd to oomroro tho oct{r1otod r1ti-
mate cost of the different surface
types which would be capable OF sat
isfactorily caring for that particular
class Of traffic. The number Of roads
for which accurate traffic and eff
cheney records have been kept is said
to be insufficient to warrant definite
conclusions as to the best type for
any particular clnss of traffic, but the
following summary Is said to contain
about as definite information on this
point as can be drawn from available
records.
(a) Earth roads, when properly
maintained, are satisfactory in dry
weather for light volume Of all
kinds of highway traffic.
(b) Sand-clay roads are the same
as earth roads, except that the sur
facing material has been selected care
fully with a view to increasing the
stability Of the surface in both wet
and dry weather. They are satisfac-
tory for moderate traffic of horse
drawn vehicles and light traffic Of
automobiles. They seldom are salts
factory for even light traffic Of
heavy trucks unless the roadbed ma
terial is very stable.
(c) Gravel roads, when well built,
are satisfactory for heavy traffic OF

A Raise In Wages.

Everybody likes to have his wages
raised, and everybody feels q little
thrill Of pride when he is told he is
going to be paid more for his work.
Did you ever figure it out that you
were being paid wages when you go
to school, and can have them raised
every month If you want to? Sure.
You study, and that's work. You get
paid for your work in knowledge. Sup
pose this month you bring home a re-
port card which shows you have been
only fair in arithmetic. That's not
bad. But you want your wages raised.
So you work a little harder and next
month the report is good instead of
fair. You've had a salary increase.
That's the only way to look at it.
