NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SERVE AND SAVE

Mrs. Wisconsin Housewife, it
is up to us to use several million
bushels OF potatoes this spring.
Shipping space is precious; po-
tatoes are bulky, wheat packs
well.
Potatoes are plentiful, wheat
is scarce; potatoes can, safely
and cheaply, take the place of
bread at least twice a day.
1t is our present duty to learn
to use potatoes in so many ways
that the family will eat them
with a relish, so that the chill
dren will tell the neighbours chill
dren how good potatoes are, SO
that our husbands will tell the
men down town about the new
and practical patriotism their
wives have discovered.
By doing this we will serve
in France, for every potato eaten
saves bread, and bread will
make the battle easier for the
men in France, and tighten the
burden Of those who serve there.

too, there is only one impartial way
of learning their worth, by Investigate
ing. One man will perform an i'm
mense amount of work on certain days
but will do it in an Indifferent manner; ;
one will turn out a small amount but
do it exceedingly well; another will
neither accomplish very much nor very
well, while some are continually on
the Job doing excellent work. That is
exactly the case with dairy cows, and
this condition makes the testing assO-
citation desirable.
For Profit or Loss?
In dairying, as in other businesses,
the constant use OF better methods is

industry receives its chief stimulus

the day after.
The matter Of gain or loss has been
discussed in Wisconsin for many
moons and it is now recognized that
men should know not only the amount
but as near as may be the cost OF
producing the milk and butterfat
yielded by each COW.
The best plan so far developed for
measuring the producing power" OF a
herd is the testing association; it ful-
nishes an accurate account on both
sides Of the ledger about the work OF
every occupant in the StanchiOns. 1t

gether; it recognizes the common IN
