TO test their own cows may now have

by Joining a cOw-testing association
AS ordinarily conducted, a cow.tnsting
association is an organization of abont
26 dairy farmers who co-oper9tivelv
employ a man to test their cows for
economical production. The tester
not only weighs the milk and the feed
but he tests the milk for butterfat and
assists the farmers in feeding their
COWS according to production.
Before the formation of a cow.testing
association in a certain dairy district
few farmers fed grain to their drv
cows, and none fed a balanced ration
to any of their cows; prepared feeds
of unknown merit were largely used:
and some farmers dished up the grain
with scoop shovel and fed all their
cows alike, regardless of production.
Through the active cooperation Of
all the members of the association
those conditions were rapidly changed.
Better feeding of dry cows increased
the milk flow during the next lactaton
period; the use of a well-balanced ra-
ton brought about more economical
feeding, and abandoning the SCOOP
shovel method and feeding concentrates
according to production greatly re-
duced the cost of feed. However, the
elimination of low producers that did
not respond to better feed and care eff
fected the greatest saving of all. Iu
some herds these changes more than
doubled the income over cost of feed.
The dairymen belonging to that assO.
citation demonstrated that it pays to
keep good cows and to feed them well.
The cow-testing association records
clearly show that the most practical,
far-reaching, and vitality important
facts connected with the economical
production of milk may be grouped log
ically under these three heads: Selec'
ton. breeding, feeding. Careful and in
telligent feeding, care, and manage
ment lift the dairy business to a GER
tain level, but the highest level can
be reached only when to these are add
ed careful selection and intelligent
breeding.

under ground. The beetles appear in
early spring and continue until the
cold weather of September or October,
according to locality. One female can
produce 1900 and 1900 eggs. The
possible progeny of two or three
0roods is enormous. In 1916 it is esti-
mated that at least 90 per cent OF the
potato crop suffered from its rayages.
During 1917, for no reason which can
be assigned, the insect was conspicu-
Gus by it's absence, but in another year
or two it may be as troublesome as
ever. 1t is certain to appear locally
in numbers.
The best remedies are arsenicals,
and of these arsenate of lead is in
many respects preferable to paris
green, which it is rapidly replacing.
The high price of all copper COM
pounds incident to the war has result
ed in an increase in the price of paris
green, while lead arsenate. although it
also has increased in price, is some
what cheaper.
Use of Poisons.
Lead arSenate does not kill as
quickly as paris green, but insects
cease feeding as soon as they receive
a poisonous dose. 1t is sold in both
powdered form and paste form, and is
used at the rate of two pounds of pow
der to so gallons of water, or bordeaux
mixture, or in paste at double this
strength. In small gardens two-thirds
of an ounce or one level teaspooniul to
a gallon of water is in the same pro-
portion. For the paste form 1 1-3
ounces or three level teaspoonfuls are
used to p gallon of water.
For the proper application of this
spray a sprayer of the best type aid
approved nozZles should be employed.
A single application when the slugs
first appear will kill most of them, but
a second or third dose may sometimes
be required. Later on other broods
must be treated in the same manner.
Other remedies, such as Earring
beetles and "slugs" early in the season
by brushing them from the plants into
large shallow milk pans containing q
Thin scum of kerosene, and hand-pick-
ing, are of value early in the season,
but are too laborious for large acre

The State of WestsyIvania.

The province and government Of

the settlers in the southwest of Penn

the creation of a new state. 1t Origi-
mated in connection with the troubles
between Virginia and Pennsylvania,
and the scheme was brought forward
early in July, 1776. A description of
the proposed government defines the
bounds as beginning at the eastern
branch of the Ohio opposite the mouth
of the SciotO and running thence in a
direct line to the OwasiOto pass, thence
to the top of the Allegheny mountains,
thence with the top of the said mount
tains to the northern limits of the pur-
chase made from the Indians in 176S at
the treaty of Fort Stanwix, thence
with the said limits to the Allegheny or
Ohio river and then down the said
river as purchased from the said In
dians at the aforesaid treaty of Fort
Stanwix to the beginning" A call for
convention to organize the govern
ment was issued, but memorial OF
the Virginia committee of West Au-
gusta county to the lower house OF as
sembly led to the abandonment OF the
plan.-Philadelphi Press.
