Cow Test Experiment Proves Big
Success

The first all-Guernsey COW testing as
ISOLATION to be organized in this coun-
try has been formed by Waukesha
county Guernsey breeders. 1t has in
fact. almost completed its first years
work. Last July a second was formed
identically the same in character, and
there is now a waiting list for the
third. The members of these two as
sociations base their records strictly on
production, and in other ways en-
deavor to be as progressive as possible.

"Going without F" Maybe an all-wise
Providence will let this war go on I'M
til we learn to stop our wicked waste.
1t is one of our national sins.
However, I do not want to dwell on
the subject Of waste, for farmers as
class are not knowingly wasteful. We
do not spend lavishly on ourselves. We
do not desire righteousness in our
homes. We live simply. We work
hard. A garbage can with lots of choice
food dumped into it promiscuously
would be very rare sight on farm,
but have seen goodly pieces Of wheat
bread floating on a farm swill pail. DO
you recall the fact that food we can
eat ourselves, wheat, oats, corn and
the like, give us five times as much
nutrition when we eat it as it does
when we feed it to a pig and then eat
the pig? Right here is the fallacy OF
the well-intended but foolish advice
that every city family ought to keep
q dozen hens on their table scraps.
There should be no table scraps save
perhaps very thin potato parings and
the onion skins. How much cackllng
will old Biddy do on that?
No, there is very little Willful waste
on our farms, but there is waste OF
farm management In the aggregate
farm management makes colossal
waste, as Professor Otis and other deep
students Of the business Of farming
have shown us. For example: Wlscon-
sin has nearly 100000 COWS. Prob
ably our COWS average as well or bet
fer than the COWS of any other state
in the Union. But about one-haf mil
lion of them are bOarderS. what
grievous, what a needless tax on our
farmers!

pie, socialists, liberals and alk from
,eing ocluded into an enthusiastic
support of the government of Prince
Max, the new. chancellor.
There is no doubt here that he is the
creature of the kaiser, but as he came
into Office on a platform of peace, on
Mr.. Wilson's own terms. as the Ger
mans would have later boosted. it was
necessary for the President to meet
the move by cunning exposure OF the
trickery, an exposure not simply Tor
the benefit of the entente world. but for
the benefit of the masses in Germany
who might think that their leaders be-
ing engaged in making an nuiIol aDie
peace should be strongly supported.
President to Speak.
The President realizes full we'll that
many things may contribute to an
apathetic interest in the liberty loan
and other measures of war. He will
take occasion soon enough to address
the American people and remove mis-
understandings. His heart is bent on
a successful termination Of the war.
What he seeks is Identical with that
of Messrs. Lodge and Fess-a victory
for America. He selects a different
method.
The press of Great Britain and
France are in accord with Mr. Will
sons note. He is exceedingly anx-
ious, therefore, that dissension in
America should not be stimulated at
this time, for while it's Importance
may be understood in America, it
might be seized upon in Europe as
sign of weakness. 1t might be seized
upon by imperialists as renewed hope
for them in their effort to wear down
Americas idealism and fix up the old
fashioned kind of peace in which the
victor takes such spoils as he wants
without regard to the sores of injus-
tice that are bred.

FALL FEED FOR DAIRY COWS
II Not Well Fed at This Time Animals
Will Go Into Winter Season
Thin In Flesh.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The wise dairyman will feed liber-
ally during the fall months. Cows
which are not well fed at this time
will go into the winter thin in flesh and
with reduced milk flow. It will be ex-
pensive and largely in vain to attempt
to bring them back to normal flow af-
ter they 60 on winter rations.
1t will pay to begin feeding silage
and hay early. The extra feed given
at this time will not only bring good,
immediate returns, but affect the milk
flow for the whole year by putting the
cow in good condition to go through
the winter months. Cows which go
into the winter in good vitality and
with undiminished milk flow are the
ones which will make most economical
use of the hish-priced feeds given them
during that period. Keep up the milk
flow during the fall months by proper
feeding. It will pay.
Cold, uncomfortable cows will not
make economical use Of feed. Their
highly developed nervous systems are
very susceptible to sudden changes in
temperature. This should be borne in
mind in the fall when the first cold
rains and cold winds come. Protection
from these will prevent the reduction
in milk flow which they always cause.
Do not waste feed by letting your
COWS stand out in cold winds and rain.

increase over last years sales. and not
counting our daily output This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
this stock has vanished. At first we

Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month

of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and 1t may be some
time before this supply reaches the
tobbers. In the meantime, therefore,
It is necessary that we distribute, as

shelves, In order that 1t may get to
