WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24.- The United States department of az riculture will participate in the Ma tional Dairy show at Chicago, Octo- Der to 12, not only to honor the dairy COW, but also to further the principles of good dairying, and to transmit to the thousands of dairy men aud farmers expected to assem- ble there the most recent results of COW handling, milk producing and dairy management investigations of the dairy division of the bureau of animal industry. Other branches oi the department also will show their work for the dairy industry.
 S2e of the most interesting of the dairy division exhibits will show the exact amount and kinds of food re- quired to keep COW for one year. A farm scene will show hay stack and a fodder rick, containing the nec- essary amounts of dry forage; a silG 5 feet in diameter and Il feet high, which will hold silage necessary for the COW, and a large pile of ear corn and the mill feed in sacks which the COW will eat during the 12 months. Furthermore, a part of the area will be sodded to illustrate the amount of pasturage necessary to maintain the COW. A huge milk bottle AZ feet wide and feet high, with a ca pacity of 5000 pounds of milk, will be used to illustrate the cows produc- tion. To complete the picture a COW and calf of the type which would consume the feed and convert it into the amount of milk exhibited, will be on hand The amounts of feed and the milk supplied are actual averages of results obtained by the dairy division from practical tests with dairy farmers in northern Indi- ana. A small milk house, whereIn will be demonstrated the proper methods of cooling milk, is also part of this feature.
 Creamery Products.
 An extremely interesting and valu- able exhibit from an educational standpoint will be that of the prod ucts of the Grove City, Pennsylvania, creamery, which form the connecting link between the laboratory and the commercial creamery, These prod ucts are all made by processes worked out in the dairy division la boratories, and applied to actual fac. tory conditions. Chief among them are various American made cheeses of foreign type, such as Swiss, Cam embert, Roquefort and RicottN. Ex- hibits of butter packed for shipment to the tropics, cottage cheese, the manufacture of casein for commercial purposes, condensed skim milk in bulk, and also a creamery laboratory in operation, demonstrating the ac- tual tests of butter, milk, and cream used in commercial concerns also will be shown.
 A special bocEh will circulate infor- nation about the Better Sires-Bet- ter Stock" drive which the United States department of agriculture will conduct in co-oueration with the state agricultural colleges and other agen- cies, beginning October 1. The plan is to provide an official emblem, a sort of certificate, to each owner of i cattle, horses and asses, hogs, sheep, goats or poultry, who uses only pure bred sires, no matter if he or she ! possess only one animal of the classes of domestic stock specified. IL is an ticipated that the competitive spirit will be developed among farmers throughout the country to obtain Better Sires" emblem and in this way the scrub and mongrel stocks will be driven farther and farther into discard.
 The dominant breeds of live stock in each county are to be determined
