Cow Testing & Makes Good. :,

That coW-testing associations are
successful is shown by the fact that
three associations have been organ
lied by members Of the county farm
bureau in Lake County, ILL.,, during
the past 1 s months. At present these
three associations have 1880 cows on
test. There are II similar organiza-
tions in Illinois and 353 in the United
States. The report of the tester Of
Association No. 2 for the period end
ing November 1, 1913, shows that "a

that of the 495 cows on test. 260

were sold for beef because they were
not profitable. The average produc-
ton per COW of the entire association
was 747s pounds st1ff 1ff milk and 1924
pounds of butter fat. The average
test was 3.78 per cent. The market
value Of milk per COW was 5000,
value of feed $113, leaving a net re-

CHAPTER v.


Having thus, in a word, revealed
his ambition for a career above
courts, marts and polling booths,
George breathed more deeply than
usual, and, turning his face from
the lovely companion whom he mad
just made his confidant, gazed out at
the dancers with an expression in
which there was both sternness and a
contempt for the squalid lives of the
unyachted Midlanders before him.
However, among them he marked his
mother, and his somber grandeur re-
Taxed momentarily; more genial
light came into his eyes.
Isabel was dancing with the queer
looking duck; and it was to be noted
that the lively gentleman's gait was
more sedate than 1t had been with
! Miss Fanny Minafer, but not less dex-
ferrous and authoritative. He saw
George and the beautiful Lucy on the
stairway and nodded to them. George
waved his hand vaguely he had

uneasiness and resentment which had
tro1eled him downstairs.
How lovely your mother ~" Lucy
said.
II think she is" he agreed gently.
"She's the gracefulest woman in that
ballroom. How wonderfully they dance
togetherp
''Who?"
"Your mother and-and the queer
looking duck" said Lucy. I'm going
to dance with him pretty soon."
Il don't care-so long as you don't
give him one of the numbers that
belong to me-"
''TIi Ytry to remember" she said,
and Glbughtfully lifted to her face
the bouquet. of violets and lilies,

approval.
