MINERAL MATTER AND MILK.

Experiments conducted by the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
with dairy cows are showing an i'm
portant relation between milk secre-

Feeding compounds of phosphorus
and calcium have resulted in decid-

COWS LEAD ALL FARM ANIMALS

The expansion which has been TAX
ing place steadily in the dairy indus
try of this country during the last
seven years has at last put milk cows
at the head of the list of animals so
far as value is concerned. This is
shown by a recent report by the Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates. The value of
these animals now exceeds that of
horses and cattle than milk cows, the
two classes formerly standing higher
on the list. On January 1 of this
year there were approximately 23,-
90 milk cows in this country, an
increase of 272,000 head, or IL per
cent as compared with year ago.
Their aggregate value is placed at ST.
021 $4,000.
Ten years ago the average milk COW
was worth $500, compared with
$500 a year ago and $85.13 jan
uary 1, 1920. 1t is generally recog-
nized that the quality of the milk
cow of this country is improving at
the same time that their number is
increasing.
The class of cattle, consisting of
calves, steers, bulls and cows, not kept
for milk production and designated as
"other CATTLE" shows a decrease of
10000 head, or 1.6 per cent. Ten
years ago the average value per head
of animals in this class was S19.O7,
year ago it was $44.22, and S43.l4 A
this year. The number of "other cat
tie" in the country at the present
their value $1,914,575,O0O.

Large Cows Excel in Yield.
Cow testing records based on 49,
532 dairy cows from 110 cow-testing
associations are being analyzed by
government specialists. The tabula-
tions have brought out a number of
interesting relations between milk
production, butterfat test, butterfat
production, and income over cost of
feed. The larger cows excelled the
medium and small cows in production
of both milk and butterfat.
The average annual milk produc-
ton of all the animals was 5,936
pounds per cow, and the average but
terfat production 246 pounds. These
figures are considerably larger than
the average for the United States, in
dicating that dairymen who are men,
bers of cow-testing associations either
dispose of their poorest cows or else
make them more profitable by better
feeding and handling.

ROME, Mar. 16-Italian women
have been barred from SO positions
mostly in state employ by an official
announcement just issued by the gov
ernment. This order excludes women
from appointment to the diplomatic

No reason is given for the declara-

of Italian women for public office
Professor Teresa Labriola, daughter
of the distinguished professor of
Sociology, has lately obtained the
right to practice law before the courts

Everybody in Congress wants to do

to take action which might result in

The stern fact which faces Con-

so enormous as to require the contin-
