MAN MERELY POOR SECOND
Swiftly as Aviators Travel Through
the Air, the Swallow Easily
Outf1ies Them.

Doubtless the swiftest passage over
a long distance ever made by man was
that Of the daring aviators who flew
from Newfoundland to Ireland. They
traversed a space of 1892 miles In
972 minutes. That was at the rate OF
nearly two miles minute. To be pre-
else, it was mile in 30.1S seconds.
For q much less distance slightly
higher speed was made by an army
Rirplane between Boston and New
York. The distance OF IT'S miles was
made in S3 minutes. That was mile
In 28.45 seconds, or more than 1875
feet a second
That is rapid travelling. 1t is not,
however the swiftiest aerial fight
known. A swallow could literally fly
round and round one OF those air
planes when the latter was at top
speed. Carefully conducted tests by
French scientist have demonstrated
that the speed OF swallow in full
flight sometimes goes as high as 29O
feet second, or at the rate of mile
Ia is seconds, while the ordinary fight
of swallow is 21O feet second or
considerably faster than the airplane.

Cambridge Cow Testing Association.

The monthly report for the Cam
bridge Cow Testing Association
shows gratifying results. It fully dem
onstrates the value of careful scoring
and feeding, and wedding the unde-
sirable cows. In this Association dur
ing the last thirty days 10 head pro-
duced above 45 lbs of butter fat, and
10 head above so lbs each.
The High Cow was a grade Hols-
TEN belonging to Perry Brothers. She
produced 1853 lbs. of milk testing 5.6
and giving 65.1 lbs of fat during the
thirty, days.
The High Herd was owned by E.
B. Hill. The Herd averaged 40.3 lbs
of butter fat in the month.
It may be of interest to the farmer
and dairyman to make note Of the
ration which this high herd was fed.
It is as follows. A grain mixture was
prepared consisting of 100 lbs OIL
Meal, 200 lbs bran, and 200 lbs Of
Barley. This was fed to the herd
at the rate of l lb of mixture for
every four lbs of milk produced. The
cost of the mixture is $52.40 per ton.
Enough roughage consisting Of ensil
age and clover hay was also furnish
ed to satisfy the ANIMALS.
