90 JERSEY SALE 90
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. MARCH
II, 1920, AT 1890 Z. Nj.

Sixty head, strong in the blood of
Golden FERNS Noble, including "a
granddaughter of and II bred to one
of his best sons, Golden Ferns Noble
is the sire for which Broolwood
Farms were forced to pay $4,000 be-
fore they could take him away from
the island of Jersey. At the National
Dairy Show last fall Golden Ferns
Noble won first prize with his get, 5
cows in milk. You can't go wrong in
buying one of these registered fe-
males. How many are there when
looking back over the years they have
been feeding cattle who do not wish
they had bought a couple of registered
cows? How much better is your herd
now than it was Is years ago? Are
you going to give your boy the bene-
fit Of your experience by starting him
right and buying a couple of females
for him ? That the blood of Golden
Ferns Noble is selling can be proven
by the following. Thirty-eight de-
seendants of Golden Ferns Noble sold
during 1919 at an average price of
$3.50. One daughter sold for $4,000
and one granddaughter for $4,000,
-Four daughters sold for an average of
$500 and 20 granddaughter sold for
an average of SIG.
Facts to consider when buying a
COW. The leading producers at the
Westby, Viroqua, Bloomingdale, ESQ
fea, and Chaseburg ereameries have
Jerseys. The highest yearly cow in
Viroqua- Westby Test Association was
always Jersey. The highest produc-
ing herd for the year in same asso-
citation was always a Jersey herd. The
first prize dairy herd at the local Fair
competing against all breeds for the
last six years has been a Jersey herd,
Except one year no Jerseys shown
The Jersey has been bred for type and
production for the last 200 years.
In the Ohio test in 1917 conducted
by The Agricultural Department of the
University of Ohio, and published in
their official bulletin, the Jersey pro-
duced So pounds butterfat from 1000
pounds feed consumed and the near
est competitors produced only 80
pounds from 1000 pounds feed con-
sumed. In other words fourteen more
pounds were produced by the Jersey
from the same amount Of feed. At
the present price of butterfat (72c)
the fourteen more pounds from the
Jersey would amount TO $10.08. On
one ton of feed according to the Ohio
test, you would profit to the extent Of
$20.16 by feeding it to the Jersey in
stead of to the nearest competitor.
The Jersey wants you to use the milk
scales, Babcock test. paper and pen
Gil and decide for yourself.
The average test of Jersey milk is
537, the highest Of any breed The
total solids in Jersey milk is 14.70, the

POLITICAL pot is BOILING
CITY POLITICS COMMENCES TO
SIMMER-TW0 FOR MAYOR
Mayor Garrett and L. NJ. Roseland
Announce Themselves as Candi-
dates for That Office

The bright spring weather has
thawed out the political situation and
city politics commences to warm up
with the approach Of spring election.
This weeks Censor contains formal
announcement by W. T.. Garrett and
L. NJ. Roseland of their determination
to seek the office of mayor.
MIR. Garrett has served two terms
in that capacity, devoting the larger
part of his time and>energy to the du-
ties of the office in a forceful, efficient
way which entities him to the thanks
appeal to voters of the city.
Mr.. Roseland is a leading business
man, a Lutheran minister, young, ae-
tive, progressive, possessed of high
Christian character and ideals. Sure
ly the affairs of the city would not
suffer in the hands of such a man.
This and succeeding years will wit
ness the expenditure of large sums of
money on the part of the city. Viro-
qua must possess herself of those bet
terments which mark the modern city.
Paved streets, improved water SER
vice, sewerage, public auditorium and
gymnasium, municipal light plant
these are some of the problems which
bid for attention, and can only be set
tied in one way, the RIGHT way
Eventually we must have them all
They will cost money, lots of it, and
the Censor hopes that the next council
will be composed of young, vigorous,
representative business men who will
insure that the money will be expend-
ed efficiently and without waste.

NEW BEEKEEPING METHODS
Prevention of Foul Brood and Other
Bee Problems Will Be Taught

The-U University of Wisconsin through
the Extension Division of the College
of Agriculture will conduct a three
day bee school at the Court House, vi
roqua, March 8, 9, and 10.
Special attention will be given to
new and up-to-date methods of hand
hing of bees. The entire third day will
be given over to the discussions of bee
diseases and their control. During the
last 20 years the number of colonies
of bees in Wisconsin has decreased
from over 100. 600 TO less than $4,000.
These losses have in great part been
due to foul brood which destroys the
young bees in the combs. 1t is pos
sible to control these diseases by the
proper handling of bees and these diff
ferent manipulations win be taken up
in detail at the school. The school
viii be conducted by H. l.. McMurry,
cooperative field agent in Beekeeping,
u. S. Department of Agriculture CO
operating with the University of Wis
consin, and J. l. Hambleton, Depart
ment of Economic Entomology, Uni
versity of Wisconsin No tuition will
be charged for the school Complete
program is published on another page
