MORE MISSOURI COWS
ON THE HONOR ROLL

From eleven to forty-seven cows!
That indicates how the honor roll of
Missouri purebred COWS has grown in
the last six months. In October
there were eleven cows that in the
two days while on the official test
produced over three pounds of fat
During February the same number of
cows produced over four pounds of
fat, and forty-Seven cows owned by
sixteen different breeders produced
over three pounds.
Viola's Golden Gypsy, a Jersey
owned by Longview Farm, again heads
the list with production, during two
days, of 519 pounds of fat from 95.3
pounds of milk. Raleigh's Graceful
Queen, owned by C. S. Mccoy of Per-
Ty, comes second with 4.84 pounds Of
fat from 1858 pounds Of milk. Third
is La Grass Choice Maid owned by
S. R. Head of Hannibal, with 4.80
pounds of fat and 74,4 pounds of
milk.
The high Holstein COW, June En-
press Pontiac, owned by c. E. Dri-
yer of Crescent, produced 3.57 pounds
of fat and 1877 pounds of milk. Inka
Beauty Barber, barn mate, comes
next with $40 pounds of fat from
ia pounds of milk.
Each month this fall and winter has
seen an increase in the number of
cows on test and in the Honor Roll.
This month, with toal of 233 cows
on test in the herds of thirty-five
Missouri breeders, stands out as the
best month. Breeders of purebred
cattle can get the attention of the
great dairy cattle market Missouri
has in the Southwest, by demonstrat-
ing through official tests the excel
lent qualities of our dairy cows. In
stead of thirty-ive breeders there
should be at least twice as many do
ing this work. The Dairy Depart
ment of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture sends out men
to conduct these tests and charges the
breeder only the actual cost Of the
work. An excellent illustration of
the value of Registry of Merit work
in herd was shown in recent dis
persal sale The six Register of Mer-
it cows sold for $2445, or an average

of $4O7.50. 1t also raised the prices
of the young stock out of tested
dams. Cows without records could
not have sold within one to two hun
bred dollars of what these brought. 1t
will only take postcard addressed
to the Dairy Department, Columbia,
| Mo-, to bring you information as to
the cost and method of beginning this
work.
From the monthly showing made by
large number of cows on yearly
test, at least few State records will
be changed. The following gives an
indication of what a few cows are do
ing.
Peter Cologne & Sons, Marshfeld,
have a number Of Guernseys which
are doing fine. Fern Lily of Fairview,
in 1872 days has produced 5218.9
pounds of milk and 242.71 pounds of
fat. Mary Ann of Fairview, 2232.7
pounds of milk and 1925 pounds Of
fat in 80 days, while Lucy of Fair
view in 1874 days has 1854 pounds of
fat to her credit. l.. S. Meyer,
Springfield, another Guernsey breeder,
has Duchess of Oakwood's Pride,
which has produced 1859 pounds of
milk and 371.58 pounds of fat in 1929
days. Princess Louise of lakewood in
303 days has produced 5294.1 pounds
of milk and 257.7l pounds of fat.
Pauline Clyde Alban I'd, Holstein
owned by C. E. Driver, of Crescent, in
1874 days has produced 6821.1 pounds
of milk and 244.42 pounds of fat.
Lewismonte Traer of DeKol has 6213.-
pound of milk and 1914 pounds of
fat to her credit in 1874 days.
During the month number Of ex-
cellent seven-day Holstein records
were completed. Clifden Palmer Yer
ita's Pontiac, senior three-year old
owned by John F. Bluhm of Smith
town, broke the State milk record
for her class and goes into second
place in production of fat. Cows of
this capacity deserve a years record.
In seven days she produced 559.6
pounds of milk and 21.81 pounds of
fat or 2714 pounds of butter. This
breaks the State milk record for cows
under three years Of age, as well as
placing her fourth in class in fat pro-
duction.

One often hears the expression, "My
child caught severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscep-
tible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered, as
there is hundred times more dan
ger of his taking diphtheria when he
has cold. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the danger
of diphtheria or any other garm dis
ease being contracted. Obtainable

The Meanings OF CHS Names
LUCRETLA

THOUGH Lucretia was the name
borne By the notorious daughter
OF the Borgis- il IS one OF the
quaintest and most Old-fashloued Of
names IN this country. It is a far
CRY from ancient Rome to modern
New England, but the name has com
pleted the transition with very Few
changes 70 mark the successive
stages OF its evolution.
Lnere are Two Lneorles among cry
moloEists IN regard TO the original
source OF Lucretia- Some contend
that it comes from the Latin word
Lucrum, meaning gain" and for
that reason. Lucretia is said TO sig
nifty gain On the other hand, there
Sc much evidence to prove that its
real source was in the Latin word
for Hight lux Many feminine names
have been derived from this root and
the same word has supplied sur
names without number.
It is believed. therefore, that the
noted old gems Lucretus from which
Lucretia IS directly descended. was
