with the discovery and application OF
every other powerful force or instru-
ment.
Abolish the "Menace" Not the Auto.
1t was many years after the rail-
roads spread over the United States
and were used so popularity, before we
discovered that grade crossings should
be abolished and the railroad tracks
elevated at street crossings, especially
in the big cities. 10 was many years
before we learned that wooden cars
were a menace TO travellers and that
the loss Of life in railroad accidents
could be greatly reduced by the use
OF steel cars. It wasn't until thousands
Of working men and women had been
killed and injured that we discovered
that guards and projections could be
put on machinery that would protect
the workers and at the same time not
interfere in the least with The Opera-
tion Of the machinery. Electricity is
the greatest physical force in the
world today, and without il our so
cial and industrial civilization would
go back nifty years. But electricity
caused the death Of thousands Of cleo
| tricians and engineers and others be-
/ fore the world learned how TO handle
and control his mysterious force.
$50 you see that just as there is
good and bad in railroading, In the
use OF machinery and electricity so
there is good and bad in the auto
mobile. We couldn't get along today
without the railroad. without. machin-
cry or without electricity, and the last
few years have shown that we could
not get along without tho automobile
"The iOOOO0,OOO automobiles in the
/ United States today play a big ano
important part in business and give
pleasure TO hundreds OF thousands ol
people. But the automobile and auto

ORDINARY COW
PROVES WONDER
Produced 34S Pounds of
Milk in Seven-day Test
Recently
FED ON GRASS, GOT
NO SPECIAL CARE

LANGLEY. B. c., Aug 2s.-Iohn
Pranghorsts cow is a plain garden
variety Of scrub She is a founding
Of forgotten pastures. Her father and
mother are unknown. A homely beast
with a crumpled horn and a moon
eye. this hopeless plebeian is no long
er young.
Scrub COWS have no social standing
in British. Columbia. From the sea-
coast meadows Of the lower Fraser
TO the agricultural valleys along the
Grand. Trunk Pacific Railway the farm,
ers lake pride in their pure hred
dairy herds. The milking champion
OF last year was a British ColuInnla
Holstein But with all this blue
bIooded rivalry Pranghorsts crum-
pled horn scrub has made a milking
record that has won a place for her
in the dairy history Of the province.
In a seven day test recently she
nroduced 3iS pounds of milk contain
ing as per cent Of butter fat. That
Is Weld Of which a daughter Of
Holstein or Jersey royalty might well
be proud. II this seven day average
were maintained throughout the year
il would mean an annual yield OF Do
o9O pounds. The worlds record Is
33 1853 pounds, and the cow that made
il was kept on the most nutritious
scientific diet and nursed and tended
with such delicate attention as might
be bestowed upon a princess.
But pranghorsts scrub had no care
at all. She was fed on no shmulat-
ing scientific diet. She ate only grass
and hustled for the herbage in a
forty acre field. No barn sheltered
her at night. on her bed Of pasture
turf she chewed her cud under the
stars. Under these rough conditions
the old COW has made a record OF
milk on grass that has rarely, If ever,
been equalled and has proved that
something OF old Roman si''~diness
still remains in plebeian blood.
