In the pail should be carefully stirred
and a small amount taken out and
put into a pint jar, which has the
cows name on it. In cool weather
this could be done at each milking for
three or four days, and then this jar
sent to the cream station, or to some
OF the high schools where they have
testers and tested. The percent Of
butter fat. together with the yield Of
milk, is tho real test of the cow. A
butter fat test alone means very lit
tie. because in a herd where a largo
number of cows are being MIXED, one
COW gave milk averaging 4.6 per cent
Of butter fat. and produced 425 pounds
OF butter fat in a year. Another COW
in the same herd gave milk average
ing 5.S per cent butter fat. but pro-
duced only 1877 pounds of butter fat
In q year. 1t will readily be seen that
the COW with the high percent Of but
ter fat was very far from being as
profitable a COW as the one with the
lower percent. In fact, the COW giving
the high percent Of butter fat, after
she is charged up with the amount Of
feed she consumed during the year.
left the owner in debt $11. while the
other COW produced a profit OF nearly
$50. It will he seen that the only
way to know which of these cows. was
giving the most profit was to havc.a
daily record of their milk yield, and
also a test Of the amount of butter
Tat there was in their milk.
The cost of producing the milk must
also be considered as we'll as the guam
tlty. In a test made of a herd for
seven weeks. where all the cows were
given the same kind Of feed, the cost

AFTER UNION n

Governor Frazier Is reported to be
in the east negotiating with labor
leaders for the purchase Of Bank of
North Dakota bonds with the funds
Of the great labor organizations. and
he is said to have proposed to the
union men that they deposit their
funds in the North Dakota state-own-
ed bank.
Without having any inside informa-
ton on the subject, we predict that
the labor organizations will prefer to
invest their funds where they have
some assurance of getting them back
when they want them.
Presumably Governor Frazier shares
the recently expressed opinion of his
official legal adviser, Mr.. Lemke, that
the Bank of North Dakota is not sub
ject to the banking laws OF the state,
and that, as a department Of the state
government, it canot be sued on any
claim against it. That is Mr.. Lemke's
contention. Presumably Mr.. Frazier
shares that opinion.

member OF the industrial commission
as in favor Of the present policy OF
refusing to honor the checks of de-
posters even when such checks are
made in order to settle bills for the
ordinary necessaries. and in payment
of salaries of persons employed BY
the various public bodies.
The situation is, then. that whoever
places his money in the Bank Of North
Dakota places it in an institution
whose managers declare it to be su-
pcrior to all laws which have ever
been enacted for the protection OF
those who have lawful claims to be
met, and whose managers have de.
clared and pursued the policy Of with

leaders, who have horse sense.

PRESIDENT AND GARNET.

Ever since his nomination it has
been apparent that II Senator Hard
ing were elected president the country
would not have a one man.. admin
%istration. Ever since his campaign
began Mr.. Harding has displayed a
predeliction for that form Of team
work which involves the placing Of
responsibility in capable hands and
recognition that responsibility SO
placed must be accompanied by the
exercise OF real individual authority.
From the standpoint OF political
expectancy this stood him in good
stead In the campaign. He knew
that the campaign vas a composite
work. and he refused to be diverted
from the issues which he thought it
for him to discuss in person by the
Introduction of irrelevant matter per-
tanning to details Of which. in the
very nature Of things. he could have
had. no personal knowledge. He had
accepted his share of the work. and
he attended to it faithfully. He &C.
cepted full responsibility for the
things for which he was responsible.
and when Information was sough,
about matters not under his imme-
diate direction, he referred inquirers
TO those who had such subjects in
charge.
After announcing hat the tender of
the position of secretary OF state had

Logging and selling liquor without q
license arc not new crimes. according
to documents recently unearthed in
the files of the, executive papers Of,
early Kentucky governors. In the
papers Of Gov. James Garrard, who
served two terms from 1895 to 1904.
is found the record Of at least one
case that bears all the earmarks Of
q modern day liquor law evasion.
In this case Andrew Barnett. whose
address is not given. was convicted OF
selling liquor without a license az
provided for in the liquor license
statute Of 1898. This statute stated
that anyone who operated a ''.tippling
house. or sold wine, beer, ale. whis-
key, etc, without a license should be
fined three pounds for the first Of
Tense and double that amount for the
second and that any citizen might
obtain from a justice of the peace .
warrant and seize all liquor found.
Liquor so seized was to be turned over
to the justice and sold at auction, the
proceeds to go for the benefit of, tho
poor.
Barnett was fined three pounds and
asked for remission Of the Re on the
ground that he obtained the whiskey
for another nan and that although
he operated the tavern and resold the
wl,iskey, being known as "landlord''
to many, he really was not the land
lord and should not be punished. No
record of any pardon in this cas- was
found in the file.

Ing Frederic Hof somewhere every

ways conducted into ono Of the inner
rooms. so that no more of the con-
v%ersation than the ordinary greetings
and farewells ever reached James
ears. The mere fact Of his coming 80
regularly to the Hofs convicted him
Of treachery. in James mind. What
proper business could an American
naval officer have in tho home Of two
German agents? The excuse that
Frederic Hon was a delightful and en-
tertaining friend was entirely too fim-
sy and unsatisfactory.
Nothing that she had overheard

dared to think about 1t. she found
herself almost believing. certainly at

went out early in the morning, not re-
turning until the early hours Of the
next morning. The old man. on the
contrary, always stayed at home until
eleven O'Clock. At hat hour his tele-
phone would ring. The telephone was

Invariably some brief message was
