Mayor Thomas M. Russell retires
from Office as one of the city's most
popuiart officials His term Of office

through which any official has passed
In the history of the city. The great
World War tore things in Maysville so
that cohditions were quite trying and
yet thb administration piloted the
municipal ship safely through to the
wars conclusion. Mayor Russell has
been Iberal and yet conservative and
1t can be truthfully said that his ad-
ministtation of civic affairs has been
q SUCCESSFUL one despite serious hand.

ASSOCIATION COW GIVES MOST
MILK

Cow testing association work under
state and government direction dates
back to 1906 when the first association
was formed in the United States. In
1920 the number of associations had in
creased to 46S. Wisconsin leads in this
work, with Pennsylvania second, I'LL
nois third, New York fourth, Ohio
fifth and Minnesota sixth.
"The average cow,' says E. A. Han
son of University Farm, in charge Of
cow testing work in Minnesota, els
said to produce 1000 pounds Of milk,
or 100 pounds of butterfat, annually,
while 10000 COW testing association re-
cords in the United States show that
the average association cow produces
5000 pounds Of milk, or 246 poundsaof
butterfat, each year.

WHEN TO CUT AND HULL SEED
GLOVER

CLOVER 4
Greater care in the harvesting and
storage Of clover seed is found to be
necessary to increase the quality and
quantity Of the clover seed crops and
to insure greater value on the market.
More attention should be given to the
productive operations which tend to
produce seed low in termination, and
to prevent it from becoming adulterated
with weed seed.
Medium Red Clover usually produces
two crops each year. When the second
cutting should be made early, about
June 10 to Is. Early cutting is con-
duciye to higher seed yield in the sec.
ond crop. AT this time some of the
most important weed plants are clipped
and not allowed to form seed. The
most Objectionable weed seeds that are
found in great abundance are dodder,
Canada thistle, cutled dock, and oxeye
daisy. The field as well as the seed
planted should be free from these
adulterants. "a -.
The seed crop should be cut when all
heads have turned brown. Cutting
earlier results in shriveled seed; later,
many heads break off easily, causing
much loss. This later loss may be pre-
vented somewhat by cutting while the
dew is heavy. 7.,- -
Hulling should be done as soon as
thoroughly dry, or the clover should be
stacked and covered to shed rain. Pro
longcd rains at harvest time cause
many Of the seeds to turn brown, thus
lowering the termination. A clover
huller should be used, but if one is not
available most of the seed can be re-
covered with a grain separator, if set
with full concaves and run at a high
speed; however, some farmers have
lost from 25 so per cent of the seed
when threshing with grain separator
instead of the clover huller.-F. w.

DAIRY COWS NEED GRAIN RIA.
TON NOW

To get good cream check next win
ter, keep the cows in condition now.
Pastures are short in most of the state
and the milk supply is falling off. If
cows 60 down now because of poor feed
they can never be brought back where
they should be until they freshen again.
The thing to do is to supplement the
pastures with green feed or silage, and
with some grain to the heavy milking
COWS especially. A suitable grain mix
ture is ground corn or barley 400
pounds, oats 200 pounds, linseed meal
100 pounds, this mixture to be fed at
the rate of one pound to four pounds
of mix by Holstein, and one to three
by Jersey or Guernsey 60. H.
