This is very encouraging and shows
We are travelling in the right direc-
ton as regards better dairy cows
here in the county
There were 29S cows on test dur

pounds fat. This is nearly 80 per cent
Of the cows going at 400 pound but

production Of the United States is on

association are setting, a pace that
few can maintain.

men are keeping, hasn't chance

bers are decreasing, as the scrub
dairyman is gradually awaking from
his long sleep.
The following is the list of the
quality cows:

Large clouds which began to form
during the afternoon In the south

light by sweltering humanity in this
immediate section. The mercury
which had been lowering around
the ninety three mark, began to
lower with the raising of refresh

passed east of here through the
