Most Composite Language.

It is impossible to state the e4lct
percentage of any language entering
into the composition of English, as
English has become the most composite
language spoken by man. The vocabu-
larry of common life is still about
three-fourths of Anglo-Saxo origin,
but the vocabulary Of literature and
commerce contains a majority OF
words of foreign origin, chiefly Latin
or Greek, coming in great part through
the Romance tongues, and of these
chiefly through French. The languages
from which the next greatest contribu-
ton has been received are the Scan
dinavian Ucelandic, Swedish, Danish,
Norwegian), the low German Dutch,
Flemish, etc.,; Celtic, Hebrew, Per-
sian, Arabic, Hindustani, Turkish,
Malay, Chinese, American Indian, etc.
The words derived from the more
remote languages are however, in great
part names of products or customs
peculiar to the countries concerned,
and few of them enter into actual
English use.

Thousands upon thousands of women

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any

But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what

TESTING INCREASES INCOME
California Association Is One of Old.
est to Continue in Successful
Operation.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The Ferndale Contrasting associa-
ton in Humboldt county, California, is
the largest contrasting association In
the United States. In the organiza-
ton 106 members, owning from to
$50 cows, finished the work last year,
and the association tested 4,546 cows,
according to report compiled by the
western office Of the dairy division,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Not only is this the largest cow-test-
ing association, but it is one of the
Oldest to continue in successful opera
tion. 1t was started II years ago, and
now has a successful breeder as it's
secretary and manager.
The history of this association gives
ample evidence of the value of cow
testing associations in developing the
dairy industry. The report shows that
4,014 cows finished the years work
with an average lactation period Of
nine and one-half months and with an
average butterfat production of 33403
pounds per COW. There are but few
associations, dairy specialists of the
department say, that equal this aver
age production, and none that can ap-
proach it in number of cows and
height of production.
Seventeen herds in the association
averaged from 400 to 1876 pounds Of
butterfat per cow: 10 averaged from
$50 to 400 pounds; 38 averaged from
300 to $50 pounds; % averaged from
$50 to 300 pounds, and averaged
from 213 to $50 pounds. 1t is inter-
esting to note that the six low herds
had been on test for the first time and
the owners had not had chance to
Gull out and breed up their stock.
The high COW of the association pro-
duced 1885 pounds of fat; IL cows in
the association produced over 600
pounds of fat % over 500 pounds 62S

But more important than the gaining
of political franchises and Liberties
has been the emancipation of the

fresh in the memory. The day is

over 400 pounds, and 1,541 over 300
pounds. The majority of the cows in
the association are grade, and their
large production is directly traceable
to the high-class purebred sires that
have been used by the members of the
association and to the raising of heif-
ers from the good cows found by the
testing association work.
In 1909, 5S1 cows in this association
finished the years work with an aver
age production of 251 pounds of fat.
Last year, the report shows, the aver
age of 4,014 cows was 334 pounds, a
difference of three pounds of fat per
COW. Based on the number of cows
finishing last years work, this differ
ence meant a total of 333, 162 pounds
of fat, which, at the price of 20 cents
per pound, the average paid Humboldt
county dairymen in 1920, amounts to
1928, 213.

PLAYING "East and Loose"

EAST and Loose" is the name of q
cheating game, also called ''pricking
at the belt" which appears to have
been much practiced by the gypsies in
the time of Shakespeare. The orig
inal name, in the phrase ito play fast

to designate the conduct of those
whose easy ethics do not forbid them
to say one thing and do another.

ONE ADVANTAGE OF DAlRYING
After Farmer Has Fed All His Crops
and Sold His Produce He
Still Has Machinery.

One of the great advantages of
dairying over steer feeding is that
after farmer has fed all his crops
and sold his produce he still has the
machinery left for producing more
of the same kind, while when the
steer is sold a new animal or ma
chine must be purchased.

SALT OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Required by All Animals and Cow
Should Be Given an Ounce or
TWO Every Day.

Salt is required by all animals. The
dairy COW requires an ounce or more a
day. She should be given all she
needs, but should not be forced to
take more than she wants. 1t is best,
therefore, to give only small guam
tity on the feed, and to place rock
salt in boxes in the yard where she
can lick it at will.
