Open bitches are usually less costly

two and one-half times as much total
nutriment as the routine ration fed to
the dry cows of the general herd.
The cows on test gave from 10000
to 10000 pounds of milk In the year;
that is, three to four times as much
as most of the cows in the general
herd A part of this larger yield Is
due to the fact that the test cows
were better bred. but part also Is
due to the larger quantity Of feed they
consumed, say specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
charge of the tests. How much of the
increased milk yield to attribute to
each Of these factors Is question Of
great practical interest.

NEED. OF BUSINESS PRACTICE
Many Cooperative Associations Have
Failed Because OF Lack of Finan-
ciaI System.

Lack Of proper financial systems
has been the cause Of failures in many
cooperative associations, say special
lists Of the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, who
feel that now is an opportune time for
emphasizing the need Of good business
practice among farmers,
The bureau of markets has much
information on systems of accounts
and business practice for cooperative
associations, and either directly or
through extension workers it is pre-
pared to give assistance In installing
good accounting systems for cooper
atfve grain companies, cotton ware
houses, country creameries, fruit
shipping associations, egg circles, CO
operative cheese manufacturing and
marketing associations, and cooper
ative grain elevators.
Short courses of study in market ac-
counting have been prepared and are
used in number of colleges through
out the country, and are also given
at field points where marketing as
sociattons are numerous. Systems Of
accounts are furnished upon request,
and advice and assistance relative to
their installation is given through cor
respondence and by means of bulle-
tins especially prepared for this pur-
pose.

METHOD OF APPLYING LIME.
Some Farmers obtain Good Results
by Using Manure Spreader With
Beater Reversed

Lime may be applied either in the
fall or spring The proper method of
application is important from an eco

a shovel is wasteful and the distribu-
tfon cannot be uniform. The method
used by some farmers. with. very good
results is to reverse the beater Of

FRANCE ANNOUNCES
POPULATION LOSS
Decrease of 100000 Noted in
1920, With Marked Trend
Toward Cities.

PARIS, Jan. From statistics
just made public it is learned that the
population of France has decreased
half a million. and that there is u
decided trend toward the cities for
1920.
Infant mortality has increased 30
per cent since 1914, rising in Nover-
Der this year to 40 per cent of births
In Paris. This is slightly lower than
the figures from other cities.
The infant mortality rate is % ner
cent in the rural districts, the higher
Paris death rate being attributed to
the scarcity and poor quality OF milk
as well as to the high cost OF living.
Unemployment in cities increased
20 per cent in the last three months
but the rural sections and the devas-
tated regions report n scarcity OF la
Dor.
The fuel situation is improved, but
the average increase in the cost OF
living as registered throughout
France is $50 per cent over 1919 AMI
40 per cent over 1914.

E. C. Dawson Claims Road, by
Special Board, Seeks to
Avoid U. S. Law.

Z. c. Dawson, secretary-treasurer
Of the International Association OF
Machinists, declared today that the
plan announced today by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to create
a special board of company represen-
tatives and workers to adjust griev-
ances is San effort to get from under
the Esch-Cummins law"
II do not believe the railroad
brotherhoods signed the agreement
the announcement refers to. or have
anything to do with the PLAN" said
Dawson, whose organization has
jurisdiction over a large part of the
railroad shopmen.
wv. w. Atterbury, first vice presi-
dent OF the Pennsylvania, is one of
the railroad leaders who have made
every possible effort to disrupt the
unions. We have shown up other ef-
forts on the part of his company to
evade the Gu nmins-Esch law.
1.-THE railroad unions demand that
the railroads live up to this law and
continue the national agreements
granted the railroad employees by the
railroad administration. These agree
ments provide for the settlement OF
railroad unions demand the estab-
lishment of national boards like those
in operation under the railroad ad-
ministration, and have announced
they will fight the efforts of the rail-
road companies to settle grievances
locally.
THE plan which the Pennsylvania
company announced today with so
much flourish was not, i do not be-
lieve. put up to the representatives OF
the railroad brotherhoods or of the
other organizations supposed to be
affected. Atterbury probably called
together a group OF men who he
knew were pliable and could be used
by the company. Such a board as
outlined by the announcement Will be
a company affair-at least. that is the
way 1t sounds to me.
1.-THE announcement said the rail-
road shopmen were not included in
the agreement, but will be later.
