The practice OF testing cows to de-
termine their milk and butter-fat pro-
duction and feed consumption by
means of cow-tcsting associations has
become widespread. There are row
452 associations of this kind In the
United Suites. besides many in foreign
countries. In most cases each ussocia-
ton has one tester and no more cows
than can he well handled. but there
are some very large ones and some
that are much smaller than the stand

creamery returned over $1,000 worth
Of milk and cream In one yenr to

$1,000 gallons Of sour milk In one year,
Why? Because the milk was held
and shipped at too high q temperature

suf1icient.
The first thing to do 10 to provide q
place to store the Ice. II Ice Is scarce
and hard to put up. It would probably
be well to build an ice house. plans
for which may be obtained from the

DAY OF THE SAIL NOT OVER
Many Years Likely to Elapse Before
Steam Is Without Rival on
the High Seas.

Is the dayo sail over? A few
years ago many people would have an
swered that question in the afiirma
tive. Square-riggers, there is no
doubt, are decreasing in numbers; but
recent years have witnessed remark
able revival in the building of sailing
craft. Most of the new sailing YES
sells are fitted with internal combus-
ton engines for use in calm or con-
trary winds, the sails being brought
into use in favorable weather. And
the sailing ship of the future will most
probably be the fore-and-aft type ia
miliar for many years on both coasts
of the American continent, especially
in the lumber trade.
They have a stark, austere beauty
of their own, with their four or five
tall masts their great sails, and their
usual carved sheer and low free
board. They are considered remark
ably handy vessels, especially adapted
TO sailing close-hauled, that is, as
near to the wind as possible. And
since sail must always remain the
cheapest form of propulsion, it would
seem likely that-especially since the
coming of the internal combustion en-
gine-so adapted for combustion with
sail-the threatened disappearance of
the sailing ship from the seas will
never come to pass. .

APPEALED TO HIGHER COURT
Decree From Judge Cupid Enabled
German Engineer to Laugh at
Government Regulations.

If government refuses a passport
there is a higher authority that may
be appealed to in certain cases, as
demonstrated by the recent experience
of German engineer This author
ity is no less a parsonage than Dan
Cupid himself.
The German engineer was preparing
to marry and the wedding day was
set, the Paris Journal DIES Debats
states. At the last moment it was
discovered that the bride-to-be had
not obtained a passport, and as she
lived In neEhboring country there
was no possible way for her to get
into Germany at the hour appointed
for the ceremony.
Rather than postpone the happy
event. however. the couple devised
an ingenious plan They had the
wedding party gather ut the frontier,
and the marriage service was read
while the bridegroom stood on German
soil and the bride OH the other side
of the line. When the ceremony was
over the groom reached out his hand.
drew his bride over the line into Ger
many and drove away in a waiting
coach. q
The authorities were impotent. for
the lady was now German citizen by
marriage, and as such had no need of
a passport.

writes: in February, along with
three friends, 1 had four weeks sea
fishing in the Bay of Islands. We
caught a number of good kingfsh up
to 50 pounds, besides whapuka up to
so pounds, and landed one big Moka
shark, which piece of luck fell to my
rod. He was great fighter, feet 3
inches long, and weighing a little over
400 pounds. Unlike the brown and
other sharks, he comes right out of
the water when hooked and jumps
sometimes twice his own length per-
pendicularly-a great fighter. Cor
