NATIONAL holidays. instituted in CON

NATIONAL holidays, instituted in com.
~ memoration of great events in Ma
ton history, are comparatively recent
thing.
They are peculiarly associated with a
democratic form of government.
Formerly, holidays, or feast days, as they
were known, had some peculiar religious
significance.
They were saints days or church calendar
days or religious celebrations of some kind.
This is still true of most of the mon
archcal countries of Europe today.
France and the United States, and in
later years the Latin, Americav republics,
have taken up the celebration of great civic
events in which the whole people partici.
pated or had n peculiar interest.
Guy Fawkes Day and the Kings Birthday
are, or have been, the almost sole anniver-
saries commemorated by the British. And
Guy Fawkes Day is gradually dying out.
France has experienced good many
vicissitudes in the observance Of her great
national holiday, July IA, or Bastille Day,
as II Is popularity called.
The Fourth of July in the United States
has been consistently observed since its first
anniversary.

Those figures are as convincing as
hard bump in the face on a dark
night. Yet we know of lots of farm
ers who are capable of throwing them
to one side as of no account. What
manner of men are they"
Here is wonderfully instructive
statement of fact concerning a grade
Guernsey heifer called Parsons Belle:
She came from a dam whose best
record as mature COW was $50
pounds of fat but which had been
bred to sire out of a high producing
strain. The heifer freshened two
sanized. and her record was for ten
months only. In this time. she pro-
duced 6,554 pounds of milk. which
contained 1868 pounds of fat. an in.
crease of % pounds over her mother S
yearly record as n mature COW. Par
sons Belle illustrates what can be ac-
complished with grade cows when a
pure-bred sire with good family rec
ord is used. Her part in the 10 months
was s66.07 and her feed cost was
s5S.9S. she being fourth in profit. Cow
testing associations not only give rec.
ords which indicate which cows to
keep and to breed from. but they
give valuable Information on the use
of sires. They point out which sires
are injecting productivity into the
herd. and which are decreasing the
average yield"
To the man of a receptive. reason.
ing mind. capable of taking them in
and deriving instruction from them
there is pith. power, and punch in the
above facts

SOME FACTS RELATIVE TO COW s..
TESTING ASSOCIATIONS

There is general agreement among
the men who handle the work of these
COW testing associations that it seems
very difficult to get the average dairy
farmer to see the advantage it is to
him to continue the work right along
He looks only on the expense side of
1t and does not stop to figure out the
profit side. 1t is too bad that there
are SO many men Of just this stamp
who are keeping cows but is tremen-
dously true nevertheless. A writer in
Wallace's Farmer gives us the follow
ing facts: -'r
"A certain COW in the cooperative
COW testing association exhibit at the
iowa State Fair gave enough milk to
fill 164 ten-gallon cans last year. One
of the singular points about this COW
was the fact that not one in a hun
dred persons could pick her out from
number of others that gave much
less milk, and far less profit The
animal it is true, was a good looking
COW, but there were others beside her
that looked Just as productive, and
which most farmers and dairy COW
Judges would have given first choice"
Now that is very common fact in
vast number of herds whose owners
think that their guess-work about their
cows is knowledge enough. Here is
another fact:
"The tester hired by these co-opera-
tive associations acts as the individual
bookkeeper for every COW owned by
association members. These records
are enabling countless numbers of
farmers to double and treble their
profits.
"a farmer of Kossuth county has
been a member of the Boston Cow
Testing association for four or five
years. In 1912 he made an average
profit of s22.12 from each COW. In
1915 each COW netted him an average
profit of s7.3S, and in 1916 another
increase in profit seems to be certain
The bookkeeper of his cows is taking
the guesswork out of his dairy opera
tions. This farmer is only one out of
26 others of the same association who
are increasing their profits. The rec
ords of each COW for the four years
time has cost only Sc or s15O per year,
yet the information has enabled him
to add s52.26 to the net yearly profit
from each COW in his entire herd
The records of the COW testing as
sociations are chuckful of just such
convincing facts, yet there are a lot
of COW keepers who shed them from
their brains and conviction as duck
sheds water. The same writer gives
the following table showing the expert
ence Of one farmer who stuck right to
the test for four years. Read it and
