DAIRY
FACTS
MILK PRODUCTION PROBLEMS
Department Of Agriculture Has Been
Carrying on Interesting and In.
structive Studies.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For $50 cows that average less than
5000 pounds of milk annually, the
part of the milk check that represent
ed profit and reimbursement for the
owners managerial ability was % per
cent. For 257 cows averaging more
than 5000 pounds annually, the per
cent remaining for profit and the own
er's skill was Al per cent.
For the last five years the dairy di-
vision, United States Department Of
Agriculture, has been making studies
which bear on this problem in many
dairy sections of the country; and
twO-year investigations on the re-
Quirements for producing milk have
now been completed on groups OF
dairy farms in six Of these cOmmuni-
ties. One of the latest Of these stud
les, carried on in Vermont, is the one
OH which the above figures are based.
What 1t has disclosed in regard to
economy Of production and the re-
quirements for producing milk, may be
of value to the dairyman who is inter
ested in finding out where milk re-
turns are going.
These figures. which were obtained
from study of the production rec
Ords of 5S1 cows which remained in
the herds full year, show that the

required to pay production costs feed,
1910 pounds of milk; labor, 800
pounds of milk; and other costs $40
pounds of milky only $50 pounds OF
milk remained for the profit and skill
of the owner. For the high-produc-
ing group, however, 3,O74 pounds OF
milk remained after the following de-
auctions had been made: For feed,
2.302 pounds of milk; labor, SO6
pounds of milk, and other costs 962
pounds Of milk.
Here, then, were cows in the same
locality, In some cases standing side by
side, and all requiring about the same
labor; yet some were producing three
times as much profit as others, even
though they were charged with great
err quantities Of feed and large
amount of "other COSTS
The figures adduced are significant
also in that they show that in milk
checks size Is not always true meas
ure of real value; but that the per
cent Of profit. as determined by the
cows that are kept. plays an impor-
tant part.
The figures upon which this compar-
ison is based were actual records OF
production; feed, labor. and other
costs were obtained by monthly full
day visits on each of the farms for a
period Of two years. Careful rec
ords were made Oh these visits Of the
daily milk production of each COW,
feed consumed, labor required, over
head costs, etc. Using these data,
the requirements for producing 100
pounds of milk were worked out. So
far as possible the requirements were
determined In terms OF pounds of feed,
hours Of labor. etc, so that constantly
fuctuating prices would have no ef-
feet on the value OF the figures. Re-
suits may be interpreted at any time
by using prevailing prices.
The requirements for producing 100
pounds Of milk. based on SAT cows,
with an average annual production OF
$3.50 pounds Of SO per cent milk. were
as follows:

The Cord Of Death.

An extraordinary method is EN-.

San Quentin penitentiary, California.
No photographs have ever been taken
Of the death chamber, but this Is what
takes place. Three guards hide be-
hind a screen near the gallows. They
are employed to cut the cord which
releases the trap door for the execu-
ton. In order that none Of the men
will know who cut the fatal strand
three cords are stretched across q
table. All of these are cut at the
same time. so that there is no way Of
knowing which one actually released
the trap.

A THREATENED CAR SHORTAGE

The Railway Age, in an editorial
in its current issue, publishes some
statistics regarding the freight car
situation with which the railways and
shippers of the country are confront
ed. 1t shows that the railways now
have about $4,000 fewer cars fit for
immediate service than they had a
year ago, and about 295,0O0 fewer
cars fit for actual service than they
had when government control was
adopted on January /, 1918.
These figures do not seem to &C.
cord with the fact that railroads all
over the country have been laying off
large numbers of men employed in
their car shops. 1t would seem4to be
the part of wisdom to keep these men
at work until the cars shall have been
placed in good order
Especially does this appear to be
true in the light of the assertion by
the Age that if the country's business
is to be handled, the number of bad
order cars must be reduced as rapidly
as practicable by the railways, but it
is a practical impossibility to provide
supply OF freight cars or of other
essential facilities large enough to
handle all the business offered when
the years requirements of the country
are crowded into few months. For
his own advantage. therefore," con-
tinueS the Age, every shipper and
every receiver of freight in a position
to- anticipate the revival of normal
business activities should ship as
| much freight as he can within the
! near future, while the railways still
have surplus equipment. A sudden
and large increase in the demand for
| freight transportation, with the car
situation what it now is, would pro-
duce a car shortage much more quick
ly than most people realize.
The present accumulation of bad
order cars, as we'll as the deficiency
in total number OF cars, 1t is pointed
out. is due not only to neglect to main
tain and replace cars during govern
ment control, but also to the desperate
struggle which many railways have
been making within recent. months to
keep out of bankruptcy. The infer
ence here is that the railroads cannot
afford to repair their cars at the pres
ent cost of labor and material.
| The shipper may feel that he cannot
afford to ship at present cost of haul
age and may. therefore, conclude to
do like the railroads-wait for the
rates to come down.

Dorothy Dix Tales
By DOROTHY DIX
The Philanderer-1.

A woman, who is married to a man
with a rowing eye and wandering
foot, wants to know -how she can
cure him of flirtatiousness, and what
she shah do about it, anyway.
There is no cure for philandering.
The man whose tickle fancy is fired
by-every fresh face, and who is inn
PEELED to-~chase every high water
skirt that crosses his pathway, has a
constitutional affliction that only
death will end. No matter how much
he promises to reform, he will go on
falling from grace until he falls into
the grave.
He is Just built that way. There's
no faNh in him. Possibly he can no
more help being butterfly that fits
from flower to flower than a solid
granite cliff can help being what it
is, and staying in one place.
Certainly if a man cannot change
himself, and steady his own waverine
soul, no wife can accomplish the i'm
POSSIBLE task. OF course, every woman,
who marries one of those men whose
hearts are a hotel run on the Euro
pean plan, believes that she has got a
ninety-nine year lease on 1t, and is
going to be a permanent tenant
r. Before she has got fairly unpacked
and settled, and has burnt up the love
letters and other souvenirs of her
predecessor, there's a new name in

is tarrying temporarily in the suite de

Many fake remedies are offered for
/ tying such men to their own hearth
stones. Women are told that they
must give their husbands the thrill at
home that they seek abroad. Wives
are adjured to keep themselves always
young and beautiful, and exquisitely
dressed, and outvamp the vampiest
vamp. Also they must keep their
| husband pursuing the love chase by
keeping them guessing, and allure
them along the path of matrimony by
always being coy and arch and flirta-
| tious themselves.
All of which is sheer nonsense. Y GU
cannot mingle thrills with the bills of
domestic life, and matrimony is a
place where you are called Npon every
hour of the day to pay the piper. Nor
can you successfully swathe cooking

Many of the babies taken from the
Chaplin nursery during the past two
years have been adopted by unmar-
ried women. According to DIR.
Chaplin, the maternal instinct is often
very highly developed in some of
these unmarried applicants, whereas,
he says, it is often only slightly de-
veloped in married women who are
mothers of children. Many of the
scores of requests received for the
new British infants have come from
successful business and professional
women who, tho avoiding matrimony,
are not averse to raising a family.
