GOOD COWS PRODUCE
 MILK AT FAR LESS COST

Good cows produce mill, cheaply and at a profit while poor cows do not, according to figures given by A. D. McNair, farm management specialist of the Agricultural FIX tension Division, University of Ar kansas. Mir. McNair's statement al so shows that it Is important not only to feed cows well but to feed them economically.
 MT. McNair's figures are taken from a report made by the United States office of Farm Management and the University of Maryland on 94 farms in northern Maryland in 1919. This survey shows the diff ference in cost of producing milk with high and low producing herds.
 The average cost of production on 94 herds having a total of over 1,70O cows, was $3.86 per 100 pounds of milk and the average sales price was $3.98 per 100 pounds. Expressed in another way this means that it cost about 32 cents per gallon to produce the milk
 The cost of the feed was about | one-half of the total cost Of produc- ton and labor was PA per cent of the total cost. Other items were horse labor, shelter, bedding use of equipment, interest on the investment, depreciation, and mis- cellaneous.
 Five of the farms studied had less than 50 acres; 21 farms had from 51 to 100 acres; 23 farms had from 101 to 150 acres; 34 farms from 151 to 200 acres and II farms over 200 acres.
 The average amount of capita invested in the dairy enterprise wa; $4,535 per farm and this was 1t per cent of the total capital invested in farm and equipment.
 The most interesting fact brought out in the study is a comparison between Is farms having the loves and 15 having the highest cost ot production. The former produced milk at a cost cf 25 cents per gal lon, and the latter at 45 cents pel gallon. The former had an aver age labor income of $2,422, while the latter had an average of $974
 The superiority of the first grouI was partly in better cows and partly in more economical feeding. Tht cows of the first group averaged 6,645 pounds of milk per COW pel year, and those of the second grouI averaged 5,466 pounds.
 Pasture was used to a greater ex tent by the first group than by tht second, and the cost of feed Del COW, including pasture, was s99.0C a year for the first group compared with S148.00 per COW for the sec ond group. This latter group wa! fed highly but not efficiently. IT the attampt to force high production the cows were fed more than ani mals of their quality could properly use.
 The conclusion is that in dairy ing as in other lines, the highe the production per COW the bette the profit, and that economy in feed ing cows pays. But this econom, means balanced ration and neithe, too much nor too little feed. | also means the utilization to tn, fullest capacity of pastures, legume and other crops produced on tn farm.

She's Cleaning Up
 4 LGlULeSS TOECn

Witesburg, Ky, June 25.-Un- daunted by Neon's reputation as ''the worst governed and most law less town in Kentucky" Mrs. Mary Wright, wife of leading merchant of the town, sought and obtained the office of policewoman against the wishes of her husband. Today she is patrolling the streets of the 'lawless town" determined to re- store law and order. And a trans formation has already taken place and the male part of the popula- ton are applaudlng her spirit and courage.
 Women and children have rarely been permitted upon the streets at night, the movies" in many in- stances were unattended, grand iuries made investigations, but with out results, reputable citizens being afraid to testify against malefactors, saloons were wide open and the men running them were of the worst character.
 Mrs. Wright was the mother of two young girls. eff the men won't clean up the town, I will" she de- clared to her husband. And she has made good.
 To correspondent Mrs. Wright said:
 'T saw the necessity, through ob servation every day of my life, of the stamping out of the whisky traffic and other forms of vice. am rearing two girls at home-two precious gems; in other homes of the town other girls and boys are being reared under awful condi- tions. Men won't do; we've tried them for years and things are in much worse condition than they ever were before. had prayed until my pillow was wet with tears that the men would come to the rescue of our boys and girls and bring churches and society to the homes. I was about to give up in despair-but it won't do I am determined to do my duty to the precious boys and girls of the town at the risk of my life.
 "Perhaps there are good men somewhere, but none in Neon. They would not have put up with condi- tions this long. I go on duty as policewoman here with the sole pur- pose of doing my duty. After I have succeeded i1 making Neon one of the best towns in Kentucky the men-poor, worthless things-will rise up and declare, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Mrs. Wright refused to say more except, 'T want to get busy" and went out on her mission to trans form ''the worst governed town in | Kentucky"
 Mrs. Wright goes armed and she l is crack shot, The decent men of the town are greatly encouraged by her pluck and energy and the other class have begun to "sit up and take notice" and some of them are pre- pairing to vacate. The county off cials have assured Mrs. Wright that they will back her up, although they themselves are not entirely blameless for the evil conditions in Neon.
 Mrs. Wright is an attractive wo- man on the sunny side of 30. Also she ''tips the beam" at 225 pounds, which alone will dispose an evildoer to think twice before he gets ugly,

ALMANACS

Just 3,898 years ago this summer there ascended to the throne ol Babylon a gentleman named Am mi-zaduga. Doubtless he had among his contemporaries a character and some reason for distinction. He was perhaps a big army man or he ad- yocated including Elam in the Baby lonian lauge of nations. But it IS not for these things he is remem- hered now. His excuse for getting into an article written nearly four thousand years after his death IS curious one. He employed an as- tronomer.
 Back of this tkere is a story. The story of how two scientists colla0o- rated, though one of them was dead nearly 40 centuries before the other one was born.
 This story begins with the fact that we are able to set down the date of this kind so exactly-S, ,8go wears ago, or 1917 B. c. A decade ago we would not have dared to be so precise. The record kept m Babylon itself was interrupted Of course, when the city fell to Alex ander in 331 B. c. and gradually lost it's importance. Although the baked clay documents of the earliest times furnished the names and reigns of many of the kings, there has been no way in which these documents could be dated exactly m terms of the Christian era Whether particular king lived in 1900 or 1900 B. c. was necessarily a matter of inference and the individual judgment of each historian. That this uncertainty has been replaced by an exact chronology brings up to King Ammi-zaduga and his as- tronmer.
 Tn the collection of clay tablets brought back by Sir Henry Layard to the British museum were two which proved on translation to con tain a record covering 21 years and giving the days of the month on which the planet Venus first ap- peared and disappeared as evening and morning star successively. The figures are of exactly the same sort as you will find in any modern almanac. The observations for the eighth year are dated in the text as having been made in the eighth year of the reign of King Ammi- zaduga.
 The interest of these observations to us lies in the fact that they can be dated exactly by means of astro- nomical calculation. Modern alma macs are made, as everyone knows, | by advanced calculations, using the known motions of the heavenly bodies to predict, for instance, the ! days on which Venus will be evening star or morning star during the coming year. By extending exactly ! this same calculation backward 1t | is possible to set down the same | information, that is the almanac, l for any given year in the past. All that was neded, therefore, in order to exactly date the almanac of King Ammi-zaduga was to calculate the Venus data for a century or two at about the time of the king and ! then find whicn successive 21 years out of this period agreed with the observed data recorded in the an- cient tablet. This has been done
 by Dr. Kugler, the distinguished Dutch astronomer. He found three
 periods which would fit the an cient data: 204I-2020 B. C., 1917- 1856 B. C., and 1858-1837 B. c. There is historical evidence proving that the middle one of these possible periods is the correct one, and we have therefore an exact date in our
 own chronology for the reign of
