is well illustrated by a comparison of
the summary of last years results
with those of the previous year in the
pettis County Cow Testing Associa-
ton.
During the first year the average
amount of milk per COW was 5340
pounds, while the second year showed
an average of 6668 pounds--an in
crease of 1928 pounds. The produc-
ton of butter fat had increased also
from 221.2 to 249.5 pounds, and the
cash profit from $S0.95 to $93.67 per
cow.
while this is not phenomenal in
crease, it does represent an increase
Of more than Is per cent in profit
above feed cost. Such an increase in
a single year shows conclusively the
value of the COW testing association
and gives US an idea of what we
might expect of the dairy industry in
the course of few years, if every
dairyman would follow the methods
adopted by cow testing associations. +"

TWO CROPS IN SAME ROW

On soils which will make 400 bush
els of corn to the acre in average sea-
sons, soybeans planted in the corn
will return three to four bushels of
seed together with some good forage,
according to c. A. Helm of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Soy
beans in corn always result in some
decrease in corn yield, the amount de-
pending upon the soil fertility and
rainfall during the season On rich
bottom land the decrease will be of
small account. On thinner, drier up
lands planting corn at two-rate
checked or drilled decreases the eff
feet of the soybean materially. On
average corn uplands two-rate of
corn is to be recommended whether
soybeans are used or not.
Four to six pounds of seed to ths
acre of soybeans in corn is good
rate. For the Wilson and other va
rieties with seed Of similar size four
pounds is enough. For the Morse use
six pounds. SOybeans cannot be
mixed with corn in the same box, but
must be planted through a bean and
pea attachment, whihc can be procured
for any standard planter.

HUBBY FIXED IT, ALL RIGHT
OF Course He Made Slight Mistake,
but We All Know He Really
Meant Well.

After the manner of zen in gen.
eral, he was apt to take odd notions
to do odd things at odd times. The
family had long since retired, when
he finished the serial that he had sat
up to read, and when he went out to
put the dog in the basement and lock
the kitchen door, he saw the new
washing machine and remembered
that his wife had been worrying some
over the necessity of filing the oil
cups He felt wide awake. Why. not
attend to the matter and have it
over with? There was no motor oil
In the house but he reflected that
vaseine would do just as well, so he
hunted it up in the medicine shelf
and dutlfully filled the cups,
Next morning, he could hardly wait
to tell his wife of his thoughtfulness.
''What did you Ali them within" she
asked with dubious pucker between
her brows. as she took up little
blue bottle that stood on the cabinet.
'Vaseline" was the answer
His wife said nothing. She merely
held the blue bottle well within his
range of vision and hubby's self
esteem fell to the zero point He had
filled the cups with salve that was
kept in the medicine chest.--Ex-

HIS MIDDLE INITIAL is W.

You don't often see it in full, but
the right name of the elderly gentle
man we all know so well is Uncle w.
Sam.
What does the initial letter stand
for?
Oh, that's because his full name is
Uncle Waste Sam. His middle name
is Waste
There is no doubt about it. You
see it everywhere. Most countries
would pretty nearly live on the
things we waste.
We waste more than $25, 100000
year in trees that we allow to burn up.
The other day we heard of ffty-one
forest fires going on in the same State
at the same time.
We find Implications in government,
two and three and even four bureaus
having jurisdiction over the same
thing. Waste of labor, time and money.
Thousands of hotels and tens of
thousands of restaurants in America
charge high prices because their pa
irons demand quantities of food, much
of which is left on the tables. Most
of the costly food that is thus left be-
hind, goes into the garbage can.
Which means that the diners waste
huge sums of money in the aggregate,
and caused great waste of precious
food.
1t is rare thing not to find waste
in American industry. Go to almost
any oil well and note how much oil
flows away. Visit almost any factory
and mill and about the first thing
your eye falls upon is some wasted
thing.
1t is so in most homes and in many
barns and fields. Waste in greater or
lesser degree.
Yes, his middle initial is w.

FRICTION Causes cold Wear.

Gold coins in circulation lose one
ifteen-hundredth of their weight each
year by friction, according to Federal
Reserve bank officials. In other words,
out of any 11s billion dollars of gold
in circulation, a million dollars is lost.
The coin is, of course, still worth its
face value at the mint; but If it Is
used to pay foreign debts, or any
where else where 1t is valued by
weight instead of by face, that amount
is dead loss.
When the gold is in bar form, this
loss is less and whenever possible
large amounts of the precious metal
are transported as bars. The loss on
the huge shipments Of gold across
oceans, required sometimes by inter
national trade, is often enormous.
