GOLDIE BY NAME, GOLD
BY NATURE, WAS
LAME COW,

Before certain Missouri
farmer joined the cow-testing
association, report specialists OF
the United States Department
of Agriculture, he owned a good
herd in which was an old Grip
|pled COW named "Goldie. At
that very time the owner was
trying to sell her for SIS. To
his surprise the Babcock test not
only placed poor, old. crippled
GOldie at the head of the herd
but at the head of the whole as
sociation. Her yearly produc-
ton. as shown by the records
was $500 pounds of milk and
526 pounds of butter fat, and
her yearly earning over cost of
feed was $267. Goldie be-
longed to herd whose average
yearly butter-fat production was
800 pounds, yet she was almost
so per cent above the average
of the herd, and more than 200
per cent superior to the average
dairy COW of this country.
Among the cows on test in the
1853 cow-testing associations are
many like Goldie. The true
production records furnished by
cow-testing associations have
prevented the sale of a large
number of umassuming but fair
ly high-producing cows.

SALT DISCOVERED AT COTE
BLANCHE AFTER LONG
TESTS.

Salt was struck Tuesday on
Cote Blanche.
:, The discovery, of interest to
biologists as well as of impor-
lance to the industrial life of
Louisiana, was made at the
depth of 600 feet on the north
west corner of the island. PEN
ctratiOn of ten feet showed the
salt to be of the same clear
crystalline substance as that of
the four other islands which
form a line in St. Mary and he
ria parishes, all salt producing,
among which is Avery's Island,
one of the largest salt mines in
the world.
This news was wired to New
Orleans Tuesday afternoon by
c. ]. Webre of this city and
Thomas w. Moore of Houston,
Texas, in charge of the drilling.
Cote Blanche is owned by Dom
elson Gallery of New Orleans
and the heirs of J. M. Burguieres.
Forty years of a hitherto vain
attempt to justify the geologi-
cal theory that the five islands,
little mountains rising from the
marshlands of Southern Louisi-
ana, were formed by the expan-
sion of salt in its capitalization
eliminated when that mineral
was reached on Cote Blanche.
Avery's Island, where salt was
discovered by accident during
the Civil war, has become the
worlds biggest salt cellar.
Weeks Island and Jefferson Is
land have whales of salt mines.
That there was salt at Belle Isle
was disastrously proved when
John w. Gates spent a million
on a mine, which was tunneled
by mistake into the sea and the
enterprise drowned out. But the
existence of salt at Cote Blanche
baffled the scientists and thel
owners during the unsuccessful
DIGGING Of twenty wells.
The existence of oil instead Of
salt at Cote Blanche was twice
suspected when two wells at q
depth Of 600 feet encountered q
good deal Of gas. The fact that
dozens of salt "domes" in Lou
isiana and Texas are also oil
ssd0mes" -as at jennings, Anse
