cost S1-3s to produce 100 pounds
OF milk. The tester talked the feed
ing question over with the owner
and encouraged him to feed home
grown ration consisting OF corn and
cob meal, ground oass and oil meal.
The following month the herd OF
nine cows increased in produc tion
800 pounds of milk and the cost
per hundred was only 80 cents.

Adopt Measures Quickly.
Members of COW testing associa-
tons are taking the lead in the
state among the dairymen who pur-
chase high class registered bulls
AS a rule they are the first ones to
clean up their herds of tuberculosis
and to establish good methods OF
sanitation Four years ago. when
one Of our associations was organ
lied, with the exception OF two
herds, there were only four pure
bred females in the association.
When the association had been in
operation three years there were
more than AGO pure bred females.
The average production of cows
in COW testing associations is at
least 1000 pounds greater than the
county not in associations. This
increase can be accounted for al
most entirely by the services rem
dered through COW testing associa-
tons. This increase, at conserva-
tive estimate. is worth thousands
of dollars to the dairymen."

BOY SCOUTS PUBLIC
 INITIATION PROVES Y. OF MUCH INTEREST

Last night Troop 1, Boy Scouts, held a public initiation and the large turn out of Kingman people indicated the interest of the grown-ups in the Boy Scouts organization. Nearly 200 peo- pie were present in the parlor of the St. Johns Methodist Episcopal Church where the boys have their meetings every Thursday night.
 Five boys, who had passed the pre- liminary examination, took the oath and were initiated into the troop, the thirty boys present standing at at tention whil ethe new members took the oath. The initiation consisted of such pranks sprung on the new mem- bers as boys would be interested in.
 After the initiation refreshments were served by the refreshment com mittee assisted by the ladies who had so kindly donated cakes, sandwiches and other good things to eat. During the evening the boys and the guests were favored with short talks by Prof. w. L. Linville, and Rev. T. H. Dodd, to whom is due by the way much credit for having fostered the boy scout movement here.
 At the conclusion of the entertain ment the boys were put through a drill by R. S. Adams and o. w. Gildow.
 Scoutmaster Adams has the boys we'll in hand and is doing a very praiseworthy work. To be scout a boy must be a better boy. His oath and the work he does at the scout meetings assures this. Mothers and fathers of Kingman who have boys of scout age should interest themselves in the movement.
