BIG VALUE OF CONTRASTING

With figures from Virginia cow
testing association as the basis for his
calculations a representative of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has made some convincing COM
parisons of he best herd and the poor
est herd, that bring out with unusual
emphasis the value of testing.
There were 511 cows owned by men,
bers of the association. The best herd
consisted Of 16 cows, with an average
of 306 pounds of butter fat in a year.
The poorest herd had 81 cows, aver
aging 155 pounds of butter fat in a
year. The first herd made an average
income Of $75 per COW over the cost
of feed consumed the latter made an
average return over feed cost of only
GA cents per COW.
The Introduction of a few variations
on these figures will help to show just
how far apart were these cows in the
two herds. The average COW in the
best herd produced more income above

DAIRY
FACTS
$40 NECESSARY FOR pAIrY
Increase Of 7La Per Gent Mace on Mis-.
souri, Farm by Feeding Cows
on Silage.

No man who. is milking a herd Of
a dozen or more cows can ever hope
to make maximum returns from his
herd without a silo, according to &.
M. Harmon, dairy extension specialist
for the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture. This statement was proved by
the Missouri Cow Testing associations
during the past year, as shown in the
following results:
Cows receiving silage produced an
average of 5,798 pounds of milk, 2G6.S
pounds of fat and a profit above feed
cost of $10860 per COW. Cows with
out silage averaged $3.50 pounds of
milk, 252.7 pounds of fat and a profit
of $101.02 per COW. The difference
was 500 pounds of milk, 1879 pounds
OF fat and $7.58 cents per COW in one
year.
This means an increase of TN per
cent in profit due to the silo. The
average man would. go a long way to
market his wheat for tx per cent
more. 1t is worth that much to build
silo and we must have lot more of
them before we will reach, the economy
we should in butterfat production.

five for night work. The new schedule
was announced at the annual meet
ing of the association. The agreement
is to last six months. The negotiations
have been carried on very quietly for

wages of the Halifax longshoremen
are now higher than those Of st. John,

Although the United Kingdom pro-
vided 35.5 per cent of the worlds
output of merchant shipping in 1921,
the shipbuilding industry has under
gone a severe slump. Lloyds Regis
ter's quarterly returns show that at
the opening of last year 3,7O8,916 tons
were under construction in the Uni
ted Kingdom, and the March, 1921, re-
turns show an increase of about co.
coo tons, the totals reaching 3,79S, 500.
This is the highest figures ever
recorded in the sOciety's returns.
Since then steady decrease has
taken place, the figures for the end
Of December, 1921-264O,319 tons
being the lowest since June, 1919, and
showing a reduction of 1,15S 274 tons
during period of only nine months.
''Very few new orders recently
have been received by shipbuilders, I"
says Lloyds annual summary. "The
December quarterly returns show that
during the whole quarter only $1,000
tons of new vessels have been COM

CalOmel is mercury; quicksilver. 1t

cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just 60 to
your druggist and get bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone for a few cents which
is'a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomeli It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days

you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children

Sardinia, one Of the island posses

lakes ranking among the largest il
the world. These lakes are being con-
structed for irrigation and hydroelec-
tric-pOwer purposes. At the present
time, the mining industry of this is-
land forms more than a quarter Of the
entire Italian output. Zinc alone Is
produced in the amount Of 100000
tons yearly, but has to be transported
to other countries for manufactures
With the hydroelectric power soon to
be available, it is expected that, In

then imported in the finished state,
this and various other mining products
can be manufactured at home.-Popu-

COWS DURING COLD WEATHER
Few Pounds Of Corn Chop Will Help
to Provide Body Heat and Keep
Up Milk Flow.

During cold weather, dairy cows
should be fed little more grain than
during milder weather. A few pounds
of corn chop each day during the cold
est days will help to provide more
body heat and enable the COW to keep
up her milk flow even in the coolest
weather 1t is of course necessary that
the cow have shelter and not be ex-
posed to the cold winds. On real
cold days blanket will assist in keep
ing the COW comfortable.
