Rig COWS GIVE MORE PROFIT
ASSOCIATION FIGURES SHOW

Figures collected from various
associations throughout
he country and compiled by the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture tend to confirm the previous
conclusions of the department that
within the breeds, so far as they
were represented by these animals,
which were mostly grades. the large
cows are the biggest producers OF
dairy products and are also the most
profitable. The evidence seems to
point to the fact that in the indi-
vidual farmers herd 1t will be found
that on the average the larger cows
are more profitable than the smaller
ones, although there are some indi-
cations that this may not hold true
in the case of herds of native cattle
containing much beef blood.
The cows whose records have
been used by the department have
been sorted out so that only mature
animals were usesd for these COM
arisons, thus eliminating any diff
ferences that might have been caus'
ed by the immaturlty of some cows
In one group for which figures
have been prepared there were 16C
cows classified as small. POI as
medium, and 129 as large. The
small cows averaged 243 pounds o
butterfat a year, and made an in
come over the cost of feed of 77.3!
Those Of medium size made 2S!
pounds Of butterfat and an income
over feet cost OF 1891. The larg,
cows produced 345 pounds of butter
fat and return above feed cost o
i05.74.
In another group there were 46
small cows, Asa classed as medium
annd 326 large. Those In the frs
classification made 240 pounds o
butterfat on an average and an In
come over cost Of feed OF S9.11. TIL
mediums made ais pounds OF but
terfat and 10000 over feed cost
The large ones produced 900 pound
OF butterfat and an income over fee
cost OF 10S.29.
"And there will be no change 1
on figures for the years 1916 to 1911
inclusive, VIII III accounts for tn

COMET HOLDINGS

The excellent developments dem
on the Lyndon and Stella mines in
the Comet district has been the de-
cisive factor in the resumption of /

of the Hybla Mining Company of Ne

these two producing properties. The
preliminary work will be done on
the Hazel Green claim, which is stu

on the Lyndon properties from which

geology of the ore deposits of the
Comet district is well understoo
and the largest ore bodies have been
found in the soluble limestone beds
adjacent to the well defined fissure
veins that are a feature of the dis
trict. High grade silver ores occur
in the assures while ores of lower
grade and greater width are charac-
te-istic of the bedding deposits.
An ore shoot typical of the dis
trict, is now being opened up on the
