Minnesota Butter Produced Lead

Minnesota has new milk and
butter wonder in Holstein cow own
ed by J.. M. Hackney of st. Paul,
Mimi. After 365 days on official
test this cow, Molly Veeman Segis
Pontiac, is credited by the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America with
a production of 2848S.2 pounds of
milk containing 1919 10 pounds of fat
equivalent to 1273.9S pounds of but
ter. This record gives her the hon
or of being the 48th cow of the
breed to produce over 1000 pounds of
fat in 365 days.
Molly's best seven days. record is
ISL pounds of milk, containing
2S.S91 pounds of fat, equivalent to
36.1 pounds of butter. Fourteen diff
ferent supervisors were employed In
the conduct of the test.
The Champion Holstein for Mime
sofa in the full aged class for 365
days production is Duchess Skylark
Ohmsby whose record of 2776l. z
pounds of milk and 1205.09 pounds of
fat, equivalent to 1506.36 pounds OF
butter, surpasses all others not only
in Minnesota but in the United States,
according to the records of the Hol-
stein Friesian Association of An.eri-
ca. This record production was n':.le
at the J. B. Irwin Farm, Minneapo-
lis, MINI.
According to w. E. Peterson, Sup
erintendent of official testing at the
Minnesota University there are 81
Minnesota Holsteins in the 1000
pound class and a few each of the
Guernsey and Jerney breed, making
the Gopher state the leading state in
America for cows that have produced
1000 pounds or more of butter in one
year. Great interest has been shown
in developing efficient cows in the
last few years. In 1915 Minnesota
had only one 1000 pound producer,
according to Mr.. Peterson. This was
Duchess mentioned above. Besides
giving Minnesota a flying stat on
high production she set mark no
other American cow has keen able to
reach. However, Canadian Holstein
lately has surpassed her.
'Let's Grow" Project Now Offered

be awarded to the juniors making the

shows any discoloration is warning.
Do not plant those ears.
Soil that grows corn year after
year or every other year will accum-
ulate and carry corn diseases to a
greater extent than will land that is
in corn only once every three or four
years.
More rotation in which more grass
es and clovers are used will do much
to reduce the danger from corn di-
seases carried over in the soil. If we
continually grow the same crop on the
same land year after year we may
expect to have trouble.
Test your seed corn. Last year
was good corn year. In nearly all
parts of the corn belt the corn
thoroughly matured and as a result
many farmers are inclined to think
it will not be necessary to test their
seed corn this year. Failure to test
seed corn may be a fatal mistake.
Seed corn should always be tested,
particularly just now when we are
menaced by these corn diseases.
Take great care in selecting ears
for testing. Discard every ear that
has brown or disclored shank.
Throw out every ear with a shank
that broke off in shreds. Discard ev-
cry ear that shows mold. Throw
out every ear that has bleached tip
or has rotten kennels on the tip.
Select only ears with kernels that are
bright and oily.
Corn may be tested in either a
rag doll or a termination box but
undoubtedly the best method is to use
the combination improved rag doll
and termination box tester reco-
mended by the Indiana Experiment
Station. Extension Bulletin No. 81,
issued by the Agricultural Exten-
sion Department of Purdue Universe
ty, describes this method as follows:
''The improved rag doll gives an
accurate test for termination and
also indicates in large measure
those ears which are infested with
molds and those infected by the or
ganisms causing the root rots.
= "The advantage of this improved
method lies in the use of sheet OF
heavy glazed paper, which is wrapped
up with the cloth and which acts as
insulator and prevents the spread OF
the molds through the cloth. This
limits their growth to the seedlings
from the kernels which are infected,
and diseased ears can thereby be
detected.
"The cloth which is used to prepare
the dolls may be either bleached or
unbleached heavy muslin.' The mus
lin should be purchased in 81 inch
widths and the width Of the bolt can
be taken as the length of the doll.
The muslin is shrunk and then torn
into II inch strips. This makes a
doll approximately IL by 81 inches in
size.
at will require approximately II
yards of muslin to supply cloths to
prepare 80 dolls, the content of one
small termination box. The muslin
should be shrunk in large pieces and
the starch filler should be removed
by prolonged boiling and thorough
rinsing of the cloths before using
them.
"The doll cloths must be thorough
ly sterilized by boiling in water be-
fore each test. An ordinary wash
boiler serves well to sterilize them.
In case cleansing them with soap be-
comes necessary, they should be thor
oughly rinsed before using. They are

ILLINOIS COAL STRIKE OVER
Operators and Miners Reach Wage
Agreement at Conference.

Chicago-An agreement to settle the
Illinois coal strike was reached by
the subcommittee of coal operators
and miners scale committees.
Soft coal operators and miners in
two more states have made peace.
Illinois and Indiana miners prepared
at once to enter the pits, following the
lead of Michigan, Iowa and Wyoming
miners.
The agreement will send 10000 II.
linois miners back under the same
wages and working conditions of the
old contract which expired April 1st.
Preparations for opening the mines
were started. Engineers were given
telegraphic instructions to return to
the mines in the Duquoin field.
1t was represented by authoritative
spokesmen that both sides were desir-
GUS of reaching an agreement in &C.
cord with the Cleveland settlement,
but that few operators still were
holding out against 1t in the other
soft coal states.

New York-Preliminary to the ses-

Executives when members will vote
their attitude toward proposals of the
big Four" brotherhoods for ending
the shop crafts strike, the Eastern

meeting to formulate a policy for its
II members.
Roads represented were those which
led the opposition when the national
body of rail chiefs rejected Harding's
two proposals for ending the strike by
submitting the seniority issue to the
Railroad Labor board.
Mr.. Loree saying that he spoke for
himself alone, made the following
statement:
"You can quote me as saying stand
solidly against any surrender and it IS
surrender on the part of the roads
to give back the strikers seniority"
w. w. Atterbury, vice president Of
the Pennsylvania system, said: "Mr.

Speaks at Butler

A paper OF interest IN educational cir
cles was read before the Butler College
Faculty Club at its last meeting, by
Miss Anna Weaver, Professor Of Greek
At Butler. the general theme being n
comparison OF the civilization Of Athens
with the civilization Of indianapolis.
Miss Weaver painted for her audience
a word picture Of the natural and ar
chltectural background of Athenium civ
ilization, showing clearly how the sy-
metry and balance Of the Greek moral
ideal were portrayed IN the inimitable
curves Of Grecian temples. In couclud-
ing Miss Weaver said Athens. queen Of
the Hellenic world, pre-eminent in culture
was second only to Indianapolis In re-
soect to the scientific technique Of our
modern, all too materialistic civilization.
The paper was followed by a discus
sion after which the club adjourned to
the home of President r. J. Alley, where
D. W. E. Richardson, presided over the
social hour.

FASHION HINTS FROM PARIS.

Gently was of Canton crepe and had a
long side panel, a big corsage rose and
long slashed sleeves. This frock was
quite effective and 1t wasn't expensive
as women's gowns go.
A report sent out from here recently
understood in America It said that eff
forts to make the corset popular again
had proved a failure. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The report re-
ferred to the old-fashioned, stiff, tightly
laced corset. That will never come back,
but the modern style corset covering the
hips and torso is extremely popular here
and dealers are finding it hard to meet
the demand. Four ffths Of the women
Of France are wearing cOrsets. The other
fifth lives in the rural districts or is
too young to need shape and bracing at
the waist.
A wealthy young American met a very
pretty girl in a cafe here recently and,
