VALUE OF TEST ASSOCIATIONS
information Obtained by Members
Enables Them to Weed Out
Improbable Animals.

There is plenty of evidence on file
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture to convince anyone of the
value of contrasting associations as a
means of developing profitable dairy
herds. In all these associations rec
ords are kept of the amount of milk
produced and feed consumed by each
COW, and with this information the
members of the association are able
to weed out the poor producers of the
herd to make room for the heifer
calves of the cows that give the larg-
est production Of milk and butterfat.
This practice, together with the use
Of purebred bulls, Is the best and sur
est way of building up the dairy herd,
say dairy specialists of the depart
ment.

DAIRY
POINTS
CARE IN MARKETING BUTTER
To Insure Delivery Of Satisfactory
Product to Consumer II Should
Be Well Wrapped.

Successful parcel-post marketing OF
butter requires that exteme care be
taken to insure the delivery of sat
isfactory product to the consumers,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The fol-
lowing are few of the important
considerations to be observed to mar
ket butter successfully by parcel post !:
1t should be properly packed in neat
and attractive packages.
The shipping container used should
amply protect the butter from deterior-
alton and damage
The packages should bear the adj
dress of the sender and be properly
addressed to the customer.
The most expeditions mail service
from the mailing Office should be used
to insure delivery in the best condi-
ton.
Postal regulations provide that but
ter will be accepted for mailing to all
offices to which, in the ordinary
course of mail, 1t can be sent without
spelling when suitably wrapped or in
closed or when packed in crates,
boxes, or other suitable containers to
prevent the escape of anything from
the package, and so constructed as
to properly protect the contents.

that held more blunders on the Brit
ish side than on THAI of the German
commander.
The narrative of the Dardanelles
operation. though related from the
naval point of view, is necessarily
concerned with military movements.
but they have been dealt with only
calculating what the navy did in en-
deavoring to facilitate the task of the
sister service" Sir Jdlian gives the
naval operations with so much detail
that the student can follow practi-
cally every shot fired in the lombard
les at the entrance to the Straits, and
with the aid OF the excellent charts
every movement of the British and
French ships.
To readers who are familiar with
this writer's previous works and Who
are interested in naval strategy. this
volume will be more or less disap-
pointing, since il is singularly lack
ing in those brilliant expositions of
strategy which are among the re-
wards OF reading such studies as
England in the Seven Years War.
Possibly these omissions are due to
the fact that British naval strategy
in the period treated did not shine
refulgent. and Corbett had to omit
comments on ii through force of his
work being an Official" history.
From this viewpoint his volume is
singularly complete and necessarily
supplies gaps in the records hitherto
set down by individual writer's who
did not have access to the Admiralty
records as did Sir Julian. Ii is this
feature that gives the work its great
est value.
