Wisconsin Has One-Fourth
 of Cow-Testing Assc

The 115 cow-testing associations in Wisconsin, kept in operation with the assistance of county agents and specialists employed comparatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultur- al College, equal almost one-fourth of all the associations of the coun- try. Twelve of these associations have been organized since December 1, 1921, and the membership in the State now numbers about $500 far mers owning 55,00O cows.
 The aims of the associations have been to weed out unproftable cows and to feed the animals balanced rations for maximum milk produc- tion. Records of the associations show the value of high grade cows and purebred sires. Last year 335 purebred bulls were purchased by the associations and 83 scrub bulls replaced by purebreds in 59 associa- tions.

Steel Used In umhrelIas.

All umbrellas contain steel as a necessary component. Just how much, however. has been a subject of some interest. While the umbrella industry Is not a large user of steel, its total consumption of wire and sheets Is sub- stantial considering the light weight of the finished product. A maker of umbrella frames on a large scale in Philadelphia is reported to use 2,500 tons of high carbon steel rods, $50 tons of soft basic rods and 36o tons of hessemer sheet steel each year. The entire industry uses about 1,500 tons of sheets and about 1,550 tons of rods. Wire for the manufacture of ribs and stretchers is made from high-carbon rods, while the runners. notches and various other small parts used in the frames are fashioned from soft basic rods. The steel rods are made from bessemer sheets. Four companies make practically all the umbrella frames in the United States. Of these three are in Philadelphia and one in Newark. Philadelphia, therefore, may be said to be the home of the umbrella industry of this country.

MUCH ROMANCE IN CHINA Mistaken Idea That All Is Prosalo Concerning Weddings In the
 Flowery Kingdom.

It has been the custom to think of riage of convenience, the place where 1t is believed that the circumstances and training of the parties concerned have more to do with happiness than the mere matter of their personalities But odd sidelights are thrown on this tradition in the survival of legends of romance and stories of remarkable ex- captions to the rule.
 Two of these tales concern the but ter1y in the mandarin's garden and the white rooster. These figures en- ter into many Chinese betrothals and marriage feasts.
 Instead of q pair of earrings or a bracelet Chinese swain, smitten on the lady who has been selected for him in one way or another, is apt to give her a carved jade butterfly to wear as a jewel.
 This commemorates a legend of a most remarkable exception to the rule of marriages of caste and convenience.
 youth sometime, somewhere. was chasing butterflies. Following a par ticularly lovely one be jumped over a wall and landed in the garden of a mandarin. The mandarin had a daugh- ter. He caught the butterfly. His head was not chopped off and he mar ried the lady who matched the butter fly in the garden.
 Then there is the story of the white rooster. These fowls are favorites In China and are considered ornamental objects for tirst-class garden of peach blossoms and pine trees.
 The Chinese maiden loses her lover, who goes to the wars or is taken from this earth in some romantic fashion. She goes to the garden where she used to meet him. She thinks about him. She looks down the well. She admires all the birds that are in the garden. They all leave her except her white rooster. She jumps into the we'll. So does the bird. They both drown. But both are faithful through life and In death.
 So at each wedding where proper attention Is paid to old customs the bride and groom drink wine from a carved jade cup which is a sentimental statue to the faithful bird.

Rope of Tails" Testi6es
 To Work Against Rodents

A rope made of 5000 gopher (ground squirreD tails was recently on display at the office of the Mon tana Extension Director, awaiting shipment to the Biological Survey of the United States Department eff Agriculture. The rope was made by the Blackfoot Indian chief, Split-Ear, and his tribal assistants, who live near Browning, in Glacier County, Mont. The Indians have taken an active interest in the campaign against the rodents, and after bury ing more than 1,40O ground squir- rels, decided to save tails for the 19 foot rope now on exhibition. It is estimated that at least 15,000 TO- dents were destroyed by the Indians during the drive.

Green Maturing Ancient
 Means of Innrovinr Soil


 Green manuring-plowing under green crops-as means of soil inn provement, although it has been em- phasized in recent years, can hardly be called a new discovery, says the United States Department of Agri- culture. It is really one of the oldest methods. Crops for this purpose were used by the ancients, the Romans using lupines, which were sown in September and turned under in May for the benefit of the following crop,
 In Germany the use of lupines began in the middle of the nineteenth century and has proved an important factor in retaining the sandy lands of parts of Prussia. In England le- gumes and other plants are common ly used; in India and Japan the far mers gather green plants of many kinds, sometimes even cutting twigs from the trees and carrying them to the rice fields.
 In the United States the use of special green-manure crops is much more general in the South than in the North. Under irrigation they play an important part in orchard culture in the West, but not under dry-farming conditions.

Better Laws Against Dogs
 Needed to Protect Sheer


 Although AS States have dog laws designed to protect sheep, many of them are so poorly planned or so poorly enforced that dogs still do much damage to focks, especially in the farming States where focks are small and dogs are plentiful. There is need for improvement in these laws, but, says the United States Department of Agriculture, a poor law that is enforced with energy may produce better results in sheep con- servation than much better law that is half-heartedly enforced. Dogs keep many men from going into the sheep business, which is probably a greater setback to the industry than the actual damage done by them.
