CONTRASTING ASSOCIATIONS
Where Organized 4 Decided improve
mens Has Besn Noted 10 Quality
of Dairy Herds.

(Prepared ~ the United States Department
Of .Agriculture.) u
The practice Of testing cows to de
termine their milk and butter-fat pro
duction and feed consumption By
means of contrasting associations has
become widespread. There are now
452 associations of this kind In the
United States, besides many in foreign
countries. In most cases each assocfa-
ton has one tester and no more cows
than can be well handled, but there
are some very large ones and some
that are much smaller than the stand
ard. The theoretical number of mem
bers in a contrasting association Is 20
3 which makes one member for the test.
Ell to visit each working day of the
month. A member Of such an associa.
ton is supposed to have not more
than 80 cows, as that makes a large
days work. If every member had
that number, there would be $50 cows
In the association, but few of them
have that many.
q There is no definite relation between
the number of members In an ~associa-
tion, and the number of COWS owned.
In California there is n association
that tests 1000 COWS and another that
tests 4,4O0, and the number of mem
hers are. respectively, 40 and 100. An
other in the same state has Sc mem
bers and only 1,439 cows; there are

lessly and to the utmost in mere en-
joyment, but to build 1t into the fu-
ture self which is being realized with
the passage of each day. Life thus
used Is not transitory, but rather an
eternal possession, something of which
a man cannot be deprived. And that.
OF course, is the moral Of New Years
dag. It Is an old moral, and yet ever
new-new every morning. Indeed,
practically the whole Of religion, as
applied to daily life, is summed up
in 1T For religion, even more than
culture, is "the study of perfection
and 1t speaks of, and was meant to
further. the. progress from imperfec-
ton to perfection.
He who has been '.made perfect in
q short time" has, as has been i
"fulflled a long time" nAnd an I'M

hand, the man who dies In wickednesss,
dies in his youth even though he live
far beyond the scriptural term. Time.
therefore, has very little to do with
the fundamental things of life.

cow TESTING IS NECESSARY
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Concise Re.

Dairy Division.

What the c~ow-testing work has
meant to one Wisconsin farmer was
stated so simply and concisely in a
report to an agent. of the dairy divi-

along. This farmer says
1.-The cow testing in the west section
Of Outagamie county has been carried

I'VE have learned to know our cows
not by what they seemed but by what
they actually are, to understand the
necessity Of selecting heifer calves
from u best cows to be raised for
our future herd. .

Several varieties Of large dogish and
small sharks are found around the
British coast. The f%ox-shark, or
thresher, follows the shoals of behring's,
pilchards and sprats, destroying great
numbers and often doing much dam
age to nets. 1t often attains a length
of Is feet, including it's long. narrow
tail, which often exceeds in length the
remainder of the body. The Greenland
shark, which sometimes grows to 26
feet, occasionally strays from arctic
waters to the latitudes of Great Brit
ain. The tope IS a dogfsh common on
the coast of England and Ireland. 1t
Is of a slate-gray color and attains a
length of six feet. Another dogfish
is also common. 1t attains a length
of from three to four feet.
