COWS ON HONOR
ROLL OF TESTER
Considerable Improvement
Shown In Last Report
LINE UP THE DATA
Some Pleasant Surprises Are
Found In Making the
Rounds

Considerable improvement over
past reports is shown in the last re-
port given by Oscar Erickson, COW
tester. for the Blue Earth County
Cow Testing associations. There
were more cows on test and quite a
few more qualified for the honor roll
Herds averaged better than on pre-
vious tests, as well as the individual
cow records made. according TO the
report,
During the month there were 240
cows tested and fifty of these pro-
duced forty pounds of butter fat or
more. The average production of all
cows was $40 pounds of milk test
ing three and seventy four percent,
containing S1.S pounds Of butterfat
This is an increase of forty pounds
OF milk and four pounds of butterfat
over the month of January. This can
be directly credited to better feeds
and feeding, as some members pur-
chased clover and alfalfa hay, and
a marked change was noticed in the
production as when the roughage
consisted of timothy or slough hay.
They are now converts to these le-
gumes. With these as roughageless
of the purchased concentrates are
necessary.
Some Pleasant Surprises
There are many pleasant surprises
in testing cows. according to the
tester. For instance in the cow
Hazel" owned by one of the mem
bers. She was in the yards at St
Paul. classed as springer. She was
bought and taken to this mans farm
along with a carload of steers and
put in the feed lot. There she
freshened and as she was a likely
looking cow the owner put her IN
the milking herd and fed her a
balanced ration, and plenty OF it.
Her production for the month as
shown by the milk sheet was S9s
pounds of milk, containing forty
three pounds of butterfat. She cost
the owner $3.50 and the value o.
Der product was $24.80. The figures
show that she paid for herself the
first month 1t was just another in
stance of good COW gwen cnance
to show her ability.
shown to be a silent thief. Upor
testing the skim milk it was dis.
covered that about s21.00 worth oil
butterfat was Seing fed to the hogs
every month. 1t is needless to say
that this member has not been
boosting testing. The dues to the as
ISOLATION are only $500, and this
member got his moneys worth on
the first visit OF the tester to the
farm.
These and many other instances
sneak in favor of the testing. The

tion members who are averaging
over twenty five pounds Of butter

Auto Owners Must
Pay Penalty, Order
That Is II They Have Not
Already Taken Out
License

Automobile owners who did not
register before midnight last night
will be obliged to pay 25 cents day
penalty for every Gay they neglect
this duty, beginning Tuesday, Mike
Holm, Secretary of State. reiterated
today.
The time limit expired April ], but
due TO the fact that this date fell on
Sunday, a one day extension was
granted by Mr.. Holm TO enable own
ers of automobiles. particularly in
the twin cities, to file their reg1stra-
ton.
Owners who reside in rural com
munities who mailed their appliCa
tons yesterday will be exempt from
paying penalty even though the
application does not arrive in tue
Secretary of States office for sever
al days, Mr.. Holm said. However, the
envelope must bear the post mark OF
April to makes these applicants
immune to penalty charges. 49,.
Mr.. Holm SUGGESTS that officers ot
the various municipalities throughout
the state should not arrest owners
whose cars do not bear the 1923 tags,
because it will take at least couple
Of weeks before auto tags can be re-
turned to the applicants who filed
within the time limit. The law,
however. specifically states that the
owner or driver is subject to arrest
after April /.
Mr.. Holm said this is entirely to
the discretion Of the officers but
hopes they will withhold arrestins
any one until several weeks elapse,
because it is only fair that those who
applied for their license within the
time limit be given sufficient time to
obtain their. plates. 1t is impossible
to return plates imm ediately on FL
those residing in outlying communi-
ties
