Champion Cow is
Producer of 1916
Lbs. Fat Yearly

The world has a new champion but
ter fat producer. She is a Canadian
Holstein and has a years record of
30,SS6 pounds of milk and 1345
pounds of fat.
Agassiz Segis May Echo is five
year old COW; as a two-year old she
produced 1892 pounds of milk and
673.6 pounds of butter fat (S2
pounds of butter) in year. Now
she has exceeded the world record
made by Bella Pontiac, also a Can.
adam Holstein, by 90 pounds fat
and 1859 pounds milk. Most of the
| world s cows have been satisfied
with less than the amount of fat
produced by Agassiz Segis when she
| was but a two-year old but she has
been doing better every year until
she now stands supreme as a butter
producer.
The champion gave 16 times her
own weight in milk and almost her
own weight in butter during the
year, and yet she has been COM
fortably putting on flesh all the
time and weighs about a hundred
pounds more now than when she
went on test. On the day of her
best production she ate 165 pounds
of pulped mangels and 81 pounds of
grain besides corn silage and hay.
On that day she gave 1919 pounds
| of milk.

COTTON Is BEST
FROM GOOD SEED,
US. TESTS SHOW
Commercial Cotton Seed
Shows Up Bad; Acala
Leads Varieties

Purebred strains of superior vari
cites of cotton are more desirabl,
from spinning standpoint than cot
ton produced from commercial seed
which is usually mixture of 8
number of varieties containing by
birds of widely varying characters
tics, series OF spinning tests re
Gently conducted by the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, United
States Department Of Agriculture
shows.
The tests were made to determine
the relative spinning value Of cot
ton commercially thought to be of
superior character with that of q
number of pure strains of superior
Varieties of cotton. The varieties
tested were Acala, Lone Star, Mex
lean Big Boil, Rowden and typical
North Georgia, all having been
grown under. boll-weevil conditions
in the Southeastern cotton states
during the 1921 season. There was
some difference in the grade and
length of staple of the varieties but
proper allowances for these condi-
tions were made IN drawing con-
illusions All of the cottons were
tested under identical mechanical
conditions.
After allowances were made for
the difference in the length of
staple, the tests showed that the
yarns made from the purebred vari-
cites Acala and Mexican Big Boil
were strongest, the strength of these
yarns being equal. Lone Star and
Rowden yarns came second, these
two being equal. The yarns from
the typical North Georgia cotton,
the product of commercial seed, WINS
weakest. The yarns made from the
different varieties we're practically
equal iW evenness. Arranged in order
of evenness EFF AtsepgtA.. Lone Star
heads the list, Acf1a and typical
North GeorgiessrssA o9ds&
third and Mexican Big Boil last.
The grades, lengths of staple, per-
centages of visible waste, strengths
Of the yarns, and percentages of
average deviation or irregularity of
the sizings and strengths indicate
that for hard twisted or warp yarns
the varieties tested if placed in
order of their merit and attractive
ness from a spinner's viewpoint
would fall in the following rank:
l.--Acala, Mexican Big Boil;
equal. .e
2-Lone Star, Rowden; equal.
3.-Typical North Georgia.

SPEAKING FOR THE FARMER

We make a motion that the Farm
Bureau and some of the other ma
tional farm organizations adopt
some system of referendum by
means of which they may, without
too much expense or delay, find out
the real views of the men on the
farms before they venture to speak
with authority on "what the farmer
stands for
When Howard committed the
Farm Bureau to the ship subsidy, for
instance, there was more t;ian reas-
enable doubt as to whether the rank
and file of the members, of the or
ganization agreed with him. And the
leaders who are now advocating a
more liberal immigration policy
may be mistaken in thinking that
the majority of farmers want the
doors opened wider to the incoming
tides from Europe. Anybody can
guess what the farmer wants, but
the man who undertakes to stand up
in meeting and speak for the six
million fellows back on the land
might conceivably make the wrong
guess. At any rate, he has a good
deal of crust.-Farm Life.

bell Hobby Horse to know that
we now are incorporating a CON-
pany to manufacture the same. A
gentleman from Imperial came to
see me yesterday. Mr.. Barker
was dangerously sick but talked
to him for few minutes. They
offer us a lot $50 TT. square, 3
blocks from the center of town

us absolutely free and take stock
in our company for payment. The
property is all free and clear.
They will build the factory for
us. 1t remains for you people of
Ell Centre to say whether we
shall go there or stay here. If
you are interested and wish to
buy stock and help us organize
this company, call and see us be-
fore Friday as Mr.. Barker has
an appointment with them on

that time, as he is now able to
sit up a few hours at a time.

American varieties. Large fowls
like the Asiatics have about five
square feet of floor space per head.
Where the house is especially well
ventilated the fowls may be crowd
ed somewhat more with safety.
The smaller the unit is made, the
more space proportionately will
have to be allowed for each fowl,
that is, house with 400 square feet
floor space will provide ample room
for 100 fowls, yet only 200 square
feet floor space will not be as sat
isfactory for SO fowls.
When the house is too small for
the flock, special care must be tax
en- to keep the walls and floor ex-
ceptionally clean.
Poultry houses are made of all
kinds of material, but more are
made of frame construction than
any other kind, partly because such
house can be easily erected by the
average person and partly because
wood provides good insulator
against the weather. Dryness in a
poultry house is essential and free
dom from moisture depends consid-
erably on ventilation.

Go pounds of bran TO the mix
ture of A. and B. stirring well. The
mash should be wet but crumbly. If
too wet add little more bran; if too
dry little more water. Put small
lump about the size of a small pranc

long silver of wood to distribute the
mash and put it out in the afternoon

LIVE STOCK SHOW
BIGGEST AND BEST
FOR MANY YEARS
Champion Steer Sold for
SIPS LIB. to Armour
Company

From the standpoints of both
producers and purchasers of meat
animals, the last International Live
Stock. Exposition, held at Chicago
was the most successful show OF its
kind ever held.
The cattle exhibit was bigger and
better than ever and "a carloads of
prize beef were absorbed by the ex-
position. The handling and distri-
button of such quantities of prize
beef broke all existing records.
In sheep classes the breeding ex-
hibits were of high quality, but
the shortage of sheep and lambs in
the country was definitely reflecteda
in the limited number of carloads
exhibited.
The hog show was superior, show
ing the results Of a definite attempt
or the part of the show management
to limit the swine show to weights.
and ages desirable for the market.
Progress in that direction will be
slow but it begins to seem that the
desired results will soon be achieved.
Champion from Kentucky
Considerable interest always att
taches to the grand champion steer
of the International, it being tradi-
tionally considered the show animal
of the exposition. The 1922 grand
champion steer was Chenoweth Jock,
owned by w. j. and ID. A. Thomas
Of Chenoweth Farms, Shelbyville,
kentucky. The prize steer was Is.
months old and was bought by Ara
mour and Company for the account
of the Congress Hotel. The grand
| champion sold for $1.25 q pound
and after being slaughtered at the
Plant of Armour and Company,
. dressed ont 704.1 pounds of beef,
, having weighed 1,0l0 pounds when
alive. This is said to be the high
est dress out on record, and was es-
pecially remarkable as evidence of
| the greater returns which the pro-
Queer obtains for his investments in
well bred beef cattle, which put on
weight rapidly enough to permit
marketing in the yearling class.
