Cow Testing Pays, Records Show

That COW testing pays substantial
returns is shown ~conclnsiv"Iy by re
cords for five years compiled by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. In three well-managed asso.
Citations in Michigan, Ohio and Penn,
sylvania the average butterfat pro.
duction per COW has increased notice
ably every year. The first year the
average production of butterfat was
237 pounds; second year, 255 pounds;
third year, 278; fourth yeal, 292: and
fifth, 305 pounds. At the end Of this
period the average cow in these herds
was yielding 68 more pounds of fat
than the average at the beginning of
the testing. At forty Genus a pound
this increase of fat would have a
value Of 1920 per COW, and a herd
of 20 cows would bring in $544 more
than.at the beginning.

Justice is the Goal Of Civilization

Virtue finds its truest expression In justice. Liberty and. equality
are empty words unless they rest upon justice which at all times is the
true principle for humanity. ScgU'&.c liberty or equality from justice
and neither can stand. The passion OF all greG. l4Ophets throughout
all ages has been tor Justice
1t is the onew0Yd definition Of the Golden Rule. It was not only
the basis Of the teachings Of Jesus but of all great religious seers and
prophets. Each in his turn aud tine and in his own way said the same
thing. Confucius Rt it: WHAT do not wish men to do to lie also
wish not to do to them"
Justice is virile; it is never passive or Indifferent. 1t is the truth
in action. Justice may be violent; it is always violent to the II who
onends it. We may prize success, cOyet wealth, seek honor, but none
OF these al satisfy unless they come through justice
He is great who, for Justices sake. can forget friends, kin, seHinter-
est-an-tO fight for or to work for that which is right for another, a
stranger perhaps. o even an enemy. We cannot secure justice for our
selves through denying justice to others. 1t is not in the order of things,
for justice is consistent impartial and always fair.
Though justice is impartial it is not blind. Science is governed by
its laws.
The nation that loves liberty most sincerely and that fights only for
human Justice is seldom found in the brutal entanglcnents of war and
then only III a henigDant war made holy by the passion for Justice The
nation that covets property and men. that seeks to enrich Itself by devas-
tating its neighDOr. is found most often in the thrOcS of war and then
for the shameful and unsatsfying end Of boldly defying justice. And
IS with nations SO with men. Such nations come to no good end.
Justice" said Daniel Webster, "s the greatest interest OF MAI IN
earth. 1t is the lgament which holds civilized beings ana cyKtzeS
nations together
Happiness and progress are secured only when justice IS hc-ored.

For four years the United States
Department of Agriculture has made
extensive Investigations of the meth
DDS and costs of f~attening beef eat
tie. in the corr belt, specifically in
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and
Nebraska. During each of the four
years practically 100 feeding records
for separate farms have been taken

for each year represent the results

Another year will complete this inves-
tigation, which should yield valuable
