600, increased in 1922 to 1926
1874, an increase of $20,740,134.
Mikado engines, which in 1910
cost $4,000 each, cost $4,000 in
1922; and during the same period
the Pacific type of, engine increased
from $4,000 to 100000.
In 1912 the company was paying
$3.50 for box cars, which in 1922
cost $3.50; $1,000 for refrigerator
cars now sellings for $500; and
$1,000 for gondola cars which now
cost $3.50. Automobile cars in 1912
cost $1,000, now $4,000. Standard
passenger coaches have gone up from
$1,000 to $4,000, baggage cars
from $500 to $4,000. And so with
all things purchased in connection
with operating the road-prices have
doubled and trebled.
And while net earnings have been
diminishing, taxes have mounted at
an unprecedented rate. In 1917,
after paying operating expenses, the
company had left $34,927,000 out
of which it paid taxes of $7,203,316.
In 1922 it had left $23,421,335 out
of which it paid $8,365,470 in taxes.

Sank Centre Dairymen
Receive Ribbons of Merit
Eleven Cows in Cow Testing Associa-
ton Qualify for Recognition by
we'll Known Farm Paper

Eleven cows in the Sank Centre
Cow Testing Association, of which
Harold Bachtold was the tester, have
qualified for ribbons of merit issued
by Northwest Farmstead, Mime
apolis. Seven of them are grades
which, having made more than 265
pounds of fat during the years test,
will receive the "pound-a-day" rib
bons of merit.
Beline, Bell and Dorothy, Brown
Swiss cows owned by E. P. Minette
and Son of Sank Centre, win 600
pound-a-day ribbons, having produc-
ed 948.3, 664.4 and 6O8.3 pounds of
fat respectively. i.
A 500-pound ribbon goes to Min
cite & Son for the production of an
other Brown-Swis, Tabby, who pro-
duced 546.4 pounds of fat during the
test year.
Mrs. w. M. Jennison of Sank Gen.
ire receives four Of the pound-a-day
ribbons, her grade Holsteins having
produced more than pound of but
terfat a day during the year. Polly
produced 475.1; Celia, $685.; Bonde,
1865 and Jenny made 1901.
J. M. Pendroy, w. H. Parker and
D. B. Caughren, all of Sank Centre,
will each receive pound-a-day rib
bon. Mr.. Pendroy's grade Jersey,
Deyoe, made 394.4; Mr.. Parker's
Jersey, Model, made 367; Mr.. Caugh-
ren's grade Holstein. Sally, made
1928 pounds of fat.
By means of COW testing associa-
tons, many valuable and high pro-
ducing cows have been saved from
the butcher as the association records
have disclosed their capacities, which
otherwise would have gone unrecog-
nized. By the same means, boarder
cows, perhaps of excellent appear
ance but really producing less than
the cost of their feed and care, have
been eliminated from heards to the
profit of their owners. The cost to
each dairyman, in an association for
testing his entire herd during the
year averages between $500 and
$500 per month
The average COW In Minnesota, IN
Guiding grades and purebreds, pro-
duces 166 pounds Of butterfat a year.
So it will be seen that a pound-a-day
COW produces more than twice as
much as the average and 500 pound
a-year cow produces three times as
much as the average Minnesota COW.
The fact that eleven cows in this
association have qualified for these
ribbons indicates the adaptibility of
Stearns County to dairying. 1t also
indicates the ability as breeders and
feeders of the men who have succeed
ed in winning these ribbons. It is also
a testimonial to the ability of the
tester whose advise and council in
matters of feeding and care are part
of the service he renders.
