based on this code. A typical example
of the questions submitted to such
tribunals Is the following: III lady

Rooms and Meals for Fair Week

The annual fair of the Somerset
Central Agricultural Society is to oc-
cur on Tuesday. Wednesday. Thurs
day and Friday. September 9, 10, Il

many people to town who are strang-
ers or infrequent visitors. 1t is W
to us to see that they are made wei
come and give them such attention
as will make them feel at home and
send them away with pleasant
memory of Somerset Coupty's Shire
town and its big annual show.
One problem is that of housing
OF course the hotels are always over
flowing with guests. Oftentimes a
man coming on fair week, without
advance reservation, is much troubled
to find room.
There are many homes with vacant
rooms that can be made available
during the fair week, greatly to the
comfort of the visiting public and tC
the reasonable profit of the house
holder. The MISREPRESENTATION
will be glad to cooperate in this mat
ter and will give free publicity tC
all those who wish to let rooms OF
take mealers during fair week. We
must ask you to consider our con
venience and to send in your report
by mail. Please DO NOT call us
by telephone. We wish to be accom-
modating but perhaps 1t is only rea'
sonable to expect you to send youl
information in a way that will be the
most convenient for us. A postal
card will do the trick. Give your
name and your location by the street
and number Gf possible) and you may
add. IL you see fit, the price you pro
pose to charge and any further des-
cription of the accommodations you
have to offer. This information will
be published in several editions of the

WORLDS RECORD FOR JUNIOR 2.
YEAR OLD JERSEYS
BROKEN
Raleigh's TOrono's Meme Produces
902.1i Pounds Butter Fat and Be-
comes Worlds Champion

The worlds record in the Jersey
Junior two-year-old class has been
broken by Raleighs Torono's Meme
544207, and new and higher stand
ard of production has been establish
ed for heifers of the Jersey breed.
This was accomplished by the new
champion in an official 1853 day test
which has just been completed.
In this test Raleigh's Torono's Me
me produced 902.15 pounds of butter
fat and i6,0S5 pounds of milk. start
ing test at two years, five months of
age. Her record sheet shows that
for eight months of the test she
yielded in excess of seventy pounds
OF butterfat per month. and that she
reached the peak of production in the
sixth month, when she produced 1902
pounds of butter-fat. Her milk av-
eraged 5.61 percent, butter fat for the
year.
Meme is an excellent individual,
we'll grown, strong and vigorous,
with plenty of capacity and quality.
She finished in splendid condition
and at no time was she off her feed.
Feeding was carefully taken care Of,
but no unusual ration was fed. The
grain ration was prepared in advance
and fed Immediately before milking.
Milking was done very regularly and
Meme was usually found to be wait
ing at the door of her stall for the
mixer. Eighteen pounds of the fol-
lowing mixture was fed daily.
$50 pounds ground oats, 200 pounds
wheat bran, $50 pounds oil meal, so
pounds cotton seed meal, 100 pounds
gluten feed, 100 pounds hominy feed,
Is pounds salt. pounds mineral mix
ture.
This feed was mixed with wet beat
pulp. About thirty-fve pounds of
silage was fed daily. and alfalfa hay
was before her at all times, but she
did not eat great deal of it. Green
corn and kale were fed in season.
With her record of 902.15 pounds of
butter-fat, Meme displaces Pearly
Exile St Lambert 205101, the Oregon
COW which has held this junior two
yearold championship since the
year 1910. The former champions
record was S161O pounds of butter

Poultry Is a Yearly Crop

Poultry now a days can be consi
dered about the same as yearly
crop and since the laying hens art
kept mostly only for one year ant
then are disposed OF to be replaced
by new crop of pullets. In pro
ducing this new crop OF pullets there
must necessarily be raised also al
equal number of cockerels and the re.
placing Of the old hens means large
amount of poultry to be put on the
market throughout the summer
months. This poultry can be dis
posed of either dressed or alive bnl
the question which has been upper
most in the poultryman's mind Is
which way will it bring in the most
money.
Throughout the past year the ex-
tension service of the College OF Agri-
culture conducted no less than twelve
demonstrations to determine this fact
These demonstration were held at a
poultryman's place and "a hens OF
cockerels were used for the demons
tration. In order to make an actual
comparison these birds were weighed
in the pen, the flock was divided and
IL of them were shipped alive. The
other II were dressed. packed in a
box and shipped to the same market
on the same day and the results, In
the way of returns. were compared
Incidentally, of course those present
learned how to stick and dry pick
poultry and how to pack them ready
for shipment. The results were in
teresting and significant. The poul-
fhnCp q.
trations received 20 to 30 cents more
per bird for those shipped dressed
than for those shipped alive. With
broilers there was difference of lit
tie more than cents a pound in ia
vor of the dressed birds.
These demonstrations do not only
show whether it would be advisable
to ship The birds dressed rather than
alive but it showed how much 1t cost
to ship birds either way so that one
could determine the advisability oil
shipping birds to the Boston market
or selling them locally. 1t was found
that it cost approximately 6 cents pei
pound based on the pen weight tc
ship birds dressed and approximately
4 cents per pound alive.
AS a result of these demonstrations
many of the poultrymen who witness
ed them are taking advantage of the
greater returns by dressing their poul-
try.
The extension service has arranged
for a considerable number of these
demonstrations to be held in the vari-
Gus counties of the state this summer
and fall so that an opportunity will
he given to larger number of poul-
trymen to determine the difference tC
be gained in the two methods of mar
keting.

A GREAT GUERNSEY PRODUCER
400 Pounds OF Butterfat from one
Cow and Seven Daughters

We are told that the average dairy
COW produces about six living calves
in her lifetime. From a compare
tive standpoint, then, the great re-
producing record that has been made
by the purebred Guernsey COW, Pride
of Birth 1S443 is worthy of note in
these columns. Not only has this
COW produced eleven living calves
of which eight were females, but she
and her progeny have made a list OF
fourteen advanced register records to-
falling 7399.95 pounds of butterfat.
Pride of Birth 1S443 has two rec
ords. including one of 129435 pounds
of milk and 641.12 pounds of butter
fat as a mature COW. Seven of her
eight daughters also have at least
one advanced register record. and the
other is now on test. One of her
daughters, Pride of Castle Haven
259Sl. has three daughters and one
son in the advanced register. An
other daughter Pride of Place 222S4
also has three daughters and one son
in the advanced register

Potatoes Look Good

Potatoes in Somerset County are
looking exceptionally we'll and are
setting on in good shape. The farm
ers. who have planted improved pota-
toe seeds, feel that their yield will
probably be an excellent one. The
corn is looking much better due to
the late rains and and excellent
crop is probable. barring early frosts
A number of potato roguing demon
strations have been conducted during
the past week under the direction of
County Agent Dunn. Among these
have been demonstrations at the
farms of Elmer Quimby and Glenn
Ring in Cambridge; in Harmony at
Bert Folsom's and the Kenney farms;
in St. Adams at Elmer Baird's and in
Palmyra at the Dyer and Randall
farms, at o. r. Merchant's and at
James Robinsou's. There are some
especially fine potato fields in the
eastern part Of the county.
