vania the average butterfat production
per COW has increased noticeably
every year. The first year the aver
age production Of butterfat was 237
pounds; second year, 255 pounds; third
year, 278 fourth year, 292; and fifth,
3O5 pounds. At the end of this period
the average COW in these herds was
yielding 60 more pounds of fat than
the average at the beginning of the
testing. At 40 cents pound this in
crease of fat would have value Of
$27,20 per COW, and a herd of 20 cows
would bring in .$544 more than at the
beginning.

Practical Experiments
With Glass Nest EGGS

Some interesting experiments at the
Iowa State college proved that hens
like to lay in nest where there is
a nest egg. China or glass eggs helped
some, but were not so attractive to
the hens as ordinary hens eggs were,
On the other hand, wooden and plaster
of paris eggs were found better even
than hens eggs.
The experiment was worked out by
putting a flock of 40 pullets in large
pen with 16 nests, and putting one
Of each kind of nest egg in each of
four nests, shifting these around from
day to day and keeping a record of
the number of eggs laid in each nest.
It was carried over long period of
time

Feeding to Make Meat Is
Made Subject of Study

Experts of the United States De

studying the amount of food required
to make a pound of meat Their in
vestigations SO far have indicated that
it takes six pounds of grain and six
pounds of hay to produce one pound
of lamb live weight. Ten pounds Of
hay and ten pounds of corn will make
one pound of beef, while five and six
tenths pounds of corn will make one
pound of pork.

Fix Up Wire Fences and
Avoid Trouble From Cows

How are the fences? There is plenty
of time to tighten the wires, restaple
them where necessary, replace posts
that have rotted off, and get the fences
in good shape. The cows always find
the hole in the fence when every one
is busy putting up hay or cutting
wheat. Fix the fence now and avoid

Good Local Demand for Cows.

From the Sydney Referee we
take this clipping regarding queer
decisions:
1.-THE conversation turned on
peculiar decisions, and the Austria
liam section Of the assemblage re-
membered things. Bill Squires'
declaration that Rude Unholz and
Johnny Summers had fought q
draw knocked Rudie, who had
been badly Outpointed, all Of a
heap.
Bob Fitzsimmons refereed the
Dave Smlth-Arthur Grips fight
at the Stadium, and ruled the con.
test q draw in face Of the fact
that Dave held a substantial lead.
I would have given it to Cripps,'
Bob explained subsequently, If he
hadn't been knocked down in the
twentieth round Grips was not
knocked down. His fall was, as
plainly as could be, caused through
slipping or tripping. Smith never
hit him at the time.
"Griffo and his great and tena-
cious rival, Pluto, Of the best days
Of both those boxers, fought sew
enty rounds at the Melbourne
Athletic Club over thirty years
ago. Critic absolutely played
with the black from the tenth on.
Yet the referee sized the bout up
a draw.
"Billy Murphy met Ike Fake,
afterward one Of New Zealand's
referees, away back in 1887. Fake
was floored in the sixth round,
and because Murphy did not wheel
around Immediately and race back
to his corner, the fight was
stopped, and the verdict given
against him, but not till the next
day.
"Another notable delayed pro-
nouncement was when Frank
Payne and Dummy Mace opposed
each other at Newcastle. In the
fourteenth Payne fell, claiming
that he had been fouled. The
referee was sympathetic, but said
the breach was not deliberate.
This angered the spectators, and
the police interfered. A day or
two later the referee voiced his
verdict a draw through the news
papers,"
That Stopped Mr.. Brannick.
TN Ode BRANNICK, the we'll
known traffic manager of
the Giants, was taking an
English vaudeville performer
around town the other day wising
him up on spots and showing him
tall buildings and the like. Z
The gent from London, who had
never been in America before, got
quite thirsty after a bit and sug-
gested to Eddie that they stop and
knock over a few ales.
Eddie informed him that q gent
by the name Of Volstead had
passed bill forbidding the people
OF this liberty-loving land from

1t was all news to the actor and
caused him to giggle.

and his friend finally hit the
Battery, where Eddie proudly
pointed to the Statue Of Liberty
in the harbor.
