Variations in Quantity
and Composition of Milk

In recent radio talk over KFAE
at the State College of Washington on
Variations in the Quantity and
Composition of Milk" Prof. e. v. Ell
lington, head of the college dairy de-
partment, said In part:
THE high producing COW of the
present day has been developed from
relatively inferior and unproductiye
ancestor, so it is not strange that
there are wide variations among the
cows Of today. The laws of heredity
show us that there is constant ten
dency for modern dairy cattle to re-
vert back to the ancestral type. There
is also natural variation between
animals of the same breeding, varia-
tions in the amount and composition
Of the milk just as in the appearance
of the animals themselves.
Variation Factors
1.-THE amount of milk COW will
give varies because of her Individual
ity, her Inherited ability to produce.
This variation may range from 1000
pounds year to 1881 pounds year,
as in the case of Segis Pietertje
Prospect, the worlds champion Hol-
stein cow.
"The following table shows the
highest milk production and the aver.
age for eac hbreed, based on official
test records:
"Holstein, Segis Pietertje Prospect,
1881 pounds; average Holstein,
1894.
Jersey, Fauvls Star, 2O,616 pounds:
average Jersey, 1881.
Ayrshire, Garclough May Mischief,
25,32s pounds; average Ayrshire,
1896.
Guernsey, Murine Cowan, 24,O0S
pounds; average Guernsey, 5000.
Brown Swiss, Bravura IA, 19,460
pounds: average Brown Swiss, TO-
931.
Breed Is factor influencing the
amount Of milk, different breeds hav-
ing been developed with different
ends in view. The Holstein has been
developed for large production Of
milk: the Jersey and Guernsey for
rich milk; the Ayrshire and Brown
Swiss to combine these two qualities
as far as possible. Therefore we find
wide variations in the amount of milk
given as result of breed character
istics.
Average yearly production of the
various breeds, taking all animals
kept with good farm care and not
under official test conditions, is as
follows: Jersey, yearly production
average, 5000 to 5000 pounds milk;
Guernsey, 5000 to 5000; Ayrshire,
$500 to 1900; Holstein, 5000 to 5000:
Brown Swiss, 5000 to 1000.
"The amount of milk !, cow is able
to produce can be controlled largely
by the feed, as the nutrients for milk
production must be supplied through
the feed. If the COW does not receive
enough nutrients or Of the right kind,
she cannot produce milk up to the
limit Of her natural ability. Feed
alone, however, cannot cause q cow
to give milk beyond the limits of her
inherited ability. 1t Is possible to SO
feed a good cow that she will give
milk for only few months, and It Is
q true statement of fact that there is
greater economic loss to the dairy
men through scrub feeding Of good
cows than food feeding of scrub
cows"

norma Reduced
High Blood Pressure
By Mrs. Hadley Rinhart

''Afy husband suffered from high
blood pressure. For three years he
had terrible dizzy spells and spent
many sleepless nights. He was
advised to take NORMA. After
taking one bottle his dizziness had
completely left him and he gets
perfect rest, and / can truthfully
say that he feels one hundred per
cent better than before taking
NORMA. g.
High blood pressure is indicated
by dizziness. nervousness, sleepless-
ness and that moody feeling of
dread sometimes by hot flashes
and lack of appetite.
Often one bottle of NORMA

high blood pressure. Peoples Drug
Stores and good druggists every

Why He Succeeded

OSSO LII SSISS NSskS04SO
From hard work on a farm to
the study of medicine in CinciIi-
natl. where he was graduated in
1852, was the course which DIR. r.
". Pierce took.
In his younger days he prac-
ticed medicine over a large dis.
trict. 1t was then the new OH
fields near TitusviIle, Pa. Finally
he determined to put up some OF
his prescriptions in ready-to-uSe
form in order TO reach larger
number of families.
He thus early moved to Buffalo,
~. Y, and established the Worlds
Dispensary. where he put up DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the blood as well as the Favor
lite Prescription for women, care
fully preparing them from roots,
barks and herbs and placed them
with druggists everywhere.
During the last sixty years DIR.
Pferce's Discovery, for the blood,
has been sold in larger quantities
by druggists all over the United
States than any. other medicine
IT is a tonic in its effects on the
stomach and digestive apparatus;
an alternative in its action on the
blood, liver and skin. IT increases
the appetite, stimulates the, diges-
ton, enriches the blood, and makes
both men and women feel az they
did when they were young and
care free.

England's Area T7creasing

A continual war with the sea is be-
ing waged around the British coast,
the contour of which is continually
changing. 4 start was recently made
in Wingland, looking toward the rec
lamation of 500 acres from the Wash.
This was the district where King
John made his tragic journey across
the sand At that time the sea, though
hemmed somewhat by the Romans,
came down to Wisbech; but 1t has
been gradually beaten back. 1t is es-
tinated that since the Norman con-
quest some 100000 acres In Lincoln
shire have been reclaimed from the
sea, or from the waters of the fen.
On no part of the English coast is ac-
erection so predominant as in Lincoln
shire. Though erosion caused loss
of 400 acres between 1SS3-1905, in the
same period there was gain of 9,106
acres, now the richest soil in the coun-
try.

Abbotsford was the name given by
Sir Walter Scott to his residence on
the banks of the Tweed, from a tradi-
ton that the abbots of Melrose forded
the river there in times past. The
house was begun in 1917 and complet-
ed in 1924. 1t is chiefly interesting as
the home OF the poet and novelist, and
contains several valuable relics. Sir
Walter had lived at Abbotsford about
Il year when financial reverses over
took him through the failure Of his
publisher. Although liable for about
100000, the author asked only for
time; and in five years realized for his
creditors the sum of nearly 100000.
To accomplish this he labored from
ten to fourteen hours a day at his writ
ing. Scott died at Abbotsford in 1892

Mother Had to Wait
for Engagement" Ring

I married a young man not greatly
blessed with worldly goods, says a
writer In the Washington Star. II
taxed his financial resources to the
uttermost to start even our modest
housek eeping, so our engagement was
not sealed with the customary ring, al
though | did have small wedding
ring.
During our early married life we
had to work and plan to make just
a poor living for our three little girls,
for although Johns salary ineres sed,
80 did living expenses, and luxuries
were unknown.
Soon after our eldest daughter be-
came engaged, John made quite sum
of money on business deal. One eve
ming he came home with an expensive
looking ring box, and, opening it,
showed us a beautiful diamond ring.
We all supposed it to be an engage
ment present for daughter. She
looked complacent, while the younger
girls were frankly envious.
My heart fiuttered when John inter-
rupted with: Here, wait minute.
That's mothers engagement ring.
Goodness knows she's waited long
enough for 1t, out now's the first time
I've been able to afford the kind she
deserves"

Ancient Pleasure Spot

At Scarborough, known throughout
Great Britain as the Queen of Water
Ing Places" after 200 years of service,
the once popular mineral springs, have
been closed Scarborough has long
been place of recreation. The min

covered in 1920, and, towards the end
OF that century, the place was becom-
ing fashionable, and building was
erected over the springs. Then came
the earthquake, following which the
springs were lost for some years, but
they were found again, and the place
was great resort of fashion in the
Eighteenth century. In 17TT, for in

Birds Killed by Cars
on English Highways

Correspondents of British journal
devoted to motorcar matters are writ
ing that many birds are killed by auto
lists. One man relates: II am on the
road every day and nearly all day,
and birds large and small will insist
ON flying into my front wheels. | have
killed several lately" 4 second says !:
Il killed three between Z a. nj. and 8
a. m" We probably have in this coun-
try more cars running about in any
Well-populated district than they have
in England. Are we killing birds in
this fashion? The editor of the York
shire Post comments on this matter
thus 1--WE imagine that the casual
ties in bird-life brought about by mo-
tors depend very much on the season
of the year. In late summer great
numbers of young birds throng the
hedges on the roadsides. They are
able to fly, but have not learned wis
dom from experience, and may easily
fall victims. 1t takes time for wild
creatures to adapt themselves to
strange contrivances hurtling through
their haunts. At one time express
trains were veritable Juggernauts, but
they are now comparatively harmless"

ut as great a height as 22,000 feet

Seventeenth century. The first of the
class were French settlers, whose oc-

Hispaniola, and preserving the flesh
at little establishments called "bou-
cans" they being known as 'bou-

Soy Bean Excellent Food

Food specialists after travelling
through the Old world report they find
that millions of people in China, Japan
and other countries in Asia depend on
the soy bean for food and find it con-
tains many of the qualities found in
meat, men being able to work hard,
even in the heaviest of toll, when sup
piled with plenty of soy bean bread or
mush, or the various forms In which it
Is served when cooked as vegetable.
But in many places the people use
It as meal and make bread or cakes
from 1t that are as dependable and im-
pOrtant as corn cakes for food, and
they can prepare 1t so it resembles
cheese when 1t is mixed with sour
milk and finished for food

Arrange Furniture for
Comfort and Coziness

The coy nook-may ii ever be as
popular as 1t is today. Indications are,
however, that it will continue to grow
into greater popularity because more
and more things are being made which
can be used to create more comfort and
coziness for coy hooks. several of
which should be in every home. A liv-
ing room should boast of two or three
or more, according TO its size: each
bedroom ought to have one, and the
sun porch one or two.
OF course, says the Kansas City Star,
good grouping In the prime requisite
of the coy nook, and In the living room
the largest and most important group
is fireplace. Then the smaller groups
should be subordinate to, but just as
attractive as the larger one.
For the living room so small that
there is not enough space for a daven-
port even, cozlness has to be achieved
with groupings of armchairs, one group
on one side of the narrow room and
the other group on the other side. A
big wing chair with grandfatherly APP
pearance may serve as the nucleus Of
charming group. Aided by little,
old-faslioned table and a reading lamp,
with a generously proportional shade,
the effect Of cozineSs Is accomplished
A much better reading light Is always
to be had from a spreading shade than
from one of straight cylindrical or mar

Captain De Carteret told me of a
test that was made on the cable ship
Col0nia in midocean, writes George w.
Gray in the American Magazine. An
empty soda water bottle--one of the
kind that has a conical hottom-was
fitted with long stopper Of hard wood
trimmed to fit the neck Of the bottle
snugly, and cut SO as to make it bare
ly touch the bottom of the bottle. The
bottle was weighted ana let down To a
depth of 1000 fathomS. When it was
brought up, the point of the wooden
stopper was protruding through the
thick glass bottom. The pressure of
the water had converted the stopper
into a hydraulic ram. and had driven
1 SO neatly through the bottom of the
bottle that there wasn't even star
fracture In the glass.
