Getting more milk from fewer cows
Is the aim of the COW testing asso-
citation. Hundreds of cases have dem
onstrated in a most striking manner
that the wedding out Of non-produc-
tive milk cows and better care for
the producing members of the milk
herd pay big dividends.
This point was strongly stressed in
an exhibit at the international Dairy
Exposition held at indianapolis last
October. An actual instance was
given which disclosed the following
facts.
A milk producer had herd Of six
milk cows producing $4,000 pounds
of milk annually. He Joined a COW
testing association. The first step
taken was to weed out the non-pro-
ductive cows, that is, those cows
yielding insufficient milk to net a
profitable income over and above
feed cost.
The wedding out process left only
four cows in the milk herd. But
these remaining cows were fed ac-
cording to their individual require
ments. No sanitary or beneficial
feeding measure was neglected. Dur
ing stabling months, they were given
plenty of clean bedding; stables were
kept clean; the long hair on tanks
and udders were kept clipped. The

awarded annually throughout the Bell
Telephone System for acts of out
standing courage. resourcefulness or
devotion to duty on the part of tele-
phone employees. The medal award
ed to Atkins is of silver and is &C.
companied by cash award of $3.50.
Aroused at five o'clock on the morn
ing of the food and warned of i'm
pending danger, Atkins fastened at
once to the Piedmont central Office,
near the river and in the center OF
the flood zone. Here he rescued valu-
able company property at the river
edge and, at about P. M, returned
to his home, which was also in the
flooded area, just in time to rescue
his family, but too late to save any
of his personal effects.
Mr.. Atkins at once returned to the
central office and assisted in bringing
three operators from the building,
which was then. surrounded by water
waist deep.
Remaining on duty continuously
from Saturday morning until Tuesday
evening, Atkins saw his family for
the first time after rescuing them at
the outbreak of the flood. He could
have rendered great service to them
by remaining with them, and could
undoubtedly have saved a consider

DON'T EXPOSE THE CHILDREN
TO CATCHING" DISEASES

If you want the Riddles in your
house to stay well, keep them away
from other children who have
coughs, colds, measles, mumps,
whooping cough, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, or any other catching"
disease, is the advice OF DR.. j. II.
Knox, Jr,, Chief of the Bureau OF
Child Hygiene of the Maryland State
Department OF Health,
We hear great DEAL" he said,
"about the Importance of protecting
school children from communicable
diseases, and it is important, but
few people realize that it is just as
vital to protect the babies and the
other children who are too young to
go to school.
"a great many people still have
the old notion that children are go
ing to have these diseases any way,
so they may as well get them and
have it over. The truth of the mat
ter is that these diseases are much
more dangerous rule-for the
very young child than for the older
boys and girls, and more apt to end
fatally. Two out of every three of
the deaths from measles, scarlet
fever, and diphtheria, occur among
children under five. In the case
of whooping cough, our records show
that nine out of every ten deaths
from that disease occur among
children under five.
Measles, In particular, is apt to
be spoken of lightly, when it really
is to be regarded as wolf in sleeps
clothing. It is especially dangerous
for the babies and children under
three, and ordinarily it is least
dangerous for the children between
five and fifteen years old. 1t is
twenty-five times as fatal for babies
under a year old as it is for the
four year-olds,-an it is nearly
fifty times as fatal for the babies
under a year old as it is for the
children between five and nine.
Even when it is not Immediately
fatal, it is likely to leave a trait
of bad after-effects. IT frequency
opens the way for eye and ear
troubles and often is relieved by
pneumonia. Instead or regarding
the disease lightly, every precaution
should be taken-especially when
other children in the family or in
the neighborhood have the disease
to safeguard the little ones and to
keep them from catching it,
Against one serieua infectious
disease-diphtheFi have a de-
finite means ar protection-toxi
antitoxin and physicians and health
officers all agree that all young
children, beginning with the year
old babies, should be given this
protective treatment,
Another catching disease, that
is particularly hard on the babies
and very little children and from
which they should be carefully safe
guarded is the so-ealled common

more dangerous for the little chill
dren than for the older ones. The
little children cannot get rid of the
infectious material in the throat and
often these persistent colds lead to
broncho-pneumonia and to other
diseases.
There are two ways of protect
ing the children from all of these
catching diseases.
First: Develop their resistance
to disease, by intelligent care, paying
special attention to food, fresh air
and plenty OF rest,
