Dairymen Seeing Value
of Herd Improvement

An encouraging report comes to us
from the Canton penny Dairy Herd
Improvement association. 1t states
that on account Of low prices for the
product the dairymen are even more
interested than ever in testing and
eliminating the improbable animals.
This is exactly the attitude that the
dairymen should take. Too often
herd improvement association is
looked upon as means of getting
high records in order to sell cows or
their offspring at higher price. There
is nothing wrong with this idea. How
ever, the real purpose Of dairy herd
improvement associations Is to help
the member make more money from
the cows he milks through the estab-
lishment Of bookkeeping system. For
that reason the lower the production
in herd and the less the profit the
more the dairyman needs the bene-
fits which can come from testing his
cows and keeping records on them.
That means that herd improvement
associations are needed more right
now even than when prices are good.

Summer Feeding Important

Care and feeding of cows during
the summer months has direct bear
ing on the next winters production.
This is shown by the experience of
Johnson county Uowa) Herd Improve
ment association member. says a
writer in Successful Farming.
He did not feed grain to cows on
pasture in the summer of 1929. Then
when he took the cows off pasture
and started winter feeding, he noticed
they were run down in flesh and that
their milk production did not come
up to what it should. The cows util-
lied the grain to build up their bodies.
Last summer the owner fed grain
mixture according to production
through the pasture season. The ra-
ton consisted of 500 pounds of corn
and cobmeal, 500 pounds of ground
oats, and 100 pounds Of high protein
concentrate. His cows were in good
condition when they came into the
winter feedlots and were able to in
crease production and give normal re-
Spouse to winter feeding and care.

Lice on Calves

During the winter season. the calf
is often infested with lice Under
such conditions, it cannot be thrifty,
as the lice sap the calf's vitality. Prob
ably the most efficient treatment for
lice is an application Of 2 per cent
solution of coal tar dip to all parts
Of the calf's body. Another treatment
in a week or ten days will usually
eliminate most of the trouble. This
treatment should be applied only when
the calf Is in warm place and can
be rubbed partly dry. During the
severe weather, mixture of equal
parts of kerosene and lard or a good
commercial louise powder will usually
control the lice. Thorough cleaning
and disinfecting of the calf shed will
help to control the lice.

The Giant of Virginia

ONE day in June of 1765 strange
~ ship dropped anchor near City
Point in Virginia. From it boat was
lowered to the water and idlers on
the wharf saw a small child being
handed over the side to the sailors
who manned the oars. When the boat
reached the dock the child was placed
ashore, then the boat turned and swift
ly made its way back to the ship
which Immediately weighed it's anchor
and sailed away. Thus did Peter
Francisco arrive on the shores Of the
land where he was to win fame.
Where he had come from, who his
lessly abandoned is still shrOuded in
mystery.
For a few days the little boy slept
In the warehouse by the wharves, de-
pending on kind-hearted strangers to
supply him with food. Then Judge
Anthony Winston Of Buckingham
came to City Point, heard of the or
phan, and took him home with him.
There he was living when the Revolu-
ton broke out.
Francisco, served valiantly at the
battle of Germantown and when Mad
Anthony Wayne storned Stony Point
he was the second man to scale the
wall. By this time Francisco was IA
nous through the Continental army
for his feats of great strength and his
utter fearlessness in battle. They
called him "the Giant Of Virginia" and
he carried a huge broadsword, five
feet long, which had been made for
him by the order of General Washing
ton. During the southern campaigns
Francisco was surprised at tavern
one day by party of cavalrymen
from the command of Col. Banastre
Tarleton. After surrendering, Peter
became so angry at his captors when
they tried to remove his shoe buckles,
which he specially priced, that he laid
about him with mighty strokes, and
dashed from the tavern. Nearby some
400 of Tarleton's troopers were sta
toned but when they started to cap
ture the fugitive he put up most
daring bluff, shouted to regiment of
Continental soldiers, which did not
exist except in his imagination, to
come to his assistance and caused the
British to flee.
But it was at the Battle of Guilford
Court House that he won his greatest
fame and visitors there today can see
tho mOnumpnt which marks the Mace
where "Peter Francisco, a giant Of in
credible strength, killed II British SOL
diers with his own broadsword, and al
though badly wounded by bayonet,
made his escape" 1t was at this bat
tie that Peter lost his purse containing
all the vouchers for service and he
never received full recognition for his
services from the government of Vir-
ginia. After the war he settled in
Virginia, was married three times and
died there In 1881.

LET SCALES TELL
THE COWS RATION
Feed According to Records,
and Save Money.

Science has double crossed the cow.
know how much feed they can feed
COW profitably; but first they must
know how much milk she gives and
what proportion of her milk is but
terfat. G. G. Bradt, of the New York
State College of Agriculture. who
supervises tie dairy record clubs, says
deirymen are using their record club
figures to lower the cos' of milk
Ralph Hallock Of Marathon, COrt-
land county, reports that he saved
SO cents 100 pounds on the cost of
producing milk, by reducing the
amount of feed according to the cows
records His low milking cows got
less grain and the better milking cows
got more grain, but he saved grain
and got more milk.
Rupert Bays of Virgil, another mem
Der of the record club, took some grain
away from his overfed low mixers
and gave 1t to the better mixers &C
cording to the amounts they gave.
He gained can of milk day with
out increasing the total amount of
feed used.
The new way of testing cows by
mail is becoming increasingly popu-
lar with New York state dairymen. Mr..
Bradt says. The charge is by the cow
rather than for the herd which makes
the test available to dairymen with
small herds. The testing is super
vised by the college of agriculture and
is done at regional laboratories at
Gowanda, Middletown, and Ithaca.
Several counties have county labora.

Printer and Patriot

IN the annals of Colonial journalism,
L the one outstanding figure is that of
Benjamin Franklin who, however, soon
deserted the print shop for the larger
theater Of world affairs. Every Amer
lean knows the name Of Franklin, but
how many of them know that of an
other printer and the part he played
in the cause of American freedom
stout old Alexander MacDougall?
MacDougall started life as sailor,
then took to the shore and the trade
of printer in New York. When the
trouble with the British government
over the stamp tax began in 1865,
he helped organize the Sons of Liberty
to resist oppression by the Mother
Country and soon became one of the
leaders in the movement. He again
rose to prominence in 1869 when the
New York provincial assembly, which
was predominantly Tory, passed
series of oppressive laws.
One morning New York city woke
up to find itself covered with hand
bills, denouncing the legislature for
these laws and calling for q mass
meeting to protest. At the meeting
resolutions which blistered the legis-
lators and asserted the rights of the
citizens were adopted. So the legis-
lature formally proclaimed the hand
bill as sedition and started search
for it's author. The man who printed
it became frightened and revealed the
fact that MacDougall was the author.
Immediately he was hailed into court
on a charge of seditious libel where he
defied the authorities, who thereupon
sentenced him to Jail. This not only
conferred upon him the distinction Of
being the first man to suffer imprison-
ment for the American cause, but is
also made him a hero in the eyes Of
the common people. They paraded in
front of the Jail, sang hymns under
his window, and in general they made
him the man of the hour. The au-
thorities, whose stupidity had not al
lowed them to foresee that putting
MacDougall into Jail would result in
q patriotic martyrdom, were soon glad
Of an excuse to let him out.
At the outbreak Of the Revolution
he raised a body Of troops, was made
commander of it and developed an un-
expected genius for military affairs
He superintended the removal of
Washington's army to the mainland
sitter the disastrous Battle Of Long
Island and distinguished himself in
various other ways later. He aided
in the escape of Haym Solomon from
New York after Solomon had been i'm
prisoned as a spy and he aided Kos
ciusko I'm fortifying the Highlands.
