Only Records Can Bring
Dairyman Good Results

Without considering one factor, that
of selection or culling, a dairyman can
never expect to obtain better than
average results. He must continually
Gull out his poorest cows and select
his future herd from the offspring of
only his best cows. This can be done
only by keeping records of production,
income, and profit on each cow in the
herd year after year either through
private herd records or through mem
bersnip in a cow testing association or
some similar organization. That cow
testing associations are of great value
in increasing dairy profits is borne out
by the results secured in The Hamlin
County Cow Testing association. Dur
ing six years of testing, average fat
production per COW per year in
creased exactly 100 pounds In the
meantime average annual profit in
creased from S44 TO 500. an increase
of So per cow.-Dakota Farmer.

Shortage of Waterfowl
Shown in u. S. Survey

Washington.-A shortage of water
fowl is indicated in reports to the
United States biological survey.
Flights and concentrations in vari-
Gus sections of this country were gen.
orally smaller last fall than in previ-
Gus years, the survey reports. Short
ages were especially severe among
canvasbacks, redheads and lesser
scaups, birds whose breeding ranges
are largely in the northwest and in
the prairie provinces of Canada, the
areas most seriously affected by the
long dry season.
In few regions unusually large To-
cal concentrations have been observed,
but these, the bureau explains, are a
result of mild weather and of the great
reduction in water and food areas that
followed the dry season. By these in
dications, the bureau adds, many have
concluded that the number of water
fowl has increased, whereas. except in
limited regions, ducks were far less
plentiful than in other seasons.
The bureau believes hunters have
generally observed the shortened 1881

MILK'S HIGH PLACE
IN FLOCK'S RATION
Efficient Egg-Making Food
at Present Prices.

Milk, at present prices a relatively
cheap food. deserves a place In the
poultry ration. declares p. B. Zunbro,
extension specialist in poultry hus-
bandry for the Ohio State university.
If liquid milk Is available on the
farm. this form is the cheapest to use.
For every gallon of liquid milk fed
daily to each one hundred hens. the
protein concentrate in the mash may
be reduced per cent. he says.
IL liquid milk is not available. dried
milk may be used in the mash.
When liquid milk Is not available
for the poultry ration. the following
grain-mash ration Is recommended by
the poultry specialist. For the mash I:
ground yellow corn. 40 pounds; ground
wheat, 20 pounds; ground oats. 20
pounds; dried milk. pounds; meat
scraps. Is pounds: salt. pound. For
the grain: cracked corn. 80 pounds ;
wheat, 40 pounds; and oats or barley,
10 pounds.
A moist mash fed in the summer win

suit in increased production, says
Zumbro. The regular laying mash
may be used In making the moist
mash. For each 100 hens, 2 pounds
of tfe mash moistened with milk or
buttermilk until it is in crumbly con-
dition, is sufficient for daily feeding.
1t is not necessary to have special
feeders for this special moist mash !:

lively near future, and because man
kind has discarded human and aniinnl
energy based on food cultivation and
substituted for il his newly discovered
ability to convert solar energy into
work, principally in the form Of cleo
trio power. These are some of the
predictions affecting the welfare OF
humanity made by Harper Leech, writ
er on economic subjects, in his new
book 1.-The Paradox of Plenty"
That this is not a depression but
mishandling of the greatest era OF
plenty the world has ever known" is
the thesis of Mr.. Leech's book. "The
plain fact is" he says in his preface,
"that after thousands, perhaps mil
lions, of years of living on the energy
grudgingly rendered by the sun
through annual harvests of crops, man
suddenly became aware that the same
sun had been storing energy for mil
lions of years. He discovered in coal
an energy store with millions of times
the energy available from his own
muscles. Nearly two hundred years
later he still thinks of scarcity when
there is no scarcity. And, failing to
adjust his institutions and his finan-
cial mechanisms 10 the conditions of
plenty. he has failed to realize the adj
vantages of plenty.
Transformation of the United States.
The transformation of the United
States into a new form of industrial
! society, through the intercOnnectiOn of
electric power and transmission of en-
ergy, has already started, according
to Mr.. Leech, and sis now proceeding
as rapidly as the previous political and
economic Interrogation of America by
railroad construction"
Mr.. Leech points to recent develop
ments in the CarOlinas as typical of
what may be expected of the future
industrialism of the United States in
the wake of its constantly expanding
use of electrical energy. ''In the Pied
mont region of the CarOlinas," he
writes, "the first quarter of the Tween
tieth century witnessed a repetition of
the industrial revolution of the Eight
zenith century in the north of England.
There was the same shift from agri-
culture and cottage industries to fac
tories, but no growth of cities to cor
respond TO the growth of the steam

Leeds, Pittsburgh or Chicago. which
gathered into themselves the great,
constructive forces Of the Nineteenth
century.
'"The new type Of industrialism
which is seen in most characteristic
form in the Carolinas has been sub
jected to much criticism. But it
brought to the inhabitants of those
regions far greater net gain of in

people who lived through the great
