value OF liEGOBO MILK PRODUGTiON Value of Cow Testing Associations Proved by Department Experiments. That the appearance of a dairy cow caii not be depended on to indicate her production of milk is illustiated by a demonstration conducted < under the auspices of the Dairy Division of the depai tnient with a herd of nine cows at the National Dairy ; Show held recently at Springfield, ; Mass. A year's record of milk and butter j fat already had been made for all the cows of the herd. During the ' show complete records of production i and feed consumption were kept and 1 j r i lit every case me previous records were duplicated. Some oi' the cows were of poor dairy type, yet were good producers; others were of good 1 dairy type, yet were poor producers; < still others of similar appearance \ had greatly different records. Of the last named class were Nos. 8 and 9. Many experienced stockmen 1 selected No. 9 as the better of the ' two, but the records showed that for 1 the last year No. 8 gave 8,445 ' pounds of milk and 346 of fat com- 1 pared with 4,279 pounds of milk and 198 of fat for No. 9 This served as an object lesson to the hundreds of ( people who daily viewed the demonstration that good dairy type is not ^ always associated with large production and that poor dairy type does not indicate lack of large yield. , "What does it cost to keep re- . cords?" was a common question oi' ( the dairymen. In cow-testing asso- | ciations, where the above-quoted re- ] cords were made, the charge is $l.f>0 < a month for each cow, and in addition the board of the tester for one day each month. With feed, labor, 1 and live stock so high, it certainly is 1 imperative to eliminate every un- 1 necessary expense like the "boarder" or "robber" cow that fails to pa;, fIV r-ven Vi#?r fnnrl " * ^ > T ?.V? *WM? Irt the big room at the dairy shov where the cows were stanchionedi ' were several hundred! comfortabk ! scats. Here several times each daj well-known dairymen from variou parts of the country talked to th? large audiences on dairy problems illustrating their remarks with th( ( c*ws of the demonstration herd . t Especial emphasis was laid upon tlu ^ value of records in economical man , agetmept. ^ Cooperative bull associations wer" carefully described and their man> advantages explained. That it wa. j possible to have high-class bulls o; t the finest bleeding for the us} of i i dairyman with only a few cow. i seemed to many far.ncis as too goc\ 1 to be true, especially when the cos;. was even less than in the case of scrub vbulls. In this connection the * charts '.that illustrated the conditions |N at Kotanth Iowa, before and aftei the oegpnization of a bull association, eMlited much interest At that place, for a yearly investment of $7.50 each, the members have the 1 use of five $240 bulls for 10 years. ( On the walls of the demonstration ^ room were pictures of famous dairy c animals, charts showing results of ( record keeping, etc. Adjoining were * skeleton milk or dnirv hnncn?

In the ' 1. i'k houses was dairy equipment, and a man in charge answered ques- . tions on dairying and explained the construction of these and all other * kinds of dairy buildings. At regular periods demonstrations In the sterilization of milk utensils were given with the inexpensive farm sterilizer described in Farmers' Bulletin 748; these demonstrations were well attended. There was also keen interest in every part of the demonstrations, as may be judged from the fact that about 5.000 people listened to lectures and fully 15,000 viewed the exhibits. % ? o winter urines corns io cnildren.

After a trial lasting two tlays, a jury in the court of common plaes has decided that Rachael Anna Henson. a Greenville county lady living on farm lands not far from Greer, is not of unsound mind, and that her deed for 43 acres of land given to her nephew, S. D. Henson, this year, is valid. This was the outcome of a suit brought by three brothers of Rachael Anna Henson, to have a deed of gift set aside. The ease has been one of unusual interest for the legal points involved. The jury also found that there was no Indication of fraud or misrepresentation on the part of S. D. Henson in procuring the deed of gift. The tract of land involved in the dispute is about 4d acres in extent and is valued at around $2,000. W. T. Henson, J. V. Henson and D.
