1 1 A creamery uiunaia'r wild whom we
talked the other any stnted that, no far
as ho was nware. not one of the four
hundred odd patrons of the creamery
are using the Isabcoek test for deter
' mining accurately the quality and
' umount of milk given by their Individ-
ual cows. Jn view of the fact thnt
so much tedious and exacting work has
to he clone In connection with the milk
ing of these cows, It seeing strange
Hint more of the owncra do not take
, the pains to ascertain Just which cows
of their herd are paying fir their keep.
If these cows are like the run of cows
In communities where cow testing ns
soclutlons have been formed It Is prob
ably safe to assume that 40 per cent
of the 2,500 cows belonging to this
group of patrons, or 1,000 nnlimilH. are
not or are Just barely paying expenses.
The Bubcock testing outlit Is a slmplo
affair, costing but $4 or $r. nnd any
j competent hired mnn or bright hoy or
girl could look after the weighing nnd
testing of the milk and umke the nee
: essary records. Willie dally testing
would he necessary for a complete
milk and butter f.tt record, week
ly weighing and testing would give
a very good Idea of what a cow
i was doing. It would determine at once
whether she belonged to tho money
makers or to the other squad that
; were simply eating their heads off nnd
being milked for "the fun of it." This
1 group of creamery patrons will contlu

the dairy business until It decides thai
It is worth Its while to get nt the real
facts In regnrd to Its cows in a sys
tcmatic and exact way.
who have made n study of the prob
lem seem to think that the raising of
turkeys will have to be transferred
largely from eastern to central and
western states, where the germs of
blackhead have, not yet been Introduced.
A PEST OF RABBITS.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
government of Australia has eo operat
ed extensively with landowners In a
c," -tpaign having In view un exlertui
tuition of Ihe rnblilt pest, the rodents
seem to he on the Increase. Some two
or three .veal's ago a rabbit tight woven
wire fen- o was built across the conti
nent at heavy cost In order to prevelll
a spread of the rabbits, nnd today the
government sells wire fencing ut cost.
Some Idea of the prevalence of the
pest may be got from the tl'-Ttrts. r 1.. -b
show that Iti..!.-vS.7 lit pounds of rabbit
and hare skins were exjsirted In lull
from New Smith Wales alone.

WHAT SHOWS THE STUFF THAT'S

The country boy or town boy who all
too soon will have to be makiug hl

ery way possible to continue as lout

writer hns the notion that In a nni-
l Jorlty of cases, If a boy musters energy
aim initiative enough to finish a high
school course, ho has surmounted the
most discouraging period of bis school
ing nnd will be more likely, having
achieved thus much, to go on nnd Hi
himself still further for some useful
work In tho world. If he gives tip
much before this time It seems to be
a sort of Indication of n lack of gump

RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE RULE.
In the great state of Washington the
public service commission has lately
promulgated and put In forco a recip
rocal demurrage rule which makes it
necessary for railroads to provide ship
pers with cars within a specified time,
at Borne points three and at others six
days after notice. Falling to do so.
railroads must pay a penalty of $1 n
day. A similar penalty Is imposed tf
transportation companies fall to notify
a consignee of the presence or a car
wlthlu twenty-four hours ufter Its ar
rival. The order of the commission
nlso requires of railroads that they
shall carry cars of produce uot less
than fifty miles a day. This reciprocal
demurrage plan would seem to be an
excellent one, and one worth copying in
other states.
