MAXWLLL HONORS
San Francisco, Dec. 1. With a
previous record of more than
35,000 miles already to its credit.
the world famous Maxwell non
stop champion has just finished
a two-days tour out of this city
during which time it completely
circumnavigated the Santa Clara,
Salinas and l'ajaro Valleys, run
ning up an added total of more
than 300 miles. The car, once
more on display in San Francis
co, now shows a grand total of
3(5,050 miles, ami is again the
center of attraction of hundreds
of interested enthusiasts.
During the recent tour of the
valleys contiguous to the San
Francisco bay region, in accord
ance with the determination of
the Maxwell Motor Sales Corpo
ration, the motor of the car re
mained untouched. Remarkable
as this may seem in the face of
all the strenuous work that has
been imposed upon the Interna
tional Wanderer, not one single
adjustment of any kind has been
made to motor of this non-stop
champion. Not a valve has been
ground, not even a spark plug
has been changed or cleaned.
The dependable and consistent
performance of the car remains
one of the marvels of local
motordom.

Says Profitable Cow is the One
Wanted on the Dairy Farm
MSV COWS 40 LBS. PER MONTH
(live a l ist of October Teslinjf, Which
Speak lor More
(By J. R. Greenlee, Tester.)
inn cow-resnrg movement is
practically a new movement in
dairying, originating in Denmark
22 years ago. This has increased
the production of the cow nearly
twice as much as before it origi
nated. It was first started by a
woman, Mrs. Frederick Hansen
The first association in this coun
try wa3 organized by a Dane,
Mr. Helmer liabild, now in
charge of Dairy Farming, with
Dairy Division at Washington,
D. C. Since then many associa
tions have been formed in the
United States. They are found
in every state in this country.
It has not been necessary in
the past for dairymen to pay
much attention to this work, on
account of ready market, high
prices for product and cheap
feed3. But this condition is
changing fast. A few years agi
we paid $50 per acre for land
where now it ranges from $100
to $300 per acre. There are also
countries which can produce very
much cheaper than we can.
Take for instance New Zealand
that country was manufacturing
butter, shipping it over here.
and then selling it cheaper than
we can afford to make it here.
To run opposition to this we
must keep economical producing
cows.
The dairy business, like any
other, depends on economical
production -and a ready market
for the product. Each individ
ual cow represents a unit of
profit or loss. The cow that fig
ures on the profit side only bal
ances the column for the cow on
the loss side. Why not have ail
cows on the profit list?
The cow-testing associations
are the cause of selling 400 poor
cows in Oregon. This state has
16 associations. Coos County has
out of the 16. Mr. Smith,
county agent there, says that
through the cow-testing associa
tion the dairy industry has im
proved greatly.
Following is the official test for
31 days in October:
