There arc various estimates on milk production costs and they nre likely to he different under different circum stances. Moreover, there Is consider able variation in milk quality, also, g.: It ranges from barely three per cer burterfat test to nearly five per cer , However, none of the figures avalle le show that the producer of mil! is "profiteering." In Illinois the state experiment sta tion secured accurate figures on milk production costs from 080 dairy farms with a total of 18,002 cows. Those fig ures showed the cost of all Items en tering Into the production of 100 pounds of milk as follows: Grain, 44 pounds at $."if) per ton. .$1.21 Silage, 188 pounds at $0 per ton.. .56 Hay, 60 pounds at $30 per ton 75 Other roughage, 39 pounds, at $10 per ton Labor, '-V-i hours at 30 cents per hours 19 75 Total cost per 100 pounds $3.40 The cost is 3.40 cents per pound, or, inking 2.15 pounds per quart, 7.44 cents tier quart ?YE TEST FOR TUBERCULOSIS Used as Check Upon Older Methods, as It Happens Occasionally Re actors Escape. The eye test for detecting tubercu losis in cattle has the approval of the scientists of the bureau of animal in dustry, United Slates Department of Agriculture. The ophthalmic or eye test Is used as a Check upon the older methods, as it happens occasionally that an animal that will not react to the subcutaneous Injection or Intra dermal test will react to the eye test. Two tuberculin tablets are placed In the conjunctival sac beneath t lie lower lid of t lie left eye and observations are taken at approximately the third hour Eye Teat for Tuberculosis Has Its Best Use on Dairy Farm, Where Conditions Are Best Suited. following and at frequent Intervals up to 24 hours. Reaction to the test Is In dicated by discharge and swelling. The bureau of animal industry is not prepared to accept the evidence of the eye test alone where cattle lire Intend ed for Interstate shipment. The test, however, furnishes an additional safe guiird when used with the older method. The eye test Is not well adapted for use upon range cattle or cattle In transit, because of the possibility for dust setting up an Irritation not relat ed to tuberculosis. It has Its best use on the dairy Farm, where conditions are such as to give sure results. The experts liuve observed that In herds which are frequently tested by the rabCUtanSOttt method It is advis able to apply the Intradermal and the eye test. The combined test sometimes detect reactors which have escaped detection by other means. CRUSHED GRAIN IS FAVORED Any Aid Given Cow In Digestion of Food Will Show In Increased Flow of Milk. There Is DO animal harder worked than the dairy cow giving a large flow of milk, nml am aid given her In di gestion will stem decided increase In milk and In her condition. Some rains are easy of mastication and di gestion, but the usual ration of the corn licit Is comprised mainly of wheat, Corn, oats, rye and barley. All of tlu-o grains will show up In the feces If fed whole and unless the Cattle are followed by hogs It Is entirely lost. Crushing grain Is better than grind Ing It tine, for the digestibility may be decreased due to failure to mix prop erly with the saliva. Beware of dairy feeds too finely ground, for they may contain filler and cannot he properly digested. BEETS ARE EXCELLENT FEED Because of Labor In Harvesting and Cost of Handling Are Not a Cheap as Silage. Sugar beets are an excellent feed for dairy cows, but because of the labor In harvesting and the excuse of handling, are not as economical as corn silage. They have u larger amount of nutriment than mangels or rutabaga, but It Is generally held that the latter will yield somewhat more per acre nnd ar less difficult to handle. Sugar beets are not hard on the kidneys, but If fed In too large quantities there Is a tendency to scour the animals. This Is due to the high sugar content of the beet. Automobiles using the state high way for the transportation of freight or passengers are placed under the supervision and control of the state public service commission. The co-operative marketing associa tion measure was amended so as to make It more effective. It will re quire a couple of years to determine how it will work out with respect to the producers, the middlemen and the consumers. Much, however, was ex pected of it. The fish and game matters have been divorced and the commercial fish ing laws been put into the hands of the fish commission, while the game fish and game propagation and regulation have been put in the hands of the game commission. The administrative law under which these two commis sions mut,t operate has been separated into a distinct and separate fish code and a game code. 7, ornen of Oregon will be permitted to serve on juries. The privilege of jury service, however, is only optional with the members of the gentler sex who may refuse to serve in this ca pacity if they so choose, giving only their sex as the reason for such re fusal. The conferees on the agricultural appropriation bill allowed three strict ly Oregon items, put in by Senator McNary, to stand, with a little reduc tion in two cases. An appropriation of $15,000 to fight the pine beetle in the forests of Klamath county was agreed to. along with $15,000 for the irrigation experiment station at Herm iston and $9000 for a frost service in the Rogue river valley, with head quarters at Medford. The personnel of the new fish com mission for Oregon and the new state game commission, as provided for in the segregatipn bills which were passed !t the recent session of the legislature and which have been signed by Gov ernor Olcott, have been announced by the governor. Members of the fish commission are: Frank M. Warren, Portland, appointment to June 1, 1925; Christian F. Schmidt, Astoria, appoint ment to June 1, 1924; Al H. Powers, Powers, Coos county, appointment to June 1, 1923. The state game commis sion personnel follows: State at large George H. Kelly, Portland, five-year term; game distric' No. 1 (counties west of the Cascade mountains), I. N. Fleischner, Portland, four-year term; Bert Anderson, Medford, two year term. Game district No. 2 (coun ies east of the Cascade .mountains), M, A. Lynch, Redmond, three year term; Blaine Hallock, Baker, one-year term. Under the new laws, the juris diction over commercial fishing and over the administration of affairs of the wild game life of the state are com pletely divorced and placed under two separate commissions. One of the cheapest and best winter rations for the dairy heifer, according to the Missouri station, is an average dally of about six pounds, of alfalfa hay, two pounds of corn, and silage at free will (tills means on the aviiage about twenty pounds dally). This kind of ration has kept the heifers growing it just about the right rate to im' i the liest kind of mature cows, Bill j ft the expense has not been un duly great. To Weigh and Measure Children. To establish a standard table of the heights and weights of children a con ference of representatives of the United States children's bureau, the United States bureau of education, the United States public health service and various educational and private organizations working for the bet terment of children has Just been held in New York city. At the pres ent time various tallies of measure men) are In use by the different or ganlaation engaged in weighing and measuring children. The results of the tests ure not ii;. : also considerable confusion lias arist'U bo cause of apparent differences in the standards of normal levelopwent as given out by the various o.ganlza tiotis. A complete standard table will be prepared by a committee, and all fu ture weighing and measuring of chil dren can then be III 'dance with I heir uniform table. The findings of the tests will be comparable ami much greater use can h made of the facts revealed. FaMinq Manna.
