The peculiar, perhaps unparalleled, j record o f this cow is that for ten years she has produced an average oi 884 pounds butter fat or 448 pounds butter per year. This is 1.23 pounds butter for each and every day of the 866—yes, o f the 3,050 days. Her lar May be found in our Residence and Business Property in CENTRAL POINT Price, the Horseshoer.

And in an exact comparison for one year Rose made more than three times as much butter fat as Queen from exactly the same feed, both In kinds and amount and with the same care. Rose was purchased by the Illinois experiment station when she was four years old, and she is now past sixteen. She was picked up among the cows of- \ fered for sale for $50. Her record here given is for ten years in succession, including the times when she was dry, and she lias been doing practically ns well since. Her longest milking period In thin time was one year and eleven months completed when she was fourteen and a half years old; her shortest, one year and ten dnys, and the average one year five and a third months. In this time she produced seven calves, four o f them being heifers. At 25 cents per pound for butter fat or 22, cents per pound for butter th annual income from Rose Is $90 an : that from Queen $38.

Most of the bulbs and tuberous rooted plants that we know dislike and will not do well in a sticky soil. Make it porous and rich, and there will be no doubt of the results. The lilies, like the peony family, should not be disturbed except to sep arate them and to renew the soli which has been exhausted after grow ing them for u few years.
