She is a queen bee of excel lent lineage and valued highly— g hundred dollars is the price that her owners have put upon her. Ow ing to an error made by a shipping clerk she ha8 flown, beneath her station into one where bees cost $20.00 per hundred. Mr. Skobo has been sending to a firm in San Francisco for his queen bees. He has been paying in the neighborhood of $20 per hundred for them. A few days ago he received a shipment as usual from the firm and placed them in the hives un aware of the presence of this high priced little queen. A short time after a letter wna sent to him from the company from which he bought the shipment stating that a shipp ing clerk through an error had slipped in the shipment a queen bee valued at $100.00 and asking that Mr. Skovbo return her at once to them. In a conversation with Mr. Skovbo he stated that he would try and procure the bee and return it tp its owner. Testing Report Shows High Average We believe that the foilowrtig mat erial on the dairy industry on the Newlands project will be of Interest to the local dairymen. It furnishes information as to what dairymen on another project are doing in the way of testing. A summary of the April herd test ing report on the Newlands project shows that 1006 cows representing seventy herds produced an average of 716 pounds If milk and 27.12 pounds of butterfat per cow, which may be considered good for dairy ing on alfalfa hay alone. It is in teresting to note that during this month 156 of the cowa on test pro duced 40 pounds or more butterfat for the month. The average gross returns per cow in the association for April was $14.81 for skimmllk and butterfat, with butterfat at 47 cents and skim- milk at 30 cents per 100 pounds. If the average cow as reported in the April herd testing associa tion report is charged with 1100 pounds of alfalfa hay for the month plua an additional amount equal to 16 per cent to make allowance for the hay eaten by dry cows of the herd, it wil be found that the aver age returns from the cattle in the testing association were 1106 lbs. of skimmilk and 42.50 pounds of butterfat for each ton of hay con sumed or we find that one pound of butterfat was produced for 47.60 pounda of hay. At the average price for April and estimating skimmllk worth 30 cents per hundred, we find that the dairy herds of the associa tion made a grosa return of $22.11 for each ton of hay consumed.
