that  is  absolutely  harmless  so  far  as  dry¬

the  cow  pox  ami  not  the  remedy  that

three  times  a  day  almost  up  to  the  calv¬

Farmers  are  working  extremely  hard  and 
using  machinery  as  much  as  possible  to 
help  out.  Farmers  are  not  receiving 
enough  for  milk;  high  cost  of  feed  and 
The  restrictions  imposed  by  city  inspec¬ 
tion  greatly  increase  the  labor  and  ex¬ 
pense  of  making  milk.  Bairyinen  and 
the  man  who  owns  an  automobile  seem 
to  be  the  special  objects  of  attention  by 
law  makers.  The  laws  are  bad  enough 
but  a  vicious  enforcement  of  them  is 
worse.  Fool  game  laws  are  a  burden, 
but  the  people  do  not  seem  to  have  much 
influence  to  avert  them  so  far  as  these 
things  are  concerned.  J.  a.  m.

Holstein  BreeJers  Meet 
At  the  Holstein-Friesinu  meeting.  June 
7.  at  Detroit.  Secretary  Houghton's  re¬ 
port  showed  the  largest  annual  business 
yet  transacted.  The  membership  acces¬ 
sion  during  the  year  was  1,260,  making 
the  total  now  8.885.  The  year’s  regis¬ 
trations  numbered  72.665,  and  there  were 
68.766  transfers.  Total  income  was 
$216,099.41,  and  balance  after  paying  all 
expenses,  $119,314.84. 
President  Aitken  emphasized  the  im¬ 
portance  of  maintaining  the  true  type  of 
the  breed  as  shown  by  the  scale  of  points 
as  otherwise  production,  size,  vigor,  hard¬ 
iness  and  constitution  of  the  breed  might 
deteriorate  rapidly.  lie  recommended 
that  census  of  the  ownership  of  all  the 
registered  Holstein-Friesiau  cattle  in 
America  be  made  during  the  coming  year, 
and  that,  as  a  means  of  spreading  the 
doctrine  of  the  Holstein  cow,  the  State 
and  local  Holstein  associations  be  close¬ 
ly  affiliated  with  the  national  organiza¬ 
tion  and  an  appropriation  made  to  cover 
this  purpose,  part  of  which  should  Vie  de¬ 
voted  to  the  expense  of  a  corps  of  speak¬ 
ers  to  attend  the  meetings  of  the  minor 
organizations. 
As  to  the  Advanced  Register,  Mr. 
Aitken  stated  that  a  Holstein  cow,  to 
exceed  a  record  in  all  classes  today,  must 
produce  a  yield  of  butterfat  which  is  in 
startling  comparison  with  former  records. 
Today  a  mature  cow,  to  be  a  champion, 
must  produce  more  than  44.42  pounds 
butter  in  seven  days  and  more  than 
1.506  pounds  in  a  year.  A  two-year-old 
cow  must  produce  more  than  31.4  pounds 
butter  in  seven  days  and  1,200  pounds 
in  a  year  to  he  a  champion.  He  stated 
that  entries  in  the  Advanced  Registry 
for  the  year  exceeded  12,000. 
He  suggested  that  a  corps  of  supervis¬ 
ors  for  Advanced  Registry  tests  should  be 
provided  by  the  Association  itself,  instead 
of  relying  upon  those  furnished  by  State 
Colleges  and  Experiment  Stations.  He 
also  recommended  that  the  work  of  (he 
State  Cow  Testing  Associations  he  taken 
cognizance  of  and  made  a  part  of  the 
present  Advanced  Registry  system. 
The  report  of  the  Superintendent  of 
Advanced  Registry,  Mr.  M.  II.  Gardner, 
Delav.in.  Wis.,  showed  12,882  cows  under 
Dsl,  during  the  year,  for  milk  and  butter 
y  elds,  averaging  408  pounds  of  milk  and 
14.40  pounds  of  butterfat  in  seven  days. 
Tiir  largest  butter  record  of  the  year 
was  that  of  a  cow  owned  in  New  York 
State,  named  Ormsby  Jane  Segis  Anggie, 
with  a  yield  of  35.53  pounds  butterfat  in 
seven  days.  The  largest  record  for  one 
year  was  made  by  a  cow  owned  in  Min¬ 
nesota.  named  Duchess  Skylark  Ormsby. 
the  yield  being  a  world’s  Tocord  for  all 
breeds  of  1,205.09  pounds  butterfat. 
Prize  money  to  the  amount  of  $15,000 
was  awarded. 
Our  barns  are  (filed  with  the  best  Percheron  and 
Belgians  at  the  lowest  prices.
