“MILK SCORES” COMPARED. 
Practically the Same Condition. 
I have said that different scores of the 
same stable under practically the same 
conditions sometimes vary 20 points or 
more, and I have been asked to verify this 
statement. I have looked up a number of 
instances of seeming discrepancies in scor¬ 
ing, and have never found a farmer’s state¬ 
ments to be exaggerated. A copy of a score 
card is herewith given, and two scores made 
the past Summer are annexed. These vary 
by 28 points. This is more than is usual, 
but less than the extreme. In this in¬ 
stance the July score was supposed to re¬ 
sult in the loss of a market for the milk. 
The August score was telegraphed for to 
prevent loss. It was a risk to take. One 
does not know which way the second man 
may change the score. In this instance it 
was -not thought possible to get a worse 
score, and so the risk was taken. I saw 
the stable and the premises and regard them 
as excellent. The August score was none 
too high.

lumber 
After the crops are all harvested, why not work the 
wood lot for the money that’s in it? Fall is lumber 
time—the time to cut your timber into lumber for 
your own use or to sell. Buy an “ American ” Saw 
Mill, which cuts the most lumber at the least cost, 
and run it with yonr farm engine. The price of a 
carload of lumber will buy an ” American ” Mill that 
will cut a carload a day. Ask for our book, “ Making 
Money Oflfthe Wood Lot.” It explains a money-mak¬ 
ing proposition for the farmer. Writeour nearest office.
