Reaching the Corners of the Earth 
Not many people realize the wide range 
of circulation enjoyed by The It. N.-Y. 
There is no other farm paper, and few 
other magazines, which cover the earth 
so completely in their intercourse with 
readers. We have often wondered why 
these people off in the far corners of the 
earth should be interested in au American 
farm paper, and we have asked some of 
them about it. Invariably they tell us 
that they formerly lived in this country 
and were interested in farming. In their 
faraway home they want to keep some 
little connection with agricultural thought 
in America, and they find that The It. 
N.-Y. gives them the best expression of 
that thought. These people come to us 
with all sorts of questions, and we have 
run some curious errands for them. One 
man on the island of Java had married 
an Egyptian wife. The man was for¬ 
merly a hired man on a Vermont farm, 
lie tried to tell his wife about buckwheat 
cakes aud maple syrup, hut not with great 
success. So he sent us the money and we 
bought some buckwheat flour and maple 
syrup and sent them to him by express, 
with directions for making the cakes. 
The goods reached him, and he fried the 
cakes aud convinced his wife that he 
knew good food. 
These people are often of great help 
to us. During the war they gave us. from 
time to time, statements about the feeling 
in these far-off; places. No one could fully 
realize until he had these personal reports 
how completely the world has been sot on 
fire. Some time ago a man in Maine said 
he had received a proposition to start a 
dairy farm on the island of Java. He 
knew nothing about dairying in the trop- 
ice. but. like the rest, he came to The B. 
N.-Y'. to help him out. What we did was 
to write at random to some of our read¬ 
ers in Africa and Asia, and in the course 
of time we received just what this man 
needed. The following letter from Poona. 
India, was written 4S days after our 
letter started. The bulletins referred to 
by Mr. Mann are printed in English, and 
are very interesting. It seems that man 
is able to adapt the cow to any climate— 
or any climate to the cow! 
There is no doubt of the possibility of 
the success of a dairy in certain parts of 
Java, but the conditions are so very dif¬ 
ferent in different parts of the island that 
without special knowledge of exactly the 
area where your friend proposes to start, 
it is very difficult to advise. My own 
knowledge of Java is not intimate, hut 
judging from my experience in India, the 
matters about which difficulty would ho 
likely to arise are the following: 
1. The yield of milk from nearly all 
tropical breeds of cattle is small. There 
has been little attempt to breed up for 
milk, and so the breeds, both of cows and 
buffaloes, are at present very indifferent 
milkers. We are trying to grade up our 
best dairies in Western India to a yield 
of 3,000 lbs. milk per annum for eaMi ani¬ 
mal. hut such a yield is exceptional al¬ 
most all over India, and, 1 believe, over 
Java as well. 
2. Cattle disease is rife, especially rin¬ 
derpest and foot and mouth disease. 
Either of these is, of course, fatal to milk 
yield, even if animals recover. You have 
got. in any case, to keep your animals out 
of contact with other cattle very carefully 
indeed. This disease question is specially 
important in connection with grading up 
your animals with imported stock. The 
imported stock are much more susceptible, 
and their progeny seem to retain their 
susceptibility. In India this question is 
so serious that, one cannot insure dairy 
stock. 
3. Grazing is. on the whole, poor, even 
when there is plenty of rain, and fodder 
crops must be depended on very largely 
indeed. 
But if these points are realized, and 
proper adjustments made, dairying can bo 
very profitable. Milk is very dear all over 
the tropics: buffalo milk is a very rich 
butter-maker, containing usually over 7 
per cent of fat, and although cheese can¬ 
not at all easily he made except iu a large 
creamery, yet skim-milk can nearly always 
be profitably used for pigs, which thrive 
very well indeed. 
I send you (by book post! a bulletin 
by one of my assistants on the establish¬ 
ment and management of a dairy farm in 
Western India, which may he of some use. 
Java differs considerably from Western 
India, hut in many respects similar con¬ 
siderations apply. HAROT.O W. MAN’S,

Everyone knows Hudson Super-Six history. 
It is written in the official records of some of 
the greatest endurance and speed tests known. 
It is told in nearly every locality by those who 
know how performance reveals quality. 
But its greatest fame lies in the apprecia¬ 
tion that thousands of owners hold for it. 
You have heard Hudson owners predict 
its ultimate achievements. They have praised 
their cars and yet always they have said that 
a greater Super-Six was inevitable. 
Hudson Evolution Came Naturally 
Let the reader review the past four years 
of motor history. The Super-Six was a distinct 
step ahead in motor designing. It added 72% 
to power without increased weight or compli¬ 
cations. * 
Its principle was new. Vibration had been 
minimized. Performance had been increased. 
That first Super-Six revealed a development 
not possible to any other type. It foretold 
the Hudson we now offer. 
Each Year Marked Some Improvement 
New Hudson models are not mere changes 
in body design. Such attractiveness is not 
overlooked. The main effort has been to 
increase endurance, to free it from the faults 
common to all cars. 
Easier starting, more liability of perform¬ 
ance, freedom from mechanical attention, a 
safer, more comfortable and more economical 
car has been the aim. 
Each added quality has been proved in a 
thousand ways. The speedway, road racing, 
mountain climbing, trans-continental tour¬ 
ing at express speed, did their part. Spectacu¬ 
lar records were established, but long after 
details of the world's fastest mile for a stock 
chassis, or the double run from San Francisco 
to New York and return, had been forgotten 
by the public, Pludson engineers continued 
to profit by the lessons learned in those tests. 
Subsequent models showed the result. 
Such a car would have been impossible with¬ 
out that experience. We did not enter racing to 
win prizes but to learn how to build a better car. 
Sales Lead All Fine Cars 
Like the constant champion it proved to 
be on the race track, Hudson sales exceed 
those of any other fine car. 
More Hudsons are built now than ever 
before. A month’s output now is as great as 
was the first four month’s production of the 
first Super-Six. 
Sales demand, though has always been 
ahead of the supply. That shows how motor- 
dom regards the Super-Six. 
When will you make it your choice?
