(United Press Service) • Tlie “Buffalo Bill” of tlie cabinet is Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior. Fall not only looks like the lato wild west hero, but he is said to have been almost as good a shot in tlie old gun days out in New Mexico. This tall, well set up man with long “spider-leg" moustaches, a "poker face” and hair worn over his neck in long western style, doesn’t look like the typical cabinet member, but he is one of the most trusted advisors to President Harding. It is said that the president trusts Fall’s judgment as much as that of any man in the cabinet. They are also warm personal friends duo to an acquaintance growing out of tho days when both served in tho U. 8. senate. Fall is popularly known as the “fire-eater” of the cabinet —but those who know him personally say there is not a kinder, better natured man in Washington official life. There is a firm gleam in his sharp eyes, however, which indicates that he will stand for nonsense. He spent.many years in the wild border country of tho southwest, where arguments . were won by tlie man who was quickest on tho'trigger. But coining to tho senate, lie soon showed that ho was a dead shot with his tongue as well as with a six-shooter and few opposition senators had the courage to stand up under his withering sarcasm. He was a bitterender during the treaty fight and one of the severest critics of Woodraw Wilson. I

Trial by Milk Man’s Jury Makes Cows on State Farm Arnone Best Milk Producers in Indiana — . . —- — | F » • six ... ®' w ® MM f'; ’ < ‘ 4 .■lv.rirsf-asaial ferjiaaoaraj i ' . JJi...,. The record milk producing cow* on the state farm are shown in the picture above. No. 1 is Hazel which has held the best average: No. 2 is Buttercup, whose daily average is increasing each year, and No. 3 is Winona, another record-breaker. No. 4 is the picture of the cart which is used to hold the feed pans.

How tho milkmans jury made 75 cows some of the best milk producers in the state was graphically illustrated after years of experience with the dairy on the Indiana state farm in this county. The story below explains in detail the meaning of a “milkman’s jury” and its value to a dairy farmer. (By Allen County Agent Showalter, in Fort Wayne News and Sentinel) A trial by jury is considered the inalienable right of every individual before lie shall be sentenced in any court. In order to be fair to one of man s greatest benefactors, the cow, it is necessary that her case be tried before an unprejudiced jury. This jury should he composed of a Babcock tester, a pair of scales and a milk and feed record. Tlie man who has a good cow and knows it is indeed fortunate. The same may be said of a man who owns a poor cow and knows it and has the good sense to send her to the butcher. How often have we heard of farmers who have sold what they thought to be just an ordinary individual, to find out later that they have sacrificed at a low figure one of the best animals in their head? In the case of Hazel, a high grade Holstein cow among the state farm herd, there is a shining example of a cow whose real worth was not realized until she was brought to trial before a milkman's jury. Baek in 1914. Melvin Druckemiller, superintendent of the Indiana school lor feeble-minded youth, of which school the state farm is a part, instituted the jury system in the state farm herd. Up until that time their highest producer had given only 9,719 pounds of milk for the year, Realizing that production was too low, he had* previously increased the feed, but at the end of the year the

A NEW FLEA REMEDY 111-mannered fleas, which are invading some of the best regulated . Hoosier homes, according to information reaching the state conservation department from all parts of the state, may be taught to be respectors of persons, if fiea-ridden ones will follow the advice of Frank N. Wai- , lace, state entomologist. The advise is simple enough—ever simpler than catching them and pulling their teeth , if they have teeth. It’s this; said Mr. Wallace: ’ “Put on rubber boots and wrap them with fly paper. Walk around , in the house and you’ll get all of ( them. Fleas jump at any moving object. They can”t jump higher than ■ about six inches. You walk, the fleas jump, thef stick to the fly paper, and there you are.”

herd's food cost had increased $1,500 i and the milk production had de- , creased. . The herd at the time consisted of about 70 high grade Holsteins. These were ranked according to the amount 1 of milk produced each year. Hazel, i the cow mentioned above, at this ■ time was lost in the masse, rank- i ing only No. 35 in the list. The : calves were sold to the butcher, I since only heifer calves from the t first 12 in the list were retained to 1 build up the herd. Herein lies the t tragedy too often enacted on tho 1 dairy farms of our country. Accord- i ing to Mr- Druckemiller's own state- 1 ment, he would gladly pay SI,OOO i apiece for each of Hazel’s heifer t calves sacrificed. 1 Dairy Temperament. Dairy temperament in a cow is i that tendency to consume feed and I to convert it into milk instead of fat, ( The beef type of cow gives so much t milk from the consumed, and the remainder she converts into flesh. A good dairy cow will, if the food t is inadequate, take flesh from her 1 own body and convert it into milk. I Hazel has the dairy temperament. 1 But because all tlie herd was fed < alike, Hazel did not get sufficient 1 foot! for her best performance. < In 1914 the following feeding sys- i tern was inaugurated on the farm by A the superintendent: A niainten- I I ance ration of ensilage, alfalfa, I clover and sheaf oats was fed to each t cow in equal amount. In addition • to this, a balanced ration consisting 1 of a 21 per cent protein feed was fed. f each cow being given one pound for ( < every four pounds of milk; that is, i a cow giving 80 pounds of milk a day 1 w'ould receive 20 pounds of the concentrated feed as a day’s ration. A ’ blackboard was placed in the milk- ( ing barn giving each cow's stall number, name and her average daily,: record of milk produced for the pre- :

Mr. Wallace gave no direction about getting off fleas which might happen to reach a higher altitude on a person, but examples of how to get rid of such particularly brave fleas may be noted by observing almost any dog or monkey.—lndianapolis News. AN ADVERTISEMENT HELPED HER Mrs. Lucille Mackey, 1G Buena Vista St., Washington, Pa., writes: “Last winter my 3-year-old girl caught a bad cold which left her witli a dry cough. It bothered her most at night and she would cough until she vomited. I think she must have had whooping cough. I saw an advei tisement for Foley’s Honey und Tar. I tried it and bought two bottles and her cough left her before she finished th ■ second battle. She had gotten awfully thin, but now she is as fat as ever.” Sold everywliere. —Advt

ceding week. This record was writ- i ten up each Monday morning. Ht>re is where Hazel came into her own. I Immediately after this plan was , started, Hazel's production began to increase and her feed was increased accordingly. For tlie three years previous to this time Hazel's average ; yearly production hud been only i 8,109 pounds. From 35th place in : the herd Hazel rose to first placo and ; has held this position every year up i to tin* present time. Her average yearly record for stx years since tho new system was started has been 1 15,246 pounds. Her highest yearly record was 17,230 pounds. The i truev in the picture shows the feedpails used. Each pail is numbered and the feed is mixed between milking hours according to tho record produced, so that there is no danger of any cow receiving an inaccurate ration. Hazel Is Worth Ten Cows According to Mr. Druckemiller, the cows must each produce 5,000 pounds of milk to commensurate for the feeding cost. AU over this is profit. Hazel is worth 10 cows producing only 6,000 pounds of milk because she produces 10,000 pounds of milk over and above the amount required to offset tlie feeding cost, whereas the 6,000 pound cow only produced a 1,000 pound surplus. Hazel has produced during her lifetime 116.704 pounds of milk. Figured at 3 cents a pound, the value of her milk production is $3,501.12, Besides this, she has produced nine calves. The superintendent would not sell the heifers of this group for less than SI,OOO each. Hazel was tried by a fair jury and was convicted of being the prize cow of tho whole herd. , Do you know your cows? If not, a milkman’s jury will render a fair and just decision.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM Banks, police and county ollicers are asked to be on the lookout for a man representing himself to be G. I). Sutton, claiming he wants to purchase farm lands, lie attempts to induce a wealthy farmer to write his name and address in a pocket memorandum which he carries. It is his method to later forge this signature on checks, presenting the same to local men in payment for a small purchase and getting the remainder of the amount the cheek calls for in cash. The man is said to usually use the farmer's initials instead of his full name. He is said to be about six feet tall, weight 175 pounds, is very gray, and about sixty years old. Banks are also notified to be on the lookout for certificates of deposit on the Lawrence State bank, made payable to Nancy I. Smith, and certificates made payable to Ethel Cooper of Kempton, Indiana.
