PRODUCTION IS INCREASED Herd Increase Small, But Production Shows Steady Yearly Gain (By~ Cow Testing Ass'n.) A study of the census figures I shows no material increase in the' number ‘of dairy cows in Adams County for the past 10 years. ye> i in thpt .period, there has been a tremenduous increase in produc- [ tion ot milk and butterfat. The ■ reasoa for this increase is due to ; the work of the Dairy Herd Ini provement Association, under the Extension Service of Purdue Uni-: versity. (The Dairy Herd Improvement Association has began its eighth consecutive year in Adams County. The average production ot butterfat for all herds per cow the first year was 897.4 pounds and in the sixth year the average! herd increased to 327 pounds. The benefit of better breeding j practices is graphically illustrated in the average butterfat tests for all herds in that epirod. 1924 to 1925 3.3% butterfat * 1925 to 1928 3.4% butterfat 1928 to 1927 3.5% butterfat 1927 to 1928 3.7% butterfat 1928 to 1929 3.7% butterfat . 1929 to 1930 3.8% butterfat The advisability of testing year after year is brought out very ciea r(y in the following figures. The average of all herds in the county testing for one year only was 284 pounds of butterfat with an SBO feed tost; herds testing not more than /.hree years, 300 pounds of but- , terfat and a $79 feed cost. Herds testirig five consecutive years, 316 pounds fat with an SB3 feed cost. This shows a difference ot 32 lbs of fat per cow per year. With butterfat at thirty cents per pound,: this kneana a difference of $9.60 j per ct>w per year with only a $3 additional feed cost.

Under and improper feeding is. corrected by Dairy Herd Improve-' ment Association work under the direction of the cow tester. The; records in one herd in Adams County furnishes a tine example of this thing. In one year they in- ' creased the feed costs from S7B per, cow per year to *l*2; which resulted in a> increase of inconi, above feed costs from slOl to $158.. This was due entirely to liberal end proper feeding under the direction of the cow tester. The production of this herd in 1926 to 192" was 8,093 lbs., milk and 291 pounds fat. The following year

'Columbia Campus Holds Interesting Church . ■ One of the interesting churches ■ of the more modern type to be. J found in New York City is St.; Paul's Chapel of Columbia Uni-1 versity. Standing on the college campus, not far from the Hall of I Philosophy, it is a structure noted 'with more than passing attention by visitors and passersby. The building was erected in 1904, ' and is somewhat or a youngster so far as historical churches are conjcerned. It is in the shape of a ; I short I-atin cross, prolonged at the! east by a semi-circular apse. At [the wesj is a vaulted portico with ' four columns. Above the portico is the inscription "Pro Ecclesia Dei," which translated means "For the Church !of Hod.” The capitals of the columns are surmounted with cherubs' heads, the work of the noted !'sculptor, Gutzon Borglum. Above . the doorway is the university motto: “In lumino too videbimus lum- | eii” meaning "In Thy light we shall find light." It is this view of the chattel which is shown in the accompanying iilastrstion. . There are twenty-four windows in i the drum of the dome. These are | | adorned with the eoats-of-arms of old Knickerbocker’ families whose If names have been associated with 1 ; jthe activities of the university • They are: Philip Van Cortlandt. class of 1587..
