THE INDIANA PLAN OF COWTESTING ASSOCIATION In discussing the Indiana plan of Cow-Testing Association, J R. (Tarver of Purdue University. Dairy Extension Department, says: “This type of Cow-Testing Association is constructed to meet the needs of the average farmer having front five to ten cows and is not, as many people imagine, an organization that is beneficial only to men making a business of dairying. That this plan of an association is considered practi cal and that it is beginnfnb to show eymptoms of becoming a powerful factor in revolutionizing the dairy Industry throughout the state, is shown by the attitude a number of localities are taking toward this movement. “The Indiana plan is different from the Danish plan of Cow-Testing Association The Danish plan is practical only In high developed dairy sections where men are willing to pay $1.60 per cow per year for their testing, whereas the Indiana plan, as previously stated, Is designed to meet the needs of the average Indiana farmer. The Indiana type of Cow-Testing Association provides for the testing of 800 to 1,000 cows at 75c per cow per year There are eight units In one of these associations, and each unit contains from 100 to 150 cows. These units may or not be adjacent owing to the density of the cow population. For, instance, one community may contribute enough cows to form two or more units whereas another community twenty to fifty miles distant, may have but one unit. Each unit receives a week's time from the tester every two months. “The tester who is employed to do the testing for this association, is a man who has been trained in the practical as well as the theoretical side of the dairy industry, who can I be an invaluable help to the farmer | in balancing rations, In figuring the relative value of different feeds, and
in showing which combination of foods gives the best results at the least cost. Then too, the tester while spending several hours on each farm of the members of each unit onco every eight weeks, not only tests the composite samples from each cow subscribed to the association but also serves as a high type of dairy adviser. From the tests, weight of feeds in different rations, and the weight of milk produced from each cow, he is enabled to give the farmer an actual statement as to the merits of the different Individuals in his herd. The mechanical operation connected with finding these facts and the contact of the tester and farmer while making these computations, Is in itself a valuable stimulus. This fact was clearly demonstrated last winter when similar work was con ducted in the southern part of the state. It has been found that farmers are much freer in asking questions and in talking about their methods when approached individually than while attending a meet-
ing.
“The first Indiana plan of CowTesting Association has been sturied in the vicinity of Carmel, Nobles ville, Sheridan, Westfield Greenfield and Lebanan. Mr. Harvey Moredock, who has been apppointed by Purdue university to take charge of this association, started his work near Carmel, June 17th, 1913. “Several other localities in tiestate are planning to have similar associations in the near future. Th--country around Vincennes is the nex* territory to receive assistance in thi*movement.” PREDICTS FUTURE FOR THIS PACiF

Putnam county bids fair to place itself on the racing map if the predictions of Hiatt Shuey, who lives near Baiubridge, are correct. Diamond Dispute is the pacer upon which he bases his hopes and h" will take him out this fall to a large number of race meets, such as Decatur and other places. The horse is seven years old and summer before lust was entered ii ten races and never failed to take a place and get a share of the prizi pnoney. Shuey lias had it training tills spring under the direction of a professional trainer from South Chi cago. The horse is now in the best Condition that it ever was in and barring accidents, its owner predicts dhat it will earn him a good bunch of prize money this fall Shuey will take the horse out for three months, and enter him in race> at county fairs and other big racing events. He will go along himself and personally superintend the direction and care of the horse as he is not willing for any one else to manage It
Raymond Patterson, DePauw’s star twirler, made his second appearance in big league baseball yesterday when he pitched six Innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. Patterson went In the game in the fourth inning after both Gilligan and Burns had been knocked out of the box and the Milwaukee team had a lead of three runs. He held his opponents with out a run for three innings and then allowed six runs in the last three frames A total of eight hits were made off his delivery. In three times at hat, Patterson connected for two safe hits. Although Minneapolis lost the game by a score of 12 to 4 Patterson does not get credit for losing the game, according to the official baseball scoring. He gave two bases on balls, got one strikeout and hit one player with a pitched ball.
FIRE MARSHAL’S ORDER IS AFFIRMED BY COURT
WANT THE STATE PENAL FARM HERE
EFFORT WILL BF MADE TO SECURE NEW INSTITUTION FOR GREENCASTLE—SITE WEST OF TOWN IS ONE TO BE PROPOSED.
MEtTING FOR NEXT WEEK
A meeting of the business men and citizens of Greencastle will be called next week to discuss the advisability ot organizing to make an effort to secure for Greencastle the State Penal Farm The establishment of such a farm was made possible by a recent act of the legislature and already a commission has been appointed to secure a site. The commission has organized and soon will be ready to consider all offers. The site west of Greencastle, which v u: purposed for the State Tubercuosis Hospital, is the one which the Greencastle people will endeavor to interest the commission with. The site consists about 1000 acres and as the commission desires at least 50o acres, and possibly much more Greencastle people believe that the land west of town will be well suited for the needs of the farm. This tract of land is all that the slate could desire and it is hoped that Greencastle citizens will make a great effort to secure the institution The matter of the site already has Reen called to the attention of fiov°rnor Ralston, and it is believed that it property energy Is devoted toward securing the institution for Oreencas -.'lo. there will be little trouble in
landing It.
W. E. I^trigley, state fire marshal won the first case which was brought to prevent the carrying out out of an order for tearing down a building regarded as a fire hazard The suit was that of Jerome A. Gleason, of Tipton, against the fire marshal, and the result was that Judge Purvis, of the Tipton Circuit Court, affirmed Reorder of the marshal, fixing the time for the razing of the building as on pr before December 1. The authority to cause buildings to he torn down when they are danger ous as fire hazards is vested in the state fire marshal and this is regarded as one of the most important duties of the office. Mr. Longley ami his deputies have already issued n number of such orders confining their activities along this line, however, to the most flagrant cases There has been practically no opposition to the orders issued. Mr. Gleason at Tipton disagreed with the marshal and asked the circuit court ,to set aside the order. The buildine was a one story structure which at pne time had been used as a skating rink The rear of it was not used at present and was declared by Marshal Longley as to be dangerous. The action of the court in affirming the order is expected to lend support to the fire marshal In his crusade against dangerous buildings. Many confidential reports concern •Ing the condition of building in various communities are reaching the fire marshal's office in Indianapolis hut no action is taken on any of these until a personal inspection habeen made by one of the deputy fire marshals.

REACHED 100 DEGREES
Again the mercury is on a rampage A 1 o'clock this afternoon the ther mometer registered 100% degrees, the hottest of the day. But the day was not to be compared with Friday night. At midnight the mercury stood at 76. Sleep was almost impossible because of the intense heat. Not a breath of air stirred and those who did not have an electric fan to coot
them off got little rest.
Some sought some cool refreshing air by taking bed clothing to their lawns and sleeping there. Others gave up in dispair and did not at tempt to sleep. And no relief is prom-
ised by the weather bureau.
