PUREBRED COWS ARE BEST FOR BUTTER rr . .1 f ii f i'iuy-inree .uniion lows Supply Milk and Hutter for U. S. Consumer. ! j CHICAGO, July 21. The rnllk land hutt?r fat at present produced I hv e 2.T.000.000 dairy cows of the Knifed States could he produced by M '.'.ofoi I to if only purebred sires were at the head of each herd, accordintr to 'i survey made public here by the Natior.nl Institute of Progressive Farm in ir. In Denmark, which has tho most hlchly developed dairy industry in the world, the productiveness of cows i double that of the United State, it was pointed out. The world's champion milk and butter fat cows are In this country, but less than three-quarters of a million of the 2".)0.00t) producing dairy cows are purebred. This accounts for the fact that our average production is only one-half that of lenmark and Holland. An illustration of the profit in the use of purebred sires comes from - im-!,n"a State college, according to th j survey. In this instance the first . crovs breeding of natrve cows with I 1"' rebred Uolstein-Friesians showed increase of percent in milk p.-iind percent in butter tar. im second generation cows, which were three-quarter purebred, showed an increase of ISO percent in milk and 12 percent in butter fat over the production of the original native cows. If this process were followed in all herds the survey estimates that production would be about forty pounds of butter per capita instead of seventeen a year as at present. eit'ht or nine oounds of cheese lnthat American farmers are progres sing slowly but surely toward this standard.

In the Dakotas there are big educational committees at work and the program has the support of bankers and business men generally.

POULTRY DISEASE CAUSING LOSSES Fanners in Vicinity of Waterford, Elkhart County, Losing Many Chickens. The appearance of a new poultry disease in the locality around Waterford has caused lonse.s of from $1.000 to $1. 300 this sprint, according to reports from farmers in that neighborhood. A. J. Shoemaker, in Center town.-hip. has lost nearly 400 chicks from this disease, which has bee.i identified as coccidiofi-, but he has i been able to get it under control by the use of crude catechu in the drink - lrg water of the poultry at the rate of 1-:; teaspoonful of the catechu a gallon of water. The disease manifests itself by causing the chicks to become unthrifty; their feathers look ruffled. and they appear droopy or drowsy j before death. Mr. Shoemaker's1 chicks have been showing thee symtonis for a week or two, but he had not identified the disease until this week. The rapidity with which the treatment works is shown by the fact that on Tuesday morning Mr. Shoemaker found 40 dead chicks, wnlle on Wednesday m.orning. after the chickens had been drinking the water in which the catechu had been dissolved, only two dead chickis wtie found. other farmers in the neighborhood suffered losses from the same cause, and Peter Schlat, who lives near Waterford, lost .several hundred of his springers. If the catechu treatment is begun as soon as the chicks begin to show symfoms of coccidiosis it will not be difficult to control the disease and the loss will not be great. lWIlMKUS CO-OFFUATi: WITH (TM'NTY c;F.T I nil it ;kovin;.

And now comes the new method a certain method of Identifying the neighbor's cow that ate up the turnips in the vegetable patch. Dr. E. M. Keefe, vetoriarian in charge of the local olficc of the xtate department of agriculture declares that science has discovered a real "Hertillon system" of identifying bovines by their nose prints. And before very long dairymen. . or anyone ebj w ho keeps a cow. w ill : probably be forced by lav to photograph tho animal and then keep an ink imprint of the slippery end of the cow's face on the back of tho picture for purposes of full ldentilication. A cow's nose print is just as certain an identification as the finger JUDGES NAMED FOR LAPORTE CO. FAIR E. C. Bird, of South Bend, Is Named to Make Awards in Machinery Department.

To Be to Noses of Cows prina of a human being. Dr. Keefe says, and furthermore, there are no two noses alike in the entire bovine family. The discovery of the fact by Dr. Keefe. who is saM to be formerly of the University of Minnesota will prove of great value in preventing the falsification of records showing the animal's heritage. It also will prevent any fraud in milk production a well. It is claimed, as the nose prints cf each will tie checked on the page of the dairyman's ledger bearing the Iiertillon identification. The question confronting veterinairans now is just how readily will Mrs. Cow take to hav?ng her nose prints registered. Interviewed on this subject, one Jersey cow chewed her cud reflectively for a moment and then softly said "moo-o-o." All of which means In the bovine tongue "I should worry." The question has now arisen in scientific circles that If science had known this method of identification fifty years ago could it have been proven that after all it was not Mrs. O'l-ioary's cow that was responsiblo for the great Chicago fire. Who knows? Nobody but he cow's nose! from the standpoint of exhibits More prizes are being offered and in-di cations are, according to CountyAgent Puechner said that it was the are going to respond and send the best of their products. In speaking or the Judges. County Agent Ituechner said that is was the best arrayment of talent that has ever been brought to the county to tn.ake the awards. All the men art well versed in the classes which have been assigned to them, he said. Marshall County Soy Dean Tour August 15 The soy bean growers of the county have arranged for a tour on Aug. 15. All the growers cf soy beans are coming to realize that they have a greater value than they formerly believed them to have, and the interest is rapidly growing in the use of this crop. Considerirg thi.s increased interest, a good crowd is expected for the trip. Soy bean fields j are getting so numerous that one i won't have to drive many miles to inspect several fields, and it is to th interest of every farmer to take this day for the study of this crop. mki: criiTiriKi) ihjtatoms. Last March, DeKalb county farmers purchased a carload of certilie 1 ' reed potatoes of tho Rural New ! Yorker variety.
