The tester spends one day a month on each farm and a complete record of each cow’s milk and butter fat production, feed consumed, feed cost, growth and income and income over feed cost is obtained.

Rainy Weather For Inaugural Is Customarv

TWLNTV OFT OF 35 ( ERKMONIKS MARRED BY OUTBREAK OF ELEMENTS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (T'P)_ Bad weather threatens Herbert Hoover’- inauguration, if the averages of |iast inaugurals mean anything. Twenty out of 35 inaugurations so far have been marred by rain, snow and other disturbances, March 4 being one of the capital’s most inclement dates. C t 1 The inaugurations of Taft, Cleveland, Harrison and Polk, were made highly disagreeable by the weather to tens of thousands of spectators. Bad weather this year would probably reult in the ceremonies being held inside the capitol building, instead of on the spacious capital plaza, under the precedent of William Howard Taft ju-t 20 years ago. WinteV has not let go of Washing-

I fetred to the Senate chamber, where 1 only a few hundred attended. That j was before the day of radio and voice | amplifiers which take the voices of | speakers outside of their buildings. Both Grant inaugurations were accompanied hy hitter cold, and it is related that a confusion in checking of wraps at the inaugural ball compelled many guests to brave the streets on the night of the second celebration | with very few outer garments. President James X. Foik gave his j inaugural speech to a magnificent as- i semblage of umbrellas. It rained throughout his oath and speech. The weather makes a great deal j more difference now than in the old days, even though the radio will enable millions of stay-at-homes to hear the ceremonies without taking a chance of getting wet or slipping on the ice. The early inaugurations were all held within the capitol. Washington rode seven days from Mt. Vernon to New York, with cities along the way paying him great honors. John Adams was inaugurated in the house of representatives at Philadelphia. Thomas Jefferson was the first to be sworn in at the new capital in Washington, and his speech was made in

the Senate chamber.

Lincoln's first inaugural was noteworthy for the elaborate military pro

| county varies a great deal and we find one farmer barely paying feed i costs on his dairy herd while his : neighbor is securing a nice profit each

year.

| The average production for a cow j in Putnam county runs close to 150 I pounds of butter fat a year, figuring for the total number of 5877 cows we produce 888,560 pounds of butter fat a year. A cow, to he profitable, should produce more than this and a good standard to be set and one that can be reached is 300 pounds of butter fat per year per cow. Figuring on this basis still producing the same amount of fat, 888,550 pounds from cows producing 300 pounds of fat, we could cut down the number ot eows to 2038, still receive the same yearly amount for our butter fat and save the cost of the investment on 2080 cows, and the feed and labor re-

quired to handle them.

A few farmers in Putnam county are maintaining herds at the present that produce an average of 300 pounds of fat per cow. Many aie not Remember the dairy legume day is planned to a-sist you in reaching this

.300 pound goal.

Kt oSOMY IS NEEDED

Are you able to tell, at the present time, the amount of butterfat each cow in your herd is pmducing, tin amount of feed she is consuming, the cost of the feed, returns on the feed cost? Are you -ure you are feeding a good balanced ration that is economical to feed, and are you feeding each cow according to the amount of milk she produces? Ail of these are essentials in profitable dairying. A number of farmers in the county are talking about the cow testing association and are anxious to secure enough to stait an association. If you are interested see your County Agent at the dairy legume meeting and talk it over with him. One man in Clay county obtained the following result-- hy joining an association. At the tiist month’s check-up it was costing $1.31 per hundred to produce milk. After making a few changes and feeding according to instruction he reduced hicost of production to 82c per hundred and increased profit of 4!)c per bundled or $26.00 for his entire herd. Another man in the same association living in Putnam county made an average increase as follows: June average butter fat production per herd. 22.6 Mbs.; July, average butter fat production, per head, 25.4 lbs.; August, average butter fat production per

herd, 29.3 lbs.
