' 'Plie dairy herd at the elation, was established in 189ei, aad the bulletin covers the petioci of ete years. In order to ma,ke comparleon of results 011 besis ot type, the herd was divided into three eiasses-the small dairy, the large dairy, and the duiti-perpose type. Pasture was figured at $1.50 per month, and other feeds at average Wisconsin reelect prices; while the butter was figured, at 20 cents rOr pound, and the skim milk at 1.5 cents per 100 pounds. The butter was computed on tbe basis of 85.7 Per, cent of of one pound of butter- fat -in the milk equivalent to one pound of finished butter. The results reached by the Ex- periment Station as summarized were as follows 1 ' "Cows of the large dairy type preferahle.--From the data present- ed it well be seen that, everything considered, cows in group 13, repre- senting the large 'dairy type, are clearly in the lead for economic pro- duction of milk and butterfat. The results of over four sears' work with cows of the extreme dairy type, represented in group A, not only failed to establish the claims for the superiority of cows "of ties type over a much larger and 'apparently stronger dairy 'type, but clearly showed that they are not as largo producers, nor as profitable 'dairy animals, as the latter. '"nhat the extreme dairy type has been popular, at least in this state, is evinced, among other reasons, by the fact that three of the cows sel- ected for the university herd at our .solicitation by prominent dairymen of our state were fair representatives of this type of cows, and are 'includ- ed in group A. Our investigations have been conducted uder the most favorable conditions possible for this type of cows; the stable in which they have been kept is considered a model one, as regards cleanliness, light, ventilation and, general com- fort of the animals, and water is provided for thorn in the stalls so that they are not exposed in- clement weather at any time. They nee given the best of care and at- tention at all times; being fed lib- erally; kept during the hot summer months in the cool, darkened barn, protected from sun and dies; and are fed various green feeds and grain in summer, as well as protected from cold in winter. "In view of the ever-increasing demands on the part of dairymen for cows that will hae-e endurance and a.bility to withstand diseases, as well as great productive capacities, we do not hesitate to state that in our opinion it is not the part of wisdom for our 'dairymen to select the small refined cows with a spare habit of body in an extreme degree as the most 'desirable type of dairy cows.

According to the London Globe, the steadily increasing number ot de- partures from New South Wales and Victoria, Inc Canada, South Africa and even Groat Britain. is beginning to awaken alarm in the common- wealth. During the first six months of the past year, according to °fed - al reports, no fewer than 16,327 per- - sons left New South Wales alone for ports outside the Coinnionerealth, the emigration exceeding the immigration 2,116. In addition, there bas been a large influx of New South Wales and Victorian population into West- ern Ahstralia. This is one of the immediate effects of socialist 'labot legislation in the Mother State and Victoria. The people who are leaving Australia, are no mere birds of pas- sage.

Potatoes to be used for seed, ought to be selected the previous fall. Only medium-sized tubers should be used. The practice of selecting small po- tatoes of unmarketable size for seed is contrary to the pi inciples of plant breeding. Growers should select seed Which is typical of the potatoes they wish to produce. Neither the largest, nor smallest are best, but those of uniform size. Tees° potatoes during the winLer should be kept in a coolcellar, where tithe will be subject neither to fr,ost nor to heat from the fur- nace. If a cellar furnishing the pro- per conditioes cannot he secured, tnen the potatoes should be banked in the fall and covered securely with straw and earth to keep them from freed ng.
