ESTING ASSOCIATIONS T N..ANY MEMBERS WEIC:IL EACH MILKING DAILY. By Chas. F. Whitley, Dairy Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. In 1904 the Dairy and Cold Stor- age Branch of the Department of Agriculture uhdertook some prelim- inarywork in three counties in Que- bec to gauge the attitude of farm- ers towards cow testing and to ga- ther data for driving home some forceful comparisons. Sevouty herds were then under observation. With a view of arousing more wide- spread interest in the movement, the next year saw a change in me- thods, and seven localities in On- tario, Quebec and Prince Edward Islandwere selected for a thirty - day test, and over 1,360 cows were recorded. In January 1906 the first cow test- ing .association was organized at Cowansville, Que. Sixteen asso- ciations commenced work that year with entries of over 4,000 cows. The plan in brief provides for the or- ganization of any number of dairy farmers into an association, the members electing officers and a committee of management. Mem- bers agree to weigh the milk of each cow in the herd night and morning on at least three days every month throughout the entire period of lac- tation, and to' take samples of each of the six milkings. These com- posite samples are TESTED ONCE A MONTH at the nearest cheese factory or creamery. blembers provide them- . selves with scales, sampling dipper, and one sample bottle for each cow. The Dairy Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture has so far pro- vided all blank record forms free, together with preservative tablets and sulphuric acid for testing. In addition to this the Department has paid the local makers at the fac- tories for testing each sample every month. Many members have taken the next step in systematic testing and are now weighing each milking daily, and recording the weights and 'kinds of feed consumed. The Department also supplies a small bookletfor keeping an account with each cow in the herd. In 1907 there were 52 associations, increasing in 1908 and 1909, till in 1910 this number had grown to 167, with 11,850 cows, being recorded. In addition to these associations, re- cords are kept of over 600 cows owned by individual dairymen, while more than 20,000 forms for daily milk records were supplied Last year to applicants. The early months of 1911 saw a further enlargement of the asso- ciation plan in the establishment of Dairy Record Centres in Oxford, Peterborough and Lanark counties, Ontario ; St. Hyacinthe and Brome, Quebec; and Kensington, Prince Edward Island. The official in charge of each centre, besides su- pervising the regular association work is taking a dairy census of his district and dispensing dairy infor- mation. Specific, concentrated ef- fort of this kind continifed in each locality for several years, should prove of the utmost value. FACTS AND POSSIBILITIES. Cow testing has had a remarkable influence on profitable dairying. Aiming at obtaining definite know- ledge of the actual production in milk and fat of each individsa: cow in the herd instead of resting con- Uc '4eneet-ing The °total yield o£ t° '"" .e herd and then estimat- e:1r n average per cow, cow testing ha§ been instrumental in opening 11 ,the eyes of scores of dairy farmers to £tots and possibilities. The cows ite " thet..do not pay for their feed are being discovered, those considered air ° only average are classified on their 4li merits, many thought the best in the herd ate found to be poor, and some even not to be worth keep ing: Cows are selling for higher prices as their racerds prove their value as producers, good herds are being built up as the worthless cows are oliininated and heifers from the bast dams are retained; young hulls from the good cows arc in active demand at remunerative prices.' More milk is being obtained per 'heed and oven from a smaller herd; hence more milk comes from a given areal which: lowers the cost t of making at the factory. .As the cows are handled better, owing to the desire to increase the record, the milk and cream are cared for better, so that the factory work is lightened while the duality -is .un- proved. Cow testing is working a revolution in the condition of stables. Owners see by the records that it pays to provide ventilation and abundance of light; and they notice that health improves and the yield increases as the animals and stables are kept thoroughly clean. A new order of feeding is commencing on farms where here- toforedry straw was the winter's menu; corn and roots are being grown so that a cow with any latent possibilities in her may be develop- ed as a producer. With the more careful feeders the grain ration is being apportioned according to the yield of fat so that true economy of production is the rule. Many correspondents testify that cow testing is interesting the boys and girls on the farm. Another bright resulting feature is the tremend- ous saving being effected in time, energy, feed and unnecessary labor that was bestowed on animals not worthy the name of dairy cows. A vast amount of power and human energy has been wasted on such thankless guests, but the dairyniaa is awakening to the fact that cow testing is a valuable time-saver and labor -saver as the poor cows are DETECTED AND BEEFED. The tangible additions to incomes are not the ]east satisfactory results of a few minutes per month spent in recording milk yields from indi- vidual cows. Sample letters from members read as follows. From one in an Ontario association: "My herd has increased from 5,000 to 8,- 000 pounds of milk for each cow in two years." This is a 60 per cent. increase. Another Ontario member states: "In 1907 the ayerage yield was 3,794 pounds of milk, in 1910 it was 6,000 pounds." This is an increase of 2,206 pounds per cow, or 50 per cent in three years. From Quebec comes: "In 1908 our cows gave a revenue of $90 each, but in 1910 it was $41.43," or more than twice as much. From the same province is the statement: "Previ- ous to weighing and keeping records our average returns per cow were only about $40, last year we got $69." This is an increase of 72 per cent. A member in Nova Scotia writes : "From four cows in 1908 I sold 587 pounds of butter; from six cows in 1910 I sold 1,400 pounds." This is an increase of 68 per cent. One in New Brunswick says : "I have just about doubled the aver- age yield of milk." One in Prince Edward Island writes: "My herd now gives'me three times as much milk per cow." From British Co- lumbia comes the statement: "We have more than doubled our aver- age per cow;" and from the same province: "I have raised the aver- age yield of fat by forty pounds per cow." Such definite gains surely fur- nish the strongest possible incen- tive for every dairy farmer to take up cow testing systematically. • ATE BREAD 2,000 YEARS OLD. Guests at Dinner Spread it With Butter of Elizabeth's Reign. One of the oddest dinners ever given was that in Brussels, Bel- gium, recently, of which a guest says:—"At that dinner I ate ap- ples ripened more than eighteen hundred years ago, bread made from wheat grown before the Chil- dren of Israel passed through the Red Sea, and spread with butter which was made when Elizabeth was Queen; and I washed down the repast with wine that was old hun- dreds of years before Shakespeare was born." This seems at first blush an incredible story; but it appears that the apples were from an earthen jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii ; the wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the Pyramids; the butter from a stone shelf in an old well in Scot- land, where for several centuries it had lain in an earthen crock in icy water; while the wine was re- covered from an old vault in the city of Corinth, • WILL SEND CANNON '1O MINT, The French Government has just decided to send several old Cannon to the mint to be turned into mon- ey. Several okl fortroeses aro be- ing dismantled and these breeze cannon are no longer necessary, so it has been thought bother to cen- veast them into awns than to throw hem on the scrap heap. SPEED OF A BIIINOCi,ROS, Chased a Hunting Party and Got Away in. Safety. Out he burst at last with a crash- ing of brush and timber, xeaobing the open just in front of me; step- ped for a minute to sniff the breeze, then advanced at quick trot ta- ward. my pony, writes Dora Vat#- deleur in the Empire Review,. Being mounted and inexperiene- ed, I felt a false sense of security; he lumbered toward us with surpris- ing swiftness, yet it seemed so dif- ficult. tobelieve this uncouth animal bent on mischief that I simply sat dill and watched its approach. The pony stoed this inaction as long asits nerves allowed, which 1 'should ,judge was until the crea- ture had got within eight' or ten Yards; then wheeled with a; most disooncerning suddenness, and set off like the wince across the level. Fast though the pony flew (anal having caught his panic, I was urg- ing him to do his utmost), to my; horror and astonishment the rhino not only had no difficulty in keep- ing up, but gained. I heard a shot, and then another, and looked back over my shoulder hopefully; the creature was coming on faster than before! A third shot came from somewhere on my right, and I felt the pony slacken his pace; evidently the last bullet had found a billet somewhere in the rhino's thick hide, for to my surprise and relief hehad wheeled round sharply, and set off at a clumsy gallop across the plain at right angles to his former direc- tion. The whole party followed in hot pursuit, even the Irishterrier puppy which accompanied us 00 all out expeditions rushed as hard as he could, tumbling head over heels upon the tussocks of coarse grass, and emitting shrill yaps of defiance We could not get near enough to get another shot at the rhino; it was amazing that such a great unwieldy brute could travel at the pace he did, far quicker than a horse's gallop. Finally we had to give up the chase, much to our disappointment, for my sister and I had been longing for a rhinoceros horn to take home as a trophy ever since we started on our month's trip up country. THE TREE OF TRUTH. How an Officer Was Detected of a Theft. In her recent book descriptive of the Island : of Cuba, Irene A. Wright has given a pretty legend told her in Guanajay, a town not far from Havana. "Opposite its principal cafe is the plaza, na esu ally attractive, it seemed to me; in its little plots of soil the roses bloom the year, roau1. ddjolning the cafe building is the clurch; its altars are curious, and l have since heard, regarding one of the trees of the small yard about it, the best legend told me with refei- enee to any locality in Cuba. In the shade of that tree roe must speak the truth. "In the early years,—the story goes,—when Indian chiefs were still powerful enough to make it worth the Spaniards' while to pla- cate them, the daughter of a caci- que of a Guanajay tribe was robbed of a wonderful necklace of pearls. So great was her father's wrath hat it became necessary to pun- sli someone for the theft; and as the culprit could not be identified, they pitched upon a young man who, by some unhappy circum- stance, might safely be charged with the crime. "The young man was condemned to die, though he denied his guilt up to the very moment of execu- tion. A priest, mounted on a mule, accompanied him to the spot where the church now stands, where death was to be inflicted. "The victim, still protesting that he had stolen no pearls, asked for ten minutes' final grace, and it was granted. "The firing -squad stood close at hand, and especially near was the officer in charge. The priest, still mounted on Ins mule, kept close by the prisoner; and he, as the minues speeded, called upon San- tiago and upon Mary to heed his plight. "The padre's mule, at that crit- ical juneturo, snatched at a single leaf drifting down from the tree in the shade of which he rested, and missed it; but his teeth caught in the doublet of the officer in charge of the firing -squad, ripped it-open—and the missing pearls fell to the ground in the sight of all. t THEIR STYLE, By hard work and careful habits he had got together a little fortune. The time had arrived for him when walking was nolonger a pleasure, and so he decided that he was at last justified in ordering a family carriage. , Off he went one morning to a car nage builder's. and described in detail the kind of vehicle he wished to buy. "Of course, you'll want rubber tyres?" saki the carriage builder. "No, sir," replied the old man in tones of reuentment. "My folks ain't that k nd. When they're rid- ing they want to know it."

After an interval of a week, an- other case of smallpox was noti- fied at Bury the other day, bring- ing the total number of cases to 27. Collin's Music Hall, Islington Green, was sold at the Mart, Lon- don, for $50,000. Permission to take Australian aboriginals to England for show purposes has been refused by the Commonwealth Government. About fifty cases of measles are still being treated at the Royal Naval College, Osborne. An "In Memoriam" concert was held at the Queen's Hall, London, on May 6, in memory' of the late King Edward. One of the street donations ob- tained by Salvation Army collect- ors during the self-denial week was a $500 note. The Countess of Dundonald, of Gwrych Castle, Abergele, has pro- mised $1,250 to the fund which is being raised for the investiture of the Prince of Wales. A return recently issued shows that the cost of Civil Services has grown from £26,685,934 in 1903-4 to :246,787,873 in 1911-12. While a motor engine was travel- ing to a Bermondsey fire it skidded in Tower Bridge road, mounted the pavement, knocked down a tree, and killed a woman.

NEW CURIE FOR CANCER. Germany Using Fungus As Remedy For Extreme Cases. What appears to be a very pro- mising' experiment for the cure of caneer has lately been made in Germany. A fungus bearing the name of Mucor racemus malignus has been grown in malignant tum- ors of certain animals. This is not the irritant but a dead culture of it, which applied to the growth, causes it, as alleged, to subside. This remedy, called antimeristem by its discoverer, is not a specific but, like tuberculin, consists of the fungus itself and its decompos- ition products. In action is also resembles tuberculin, for after in- jection a febrile reaction takes place. It must be used only when an operation has become impos- sible, and even at that advanced stage cures have been effected. There is also a remedy of much the same nature for tumors for whieh no operation can .be made. This i.s called antituman and contains substances which go to build up the cartilaginous tissue of the animal body. The fact 'that cartilaginous tissue does not suffer from cancer led a Berlin pathologist to the idea of using this substance to stop the further development,of the cancer cells. After injection . of antitu- man a strong reaction sets in also. What success these remedies, will have remains to be seen. INEXPENSIVE FRIENDSHIPS.

The hundreds of international crooks andgrafters who intend visiting London this summer ' and are hopeful of reaping a bumper harvest during the coronation time will be annoyed to learn that Scot- land Yard has prepared 'extensive plans for their care and reception. Every device of the English law will be employed to keep thein out of the country and if they should happen to slip in, every device to harry and prevent them from doing business will be enforced. EXPECT SWARM OF CROOKS. Information which Scotland 'Yard has received leads it to believe that a perfect locust -like swarm of crooks from all lands intend to descend upon London this year. Superintendent Frank Forest, the head of the criminal department of Scotland Yard, is fully cognizant of the situation and is arranging the most effective deposition of his 800 detectives to cope with the un welcome invasion. Arrivals at every English port, inoleding Liverpool, Plymouth, Southampton, Fishguard, Dover, Folkstone and others, will be sub- Jected to a scrutiny by experienc- ed detectives from the yard and any recognized crook will be de- tained and rejected under the alien act. But this port precaution is only the skirmishing line 'of the campaign, so to speak. A large force of detectives will be set aside to spend their time at the leading hotels and restaurants watching for crooks and harrying them away if no real definite charge can be brought against them. The hotels will be most anxious to co-operate with Scotland Yard, not only prompted by the desire to rid their hostelries of undesirables, and to protect their guests, but for their own protection as well, as under the English law a hotel that har- bers thieves is liable to lose its license PLAN PERIODICAL RAIDS. Periodical raids and round -ups will be made at the various night resorts where these criminal pet- rels are sure to congregate. The section of the metropolitan police act which gives the police power to arrest anyone on suspicion of loit- ering about the streets for the purpose of committing a crime will be rigorously enforced.' Men with records, .or known to the police, will be generally judged by the English magistrates to lee loitering about for no good pur- pose, unless they can -definitely show to the contrary, and be sen- tenced to three months' imprison- ment. At the end of that time, un- der the new alien criminal act, which has been introduced, they will be deported, and if they show their noses again in England a two years' term will be the penalty. 'A CLUB FOR EACH WIFE. No Papuan Gentleman Idents Two. Wives With Same Weapon. The marriage customs of the Papuans are somewhat similar to those of many other savage races, The ceremony is largely• a matter of purchase. The men marry when they are about 18 years of age and the girls at '14 or even earlier, When a young lake man . desires to ,get married he visits the father of his prospective bride and puts forward his personal belongings as as inducement to the father to con- sent to the union. If a man has a gun he is a great personage and can demandany- thing, but besides their bows and arrows and spears most of the Papu- ans, have very, little. Even agricul- tural produce is scarce,. the only cultivation undertaken being on a very primitive scale. A little clearing is made by both men and women, and the women then grow bananas and sweet pota- toes. Tho ,leen are alawys armed, and ivhen the women go to tho patch to attend to their crops or gather the produce the men go with them as aprotectiori. The women, how- ever, do the work. Many families have a bundle of ancient Portuguese cloth centuries old, and when a young man is seeking a bride one of these heir- looms is generally part of the deal. The youth and the girl's father hag- gle over the marriage until eventu- ally they agree to terms and then the thing is done. The mon are not limited to one wife, and once a girl is married she is subject to her hus- band in everything and is practi- cally his slave, "In another part of New Gui- nea," says a writer in the Wide World, "I remember a distinctly strong confirmation of the custom which places a woman at the entire mercy of her , husband, At one house I visited I saw standing out- side the doorway three huge stone clubs, each large enough to fell a bullock. "On making enquiries I found that they tallied with the number of wives owing allegiance to the householder; the. clubs were used by the man to beat his wives with if they annoyed him. The quaint part of it was thatwhile the women seemed tei raise no objection to be- ing flogged unmercifully by ` their lord and master, they would not be beaten with the same weapon as that used on another woman, so the native kept a separate club for each, wife." FIRST CHILDREN. English Doctor Thinks They Aro the Poorest. "The law of inheritance should be altered so that not the eldest but the second or third son comes into the possession of title, proper- ty and position on the father's death." This revolutionary opinion was given by a physician with a large family practice in London when discussing the examinations of on- ly' and eldest children recently made in Vienna by Professor J. Friedjung, from which it would ap- pear that only the eldest children are usually timid, . neurotic, un- stable and hysterical, The professor had under exam- ination 100 such children, forty- five of them being boys. Of them all only thirteen were fully normal, Eighteen were severely neuropath- ic and sixty-nine showed nervous instability. "I have frequently noticed that the eldest children are often back- ward and neurotic," said the fam- ily physician referred to. "The eldest child has usually been the only child for a considerable period and the only child is the hubof the house. 'Everybody has to give way to it; .everything is sacrificed to it, and the child speedily suf- fees from exaggerated ego. Such a child is spoiled, pampered and im- properly fed. Even supposing that it is not true that the first child is naturally not so good as later chil- dren, he soon becomes not so good because of the, way he is treated. "In large families the healthy children, physically andmentally, are those which, having been born latest, are left to grow up by themselves and look after each other, instead of being coddled and shepherded by the parents, Child- ren of It big family are far fitter than those of one or. two children only." "Professor Friedjung,_:is quite right," said another physician. "The best children are born when the mother is aged from 28 to 35." 1 WOMEN OF SOUTH AFRICA. The South African woman is gen- erally very highly domesticated ; she is not only capable of managing her native servants very • cleverly, but sheds able to cook well, make jam and pickles, look after poultry, at- tend to the garden anti make her own' dresses and those of her chil- dren, says the Empire Magazine. Thesocial life in all South African towns' is a strong feature, clinking is a favorite amusement and holiday picnics on river banks are general. Women play tennis, croquet and golf and do a good deal of cycling. Life in South Afriee, ranges from old establixhed couture and luxury, with every surrounding convenience and taste, to the loneliness. of the veldt farm, and; to this life and her husband's interests, the English born girl soon adapts Herself if she is at all adaptable. She can he healthy, happy and 'free and usual- ly fairly prosperous, with more moneytospend than she wnnld have e in a similar position at horne. GERMANS PLAN CLOUD LINESa DREAl1I TO CONNECT LONDON ANA.NEW YORK. Two Companies Now Being Formed: to Carry Out the Idea of Promoters. Germany intends to lead the. world in the construction of great. lighter -than -air vessels to inaugu- rate navigation in the clouds on an. unprecedented scale, and accord= ing to information furifished by - the aeronautical expert, Captain Hildebrandt, two companies are. in process of formation for- this purpose. One of them with n capital of $10,000,000 has decided to adopt. the plans of Herr Boerner, a Ger- man engine., for the construction. of a giant airship, with a capacity of 120,000 cubic feet meters, so that.• the new vessel, will be eight times• larger than Count Zeppelin's lat- est creation. Herr Boer'ner's air- ship will be built on the rigid sys- tem; and the balloon will be divid- ed into thirty-eight compartments. to increase its buoyaney and to insure safety IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. The extreme length will be 775' feet, and the breadth 130 fent, and the vessel will be driven by thirty motors, each developing 30 horse- power. The ascent, with the aid. of the gas balloon, wul be assisted by a number of horizontal screws, and other propellors .will be pro- vided for driving the vessel in mid- air, There will be six officers and ninety-four men, of whom eighty- four will bo chaffeurs to tend the motors.. Apart from the officers and crew, numbering together 100,' • the airship will'' be capable of car- rying 200 passengers, and elabor- ate arrangements have been made for their comfort, including the provision of cabins with sofas,' which during the night can be- transformed e transformed into berths, and a. dining saloon of substantial size. A promenade deck will run around these cabins, -with an ap- proximate length of 1,200 feet. Ev- eryman of the crew and each pas- senger -will be provided wiL.i a par- achute, to be used in case of dis- aster. The vessel `will also carry a portable motor boat, packed in s ptions, which can be hastily put together in ease of need. I4 also intends to publish on board A SMALL NEWSPAPER, to be filled with the news obtained by means of the wireless tele- graphy apparatus with which the vessel will be equipped. The cost of each vessel is estim- ated at $600,000, and eight air- ships are to be constructed at this price at the outset.: It is estimated that the equipment of the cabins and of the dining saloon will in- volve an expenditure of $30,000 and the installation of electric light nn expenditure of $6,000. Two of the new airships, accord- ing to the plans of the organizer of the company, will be employed for passenger traffic between New York and London. Owing to the' greater quantity. of luggage car- ried on such voyages, the vessels will limit their number of passengers to 150, and the fare will be $200 per person, Captain Hildebrandt considers that Herr Boerner's plans must be taken seriously, although he is not oonvineed that they are practicable and is especially skeptical regard- ing the proposed trans-Atlantic service. 3� OBEYED INSTRUCTIONS. A . well-known lawyer, whom we may call John ;Jackson, because that is not his name, recently en gaged. a new office -boy. Said `. Mr. Jackson to the boy the other morn- ing "Who took away my waste -paper basket?"' "It was Mr. Reilly," said. the boa. is Mr, Reilly?" asked Mr., Jackson, "The porter, sir." An hour lathe Mr. Jackson ask- ed.:— "Jimmie, sk- ed:— "Jimmie, who opened the win- dow?„ "Mr. Peters, sir." "And who is itIr, Peters?" "The window -cleaner, sir." Mr. Jackson wheeled' about and looked at the boy. "Took here, James,"' 'ho said, "we call men by their first names hare, We don't ``mister' tlieni in this otice. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir.'"' In ten minutes the door- opened p and a small, shrill voice said: — "?'here's a man here as wants to s0e you, John.''" "I want to ask one more gees. tion; said little Frank as he was being put to 'bed. "Well?" as- quiesced the tired mainms. "When :eke come in stockings, what be- �uiues of the piece of 'stocking that was there before the hole came?"
