In the record of the dairy herd of the State College of Agriculture
given above, specific attention is called to the annual returns per cow for
the ten-year period. For the first year the total amounted to $86.49 per
cow. This has gradually increased until during the past year the sales per
cow amounted to $205.33. The herd was established with native cows
that cost an average of $34.50 per head. In 1908 a few registered Jersey and
Holstein females were purchased. High-class bulls of the two breeds have
been in constant use In the herd. By the application of the funda
mental principals of breeding and feeding, the average earning capacity
per cow has been increased almost two and one-half times in a period of
ten years.
There are some cows in every herd that may be called boarders be
cause they do not furnish enough milk to pay for their keep. These may
he weeded out by keeping individual records of each cow and the figures
given above show that it pays. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon
the point that the best way to start a herd paying dividends is to soil off the
boarders and put at the head of the herd a good pure bred bull that has a
line of high producing ancestry.
Proper feeding goes a long ways towards making a paying herd, for
the feeding of dairy cows is an art. Write the State College of Agriculture
for methods of feeding based on several years’ experience under Georgia
conditions. An Interesting and instructive bulletin entitled, "How to
Make Good Butter," has just been issued by the College.
The present crisis finds not enough dairy cows in the country to
furnish all the demands made on the milk supply. Some good dairy ani
mals are being butchered at an early age and farmers are urged to save
these for breeding stock and to furnish a supply of one of the cheapest and
most desirable of all human foods. Her product should be used more
widely ns a substitute for meat,, fish, canned vegetables and other products
which cost infinitely more in proportion to their nutritive value.

IT WAS VERY GOOD COAL.
That It Was Spisod With Gunpowder
Made It Ail the Betttr.
In reviewing his early life In Con
stantinople Sir Edwin Pears tells an
amusing story of a coal contractor who
was supplying the British feet with
fuel. A commissariat officer < u one oc
casion went to him to say ti t a man
of-war had Just arrived In the Bos
porus and was ordered to i roceed to
fhe Crimea with distinguished officers
on board, but it was short of coal.
The contractor answered that one of
his small sailing vessels had just ar
rived laden with a cargo of coal and
thut he would arrange to have it dis
charge the fuel directly on hoard the
man-of-war.
A day or two later when the contrac
tor saw his manager he asked what
had been done with about ninety kegs
of gunpowder that had been stowed on
the top of the coal.
"Oh. we found nil the kegs empty,”
said the manager. "There Vns no pow
der to remove.”
During the next three weeks the
contractor lived in constant dread. lie
feared that every ship coming from
the Crimea would bring news of an
explosion on the man-of-war and an
order for his arrest. lie became ill
from anxiety.
One day. a fortnight later, he heard
with fear and trembling from his Inner
office the voice of the commissariat
officer asking to see the merchant who
had supplied the ship with coal. Ho
put on a bold face and went out.
“Vos, you're the man,” said the com
missariat officer In a loud vo ce. "You
gave us 300 tons of coni. It's the best
we have ever had. Instead of our
having to stop the ship while we clear
ed tile funnels whenever there is a new
firing up the smoke goes with a puff
that clears the funnel itself I want
300 tons more; but, mind, it must be
of the same quality.”

And the Paper Battleship tbs U. 8. 8.
Scared-o’-Nothing.
One of tlie most interest!!! ; episodes
hi Vice Admiral Sims’ earn .• was his
championship in the years 1903-4 of
the all big gun ships, the dreruluaughts.
Tills was two years before the British
brought out their first divadnaught,
revolutionizing tlie naval construction
policy of tlie world. Tlie progenitor of
the dreadnought Idea In the American
navy was Lieutenant Homer 0. Pound
stone. Foundstone for m : , had
treasured the idea of all big ;;t;n ships,
hoping to win the support of the navy
for such a construction change. Meet
ing discouragement, he sought out
Commander Sims. He quickly won
Sims’ support.
Foundstone was a good draftsman,
and ho and Sims in 1903 and 1904 made
sketches and drew plans for a big gun
ship. Tlie navy heads vetoed the plan
of tlie two officers as often as they
brought It up for consideration, but
Sims never abandoned the idea. Tho
ship became a great joke around the
navy department. It is a striking co
incidence that the name given by these
two officers to their paper battleship
and the name by which tho ship was
known in the navy offices was the
U. S. S. Scared-o’-Nothing. Two years
afterward the British admiralty called
its first all big gun ship Dreadnaugbt.
Commander Sims convinced Presi
dent Roosevelt that the dreadnnught
was bound to come. As a result tho
plans for the battleships Michigan and
South Carolina, which had already,
been authorized to be built iu the old
way, were changed so thut they slid
from the ways the first American
dreadnaughts.—World’s Work.
The Engineer Corps.
Tlie duty of tlie corps of engineers in
the United States army In the time of
war consists of planning and con
structing fortifications, procuring infor
mation concerning the topography of
the country, supplying maps, selecting
position for camps, constructing or de
stroying bridges and often work re
quiring technical skill; in time of
peace, to plan and construct permanent
fortifications and coast defense, build
lighthouses, superintend river and har
bor improvements, survey and estab
lish boundaries, etc.
