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. •’w The Best Way J | Is to take your Shoes to Martin’s V®* \ ’’’l lo1 ’ Shop before lliey wear too fcv V©» Thirty Miles *° I,oxl Shop.

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.” OUR FIRST DREADN/ JGHTS. 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.
