There is no definite measure of the decrease that the cow Is likely to experience after she has aborted, but our observation has taught us that most heifers that abort while carrying their first calf, if they abort at five months or so, will usually not milk more than to of what they will normally produce after a good fitting and a normal calving. If they abort at seven months or nearer the normal calving period they will milk a considerably greater quantity but not often more than half the production they would one-fourt- h one-thir- d normally produce. Cows that have calved normally once or twice and that do not abort too early will often milk within 15 or 20 per cent of their normal proOur observation has been duction. that the decrease In production depends upon the time that the abort ing takes place and the age of the cow or the number of previous calvings, writes Dr. George 11. Conn of Stephenson county. Illinois, in the Trairle Farmer. We have had cows under our care that at mature age following an abortion produced 11000 pounds of milk In twelve months, and the first year following a normal calving (the normal calving taking place within fifteen months after the previous abortion) the same animal produced over 25,000 pounds of milk Several animals from a herd under our care nearly doubled their production after they had recovered from abortion disease. Under ordinary conditions abortion disease in the dairy herd can be expected to reduce the milk yield In aborting cows from g By ELMO SCOTT WATSON Drawing by Ray Walters. T SEEMS that the American people are becoming for It Is a curious fact that more people than ever before, who have an j thing to leave after their deaths and any- one to whom to leave it, are making wills. Just why this Is true Is not easy to determine. It may be due to the psychological factor Involved In the statement that A will Is the only permanent expres sion of himself that the average man Or it may be leaves to posterity. caused by the fact that the Increasing number of cases of litigation in opr courts, resulting from pet sons dying Intestate, has impressed upon us the value of a will in guard ng against sordid disputes which have wrecked the happiness of families, although it must be admitted that not even a will can always prevent .that. Then again It may be due to the fact that hank era and lawyers are constantly urging their clients to Make a will. Do it now. Don't put it off, for tomorrow may never come. If, in urging upon us the necessity for performing this important task before we lay down our lifes task, the bankers and lawyers needed a good object lesson, what better could be found than that offered In the following news stories vhich appeared In the newspapers within recent months: Cedar Rapids, Iowa Three hours affection.

Twenty pages in length, it contained legacies, some large and some small, to every one who had ever been polite to him or showed kindness to others in his presence. They included bequests to a conductor who had paid an old ladys fare; to a clerk who carried home a sick dog; to a five-yea- policeman who helped a blind man across the street. Bellhops were remembered for acts of courtesy ; stage comedians for having made people laugh, and editors and ludges for hav camhumanitarian lug sponsored paigns.

Contrast with that th meekness of the Englishman who left all his estate to his wife trusting, yea, I may say, as I think assuring myself that she will marry no man, for fear to meet with so evil a husband as I have been to her. - Contrast also the consideration shown by Gouverneur Morris, the New York statesman, who left his wife a fortune and further provided that in case ot her remarriage, the income should be doubled.

Abagail, to whom he bequeathed the use of my lands and meadows and a sufficiency of firewood and the liberty of dwelling in which of my houses she pleascth to live during her widowhood and no longer. That was many years ago If John were living now he might not find it so easy to take out his spite on Abagail, for during the last year the New York legis lature, recognizing the evil which men may do in the wills they leave behind them, enacted further limitations than those already existing upon a testators rigid to disinherit.

Many authorities figure the average loss per cow due to abortion disease In those herds that are affected at $25 per cow, hut In our experience we believe that nearer twice this amount. under present methods of operating the pure-bredairy herd, would be d nearer correct. Tlie pure-bre- d herd owner will be more likely to put forth a vigorous effort to eliminate abortion disease from his herd when once he figures definitely wliat this disease Is costing him. Thp cost can very easily be determined from the decreased production from that which he could normally expect from his herd and the loss of the calves which Is due to abortion disease. In many pure-breherds where offspring is sold at high prices this loss will sometimes amount to several thousand dollars per year. In such herds as this large sums of money can be profitably spent if necessary to eliminate the disease from the herd. d Alfalfa Hay Excellent Source of Mineral Lime Alfalfa hay stands supreme as a source of that important mineral, lime. 30 A cow producing d pounds of milk daily requires a little over four ounces of lime daily for maintenanee and milk production. Ten pounds of alfalfa hay alone will supply over three ounces of this requirement, and other feeds in the ration will ordinarily supply the balance. Where dairymen feed liberally of alfalfa hay, the problem of supplying sufficient available calcium is very blight. Ail other minerals are abundantly provided with liberal feeding. 1,000-poun- g. 4 - t ; : : t- - ' : . - Dairy Hints Dehorn the young calf with caustic. The dry roughages such as corn stover, oat and wheat straw and timothy hay, are less valuable than legume hay for milk production. Silage's chief value is its succulence. One should avoid feeding too much of it, since it is bulky and contains a low percentage of digestible nutrients.

Water, and lots of it, is very important in dairy cattle feeding. Cows in milk should Lave water twice daily, and it should not be ice cold. It pays to put a heater in the water tank if It is outside in freezing temperature. When skim milk-fecalves tend to scour and blood meal does not prove remedial, add one ounce of lime water to each pint of milk fed daily, or one teaspoonful of a mixture of f ounce of formalin and fifteen and f ounces of boiled water to be kept in an amber colored bottle one-hal- one-hal- PROVO Utahs apple crop for 192S was 880,000 at $704,000. bushels, valued A.

BRIGHTON Nine Inches of snow fell at Brighton during the blizzard which began Sunday night and lasted through Monday, according to a report to the city waterworks department from the watershed station at the mountain town Tuesday. It is one of the heaviest falls recorded at that point this early in the year. MORONI At a special city council meeting recently the mayor of Moroni was authorized te place an order for more than one mile of four-inccast Iron pipe which will be used to replace wood pipe in 'the city water system. This will be a cash purchase, the money representing savings in various departments for the operation of city government during the past two years. OGDEN After discovering that Its funds were insufficient to meet the eniire expense of purchasing and installing lights at the Ogden airport, the city commission referred the matter to Commissioner Fred E. Williams, with power to act. Under instruction from the commission, Mr. Williams, conferred with Eugene R. Alton, president of the chamber, and it was announced later that terms had been agreed upon by which the lights will be installed. GUNNISON Record beet crops have been produced this year in Sanpete and Sevier counties, according to R. T. Harris, treasurer of the Gunnison Sugar company.
