Several hundred farmers and their families from different parts of the county attended the big dairy picnic at Alonzo Andrews' farm near Union last Saturday afternoon*^ An excellent pro­ gram had been prepared and proved of great interest to all. The dairy cow demonstration in the forenoon by E. B. Heaton, county agri culturist of DuPage county, was very interesting and of practical worth to all who witnessed it. Mr. Heaton stated that there are several physical characteristics of a dairy cow that prove of great worth in determining her ability and profitableness as a dair> cow and these should always be kept in mind when purchasing or selecting a cow for one's herd. The first speaker of the afternoon was Dr. H. A. Harding, chief of the dairy department of our State College of Agriculture. Dr. Harding believes that business principals must be ap­ plied to farming and all its branches just the same as to any other business and only those operations that prove profitable should be practised year after year. In other words, by keep­ ing a system of cost accounts the farm er is able to determine the cost of pro­ ducing each of the different crops he raises, also the cost of producing the milk or pork or beef or any of the farm work and by so doing is able to determine the profit or loss that is de­ rived from each division of the farm. Many farmers are able to state how much they have made or lost for the year, but just which one of the farm divisions made it and which one made the most or caused the greatest loss they are unable to state. By a system of cost accounts such profits or losses are credited to the right place and if raising oats caused a los&, then the thing to do is to stop raising oats and raise a crop that does produce a profit, and so on with all the farm work. The address given by A. J. Glover of Ft. Atkinson, Wis., on Dairy Farm Management was pronounced one of the best ever given in McHenry coun­ ty. He stated that too little attention is being given to the real factors of dairy farming that are profitable and on which the future success of the dairy business is dependent. He also stated that it is the duty of every farm­ er to know which his best cows are and to breed up his herd by using the best pure bred dairy sire he can buy and then raise the calves from his best cows. The greatest possible improve­ ment must come thru the use of the well bred sire and the dairyman who heads his herd with a red scrub of non-dairy type and breeding is certain­ ly on the right road to failure. The dairy man must also raise those crops that are suitable to dairy farming and will give the greatest possible returns per acre. Mr. Glover believes that the benefits derived from the Cow Testing association are of much great­ er worth than the actual cost and that farmers should welcome an opportu­ nity to join one. E. B. Heaton, in summing- up the value of the Cow Testing association, stated that it enabled the farmer to find out which cows were making hinp a profit and which were the boarders, to feed a balanced ration and accord­ ing to the amount that each cow gave, to purchase more economical feeds and to maintain his own herd by raising the calvi^i from his best cows. The report of the two testing asso­ ciations given by the testers, J. J. Sloyan and H. F. Rhodes, were of con­ siderable interest and showed that there was a wide difference in the profits derived from different cows in the same he ids. B. L. Thomas of Greenwood and P. P. Fillmore of Huntley both stated briefly the benefits they had derived from cow testing work. Each attrib­ uted his success in building up a prof­ itable herd to information gained while keeping a record of each of his cows and weeding out the unprofitable pro­ ducers. The tuberculosis quarantine was very ably discussed by Hon. Edward D. ShurtleiT of Marengo, who has looked into the situation quite carefully with a view to the future effect of the quar­ antine. As stated by Mr. Shurtleff, the quarantine order makes it unlawful to ship cattle into the state of Illinois for breeding purposes unless they are tuberculin tested, also to ship cattle from any one or all of the five counties mentioned in the quarantine order in­ to any other county of the state is pro­ hibited. Cattle can be moved' anywhere in the five quarantined counties without being tested. Mr. shurtleff also stated that many states had made laws pro­ hibiting stock being shipped in from other states unless they were tubercu­ lin tested and if such a law was good for them to buy their stock by it was also a good law tor them to sell by, consequently the authorities of Illinois issued a proclamation stating that all stock shipped into this state for other than beef purposes must be tuberculin tested. Mr. Shurtleff also stated that every farmer should be able to raise his own stock and not have to depend upon other states for his supply. By the use of a pure bred sire and good cows a profitable herd can soon be built up and the chances of getting poor ones then iB practically eliminated. Several well rendered selections were given by the Franklinville quartette, which helped to make toe program more interesting to all. % ! ! ' Any Man or Woman can transform a softwood floor into a perfect imitation of a beautifully grained hard wood floor in a few minutes with Chi-Namel and the Chi-Namel Self-Grainer JTHENRT PLAINDEALPR, JMTHENItT, HJk Or an old hard wood floor, furni­ ture, etc., may be made to look like new, with a harder, more durable finish than it had originally. Chi-Namel colors the wood, and var­ nishes it at the snmc time, and the sur­ face is so hard that walking or washing will not remove the gloss.

I believe that the public is entitled to know that it gets a fair standard of ser­ vice and at a fair price, and that the corporation makes a fair business profit. I feel tha< the PUBLIC IS ALSO ENTITLED TO AN ASSURANCE THAT ITS LIFE, HEALTH AND PROPERTY ARE SAFEGUARDED IN THE UTMOST DEGREE. I believe^ that the public and employees of the company are entitled to know that every possible safeguard is thrown about the life and health of the employees. I BELIEVE IN A FAIR WORK­ ING OUT OF EMPLOYERS LIABILITY. - I believe in putting the burden of TAXATION ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAM BEST AFFORD TO BEAR IT, and who get the most benefit from the stability which this government offers to income and capital. I believe in an income tax exempting moderate incomes, and one in which the ratio of taxation--when the in­ come is enjoyed by a private individual--increases as the income itself increases in size. I believe the rate of taxation, under the present Income Tax law, upon large in­ comes Is too low, and when that me&sure was before congress I offered an amendment which provided higher rates of taxation upon such incomes, but it was defeated. 1 believe in an Inheritance Tax tempting moderate, inheritances, but one in which the ralic of taxation increases as the size of the inheritance itself increases. I believe in tks * vtlon of all the national and state resources for the benefit of all the people. I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION, BUT I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION THAT RE­ DUCES, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, THE COST OF THE CHEAPER ARTICLES that are necessarily consumed by the poorer people, and, if additional revenue must be raised from this source* that the tax on the LUXURIES THAT ARE ENJOYED BY THE RICH­ ER PEOPLE BE MADE TO STAND SUCH INCREASES, as far as possible. I believe in the principle of a non-partisan tariff commission, so that we may have the services of disinterested, experts in adjusting our tariff schedules. I am more titan ever convinced of the absolute necessity of a primary law. I believe in the protection of childhood, and since entering congress I have drafted and introduced a bill which, if enacted, would exclude from Inter-State Commerce the products of child labor. One of the reasons why this bill did not pass is, that I am a member of a minority party, but I am happy to say that the substance of my bill, labeled by the nasae of another congressman, 1B now before congress and, in my opinion, will ul­ timately become a law. ' 1 believe in the principle, and I shall work for the enactment of such a law, entirely without regard to whether it bears -my name or the name of another. If the children have the protection of the law I care not who has the credit for it. To «"•» up my platform in one sentence: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROGRES­ SIVE REPUBLICAN, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE PRESENT HOPE OF PROGRES­ SIVE REPUBLICANISM LIES WITH THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. I BELIEVE IN THE POLICIES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, NAMELY, "A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY," AND i AM FOR HIM FOR PRESIDENT IN 1916. IRA C.
