Testing Shows ~ LargeIncrease Substantial Gain in Average Milk and Fat Production Rerurded in Dominion Under the cow testing serviee of the Dominion Department of Agricul- | ture, a total of 4,291 herds, including 41,868 cows, was recorded during 1932, This represents an increase of 3,096 herds and 29,726 cows within a period of six years. Also, an in- . crease of 703 pounds of milk and . or more in the calendar herds, 8,368 cows, of which 4,870 aver- 55.06 pounds of butterfat per cow is recorded, as compared with six years ED. Ee awover, the most impressive fea- ture of the cow testing report of 1932 is the genuine interest and per- severence in tha work evidenced by the owners of herds who are now quite convinced as to the usefulness of production records as-a basis for tackling their feeding, breeding and management problems, This past year of the 41,868 cows, 22,382 or 53.45 per cent, were recorded for eight. or more months, averaging 5,903 pounds of milk and 237.80 pounds of butter- fat, with an average test of 3.99 per|" cent.

The wonder of his work does not lie in the liquid belium; it has been iiquified by five other physicists, His :.mbition, writes Ransome Sutton in The Los Angeles Times, was- to find an inexpensive method of producing temperatures wherein practically all gases can tither be liquified or frozen solid and studied in their various states. If we knew water only in the form of oxygen and hydrogen we would never realize that liquid water can be used to float boats on or to keep lawns green, And if we had never seen frozen water, who woull understand its marvelous properties? Since Goetz created an atmosphere of 270 degrees below zero centigrade, which lacked only 3.2 degrees of being as cold as cold can be, people -are asking what kind of 'a thermometer he employed. Mercury would not do; it freezes as minus 39 degrees. Pro- fessor Goetz used a lead coil connect- ed with an electric current. At ordi- nary temperatures, lead is a very poor conductor of electricity. Like many other metals, however, the colder it gets the less resistance It offers to electricity. And at 269 or 270 deg.ées below zero on the centi- grade scale, its resistance drops to rearly nothing and it becomes an al- most perfect conductor. It was the degree of resistance offered Ly lead to electricity that enabled Professor Goetz to determine the exact temper- ature irside his "ice cream" freezer. That temperature was six or eight times colder than the lowest temper- Mures ever encountered by polar ex- a A & X ad For every bad there might be a worse; and when one breaks his leg, let him be thankful it was not his yéck.-- Bishop Hall. rman fp tes . Life is a great and noble calling, not a mean and grovelling thing to be "shuffled through as we can, but a lofty and exalted destiny.--Mr, John Mor Latest Findings In Science World Weighing in Millionths of " Grams--Food and Long Life How amazing is the sensitivity of the 'weighing apparatus with which the modern chemist works was well brought out by Professor Otto Rahn of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry, who has for 'some time been a non-resident lecturer at Cor- nell University, Four hundred grams are equivalent to 101 pounds. The usual modern analytical balance, he reminded those who heard him in a public lecture, permits a mass of a few hundred grams to be weighed ac- curately within 1-10;000 of a gram. When Germany found herself com- pell : by the Treaty of Versailles to pay reparations in almost fantastic amounts, Noble Prize winner, Dr. Fritz Haber, the chemist whose spn- thetic ammonia process made it pos- sible for her to make high explosives without the aid of Chilean .itrate, re- vived the old possibility of ¢xtracting gold from sea water. Here was an inexhaustible reservoir of gold that ccul.l pay the bill ha:.ded to Germany. At least so it seemed in view of de- terminations that had placed the am- ount of gold in sea water at five to ten milligrams in a metric ton, or 1,000 kilograms. So good a chemist as the late Dr. Svante Arrhenius had estimated that even if there were only six milligrams of gold in a metric ton of sea water the total gold content of all the oceans must smount to eight billion tons, To be sure the ores of South Africa. contain one thousand {imes more gold than does sea water, ut tea waté? is much more easily handled than dirt and rock, by Haber soon convinced him that the estimates were wild, Instead of. the assumed five to ten milligrams of gold géa water contained only about a fhoasardth as much, Haber gave up his plan. But out of it came, methods of microscopic measurement that made it possible to determine masses Jess tha: one ten-millionth of a gram.

We encourage babies and cattle and invalids to eat as much as they 'can on the theory that growth and health are synonymous, Back in our minds there is also the thought that the healthier .we are the longer we are likely to live. Is there any scientific justification for these implications? Dr, C. M, McCay of Cornell reports in Science the results of some experi- ments which: he has been conducting with rats and fish and which throw doubt on the feeding practices, of solicitous mothers, " Back in 1912 Dr. J. R. Slonaker of Stanford University reared three male rats on a general diet. Their rverage life was 1,222 days, but it took 391 days for them to attain their maximum weight. They did 1.0t grow rapidly and then fatten to a maximum as middle age approached--the object in fattening cattle. Dr. McCay found that seventy-five of his own rats fed on a satisfactory diet died at an aver- age of between 515 and 481 days. Only one lived more than 900 days. Contrary to Dr. Slonai er's experience, his rats matured rapidly and died at an earlier age. but : In some experiments made with brook trout Dr. McCay found a clear- er relationship between the rate of growth and the span of life, The trout that failed to grow lived the longest, even though all in the school ate the same food. This rather bears out the conclusions reached by entom- ologists who have found that insects live longer if their growth can be retarded, : 2 What are we to conclude? "No one has ever foun it possible to have both rapid growth with early attain- ment of maturity and longevity," writes Dr. McCay. "It is possible that longevity and rapid growth are incompatible and that the best chance for an abnormally long life span be- longs that the animal that has grown slowly and attained a late maturity." Cramming babies, girls and boys with food may not be so commendable after all. : i min Mussolini Takes Fifth : Post in Own Cabinet Rome.-- Benito Mussolini, Premier, Minfster of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Inferior and Minister of Corpora tions, has taken a fifth Cabinet post, that of Minister of War.
