Don't miss this big serial t Watch for the first install­ ment in the THIS PAPER •nd see the pictures , at the Central Opera House Woodstock Setitinel: .Jerome 3. Sloy- an, supervisor of tests, gives to the newspapers the following report on the Greenwood Cost. Accounting and Cow Testing association, a write-up of which organization appeased in the Sentinel in the issue of Feb. 11. The association, something new in farm organizations, is indeed a novel one, and from a business standpoint should prove of much benefit to its members, as by means of the cost ac­ counting system now in operation they are enabled to know exactly wherein their loss or profit liesJ Mr. Sloyan's report follows: The Greenwood Cost Accountingand Cow Testing association was organ­ ized Feb. 1, 1914, and is the first asso­ ciation on record to combine cost ac­ counts with the testing. Credit for the idea is due to Delos L. James, county agent for McHenry county. The cost accounts were supervised by E. A. j Pearson of the University of Illinois, j Twenty-three herds spread over six | townships completed the year's record, j Fourteen of these kept cost accounts. 1 During the year 574 cows were tested, 426 completed a year's record, 70 were sold as a result of testing, 4 died and 74 others were in at the close of the year, but for less than twelve months. Twenty-one cows proved to be board­ ers, two not even paying for the feed J they consumed. The average production per cow in the association was 7228 lbs. of milk testing 3.5 per cent, containing 253 lbs. of fat, a very creditable record. Three herds averaged better than 8000 lbs. of milk and 283 lbs. of fat per cow. The feed cost per cow varied from $38.00 to $95.00, the value of the milk per cow aried from |39.00 to $253.00. The prize herd owned by Fred Carl­ son of Ringwood, consisting of grade Holsteins, averaged 9670 lbs. of milk and 348 lbs. of fat. Of the 34 cows in the association producing over 10,000 lbs. of milk, 17 are to be found in this herd, 5 of them heading the list with -the following records: No. 8--Milk, 14847; fat, 491; test, 3.4; value of milk, $253.92; cost of feed, $95.11; profit above feed, $158.81. No. 37--Milk, 14180; fat, 487; test, 3.4; value of milk, $253.80; cost of feed, $91.04; profit above feed, $162.76. No. 38-- Milk, 14166; fat, 483; test, 3.5; value of milk, $242.20; cost of feed, $92.04; profit above feed, $150.16. No. 18--Milk, 13422; fat, 453; test, 3.2; value of milk, $224.92; cost of feed, $89.71; profit above feed, $135.21. No. 24--Milk, 12612; fat, 477; test, 3.8; value of milk, $213.70; cost of feed, $88.00; profit above feed, $125.70. In computing the above, prices of npdlk, the month in which it "was pro­ duced and value of feed minus delivery were used. The following are some interesting facts concerning the association, which are worthy of note. Thirty per cent of the cows are registered Holsteins and only registered bulls are used in all the herds as herd sires. Seven milking machines are at present in operation and are giving excellent re­ sults. Alfalfa constitutes about three- fourths of the hay fed. Ail the herds receive silage but one. The prospects, however, are bright for no exception next year. On the farms keeping cost accounts an inventory was taken at the begin­ ning of the year of all stock, machin­ ery, feed and supplies, cash on hand, notes and accounts payable, and notes and accounts receivable. Two books were ' kept during the year; one in which all labor, both horse and man, were noted, and account kept of the cash received and paid out. The tester on his monthly visits weighed the feed consumed by each kind of stock, noted the labor and posted the cash under separate headings in "the cash book. At the end of the year a similar inven­ tory was again taken. By subtract­ ing the inventories the net gain or loss was found. This, however, is only vairue in its meaning and does not show where money was made or lost. By charging each enterprise pro rata, with use of labor, buildings, land, in­ terest, etc., and crediting it with cash received for it, or its market value, we know exactly whether that enterprise made a gain or loss. Also we may find the cost of production of grain, milk, porks, or whatever it may be on that farm. Furthermore,, the season­ able distribution of labor, efficiency in the use of labor and such factors may be studied. JEROME J. SLOYAN, Supervisor of Tests. HAY REOPEN CANNING FACTORY FARMERS BEING ASKED TO GROW CORN AND TOMATOES Dr.Price*s CREAM BAKING POWDEB For sixty years Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder has been the standby of countless housekeepers who have relied upon it for healthful, home-baked food. Dr. Price's contains no alum or lime phosphate. There is never any ques­ tion about the absolute purity and healthfulness of the fodd it raises. A gentleman, who a few years ago had charge of the McHenry canning fac tory, is in the village for the purpose of feeling out the farmers in this locality and if a sufficient amount of corn and tomatoes can be contracted for the fac­ tory will be reopened the coming sum­ mer. The gentleman in question has been in town during the past few days and in shaking hands with old acquain­ tances announced the purpose of his visit to the village at this time. Those in a position to know tell us that the man is capable in every way to carry on the business. In fact, he is the best man who ever had charge of the local industry. Most of the farmers in the vicinity of McHenry will be approached dur- lny the iioxl duy w L»vo and The i'laiu • dealer sincerely hopes that it will mean the reopening of the factory the com- ft? summer.

FOX LAKE SALOONKEEPER FILES PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY IN CHI­ CAGO COURTS Tuesday's Waukegan Gazette: The Sunday closing law, as it has been en­ forced in Lake county during the past several years, is held accountable for the petition in bankruptcy filed in the Chicago courts by Ferdinand W. Schulz, saloonkeeper and cigarmaker of Fox Lake. The petition states that Schulz's lia­ bilities are $1,629 and his assets $1,033. Some time ago he was arraigned in the courts here for keeping open on Sunday and at that time was fined a few hundred dollars for the violations. The general falling off in business since the closing law went into effect is declared to have been the cause for his action today and it is reported that there are to be a number of other sa­ loon keepers throughout the county who are considering following the same action. "The Sunday closing law may have had something to do with the filing of the petition," State's Attorney Runyard stated this afternoon when informed of the action followed by the Fox Lake man. Schulz is declared to have at one time operated one of the best paying businesses in the Fox Lake region and the court action taken by him today has caused considerable comment throughout the vicinity.

The Clutching Hand Is Loose Notifce is hereby given that a noto­ rious criminal is at large in this city. He is the author of a score of crimes, particularly fiendish in the methods employed. He has completely eluded the po­ lice, for he has left no clue as to his identity, except a mark of a clutch­ ing hand, by which he has come to be known. His ways are peculiar, his motive for activity being indefinable. He turns up anywhere--attacks any­ body. He goes from a palace to a lowly hovel; from a little child to an old lady. The beautiful woman is not beyond him, nor the strong one. He does not work in the ordinary way. His schemes are awful and ghastly. He must be a scientist gone awry. This warning is therefore made in order to put every family on its closest guard. Women! Lock your doors! Men! Do not go out unprotected. The "Clutching Harrd" is worse than ever was "Jack the Ripper" for heye the favorite pursuit is murder. Rewards are offered for the detec- tioif and arrest of the "Clutching Hand."
