H It appears tlrat it is, after all, the
fl cow that is to work out the salvation
M and the complete civilization of Ja-

m there and is hustling it along at a
M rate that promises speedy betterment
M for the Mikado's people. According
M to a writer in Harper's Weekly, there
m was actinic when milk was regarded in
M Japan wiih the same abhorrence as
m cheese in Ghina. Recent statistics,
M however, show that time has worked
H a great change in this respect, and
m milk, and butter arc now in great
M favor in Japan. Whereas, twenty-five

H per cent of the persons visiting a
H European restaurant or eating a Euro-

H ly forty or fifty per cent now cat it

H Dairy forms have increased notably

H a by-prorhfet at these places. It is lo

THE DAIRY.
Prof. J. H. Fransdon, of Idaho
State Experiment Station, lias -effectually
answered the question of
ovcrpro luction of dairy products by
showing the farmers that the Inland
Empire spent $5,000,000 last year for
dairy pioducts imported from East
ern states and that Idaho alone se
cured x,.jqo,ooo pounds of lAittcr which
should have been produced in the
state. He stated that onc-thifd of the
dairy cows of Idaho ought to be
weeded out, as they arc unsuitable
and give rise to the statement that
dairying is not profitable. By im
proving the hcrdshc claims that It
will be extremely easy to increase
the profits at least $2,000,000 in the
state. i of. Fransdon accompanied
the, Idaho demonstration train on its
recent trip. He urges the farmers to
cntpr the dairy business, and he has
the co-operation of the -entire faculty,
because it is said that diversified
farming follows the dairy business.

! -Tihcnclwasa time once when 3ome
body, with Utah County in mind, pro
l I
posed the toast, "To fair women and
beautiful horses, but most of all to
beautiful horses." We say the per
son find Utah County in miiuTbccause
the toast fits the county as though it
were -made for it. Strangers come
into our midst, they rave over our
climate, the Jrcst in the state, they
tell us complimentary things about
the rare beauty of our mountains and
of the glistening lake lying at our
feet, but they carry away with them
a lasting impression of the beautiful
driving and draft stuff seen on our
roads. At present it can be safely
said that Utah leads all her immediate
western neighbors in the production
of horse-flesh and it can be as safely
said that Utah County leads Utah in
this particular line. The annual
horsefnir held in Provo during the
last four years has- brought this point
fprcibly home to anyone who may up
to this time, have been skeptical.
This spring, on the occasion of the
Jlorsc Fair, persons who chanced to
be. visiting this section, saw lined up
on the streets of Provo, close to
$200,000 worth of pure-bred stallions,
draft and driving. They saw in the
draft class the monster Pcrchcron
stallion Chrispi, the property of the
Provo Percheron Horse Company.
the horse that has a blue ribbon to
his credit fromi the Lewis and Clarke
exposition at Portland in 1904. They
saw the pure black. P.ercheron beauty
that last fall was awarded sweep
stakes at the State Fair. The' did .
not have lo have pointed out to them
the peerless pacing wonder, Ginger,
owned by Colonel C. E. Loose, the
horse that last year in a hair raising
contest with Don, owned by McCoy
of Salt Lake, swept Don from the
track as a championship possibility
and lowered the Utah record for the
mile several seconds. Ginger, we
think in this section of the woods, is
capable of today doing the mile ter
ribly close to 2:07. The people on
the sidelines saw Hbrmonic, the new
Springville horse, from whom great
things arc expected; they saw Sher
man Bell, the black, beauty owned by
Smoot Brothcis; they saw Golden
Cross, the Taylor horse, whose sor-
rel off-spring speak better for their
sire than any words can. Altold and
a whole string of his offspring were
in the lineup and the get of Brown's
roan stamp him as one of the greatest
standard-bred sires in the state.
Mr. Thompson, perhaps Utah's
greatest connoisseur of light horses,
now has headquarters at Provo and
his honscs arc already seen under the
leather of some of the capital city's !
leading horse lovers. Mr. Joseph I
SEVEN Farmer it sb kkgskkk
Farrcr, Mr. Gene Allen, Mr. Lester
Mangum ?Il have standard-breds from
Thompson's stable, beautiful beasts
with royal blood in their veins. Prodi
gal :olts arc becoming common prop
erty in Utah County. It is horse lov
ers like Farrcr, Allen, Knight and
Mangum who arc making the reputa
tion for Utah County in the line of
light leather stuff. It is men like
these who are causing people to
speak the words "Utah County and
Elegant roadsters," in the same
breath and to come to our county
when looking for something classy
in light driving.
Although Utah County cxcclls all
comers in the line just mentioned,
her fame from an animal industry
standpoint is not by any means con
fined to this particular phase. When
Utah County was slowly shaped by
ot.. Tcator, could we have stood by
and seen the transformation we would
have seen take shape, under His wise

our country for the production of
milk and cream and cheese and but
