The last word lias been spoken by the Guernsey cow, May Rilmn, according to the report sent out by the American (Juern sey Cattle Club. This cow, in .'W" days produced lU03!t." pounds of milk and 1059. 5'.) pounds of butter fat. This record is marvelous. Almost " pounds of butter a day. It would take seven average Missouri cows to produce this amount of butter. To produce this amount of butter, it required extreme care and management. It is the outcome of years of selection for pro-jaxi,. f ()10 rar A steam engine, mounted on wheels, is hitched to a number of ears. The steam engine part of the locomotive is coupled to the driving wheels and when the engine is started the wheels turn and the train moves. But the electric street car is quite another thing and vastly harder to understand. In a vague way we know that it is driven by electric power which is car ried, in some mysterious manner, on the trolley wires. Let us take a car apart, figuratively, speaking, and see just how it is made. Beneath the ordinary' street car you will find two or lour powertul electric motors scared directly to the diiction. The question is "Does it pay to test cows: 1 he anse wer is self evident. This cow consumed about S'JUO worth of feed, and in return gave about $3.10. 'I liis is not all. The owner of this animal will reap a still larger liamst in the sale of his surplus animals, lie lias gained the reputation of producing a record-breaker, which will place his Miiinals in great demand.

These motors differ somewhat from ordinary electric motors in their design but they operate ex actly the same as the electric motor which drives an office fam, the sewing machine or vacuum cleaner in the home. These motors are very powerful ami are almost completely hidden from sight in the trucks beneath the car. The electrical energy for driving the strut ears is sent out over the trolley wires. This electrical power is generated, or made, in the central power house, or it may be transmitted from some nearby water power development where the energy of the falling water is changed into electricity. The trolley wire is suspended above the street from poles anil guy-wires. The electricity is kept on the trolley wins by suitable insu lators, of glass, porcelain or composition, over which the current cannot travel. The electrical current flows easily and smoothly ;along the trolley wire, like water in a pipe, although it cannot i be seen. Wherever this copper trolley wire extends the electri cal power Hows and is always ready to drive a trolley car. Kadi trolley car is provided with a trolley pole anda trolley wheel at the i ml of tin- pole which run along tin- under side of the trolley wire. The electrical powi r from the trolley wire l!ow through ihi wheel and down the trolley pule to a heavily insulated cable concealed ill the top of the car. This cable carries the electricity to the "controller" in the front of the car. It occurs, The cunt roll'T- is the iron box which .-land in front of l hi' iiiotor- a warm j man.

Continued chanm-s from cold to warm, such a- we have had this spring, arc favorable to it further growth. It affects twig and limb ol all sizes and may even cause canker. on tin' trunk. These injuries were formerly thought to be due to severe winter condition or to sun scald. They have been proved, though, by work at the Station at Mountain drove, to be caused by a definite fungus parasite. The disease can be controlled somewhat by fall praying, but the best method, ami the one to ue now, is to cut out and burn all diseased twigs ami branches. In doing this work, look for wilted leaves, dead twigs, limbs bearing gummy cankers, and dead shrunken spots on the trunk ami larger limbs. Dead twigs usually show small black dots at the lower end of the dead portion. 1 hese contain the spores that spreail the disease. Mien twigs should be burned, no mutter how small. Failure to go over your trees anil cut out all diseased places does not mean that they will all die, this year, or even next year, or the next. It does mean, that their lives will be shortened ami that you will fail, even without loss from frost, to get the good crops you should have had. Let us turn now to brown rot. At this time of the year it occurs tin two, possibly three, mils of places: in blighted blos soms, in limb cankers and in mummied peaches of last year. Remove all of these ami burn the cuttings if you want any kind of a chance in your fight against brown rot. The disease is spread largely by curculio carrying the infection from diseased spots and mummied peaches, hence control of the curculio by a apray of arsenate of lead properly allied tends to lessen the spread "of this disease. Ami also the careful removal of "mum mies" ami diseased spots lessens the chance of infection.

The car starts and the motormau turns the controller handle further, feeding the motors more current, and the car picks up to its regular running speed. The electrical current flows to the car over the trolley wire After it flows through the car, via the cables, through the con troller, the resistance ami the motors, it flows out of the car through the iron wheels and back to the power house along the steel rails, thus completing the circuit.

Smith, of St. Louis, Missouri, in response to instructions from Postmastcr-Cleneral Burleson, initiated a movement by which the producer of farm and dairy products, such as eggs, poultry, butter, and all sorts of produce, might be put in direct contact with the consumers who are patrons of the St. Louis, Postofiice, and to that end the names of producers were invited and applications were solicited from them to include their names with the amount and character of produce that they could ship, so that a list could be prepared and circulated among the residents of the City of St. Louis. The idea of course was to have the producer ship his pro ducts to consumers via Parcel Post, the rates of which are much less than by express and the delivery as speedy and as expedi tious anil careful as done by the express companies. It is noted, however, that many of the producers who have applied to Postmaster Selph at St. Louis for registration of their names and products, when written to by the consumers in St. Louis, have quoted prices which are in excess of the proees for the same commodities and products that can be had in St. Louis This of course makes it impossible for the producer to sell to the consumer by reason of this fact.
