Continuous Testing Proves Economical for Dairy Production
A study on dairy testing shows continuous participation raises butterfat per cow, while four years off testing causes sharp declines. Data from Howard Horne and Earl N. Shultz note herd fat increases from 21 to 368 pounds with continuous testing, and one herd drops 90 pounds after leaving the program. The report details July totals, average milks, and fat across cows in test, with emphasis on benefits of sustained testing amid hard times.

Vacationing with the Steel Pony Continues up a Mountain
The diary recounts a mountain ascent near 2000 feet altitude starting after breakfast by a log fire. The group pushes through forest, abandons extra gear, and climbs a steep ridge toward a summit with panoramic views and vivid rock formations. Yodeling briefly accompanies the climb, then fatigue lifts as the peak nears, ending on a tiny plateau beneath distant snowfields.
