1-uniue sion dairyman. United Stales Department of; Agriculture researchers indicate that this method is the best of: three systems compared. The i three systems are conventional rotational grazing, strip grazing and "soiline." in which forage is mechanically harvested daily andj fed green to cows in barns on drylots. Rotational and strip grazing un der proper management were equally efficient in forage utiliza tion and significantly better than the soiling system because the grazing systems supponea we same number of cows lor more days per acre. None of the three methods used experimentally, however, caused a material change in milk production or the liveweight of the test animals.

Largely for these reasons, USDA scientists determined rota tional grazing the best of the three methods under conditions of the experiment. They recognized, however, that poor management such as under-grazing of intensive stands of forage, or allowing for age to become too mature for maximum feed value, might give strip grazing and soiling advantages over rotational grazing. year, corn crop, walkers nave; built a steel stor-1 lag building for takeover of 19 loan corn.

1 1 Pnntiwc comment on how lonu nate the city 1 to have sucn a good swimming pool, they're frequently told the pool was built with money left by a woman so stingy she starved herself to death. SAVKD MONEY, BOTTLE The fact that Mrs. Humiston was 85 when she died lends little credence to the report that she starved herself to death. But old timers including some who per sonally knew and liked her well are quick to concede that to say she was careful with her miey is an understatement. She also saved milk bottle caps.

Hundreds of them were found in her home after her death. This view of the elderly Mrs. Humiston contrasts sharply with a description of her in a His tory of Livingston County pub lished in Chicago by Munsell Publishing Co. as a part of An Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois. 'PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPIST This book, from the library of Reid Tombaugh, local historian, state, that Mrs.

Humiston'. "whole life has responded to advantages for the cultivation of heart and intellect. "A calm mind, reposeful manner and delightful sympathy project her into the heart of affairs in the community, and she is one of its rarest exponents of well directed and practical philanthropy. "The proper use of wealth has been one of her profoundest considerations, and the extent of her benefactions probably never will be known save by those who have directly profited by them. "For the grounds and building of the YMCA" (Editor's note: this building now is owned and used by the Moose Lodge) "she donated $26,000, and she also gave a property to be used as an Episcopal rectory.

AIDED YOUNG PEOPLE "It is doubtful if any wise appeal for her interest and practical co-operation goes unheeded, and she is well beloved for her timely assistance in the case of young people handicapped in their ambitions by poverty or other limitations. "It would seem that love for humankind is the dominant note in her personality, and this she exhales in her individual deeds and her every day of life." An earlier book, The History of Livingston County, published in 1878 in Chicago by William Le- Baron Jr. rnd Co. and also owned by Mr. Tombaugh, tells of the arrival in Livingston County of Mrs.

Humiston'. father, Apollos Camp, and her future husband, Bennet Humiston, early settlers in smen Township, north of what now rontiac lownsnip, Ouotine from the book, "The1 year 1852 brought two of the most substantial and useful citizens that have ever resided in the i township.
