FIRE AUTO TO Be
PURCHASED soon
Committee Report Is Adopted but a
49, Hitch In Ord nance Delays Pro-
ceedinqs for Another Week or
Two.

After having been held up for the
better part of three weeks, the report
of the fire committee relative to the
| bids submitted for the combinat on
chemical and hose auto for the fire de-
partment was presented at the adj
journed session of the city council last
night, recommending the purchase of
the vehicle manufactured by the Sea-
graves company, whose bid was $4,950.
Only after a prolonged debate was the
report adopted, Councilman Fritz Lehm
having attached his signature to- a
minority report. When the vote was
| taken, there were five in favor of the
adoption of the majority report and
| two against. The Seagraves company
will furnish a bond of $4,000 to be in
| force two years, as evidence of good
| ia tn that any defective parts of the
machine that do not give satisfaction
| for that period will be replaced
| But while the committee report was
| adopted the deal has not yet been
closed, because of a hitch in the pas
| sage of the ordinance awarding the
contract, and making an appropriation
measure was given first and second
readings and placed on the calendar,
and thus the purchase will be delayed

How He Selects His Cream

From the American Swineherd.)
The ordinary farmer has no expert
knowledge of cream separators, but
knows in a general way that they are
progressive and beneficial from the
fact that their use is growing continu-
ously, especially among the up to date
danymen over The country. He nat

! urally sees a great many advertise
ments. When anything IS a success
and profitable there are sure to be
imitators and others, who are seeking
in some way or another to secure
portion of the profits. They are not
stopping to consider whether thew have
the best machines, whether they can
do what the best machines can do, but
determine to secure profits, II not one
way then another.
They hold out false Inducements,
alluring prices, and claim for the ma
chimes things that they can not fulfill
but the ordinary farmer does not know
the truths or falsities of these claims,
and how he IS to lsoriminate sur
rounded by these conditions. This is
the situation of great many men
who would like to buy separator, but
are not we'll posted on the machines,
and therefore not able to decide from
the advertisements and the talk OF the
sellers; in other words, not qualified
to Judge between the claims of the
different machines.
The sensl Bile view taken by a hard
headed, intelligent German farmer
strikes us as being a pretty good plan
for the ordinary farmer to follow.
He says: "I did not know anything
about the merits Of the machines from
an Investigation of them myself, he
cause | ain not an expert, neither am
| an expert in medicine, and | there
fore consult doctor when ANYTHING is
the matter that | do not understand
in regard to myself or family. L
therefore looked around and Observ
ed that the experiment stations, the
agricultIal colleges, the majority OF
the winners in the butter contests and
a large proportion of the up-tO- date
scientific farmers were using the De
Laval separator. Now this was as
good an endorsement as | could hope
for, acting inst as these wise men who
are experts in their lines and III the
dairy business whose experience and
knowledge and wisdom enabled them
to select the De Laval This was all
the evidence that | wanted of the value
of this we'll tried and highly appreciat-
ed machine and [ bought the De Laval
and am glad that | did so. -
Surely this is very sensible view,
and it is always likely to lead one to
the right conclusion. You take the ex-
perience of the competent and capable
man who is making a success OF his
business and the result is you are
benefitting yourself by using the other
mans experience and without his cost.
We can say to che farmer who is at
loss to deter mine what machine to buy

merit of his mother, and of his sire's
mother as producers; and, also, the
records of the daughters of his sire
and grandsire; and, in fact, all of the
females as far back as they can be
traced The further back continuous
good records can be traced, the better
the animal.
Type: By all means, select a sire
that is distinctly masculine. This is
noticeable in the head and neck of
the animal: he should have bold,
bright eye, and we'll arched mascu
line neck. From the shoulders back
ward, he should have the same gen.
eral outline as the dairy COW. He
should carry no surplus flesh, but
should always be strong, vigorous,
active animal.
Prepotency: This is the term that
signifies the power which an animal
possesses to transmit it's characteris-
tics to its offspring. Unless a dairy
sire is prepotent, he is useless, no
matter how fine an individual he may
otherwise be. The purer the breeding,
the more likely he is to be prepotent,
other things being favorable. The full
value of dairy sire is never known
until he has heifers at the producing
age and for this reason, a middle
aged bull Is much better than young
one that has no descendants. A good
individual should never be destroyed
until he is too old for service.
Health: The health of the dairy
sire must be given careful considera-
ton. Any pre-disposition to disease
makes him useless, for this would
more than likely be transmitted to his
offspring. He must be free from con-
tagious diseases, as 1t is possible for
the sire to scatter a contagious dis
ease to all animals in the herd In
very short time, and extreme care is
necessary in handling and caring for
him.
We are facing a shortage of dairy
COWS in the United States today, and
if a man is going to have a herd of
good COWS, he must raise them, rather
than try to buy them. For this reason,
the dairy sire should be selected with
the greatest care.

NO. 8. THE DAIRY SIRE.

Do the dairymen of the country re-
alize the full value of the sire in the
dairy herd? Up to the present time,
this question could be answered de-
cidedly in the negative. At the pres
ent time, however, there seems to be
a general awakening, and the value of
the dairy sire is now being considered
more carefully than ever by all wide
awake dairymen.
Many dairymen have given no other
thought to the sire than that he was
a necessity in bringing the cows to
their milk. Any kind of a sire would
answer for this purpose; and when it
came to considering the offspring, the
sire was never taken into considera-
ton. A heifer was saved for the herd
because her dam was good producer,
when perhaps no one knew, or even
cared from what sire she came. The
poor dairy sire, then, is directly re-
sponsible for our having so many I'M
profitable COWS at the present time.
"The sire is half the herd" is
saying, the truth of which is vouched
for by all progressive dairymen, and
in the using of good, pure bred sire
on grade COWS, as the great majority
of the dairymen should do, he is more
than half the herd" for his charac-
teristics are firmly fixed by continued
breeding along the same lines, while
those of grade COWS are not the char
acteristics of the bull being much
more prominent in the offspring. In
selecting a dairy sire, the following
points should be considered: CD pur-
ity of breeding; (2) pedigree; 60
type; (4) prepotency; and (5) health.
Purity of Breeding: Under no cir
cumstances should anything but a
pure bred sire be used. We cannot
discard the grade COW, but there is
but very small per cent of the COWS
that are pure bred, and they could not
begin to supply the demand for dairy
products; but as one sire is enough
for about forty COWS, and as he alone
will have as much or more influence
on the offspring as will the entire
forty COWS, it will readily be per-
ceived that it is quite possible to meet
the demand for sires from pure bred
herds that we have, and also to see
that purity of breeding is of much
more Importance in the sire than in
the dam.
Pedigree: Dairymen as rule save
the heifers from their best COWS, re-
alizing that they will make better
COWS than would the heifers from the
poor ones. The same thing is true
regarding the dairy sire: the better
his ancestry, the better should he be.
First of all, one should consider the
