Did you use a scrub bull last year,
and are you saving his heifer calves
from your best cows? What assur-
ance have you that the calves will be
even as good as their dams? Would
it not have been better to have bought
a pure bred dairy bull? Yes, pure
bred bulls cost money, and he might
have cost $780, Is that large sum
to pay out? Let us look into the
matter. Suppose that such bull sires
for you but ten heifer calves and that
each one of them, when she comes into
milk, gives but one pint of milk at
each milking more than her dam gave
at like age, or GOO pints for the 900
milkings of the year, which is worth
Sc to you. But you milk COW an
average Of seven years, and the one
COW turns you $42 more than her dam.
Ten such cows means $420. The prob
abilities are that the increased milk
they would yield over their dams
would be worth $1,000. How, then,
can any intelligent man afford to use
scrub bull?-Malcolm H. Gardner,

them for much of their work ON the
road and in the field.
If our reasoning is sound and the
experience and observation of mule
and horse breeders are trustworthy in
an economic study on which they d.
rectly bear, 1t would pay the general
ity of farmers In the mule belt to
add to the stature of their farm mares
with the special object Of breeding
larger and better mules. One cross Of
draft horse blood would effect the
needed improvement. Bred to draft
stations of standard size, native mares
would produce capital types from
which to breed fifteen and sixteen
hand mules. A second cross Of draft
blood I'm some cases might be used I'm

the initial cross would suffice. It is OBJ

Value of Pure Bred Stock.

Writing of pure bred sheep, breeder

The same quantity of feed keeps each

per cent a year, it will be from one
fourth to one-half of what pure bred
eve will make you with little more
money invested for the breeding stock.
A $5 grade eve will raise you $3.50
lamb; 500 pure bred eve will raise
you $3.50 to $15 lamb. The man
who saves from 80 to 95 per cent of
his lambs cannot afford to breed grade
sheep. His labor is worth too much
and his time Is too precious. 1t is as
easy to raise a $25 lamb as 1t is a So

Purs Water For calv.s.

1t Is very easy in the summer to
allow calves to suffer for lack OF fresh.
clean water. Where calves are com
PEELED to drink from stagnant ponds
or foul troughs they cannot be ex-
pected to do their best--in fact, they
are pretty likely to become poor and
suffer from digestive troubles. In a
trial at the Kansas station with thir-
teen calves ranging from two to three
months Of age 1t was found that S8S
pounds OF water were drunk I'm seven
days, or nearly ten pounds per head
per day. 1t was observed at the same
time that the calves drank many
times, drinking only little each time.

order, and 1t Is much easier than to
begin feeding milk as drawn from the
COW. The quantity to be fed must be
governed entirely by the capacity of
the calf. Twelve pounds fed in three
feeds and at 100 degrees is safe start.
AS soon as the calf will eat clover
hay and grain 1t should be given. Hay
should be before 1t all the time and
grain all 1t will clean up after each
feed Of milk. There Is nothing better
than coarse middlings. Some Of our
breeders keep grain before the young
stock all the time, and 1t cannot be
denied that 1t makes sleek looking
calves, but when that calf goes to the
average farmer with his care he will
practically be ruined calf.
The dairy calf should have grain
every day in the year, with the pos
sible exception of during May and
June, when pasture is at its best. If
they have been so fed they should be
bred to freshen at about two years,
never less. After the heifer is bred is
a critical time, because she then has
two beings to feed and provide for,
and If she is tied up you must remem-
Der that 1t depends on you whether
you develop her or make fizzle. A

good interest every dollar spent for
her welfare while she is growing and

II think a much better plan Is to ex-
cavate a space around the tank, say,
eight or ten inches deep and couple
of feet wide, leaving the tank, of
course, on an earth bottom. The fill
ing material is dumped into this ex-
cavation and tamped several inches

improvised from heavy block of

"The excavation should be filled un-
til 1t Is at least several inches higher

cult for cattle to wear the filling away

impossible for hogs to make mud

Riddino cat.I. Of crubs.

Grubs under the skin of cattle may
be killed in several ways, according
to s. Arthur Johnson, Colorado Agri
cultural college. One common method
is to rub down the Jumps on the hide
with round stick, such as broom
handle, thus killing the grubs where
they lie. Oil or lard may be applied
TO the holes In the hide, which will
stop the breathing pores of the grub
and kill 1t. If a little carbolic acid is
put in the lard 1t viii help the wound
to heal more quickly. BY pinching on
either side Of the Jumps the grubs will
often be forced out. They should be
killed by the foot If they drop to the
ground The holes may be treated
with carbolic lard. This method is
to be preferred, for it does not leave
the grub under the hide to tester.
