A Costly EXPERIENCE.

BY way Of showing that hawks and

the state OF Pennsylvania had a score
of years ago In the year 1885 the
state legislature passed what was
known as the scalp act. which author.
lied the payment Of bounty OF so
cents a head on all hawks and owls
killed In the state. Under this act
bounties were paid ON 100000 birds.

pretty good proof that the chicken

cent Of the food of the red shouIdered

CO. OPERATIVE BREEpINo.

Professor r. S. Shaw Of the Michi-
gan Agricultural college is the orig
inator Of a plan for cooperative breed
ing In dairy cattle that gives promise
of being of real value 20 those sections
where 1t is followed The plan in
brief is as follows: A community con-
trolling about 100 cows is organized
into a cooperative breeding associa-
tion. This number OF cows are divid-
ed as nearly as possible into three
groups Of equal number, 1t being I'm
material just how many cows the In
dividual farmer may have. A breed Is
then selected which Is most in favor
in the neighborhood and three register
ed sires purchased, one being placed
with each block of forty cows. The
first cost as well as the cost OF keeping
the bulls is divided among the mem
bers of the association on the basis of
the number Of cows owned by each.
At the end Of the two year period, in
order TO avoid inbreedlng, the bulls
are transferred to other blocks and at
the end OF the second period trans
ferred again, an arrangement which
makes It possible TO keep all three
bulls In the neighborhood six years
without inbreeding This arrange.
ment makes It possible to keep n sire
Of known merit during his best years,
n plan that is seldom carried out under
the present system Of entirely indi-
vidual management Besides this. the
new plan tends to create community
interest in single breed and gives
a much better market for buyers who
wish to purchase dairy cows Of
single breed in considerable numbers.
While the plan has not been worked
out MS yet for full six year period,
its advantages are so apparent that
It might well be adopted in any strict
ly dairy section.
