Keep the Good Sires.

A good, tried sire in any class of
stock is valuable asset that should
not be sacrificed as long as be re-
mains a potent breeder. 1t is an
altogether too common practice to dis
pose of bulls, boars and rams after
one seasons use and depend upon a
young untried sire for the future.
When a sire has proven himself a
sure breeder and possesses the power
to transmit his good qualities to his
offspring he is most valuable ami
NAL. Not all good appearing animals
are good breeders for they may fail
to stamp their individuality upon
their get. On the other hand some
animals beget offspring of much
better quality than themselves. The
idea is that sire must prove himself
by actual results before one can be
certain of his value. The too early
disposal of good, proven breeders
leaves too much to chance and &C
cident. And again fully matured
animal is very much more likely to
sire stronger offspring than young
animal of the same quality.
Breeding males should always be
we'll cared for and kindly and care
fully handled. When properly used
they seldom become dangerously
vicious. Keep the good sires as long
as close inbreeding does not interfere
and then if possible exchange with q
neighbor who is in a like position.
Cooperative breeding associations
might be OF an immense value to their
members in this way for the reason
that the. sires are used alternately by

Feeding for Best Results.

When feeding for best results and
especially for a COW weighing a
thousand pounds and yielding twenty
FIVE pounds of per cent milk there
are required approximately two
pounds of digestible protein, thirteen
pounds of carbohydrates and little
over a half a pound of fat. A ration
composed of twenty pounds of clover
hay, ten pounds of corn stover, four
pounds ground corn and one pound
oilmeal would furnish these various
nutrients. 1t is not probable that the
ordinary COW would consume such
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-08-15

an amount of roughage, and one may
substitute one pound bran for each
two pounds of clover hay that the
COW does not eat. More than this,
some bran should be added to dilute
the corn and oilmeal, as they are
too concentrated when fed alone.

Live Stock
Live Stock Exhibits at Fairs.

In writing our views of the county
and state fairs, says G. S. Nevius, in
The Breeders Special, we consider
them necessary meeting places for
those that are up-to date and progress
sive. We know of no such place
equal to good, clean agricultural
fair run upon an honorable, clean,
liberal basis. The general talk of our
agricultural papers are for better
farming, better crops, and better
stock-which is all very we'll and
proper, but it is like advertising in
papers; the papers have their place
and we cannot we'll get along without
them, but when advertised though
papers and the people are then shown
by sample at the fairs it makes an
example that one seldom forgets.
Not always is it that the exhibitor
doing the showing gets the trade at
the time, but some one is set think
ing and goes home to try to improve
his methods in farming or stock
growing. Now someone may object
that they are not interested in cattle.
Well then, study the hogs, horses,
grain or the machinery as your mind
may rum one will find enough to put
in good big day we'll spent.
We would advise the exhibitor
starting upon his first trip at show
ing to start at the county or district
fairs. The lessons learned and the
experience gained will not be so ex-
pensive to bear; for the competition
not being SO strong, the ribbons are
not so hard to win. Here may be the
first lesson of disappointment, as it
often is, when one does not get as
high up AS expected. Whatever you
do respect your judges and your com
petitors. Remember, all are enemies

end of your first show you have

would like is big undertaking and
it is not often that one gets more
than his share. But we all have the
chance to climb up too it we keep
trying. l have always thought if one
showed good cattle that were credit
to the the breed represented, he was
doing we'll, even if he did not win all
the money.
As for our own experience our
showing for the past 15 years has
always paid its own way. Even if
we have been beaten as often as our
brother exhibitors, we usually caused
them some anxiety while in the con-
test. As for the advertising one re-
ceives, we believe the big end of a
breeders success comes from the
showing he has made. OF course
showing will not do it all. Adver-

minding prospective buyers that you

| notice you ask few helping sug-
gestions for those Shipping to the larg-
er fairs for the first time. l do not
know that we are equal to the task
but we have found that shipping 20
head of cattle from 200 to 400 miles,
keeping them in good shape, getting
good service from the railroads, getting
out from the unloading places and
settled in the new quarters at the fair
ground is no small matter. We have
noticed that more trouble comes from
the new man in the bushes surpOs-
ing that all is we'll and he is through
after he has billed to the next point
of exhibition and has his contract in
his possession. Railroad people or
their agents do not look after our
shipments personally. If we get stuck
some place at division or otherwise,
they are satisfied to let us set there
un til they see lit to move us. We
usually lose no time in getting out
and seeing when we are going to
move on. Ii we stand longer than
looks right we go to headquarters with
our troubles. We have always receiv
ed good treatment when what we ask
ed for was reasonable and we have
always received good treatment at the
hands of fair arrangements. We have
always noticed some of the boys hav-
| ing hard time but it was uually be-
cause they we're depending upon some
one else to do the business that they
should be looking after. In spite of
all the trouble hard work and disap-
pointment the Snowman has to go

ton and rivalry that the regular

The Lives of o. Henry

1t appears that the late o. Henry most delight
full of recent story writer's led double life and had
prison record.
Well, If o. Henry once convict, then all
the more credit to him for that he became useful
and distinguished member Of society,"
Many-very many-who have been in no such
did. Let's judge him. if we must judge at all, not
from the depth of his fall but from the splendid
height Of his rise.
But neither of these two private lives he led was
of much consequence to the public, in comparison
with that third and greater life which he lived still
lives and will long continue to live, in his charming
stories.
This third life is one Of smiles and cheer, warm
sympathies and genial tolerance of one another's
faults. 1t has given truer laugh for the joys Of
life and tinctured tears for it's with sweeter
resignation.
He has left us, preserved forever, the keen obser
vations OF penetrating mind and the tense tender
motions of well-tempered heart.
In the Jewel treasures Of his genius, in the gold
and silver threads he has weaved into the human
arp-and-woof, there is life above and beyond his
own human existence, just as the serenely soaring
eagle is above and beyond the egg that Matched it,
Let us not question too closely into the sources
Of genius There's mystery there which the human
mind cannot penetrate.
We know that heat only refnes the gold if it be
true metal, and if it be not true, destroys it.
We know, too, that, somehow, in the furnace of
suffering are assayed the finer human feelings.
Let us accept the beauty of the butterfly and
never mind the mystery of the chrysals.

Custards rank first in this list
and they are most inexpensive
which is no small item in this day
of high prices. They are easy to
prepare and they agree with and
appeal to the entire household
from baby to grandmother. The
secret of making good custards
lies in mixing the ingredients thor
oughly together and cooking them
slowly, else they will not be deli
cate and smooth.
The rule for plain custard is:
Four eggs to quart of milk and a
tablespoon of sugar to each egg.
Add pinch of salt and a teaspoon
Of flavoring. A little chocolate
grated over the top Just before it
is set in the oven is good. Orange

But the dream made such deep
impression that he straightway
set about drawing his favorite's
picture on a rock near by. Scarce
had he finished when a stranger
passed by, and everything hap
pened just as the dream lamb had
foretold.
Thereafter Giotto made many
pictures and statues of the lamb,
but the one supposed to be the
best is at the Tower of Giotto

is bas relief of shepherd with
lamb.
