GREAT VALUE OF DAIRY SIRE
important That Calf Should Have
Good Parentage on Both Sides
Pure Breed Are Costly.
(By r. B. Roe.)


Raising the heifer calves Of good,
high-producing cows, Is great funda-
mental requisite for the best and
easiest improvement Of dairy herd.
But those calves will take their
qualities from both parents, and it is
equally important that each calf
should have good parentage on the
male side. But an inspection of many
dairy herds will show that compare
lively little attention is paid to the
quality of the sire.

which the heifer calves were raised
for future cows, but In which the
bulls used we're miserable little scrubs.
and weaklings. obtained by simply
saving a grade calf from the herd.
And of many other sires, fairly
good as individuals, nothing is known
of the actual milk production Of their
female ancestors.
There are as l view 1t two princi-
pie reasons for this. One is that un-
der the custom Of selling the calves
for veal 1t does not make much diff
ference about their breeding. But as
this custom must be changed by sue.
cessful dairymen and the best heifer
calves raised for cows, 1t becomes nee
essary to provide good sires.
But another great reason is that
the pure-bred sire costs more money
Underlying both these is the funda
mental reason that many dairymer
do not yet realize the wonderful i'm
provement that can be wrought by 6

boy class. Recently he heard that
Brooklyn merchant was willing to pay
$3.50 out of his advertising appropria-
tion to the first man who would jump
from any one of the bridges over the
East river.
Otto was the boy for the job. He
had jumped 104 feet from a bridge
once before and the addition Of few
more feet never caused him so much
as thought. Sure, I'll do It," he
said, and he did.
Otto meant to dive from the new
Manhattan bridge, because he thought
1t was higher. The height in reality
is the same for all the East river
bridges. The police, however, were
too watchful. He meant to shed his
coat and trousers, but he didn't have
time. He meant to take off his heavy
boots. but the river did that for him.
He meant to dive in one long sweep
ing arc, "but somehow he told aft
terward, II started to twist, and then
| couldn't stop" Passengers on the
ferryboats who saw him said he
turned like pinwheel.
II wasn't scared bit until
jumped he continued, "but don't re-
member anything after hit until
came UP again" He was found float
ing on his back, half stunned and
padding feebly. Il could have swum
to shore" he boasted, and In the next
breath he admitted, "but wasn't feel
Ing very spry."

in a hopsital found Eppers fit to ap-
pear in police court. where he was
promptly discharged for lack Of evil

The State Federation of Labor, in ses-

as possible against constitutional pro-
hibition and the contract system of
working convicts in the Missouri peni-
Tertiary.
The resolutions the organization un-
doubtedly will adopt eondemnisg pro-
hibition will be of the sizzling variety.
The organization regards this proposed
amendment to the constitution as
fraught with grave danger to the work
ing people.
President Owen Miller told the dele
gates that the adoption of the prohi-
bition amendment would prove a great
disaster to at least 100000 working
men and women in this state, as well as

has issued a call for cooperation, In
which it says: THE Eight Hour
League Of America desires to call
your attention to the possibilities Of
the eight hour workday as the para
mount issue in the presidential election
Of 1912. No greater question con-
fronts American statesmen than how
TO provide opportunity for all who
wish to make an honest living. The
universal eight hour workday is the
most practical solution OF the problem.
1t was the opposition Of the party in
power 10 the extension OF the eight
hour workday favored by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor that COM
PEELED that organization to enter the
political arena.
The demand for the eight hour
wOrkday furnishes the basis uDon
which all the progressive forces Of the
nation can unite as we'll as the ground
on which all labor, organized and IN
organized, can combine. It Is an issue
they thoroughly understand and know.
Its adoption Will benefit all business
and improve the condition OF the
working masses by shortening their
hours Of labor, raising wages and
making it less difficult to secure en-
pl0yment. 1t will enable them to
stand together and present a united
front In opposition to those who e
endeavoring to fasten a system Of IN
