A PURE BRED SIRE LEAGUE.
The department of animal hus!andry
of the University of Wisconsin has
ately set afOOt campaign that is de
serving Of publicity. 1t aims Mt the
organization of nation wide pure
bred sire league. Il voluntary. non
Incorporated association, of which any
1erson may become member by own
ing and using pure bred sire in the
production of any of the several kinds
of farm animals. The purpose of the
organization. as suggested Is the i'm
provement of the live stock of the
country by the use of pure bred. reg
iStered sires in place of those of grade
scrub or m0ngrel breeding. Those who
loin the league pledge themselves so
Sirps. to advocate the general use of
Such sirrs, to work for The improve
ment of pure bred SireS along the line
of breed character and individual eX-
ceIlence and. lastly, to discourage the
use of grade. mongrel or scrub sires or
sires and dams of whatever breeding
that are diseased or unsound in any
way. The Improvement in the breed
ing and character of all kinds Of farm
animals has been marked in the past
few years. and there is reason TO be-
lieve that an organization such as the
above will do much toward helping
the good work along.

While the damage done by the fam
fly of borers that work in the trunk
and limbs of trees is much less than
that done by those found at or just
below the surface of the ground. 1t is
well to keep an eye open for them. We
noticed a dead strip of bark in the up
per trunk of a thrifty top grated
Wealthy tree the other day and sup
posed at first view that 1t was caused
by some rot fungus getting a foot

showed that the dead spot was due to
enc of the borers referred to that had
been working for n considerable time
unmolested. Tho birds of the wood
pecker family get many of these bor-
ers. but this one they had skipped.
We scraped the dead inner and outer
bark away, killed the boIer and will

COST OF PRODUCTION HAzY.

COST OF PRODUCTION HAZY.
The chief lack in the system of ac-
counts kept on the average farm is
the uncertainty relative to the cost of
production. It's an easy matter to fig
ure out the receipts from crop Of
small grain. corn. potatoes or hay at
so much per bushel or ton or of live
stock at given price per hundred
weight, but not so simple matter to
figure exact cost of production. includ-
ing the items of preparation and cul-
tivation of soil. the cost of harvest
ing. storage. interest on Investment
deterioration in equipment. etc. Yet
it is only by keeping tab on these and
good many other items that makes
II possible for the farm owner 10 know
whether his seasons operations have
been really profitable or not. 1t viii
take some time and attention to keep
a set Of farm books simply. yet il is
well worth while that one may know
lust where he stands-what operations
have been profitable and what follow
