WHERE FARMER DOES NOT SPECIALIZE
LITTLE ATTENTION IS PAID TO QUALITY
Result Is That On Vast Number of Farms Where No Milk,
Cream or Butter Is Sold Cows Are Mostly Inferior
Poor Foundation for Success

Unless we are actively engaged In
the dairy business, or raising beef
cattle, we are not apt to pay much
attention to the quality and money
value OF our cows on the farm. The
result of this is that on vast mum.
Der of farms where no milk, cream or
butter is sold. the cows are mostly in
ferior
OF course, this is no reference to
the men who go in for beef breeds OF
cattle rather than dairy breeds. But
there are a great many men who
do more or less in the dairy line. and
who nevertheless keep inferior stock,
says a writer In the Farm Progress.
In most cases | think II likely this is
due to the fact that the owners OF
such stock are not sufficiently IA
miliar with cows and COW values to be
Influenced to secure better stock.
As ! have owned a large number OF
cows, know very well what poor
Investment a lot OF inferior cattle
are. But, Judging from what is seen
on the majority OF farms over the
country, COWS are cows anu 30
long as some milk and some butter
though 1t may not always be in abun-
dance-are supplied. the owners let II
go at that.
AS a rule. men who have that sort
OF Indifference TO their cattle. also
have scrub hogs and poultry, and in a
general way all the features about
the farm are OF the scrub type. I do
not believe any man Of this type can
ever be a very successful farmer. The
same interests that make a man q
successful business man make the
farmer a successful one.
The farmer who owns poor scrut

real profit out OF his cows.
OF course. the vast majority OF COW
owners are those who do not sell
milk and butter. and expect to sell
veal calves or yearlings, not kept to
be butchered at home. do not get any
returns from keeping cows except
the milk and butter. and now and
then some beef or veal from an ami

fresh meat during the entire time
when 1t is cold enough to keep
the meat till each family can
get its share. The only drawback to
the plan is that the beef is often on
hand at a time when the hogs are
killed and the meat salted down, and
there are few families that do not
like fresh pork so well but that they

OF course, this fact interferes with
the consumption Of much beef on
farms after cold weather sets in; but

land farmers. so they told me. long
ago discovered the value of the bubo
owl as an aid in this respect. To take
advantage of the aid of the bubo the
farmer must first get the bubo. !
The bubo is no fool himself, and
II is no easy trick to get him-thar
is, to get him alive, for he would be
OF no service dead. The native dwell
ers back in the hills have n way
though of trapping the bubo by means
OF a live chicken used in collabora-
tion with box trap, and they manage
to supply the farmers to some ex-
tent with these owls, although, they
tell me. not enough to meet the de-
mand
The owl is tied at a spot where
he may be seen from the adjacent
cornfield. and IL he is not discovered
by the crows when they come in the
field he will soon be discovered by a
sentinel crow, for the bubo will for
get that he Is a prisoner and before
long will rise to make a swoop down
on that field after the crow. The
string will quickly jerk him back to
the limb though. But he has been
discovered The sentinel caws the
alarm and the crows rise and make a
dash for him, each one vociferously
yelling its anger.

are inclined to Join In are in hiding

then be long before the club would

II is a good plan, IL II can be arranged,
to have the beef club continue in
operation as much of the time as
possible. so that beef may be had
more or less all the time from the
middle OF fall till the middle Of

OF course. each member, II he is
like me. would want some fresh pork
as well as cured bacon all along dur
ing the beef period. Maybe the time
will come when there can be farm
ers' cold storage warehouses on a
small scale to keep meats fresh as
well as help in keeping fruits in
sound condition. II such things pay
the meat packers and butchers, they
would pay farmers as we'll. But this

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start In the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
OF the starchy food we eat-white
bread. pastry. potatoes. oats. etc
these things are digested in the small
intestines. ani IL we eat too much. as
most OF us do. the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work. SO that fermenta-
tion. indigestion. and long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, sour
stomach. belching gas. and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but In building up a
strong digestion. clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
