The Good Dairy Bull,

In selecting herd bulls either mature
animals which have already demon
strated their worth rs sires or younger
animals from high testing dams and
sires only should be used Remember
that the best and surest results will
always follow the use Of mature sire
which has sired heifers with good
records. A good dairy bull should be
kept until he is twelve or fifteen years
Old-in fact. as long as he Is sure
sire. Real good sires are so rare that
when we do find one he should die
only of old age. All breeders of dairy
cattle should secure yearly tests on
each and every COW in the herd Short
err tests do not really mean very much.
It Is the COW that stays by her job
that is really valuable.

TEST YOUR ALFALFA SEED.
II May Be Done Easily and chsapIy at
Homo With Simple Apparatus.

Only one thing on earth will settle
the doubt whether alfalfa seed is pure
or not. and that il to test the seed
the best seed obtainab le-so that the
labor Of blowing and drilling may not
be wholly lost.
The testing can be done at home.
1t takes only simple apparatus. con-
sisting of two pieces of flannel or blot
ting paper about six inches square. be-
tween which are placed 100 seeds. The
whole, placed between two plates,
should be kept moist. but not sop
ping wet. The seeds which have
sprouted should be counted every day.
At the end of six days the total num-
Der Of sprouted seeds will represent
fairly well the terminating power of
the sample Good alfalfa seed should
give percentage of Mt least eighty.
Besides the terminating power there
is another quality which must be con-
sidered in judging sample. Does it
contain large number of brown
seeds? If so. 1t would be safer not to
use it The brown seed may sprout
in the apparatus just as described. but
fail entirely to make plants when put
in the ground out Of doors Tests at
various experiment stations have
shown this to be true.
Many farmers SOW screenings or
seed which is little better than
screenings and try to make up for lack
of quality by doubling the quantity.
This may do well enough where land
is cheap. but there is too much dan
ger anywhere of getting poor stand
and of sowing the land to weeds

proach mature age. If fed all they can
consume and assimilate while young.
they acquire the thrifty habit and can
be made to grow to market weight at
less expense for feed than II allowed to
come along in the usual manner. writes
N. A. Clapp in Orange Judd Farmer.
When pigs are literally fed while
young the stomach is expanded rap

more feed over and above what is re-

ed to grow slowly.
When the pigs are three weeks old
they will begin to look around the pen.
and If when the SOW is out little
shelled corn is thrown ON the floor of
the pen the SOW will begin to pick it up
before she pays any attention to the
pigs. The pigs will see her pick up the
kernels one at time. and they will be-
gin to pick them up and chew them
Such can be the first lesson in eating
grain.
When the SOW is out place a small.
shallow trough where it will be handy
to coax or drive the pigs over it. Take
some fine middlings in a pail. scald it,
stir in some new milk, sweeten the
mess with little blackstrap molasses
and put it in the trough while it Is
warm. Drive the pigs over the trough.
They will smell the molasses. lap at
the feed and begin to eat. When they
once get taste Of such feed they will
eat all they can hold.
The pigs should be fed in the middle
Of the forenoon and in the middle Of
the afternoon. When l have desired to

After the pigs have eaten from the

is made by mixing corn chop and oat

equal quantity of wheat middlings. l
like to feed a little molasses along
with the warm feed to make it more
palatable and to keep the bowels in a
laxative. healthy condition.
The amount Of feed given should be
increased only as fast as the capacity
of the pigs to eat increases. Feed in
a clean trough every time. Give the
pigs a chance to run in the field and
eat grass. If fed and handled in the
manner described the pigs can be
weaned when eight weeks old, and
there will be no check in their growth.
At two months old they should weigh
from fifty to sixty pounds each and be
well started toward hoghood. | have
frequently had pigs weigh so to 100
pounds each when three months old.

Kendrick being as it is surrounded

why not let the people be glad to

THE DAIRYMAN.

One advantage OF succulent
feed is the fact that it not only
provides the COW with more
moisture. but at the same time is
more appetiZing.
The milk utensils must be free
from seams and cracks. 1t is i'm
possible to keep them clean if
this is not the case.
The bigger the ears of corn
when they are put in the silo
the bigger the milk flow will be
when the silage is fed.
Provided your COW is a good
. one. the more she is fed along
right lines the more she will give.
No animal that gets only food
enough to support life can make
. a gain or profit.
. Haphazard methods Of breed
: ing never pay with dairy cattle.
. The best herd bull is none too
: good.
The man who can double the
: productiveness Of his farm more
. than doubles its value.

On one of those perfect days, when the world was. knee deep in June, and the time was ripe for great deeds. weary looking man, with his meagre possessions strapped on his shoulder. left the Trap pist monastery. located at Gethsemane Ky, and made his way toward the west. where the Golden Gate opened out to- ward the sea.
 This man was known to the monks, or rather he was registered by the name of Brother Ira Dutton He had been an inmate of the monastery for two years, his lips had almost forgotten how to frame a sentence, for this is one of the few silent places of the earth. where no man is allowed to speak. When one en- ters he takes the VOW of silence. and as long as he is an inmate of this cloister no word ever passes the lip. And this man had been true to the VOW.
 But God never circled a mans life, with silence as center, this loneliness, this awful solitude, self imposed 1t is true, led thoughts through the God of the universe to the fellowman, this enthus- fast, was burning with the desire to help his fellowman He grew tired of the ssceticism that promised nothing and cyone of his life.
 With brain alert to find an opening for his pent energy, he one day read of the great work being done by Father Damien on that lonely island in the Pa cfic ocean, where despair sat with bowed head and covered eyes.
 Like the fabled upas tree, death Is the gift that can be given to those who come to MololSia. the leprous colony of the ocean. situated at the base of tall precipice, over 200O feet high. and looks forever on the ever changing, ever shift ing waters of the Pacific-this constant change but emphasizing the awful fact that there is no change for the "shutins" of this plague smitten colony, no matter how strong the call for home and loved ones, no matter how the loneliness grips the soul with fingers of steel and clutches the heart with wise like hold. the ostra- cism forces the one lesson-to endure. They must simply endure until merciful death offers release.
 Under the stress of lofty conception of duty. Brother Ira Dutton determined to go and proffer his life, all heshad to give, to Father Damien, and ask per- mission to be his assistant in caring for needs of this unfortunate colony.

There are no surplus goods being forced on the trade, and the ordinary accumu- lations at this season are absent. Either from scarcity of operatives or other causes mills are not able to turn off a full product, and in many instances de- lays in deliveries are complained of.
 Jobbers report much steadier and fuller trade with retailers than @ year ago without any signs of runaway mar ket being In sight. The business is sound and healthy and more trade could be done if there were more goods offered from first hands Retailers are generally doing a reasonable business.
 All coarse yarn goods are notably and other heavy products are very well sold. Some far eastern trade Is coming forward the volume of China business on the present movement having reached 10,- GOO bales. From all that Is seen in primary markets at tthis time the mills are to be active all winter. Prices range about as follows:
