NEED OF GOOD DAIRY SlRES
Cheapest investment Farmer Can
Make Is Purchase of Pure Bred
Bull to Build Up Herd.

(By RAY p. SPEER, Minnesota College
of Agriculture
1t has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by a farmer who is
trying to build up the standard of a
herd of cattle lies in the purchase of
a good pure bred bull. 1t is not nee
essary to buy several high priced fe-
males as basis for the average herd,
nor is it economical.
A striking proof of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit at
various state fairs last fall. One of
many instances will suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair judge bad to
choose between two COW with the
same dam, but sired by different bulls,
for the female championship of the
breed So strikingly similar in type
was each of them to it's own sire,
though the dam was the same, that
there was no trouble in distinguishing
between the two. The one that had
been produced by the more outstand-
ing sire was so superior to the one
that had been produced by the less SUI
perior bull that there was no trouble
about the selection.
The principle Illustrated is of prac-
tical value to the farmer who is think
ing of beginning a herd with limited
capital, or has very common herd
that he desires to grade up. An aver
age group of calves will be far SUI
perior to their commonly bred mothers
if a good pure bred bull is used. Such
a bull can be purchased very reason
ably if proper care is taken by the
purchaser.

A TOY WATER MOTOR.

The toy water motor shown in the
illustrations may be operated in a
bath tub or kitchen sink, but laun-
dry tub will generally be the most
satisfactory place because down in
the laundry you will have more room
in which to rig up the toys that you
wish to run, and at the same time
you will not be in anybodys way.
Aside from operating toys with a
water motor, the writer and his
friends used to have a great deal of
Iun rigging up a dozen or more
wheels of different sizes and betting
one to another with belts OF clothes
line and heavy cord in such a way as
to have them running at various
speeds. Spools, clothesline pulleys,
bicycle wheels, sewing machine
wheels and homemade wooden pull
ley wheels were used, and when all
were set in motion they produced as
much noise as is made in a small
power plant-which to us was one of
the fascinating features of the
scheme.
You can probably get a small
grocery box for the case of your wa
ter motor; If not, it will be a simple
matter to cut down box. A narrow
strip should be removed from the top
board of each side of the box, as
shown in Fig. 2, or else a small strip
should be nailed to the top edge of
each side board, to form outlets for
e the waste water. Gig. g.

To Clean Hatehina Eaas.

If eggs, while Matching, become
soiled and it is necessary to clean
them, a basin of warm water at e tenn
perature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit
should be used, but not above this. a
little less being better than greater
degree. The eggs should be put into
this water and the dirt gently removed
after soaking and washing with the
hands, then dried with cloth and put
back in the nest, which should be first
renewed with clean hay. II not badly
soiled they may be cleaned by gently
scraping with knife OF with the fin
gers. Care is necessary to avoid crack
ing the shell or jarring the egg, as
such an injury will destroy the posi-.
bility of a hatch.

In half an hour the little justice mill
was full of black men, tall, short.

on one end and driving a pin CID
through the other end Gig. 81. To
prepare the pulley, first make two
cuts entirely around the shaft with a
fine saw, then remove the wood be-
tween the cuts with a chisel. This
cutting must be done very exactly, of
course. or your pulley will not center
on the shaft. Drill the holes H for
pins. Block | Gig. ~ is for set
screw to keep the motor wheel from
turning on the shaft. Make one of
these for each end of the wheel. Bore
hole A through the center of the
block, drive screw into one edge,
and then nail the blocks to the ends
of the wheel. To mount the wheel
first slip it into the case. then slip
the shaft through holes A, and when
properly centered drive the set-screws
part way into the shaft.
Bore the hole K through the top Of
the motor case, about one inch inside
of the line of the forward part of the
wheel This hole should be just the
size of the faucet from which you are
going to obtain your water power,
and one end Of piece of rubber tub
ing should be slipped into it and the
other end cut off so it will be of just
the right length to reach the faucet.
This will prevent the water from
splashing
The uprights l. and the upper
shafting NJ are necessary only in case

CARE OF SETTING HEN
Nothing Will DiSlOdge Perfectly
Hard Working Natron.
eox o. Barrel Laid on Side, Painted
Inside With CarboIineum or Some
Other Good Lice Paint, Is
Suitable Nest.

by PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE)
A setting hen is a perfectly respect
able hard working matron, suffering
from an acute attack of spring fever.
She will not work, she refuses to lay
or even talk about it, and she devel-
ops a very grabbed disposition in
remarkably short length of time. Seek
ing out some chosen nest she taxes
possession, by force, if necessary, and
proceeds 20 occupy it for aDcu, Is
hours and % minutes every day. She
leaves it secretly and in silence, only
when food is necessary. Having sat
tsfied her wants, she suddenly remem-
5ers that unguarded nest, and makes
for it with great speed and confusion.
1t matters not whether the nest con-
tains eggs or a doorknob, il is dear to
her, and nothing will dislodge her.
There she will hold the fort until
her motherly longing is satisfied in
brood of little downy peppers. The
writer once Matched three successive
broods of chicks under the same hen,
the hen setting for rs consecutive
days, and coming off the nest reluc-
family and in good health at the end
Of that time.
The best way to detect broody
hen is to look through the nests after
dark and see whether there are any
hens On them. If SO, they should eth
er be brought up or placed on some
worthless eggs in the Matching quar-
ters, as they do harm in the regular
laying pens by partially incubating
eggs and fighting with all the other
hens
Almost any concave nest, we'll lined
with hay, will do for setting a hen.
Take box, or barrel laid on its side,
paint it inside with carbolineum or
some other good lice paint, and form
the nest out of earth with two inches
OF hay covering it.
Be sure to get the corners filled so
that the eggs cannot roll into them.
Have the edge of the box not over
three inches higher than the eggs, so
that the hen will not jump on them.
Dust the hen with insect powder place
her on the nest on some dummy eggs,
and cover her with another, ventilated
box Let her off in "a hours, and if
she goes back again, it viii be safe to
put good eggs under her.
Use an odd number of eggs, depend
ing upon the size of the hen and the
season Thirteen in cold weather and
Is in warm, is about right for g
Plymouth Rock hen.
Keep whole corn and pure water at
hand and let the hen take care of her
self. The chicks usually begin to
hatch on the twenty-first Gay. Let them
alone until the night Of the twenty
second day. Then mv-e her and the
chicks to a warm, dry coop and do
not feed the chicks until the twenty
fourth day.
1t is a good plan to set two hens
at the same time and give all of the
chicks to one hen after they are
hatched

Keen Chickens BUSY,

A head of cabbage or piece of meat
hung on a string just above the chick
ems heads will keep them busy for a
long time. Some of the self-feeding
hoppers which scatter the grain when
the hens jump up and peck at it are
good. although one breeder told US that
his hens soon grew wise about this
system and stood around waiting for
them. We do not doubt this; many
a time We have seen our own hens
standing under sunflower stalk wait
ing until a cock bird who had learned
the trick would fly upward against the
stalk and so tumble down the shat
