tactics.
In the course of the conversation it
was learned that the man had been
engaged In the retail milk business
in small Ohio town. He had never
raised a calf land his record proved
it, Chow could l afford to raise my
calves when I got 30 to 30 cents
gallon for the milk" was the way he
put it. Here is just where he fell
down, and here is where many of US
fall down. We fail to look far enough
ahead. 1t is impossible to get good
herd by buying the individuals as
COWS already giving milk. Those who
sell offer the poorest they have. They
can't afford to sell the best. Get a
pure bred sire from COW that is
high producer. II possible get one
whose female ancestors for four or
five generations back are high pro-
ducers, and use him as the head of
your herd. We must recognize the
fundamental law of breeding that
''like produces like If We mate
scrub stock we will have inferior off
spring. L we breed a scrub COW to a
good pure bred sire, the offspring is
sure to be better than the dam.
1t certainly does not take half
century to bring results in breeding
cattle. If the man who had been in
the business for forty years had
looked into the matter of breeding
UP and had seen the advantage of
sparing few gallons of milk for calf
feeding, he certainly would not have
given up the dairy business FOR apple
growing. This man had the wrong
COW when he started, and he also had
her when he finished. He followed
the same old rut and became dissat-
isfied.
Don't condemn the dairy business
because you have the wrong COW. It
is safe to condemn the COW, but there
is profit in the business il you have a
COW that will respond to good feeding
and management.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

One of the strongest things that
Secretary of State William J. Bryan
has said in his recent lectures has
to do with the subject of gambling.
Mr.. Bryan says:
1T is not strange that many are
charmed by the siren song of the
the extent that a man yields to the
temptation his morals are weakened.
There is but one sure measure of re-
ward; namely one that compensates
each in proportion as he serves So
ciety. The securing of something for
nothing by a lucky turn OF card or
sudden change in the market, para
1yZes ones purpose, and, in time,
renders him unfit for patient and per-
sistent effort. l might emphasize the
fact that gambling in stocks and farm
products often leads to embezzle-
ment, larceny and suicide, for these
are the fruits of speculation when it
becomes a disease. But ! prefer to
put my argument against gambling
upon the broader ground that it is in
all cases, demoralizing influence,
whether the gambler wins or loses.
Speculation makes but few rich
and many poor.
IF persons who are so fond OF get
ting something for nothing would on
fully they would realize that they can
ly stop and consider the matter care
enjoy the same sensation by saving
money and letting it earn compound
interest, because, in way, that is
getting something for nothing. The
money you have worked for works for
you, and when you have enough of it
at work you can stop working your
self if you want to do So.
THE surest sure thing" is a say
ling bank account. 1t is better to have
that to fall back upon than to take
chances on something that probably
will take away all your resources.
There is no thrift in chance.
Don't gamble, save

If the vacant, unoccupied and un-

any index to the opportunities for
home seekers to find place to locate
thousands of families with such priv
ileges. The general land office has
just issued a circular in which

les, or practically one-half the entire
area of the state. If this vast area
was tillible and divided into quarter
