NEED OF GOOD DAIRY SIRES
Cheapest investment Farmer Can
Make 10 Purchase Of Pure Bred
Bull to Sulid Up Herd.

(By RAY p. sPElER, Minnesota College
of Agriculture)
It has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest Investment
that can be made by farmer who IL
trying to build up the standard of q
herd of cattle lies in the purchase oi
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 al
various state fairs last fall. One OF
many instances will suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair judge had tc
choose between two cows 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 its own sire
though the dam was the same, thai
there was no trouble in distinguishing
between the two. The one that had
been produced by the more outstand
Ing sire was 80 superior to the one
that had been produced by the less su
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 herd with limited
capital, or has a 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
II good pure bred bull is used. Such
bull can be purchased very reason
ably II proper care is taken by the
purchaser.

Zones of Silence

Zones of silence such as that dis.
covered in the Alps have been known
to scientists for long time. Some
years ago committee conducted q
series of experiments in the English
channel with the loudest and most
ear piercing sirens, whistles and hoot-
ers they could procure. 1t was found
that sometimes on the clearest and
quietest day sound was maccounta-
bly, inaudible at short distance. This
demonstrated conclusively the exis-
tence of soundless zones and incident
ally suggested an explanation of GER
tain ocean disasters.

Small Print Bad for Children.

Small print leads the young scholar
to look too closely at his books. He
is not yet familiar with the forms of
the words, and his eyesight has not
yet reached it's full acuteness. For
easy vision he must have retinal i'm
ages larger than those which satisfy
the trained reader. To obtain these
larger images he brings the book too
near to his eyes, or his eyes too near

Alfalfa Reduces Temperatur

1t has been learned by actual ex-
perience that alfalfa planted on the
south and southwest of the homes of
those western farmers will reduce the
temperature from six to fifteen de-
grees on one of those hot, sultry days.
There is cool breath from the alfal-
ia field all the time. The difference in
temperature from the south to the
north side of large field Of alfalfa
is shown by actual tests.
