COW that merely pays for her feed
because of the fertility she returns to
the soil is no reason why we should
not keep good COW.
A good COW will bring us just as
much fertilizer, will cost very little
more to keep, will bring the owner
much larger net return. The same is
true of good beef and good hogs, and
good poultry. We cannot afford to
waste time and money on poor stock.

The buyer of purebred live stock
must get away from the idea that
really good registered animals may
be wisely sold for the market price
of beef, pork or mutton. Breeders
complain that large number Of
their inquiries are for SIS bulls or for
$40 cows. Such are plain scrub stock
prices.
Oftentimes the breeder has scrub
pure-bred ON hand, and the tempta.
ton to sell is great, SO he puts on a
price a little in excess of the stock
yards valuation, and ends up by ship

superior animal, when the chances
are that the best of his stuff at home
is better Naturally, he becomes dis
satisfied in time, and tells his neigh
bors Thus prejudice grows.
Blood lines mean nothing unless &C.
companied by superior individuality.
The breeder has a heavy investment.
His advertising charges, his showing.
the extra care and attention he must
give the high class stock make it nee
essary for him to charge prices which
seem unduly high to many OF us; but
which are really low when the value
of their good stock as sires is con-
sidered
They cannot breed high-class pure
bred stock merely for fun. The cas-
trating knife should be used more
than it is; but so long as the farmer
asks for pure-breds at an advance OF
a few dollars over the cost of grades,
some breeders will continue to supply
them, to the detriment of themselves,
the buyer, the breed and of the whole
live stock business. A scrub purebred
causes more damage than a grade and
S75 mature bulls cannot be anything
more than scrubs.

WIDOW SELLS LIVE BABIES
New York Woman Admits She Makes
Practice Of Supplying Infants
Without Question.

New York-Any person wishing
to buy baby may purchase male or
female child of any nationality, with
hair and eyes of the desired color by
placing an order with Mrs. Dora
Remmlin, a German widow.
To be certain that the infant comes
up to specifications it is we'll to make
arrangements some time in advance
OF the day the little one is wanted, for
the reason that at present the demand
is greater than the supply.
The baby will cost from SO to $40.
The purchaser need not adopt the
child; need not give his or her right
name; need not promise to support
the child, and need show no refer
ences to as to character or as to
financial ability to clothe and feed
the infant. The bargain can be made
in the strictest secrecy and with no
fear that the law will step in.
The discovery that babies are sold
like horses, COWS, dogs and puppies.
only very much cheaper, was made by
investigation of an advertisement
According to this advertisement a
woman wished to adopt newly born
boy and girl. 1t developed that the
advertiser was Mrs. Remmlin and that
her purpose was to fill orders over
due.
From Mrs. Remmlin it was learned
that a large number of women sup
port themselves by the care and sale
of babies; that most of these are fos
tered upon unsuspecting husbands;
that in some cases babies are
swapped; that the dealers consider
their business perfectly legitimate and
that the price of infants has declined
in inverse ratio to the cost of living.
Mrs. Remmlin believes she is fully
within the law.
The sale of human being is a
felony under the federal laws, but il
the seller swears she was paid for hel
Offices as a procurer of the child and
that the money received was for hel
trouble and not in exchange for the
child, she cannot be charged with
crime.

EXPERIMENTS in
STEER FEEDING
S;!aue Can Be Used as Roughaga
Even in Coolest Of Winters
Other Tests Made.

Experiments in steer feeding at the
Pennsylvania Experiment station
showed that in cattle feeding the
profit secured from the by-product OF
feed lots may amount to more than
the direct financial gain on the cattle.
The test shows conclusively that
silage can be used as roughage even
in the coolest Of winter when fed in
an open shed; that there was con.
siderable saving of corn by the exclu'
sive use of silage during the first part
of the feeding period and that the
value of feeds utilized in the produc-
ton of beef during the winter of 1911
II was much greater than their mar
ket value.
The results of this and ooher tests
at the Pennsylvania station indicate
that beef can be finished rrof1tably IN
the state, where due attention Ii
paid to the growth of crops equally
adaptable to the soil and to feeding
purposes.

We can get larger returns from our
corn through our cows, steers and
hogs, than in any other way. For
three years the writer has been SELL
Ing his corn to grade Holstein cows
for a dollar bushel cash, besides the
fertility returned to the field, says a
writer in the Farm, Stock and Home.
The same is true Of that which has
been fed to poultry. The remark is
often heard: THE dairy COW is too
much work / don't like to milk, and
/ can't get hired men that will do it"
That is no doubt true where one
tries to do two times as much work
as he ought, and when the dairy is
cared for in haphazard way
where men are expected to work hard
in the field and do the milking in a
filthy barn. 1t is not uncommon to
see barns where the cows and horses
have to sleep on dirty and hard floors
without any bedding, while tons and
tons OF straw are every year being
burnt.
Under such conditions is there any
wonder that our hired men do not
want to milk? In communities where
the most of the farmers have good,
clean barns, with cement floors, and
use plenty Of bedding. they have little
trouble in getting their men to milk.
But if your conditions outside of
these mentioned are such that you
can't help and don't like to milk,
there are good opportunities for you
in beef or pork raising.
Fit carload or two Of steers every
winter to put onto the market in the
spring, when prices are high 1t is no
doubt true that the work with fat
stock is not SO particular as that with
the dairy COW. 1t does not require
such expensive buildings nor SO much
help excepting in the winter when it
is easy to get. Owing to the high
prices of beef during the past two
years COWS and young calves that
should have grown into beef have
been rushed onto the market by the
thousands.
Indications are that there will be a
shortage in beef supply, and prices
will be still higher in a few years tc
come than they are at present. Sc
there will be good opportunities fol
any one who wants to do something
besides growing grain. There is gooe
money in stock when it is cared for ii

GRAIN BREEDING.
Care Needed To Keep Yo-r Seed
Pure.

By Manley Champlin, in Dakota
Farmer.
iNa tinnal Crop Improvement Service.1
Those who are trying to grow pure
seed grain will find that their difficult
ties are many and that great care Is
required to keep the seed from be-
coming mixed. There is possibility O.
mixing every time the grain is handled
at the bin, the drill, the binder, the
thresher and the elevator. These j
also danger from volunteer grain i
the field if small grain of one kin
follows small grain of another kint
There are several things that can b
done to help avoid mixtures:
l. Grow the seed grain on clean
cultivated corn land.
2. Grow not more than two varf
cites on your farm, preferably one
early and one late variety of each
cereal you are raising.
8. Encourage neighborhood coop
Grafton SO that given township or
community will specialize on very
few varieties.
d. See that the drill, binder, fan
ming mill, sacks, wagon boxes, etc,
are thoroughly cleaned before chang
ing from one variety to another.
g. Insist that custom thresher
clean his machine thoroughly before
threshing your grain fields even if you
do have to pay him for it. Take a
broom or sprayer and disinfect the
thresher with formaldehyde solution,
one pint to forty or fifty gallons of
water to avoid most forms of smut
that may be brought in the machine.
g. Clean the grain thoroughly with
a good tanning mill.
Z. If you are planning to sell seed
grain, run seed plot Of about an
acre each year planted ffom selected
heads and thus grow as much of your
own seed as possible from plots that
have the mixtures and weak plants
eliminated.
8. Disc the field early to bring up
volunteer grain. If you feel like say
ing, whats the -use?" just figure i
out yourself. Suppose you are trying
to get started in some variety that ha
shown itself superior at the expc'
nent station. Such varieties ha,
been found to yield many per cent
better in eight and ten-year averages
than other varieties. Then suppose
it is badly mixed the first year. Think
what you will lose. For example, if
Red Fife is ten per cent Bluestem, you
will have to cut the field long before
the Bluestcm has filled, and thus lose
the greater part of that ten per cent
or one hundred dollars per thousand.

The secretary of the Los Angeles

ment that people do not drink as they
used to do. He says: "The population

1t has been more than doubled today.
Were conditions now as they used to
be there should be marked increase
In the liquor trafic There has not
been sign of increase. The only
logical conclusion for this is that peo-
pie are awakening to the fact that too
much liquor is harmful"

ATTITUDE OF THE w. C. T. u.
President Lillian Stevens Makes
Statement Before Portland Con-
Vention as to Status.

A statement of the nonpartisan at
tltude OF the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union was made before the
Portland convention by Lillian M. N.
Stevens, national president, which is
as follows:
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance union is neither a sectarian nor
a partisan organization. Each mem
Der is free to choose her own church
and her own party. While the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union
women, in some of the northern
states, have been using their influ-
ence for the election of Republican
candidates who stood for statewide
prohibition on a prohibition platform,
the w. c. T. U. of some of the south
ern states, have by the same token,
worked for the election of Democratic
candidates. A careful study Of the ma
tional platforms reveals that only one
party recognizes the evils of the
liquor traffic, and declares that it
should be destroyed. While some
white ribboners still have hope that
the old national parties, and the new
national party, will redeem them
selves from the onus of favoring the
mighty vested interests of the liquor
traffic, having a combined capital of
a thousand million dollars, others re-
gard the national prohibition party as
the party which is to lead the people
out of the wilderness Of strong drink.
