and I'll tell you this; The man

never gets laid off; he's the one who
can get along without you, but you
cannot get along without him. The
bank habit means sound sleep, good

Dairy Herd Breed Not AIl-Impor-

tulN.
That the breed chosen is not the
all-important point in starting a
airy herd is the opinion of E. R.
Stockwell of the Oregon Agricultural
College. In a letter, not long ago,
he said:
The first question that arises in
starting a dairy herd is that of breed
The tendency is TO attach too much
Importance to this matter as influ-
encing the success of the venture.
Some consideration must be given to
the purpose for which the product is
to be used.
at is impossible to give data that
is satisfactory as to the relative pro-
duction of the different breeds. The
best figures available are those re-
ported from the experiment stations
in the United States, of animals
owned by them"
He then quoted figures showing
luS dNSldS hhilh plOuuCllOu anu pei :
centage of butter fat year for Hol-
stems, Jerseys, Guernseys and Ayr
shires. For instance, So Holsteins
averaged S,669 pounds milk, and SO
tested averaged 345 per cent fat;
1913 Jerseys averaged 5,50S pounds
milk, and 154 tested averaged 5.14
per cent fat; II Guernseys averaged
500 pounds milk, and 81 tested av-
eraged 4,9S per cent fat, while "a
Ayrshires averaged 6,535 pounds
milk and 3.S5 per cent fat.
The general plan to be followed
in building up dairy herd natural
ly will depend upon conditions such
as the purpose in view, the knowl-
edge of the business, the resources
at hand, - and so on" Mr.. Stockwell
continued.
There are two ways of getting a
herd together: to buy the animals,
which requires no small amount of
capital, and is difficult, or, probably
the best way, to breed them. 1t may
possibly be advisable to buy some
good foundation stock, and at vari-
Gus times pick up a good animal
when possible. | believe, however,
the most successful herds have been
bred and reared by their owners.
THE two things to be emphasized
in building up herd are, first, the
selection of the herd bull; and, sec
ond, the elimination of the unprofit-
able cows by keeping records of pro
duction of each"

Magazine of Fun. Pat was stand

The auto went past, and, just as it
was passing, the driver had occasion
to turn off the track. When he did
the auto skidded on the car track,
causing the back end of it to swing

ax Il. /. aolleY.

A good many people in North Dako.
ia are asking, at the present time,
how to treat alfalfa seed so as to
cause the hard seeds to grow. In most
samples Of northwestern grown seed
there are approximately Is to 90 per
cent OF seeds which are known to be
hard. They are perfectly visible.
live seeds, but for some reason do
not absorb water. We have been run.
ming experiments in the seed labora.
tory for a number of years 20 ascer.
tain how to treat those seeds so as
to make them grow without hurting
the seeds that do grow. The work is
not hard to do nut one must be care
full in doing it Or he may burn his
hands or clothes with the acid.
Place enough concentrated sulphur
ic acid in a five gallon, Or other com.
non stone butter jar to cover the
amount of seed you wish to treat.
Put an iron wire mesh screen, fine
enough to hold clover or alfalfa seed
from going through W. the top of a
second jar. When ready to do the
work have a wooden paddle in your
hand. Pour the clover or alfalfa
seed into the %sulphuric acid. Stir it
gently a few lime. just enough to be
sure that the acid gets on all the
seeds. b.; the watch, leave the seed
in the solution five to ten minutes,
no longer. Pour the seed and acid
through the screen of the second jar.
The seed should remain on top of the
screen. Plunge the seed which is on
the screen Immediately into a large
volume Of cold water or turn in run
ming wa,or on it., after removing it
from owe the sulphuric aciG. Rinse
the seed several times or for quite a
long period of time in clean water
until you are sure the acid is all re-
moved. Then dry the seed until it
is dry enough to allow you to SOW it.
Sow at once. Practically all of the
seeds will grow.
CAUTlON-ln handling the sui
phuric acid, 90 not let any large vol
ume of it at any one time come into
contact with water or you may burn
yourself, due to excessive heating OF
the water, or even explosion. 1t is a
simple operation and will save about
IS pounds of seed for every 100
pounds of clover or alfalfa seed used.

"A route Of through travel which
has been established this spring from
Chicago to Fort Mcpherson, two hun
dred miles beyond the Arctic Circle

Of the route, but settlement has been

tween the railroad and Fort McPher-
son, however, there are many settle

has been operating its steamers for
many years, and there has been es.
tablished trade and travel to and

Red River and Fort Good Hope, both
of which are over 1900 miles beyond
the Canadian Northern Railways new

stops have been made at Fort Nor

the other forts which have been es-
tablished since Sir John Frank!in's
party struggled through the region

With a new railroad spur building
to the Peace River Landing in the
midst of the growing settlement along
the Peace and its tributaries, the
frontier already has been pushed back
several hundred miles. 1t is expect
ed that the Canadian Northern will

MCCARTHY IS
At CALGARY

CALGARY, ALBERTA, May To-
Two years ago when Tommy Burns.
ex.heavyweight champion of the

present American white hope, in the
Calgary Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. that
he had the stuff in him for a good box
err, Luther, then a raw bOncd Oyuth Of
IS years, decided to put Tommy's
judgement to the test and enter the
ring. He was matched to fight Il
heavyweight by the name Of Joe
Grim in East Calgary on April IA,
1871. Mccarthy won the bout by a
knockout and because of his success
he determined to invade other and
larger fields. When Mccarthy left
Calgary two years ago, his friends
wished him success, hut few thought
he would ever amount to anything
as a fighter.
Last night Luther Mccarthy, now
hcralded as the white champion, step
ped off q G. p. r. train here. where
he has come to defend his title to
the premier position in the boxing
world, against Arthur Pclkcy, a pro
tege of Tommy Burns. Many OF
LMthcr's old time friends who scoffch
at him when he announced his de-
cisiOn to become a boxer were at the
station to meet the big boy and vel
come him back to the city where he
received his start. In place of a boy
they found a 4 with a title to de-
fend and a future in front of him.
Mccarthy was visibly pleased at his
reception and said so. He at once
went to Ogden, a few miles ont Of
