DAIIIlYN(yITS

Safety first is the best policy in
handling the dairy bull.
When you build barn see that It
is comfortable and sanitary.
Every COW in the herd should be
halter-broken. Begin while they are
calves.
If you haven't one, there is still
time to put up silo for this winters
feeding.
The calf should be given fine locks
Of hay when young to encourage its
appetite.
To have a calf that will mature
into a valuable individual give it
proper care from the start.
In any but a round silo the silage
does not settle well, and even settling
is what makes quality in silage.
Scours is far too common a malady
with young calves and If not checked
the outcome may be disastrous.
The COW that has to spend two
thirds OF her time fighting flies can
not count for much at the milk pail
The dairyman with q small herd OF
cows can well afford to build silo
and increase his herd and his profits.

LIBRARY BOOKS By MAIL
Parcel Post Marks New Departure in
Extension Work of Wisconsin
Free Library System.

Madison. of library
books by mail is announced as a
new plan by which the Wisconsin
Free Library commission will open to
all the citizens OF the state the vast
libraries of the University and the
State Historical society. Parcels post
and free delivery are to make access
ible almost half million volumes for
every citizen of Wisconsin, regardless
of where he lives.
While use of the parcels post is a
new departure in library extension
work, it nevertheless is a part of the
evolution of the Wisconsin Free Lii
brary system, and is a direct out
growth of the travelling library idea
instituted in this state by Frank Hut
chins about twenty years ago.
Matthew S. Dudgeon, secretary of
the Free Library Commission, like
Mr.. Hutchins, plans to furnish books
to those who need them most. While
employing the same principle as that
involved in the travelling library
plan, he has expanded that idea so
that instead of merely serving a COM
munity by sending box of books to
some central point, where the country
people can make a selection from
among the 40 or so volumes in the
box, the commission now is able to
serve the individual and send him
by parcels post any book he may de-
sire which is included among those
in the circulating departments of the
great State Historical and University
libraries.
This plan does for country folks by
mail what the city dweller does for
himself. When the city man wants
to draw books from the city library
he gets some property owner to sign
his application as guarantor When
the country man wants to draw books
from the Wisconsin Free Library
commission by parcels post he sends
letter enclosing the proper amount
of postage and giving the name of
the book he desires. At the bottom
of the letter is statement signed by
the school teacher, postmaster or Ii
brarian which says that the writer
of the letter is responsible citizen
of the community in which he lives.
