BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Cow Is Machine to Convert Food Into
MlIk-Should Possess Large Udder
and Strong Constitution.

In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester. The COW is machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have large middle and strong con-
stitution to insure the best results
She must also have large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance. with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean; the
shoulders pointed and the backbone
rather prominent. The skin should be
loose and soft to the touch. In select
ing herd bulls either mature animals
which have already demonstrated
their worth as sires or younger ami
mails from high-testing dams and sires
only should be used.

POULTRY KEEPERS DoN'Ts,
AS SEEN AT o. A. C. SHOW

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval.
lis.-"Don't use mongrel stock" was
one of the first signs on entering the
Utility Poultry Show held by the
Poultry Department Of the Oregon
Agricultural College last week. Pro-
fessor James Dryden thus expressed
his estimate Of the value Of mongrel
fowls. He has resorted to a limited
and scientific use of cross-breeding
in his work of developing a new va
riety, but only mongrels are different
considerations.
Don't use immature stock" was
the next sign displayed at the show.
Both size and vitality are affected un-
favorably by mating over young chick
ems. Vitality Is an important factor
In heavy egg-laying.
Don't start too big" comes next,
No amount Of knowledge and enthu-
siasm can make up for lack of expert
ence, and mistakes are sure to be
made in the beginning. II the begin
ming is on large scale, some Of these
mistakes will prove very serious.
Therefore, they should be made with
only few fowls. When the business
has grown the mistakes can be
avoided.
"Don'ts" will not conduct profit

gent observation Of these three will
steer the beginner clear Of some- of
the most disastrous, though alluring,
mistakes.

PROFIT BY GOOD CARE
Poultry on the Farm Receives
Indifferent Treatment.
Close Watch Should Be Kept on Busl-
ness All Round and Every Com
fcrt Provided to Prevent All
Infectious Disease.
(By R. G.. wEATHERsToNE)

(By r. G. wEATHERSTONE.)
No matter how good the stock may
be If they have not the proper care
they will pay you no better than mon
grels. Poultry on the farm, as rule,
receives Indifferent treatment
What does care" mean? 1t means
close watch on the business all
round. 1t provides every comfort,
prevents disease by keeping the prem
ises perfectly clean, never overcrowds,
and keeps the fowls busy, sorts out
the drones and gives the workers bet
ter attention. In short, care" means
using business principles in every
sense of the word.
The farmer is not giving the proper
care when he allows his fowls to roost
on trees, in wagons, wagon sheds, or
on the board fences. The proper care
is not given If the appetites and con-
ditions of the fowls are not studied.
System and regularity play an i'm
portant part in care. Economy in
labor, the saving of steps, the saving
OF muscles. the saving of time-all are
important.
Shiftlessness causes expensive ex-
periences. There is sure to be profit
In anything we take care Of. Success
Is accorded to management. Profits
depend upon the quality and quantity
of brain work put into the enterprise.
II man performs his work in a
mechanical way he will not be apt
to do it we'll. There are too many
who go by luck" They do not stop
to think. They do not take notice of
the little matters. They are always
hurrying to get done.
1t is said quality makes prices, but
1t costs considerable labor and brains
to make quality. Good management
curtails expense. Successful poultry
men use good common sense methods,
some others but little method, and
alas, some not any method at all.
Hard luck is generally brought
about by Encouragement. Disorder
creates disgust. Study and care, and
not luck and big talk, are the elements
Of success.
To quote Judge Brown: There are
too many poultrymen who let their
enthusiasm go down as the mercury In
the thermometer goes up or down.
The men who make the marked sue
cess in poultry raising are those
who never flag in their attention
those who know that the increased
labor and close attention hot weather
brings must be religiously observed,
the same being the case when the
cold weather is with us. 1t is the
man or woman behind the hen rather
than the breed that brings success.
Scrub treatment will bring about
scrub results. The best paying breed
is the one that is best cared for. Zeal
in the prosecution of the work should
be the characteristic Of every poultry
breeder
In conclusion, 1t must not be for
gotten that success depends on man.
agement. Business attention given to
a flock Of properly housed hens would
be revelation to many. especially to
the farmers themselves.

the Oregon Agricultural college. "If
you can identify the insect, and it is
harmful, then apply the standard
spray according to directions. If you
cannot identify it, then note the effect
it has on the plant. If the plant
shows signs of insect feeding, the vis-
itors that cause them are eating in
sects and can be controlled by arseni-
cal sprays. If the plant shows curled
leaves, wilted surface, creasing, un-
even and discolored tissues, but no
nibbled areas, the visitors are sucking
insects and can be controlled by con-
tact insecticides. But If the plant
shows no signs of damage the visitors

Crop Pest Report Is Used As
Text Book.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-What insect and disease pests
attack their crops and how to control
them, are being learned by the school
children of Kennewick, Washington,
from the Agricultural college biennial
crop pest report, which is used as a
text book. Requests for copies of the
report were made by students and
teachers of the Kennewick school,
who state that it contains the most
complete, reliable and practical in
formation of any publication that they
have found.
The report was written by the de-
partments of plant pathology and en-
tomology, from information collected
by observation and experiments ex-
tending over several years. 1t con-
taiDs description of approximately
all plant diseases of economic import
ance in the Northwest, together with
the most reliable and economical
methods of control. 1t also contains a
record of the most important insect
pests of this region and the most ap-
proved measures of control. The
pests are identified by description and
illustration, and their habits and the
nature of the injury they do are clearly
indicated. With this report as a
guide any intelligent grower of field,
fruit or garden crops, can identify the
worst pests and apply effective control
measures.
The report is of very great import
ance to growers throughout the North
west; Its intelligent use will result
in great saving of time, labor, ma
terial and produce. Copies may be
had free by sending requests for them
to the secretary of the Experiment
Station, o. A. c., Corvallis, Oregon.

whole houseful of ready-made locomo-

critical eye. lack many important de-
tails. The writer goes on:
These outfits consist of strips of
steel varying in length and having
holes punched at equal distances from
end to end. Included in these sets are
also gears, pinions. pulleys, fianged
wheels, axles. beams, etc., which give
the boy all the parts necessary TO
build UP almost any kind of mlnia-
ture machine. The strips are held to-
gether by means of small screws and
nuts. and the structures that can be
built lii this way in remarkably
short space of time by any boy are de-
clared to be surprisingly real in ap-
pearance. The various metal strips
are formed in imitation OF structural
steel beams. and the young engineer
In this way acquires knowledge of
the strength of materials and ele-
mentary engineering practice which
many weeks OF study from books
would probably fail to impress upon
his mind. He also becomes familiar
with the forms of many of the we'll
known works Of engineering and ac-
quires a knowledge of the subject
which cannot fail to be of great value
to him in later years, even though he
may not follow the engineering pro-
fession.
Each piece Of material is
nicely finished with smooth edges and
rounded corners and nearly all the
parts are nickel-plated. Everything
which the boy would require is sup.
piled with the outfit. even to a guam
