The next bull used was Hugorotus,
an animal with no high producing in
dividuals in his ancestry. His daugh.
tiers produced 393 lbs. less milk than
their dams; but the percentage Of fat
was much higher, making an increase
In fat amounting to IA lbs.
The third bull-Lorn Of Meridale-
had a fine pedigree; and his daughters
Increased the average production 1410
lbs of milk and Sc lbs. Of fat. The
average production Of his daughters
was 5se9 lbs Of milk and 2S7 lbs. OF
fat
The next bull was Missouri Rioter.
Ord. a son Of Missouri Rioter. His
mother was the best COW in the herd.
His daughters produced 1890 lbs. Of
milk and 146 lbs. fat more than their
dams
Minette's Pedro was used after Mis-
souri, Rioter, 3rd. He was an animal
Of fine breeding with many high-class
animals in his pedigree. Ten Of his
daughters were superior to their dams;
and ten were inferior. There was an
increase Of 55 lbs. Of milk and lbs.
Of fat. This bull was holding the aver
age Of the herd.
Brown Bessie's Registrar was the
last bull used with daughters old
enough to test. The data regarding this
bull are too limited to draw conclu.
sions, but it is evident his daughters
are inferior. The daughters produced
1884 lbs. milk and rs lbs. fat less than
their dams.
The records show the great care that
should be used in selecting BULL and
the desirability of keeping the bull in
the herd until the production Of his
daughters is known. Missouri Rioter
was sold before his daughters began
to produce, and valuable bull was lost
to the breed.

Learning Through SUFFERING.

The world is filled with men who are
trying to reform some one else, with
those who have some panacea or an
tidote for all ills and who think that
by legislation or other outward press
ure men and women may be made
ideal. There is nothing to such no.
tons. Life is a struggle, and gen
orally hard one. Good character is
built upon overcoming oneself, and
unless reforms begin from the inside
they do not last long. Boys are pun
ished not to give them pain, but to
give certain definite reactions between
the physical and moral parts of their
composition. The rod has been abused,
but it is now more neglected than
overworked. 1t is through sad expert
ence that we achieve moral worth

Kept Good Fortune Secret.

"The other evening I was helping
my wife to hang pictures, said man.
While l was high up on the ladder
waiting to get the hangers, l me-
chanically put my hand in the pocket
Of a pair of trousers. incidentally, l
had not had them on for years. l al
most fell of when l felt a bill. At
that moment, however. my wife re-
turned. Naturally, l couldn't at once
determine the extent of my good for
tune. But hung the particular pic
ture on which l was then working in
record time. Then l went to the
kitchen. 1t turned out to be a five
spot. Some luck, boy?" What did
your wife say when you told herr" ]
asked. Did you divide up?" What?
Who told her? Me? Not on your
life. l just rushed back and contin-
ued to hang pictures with renewed
vigor!"

The Banana,

The thoroughly ripe banana Tor less
ripe fruit, after cooking) is a very USE
full and wholesome addition to the
dietary. In hot weather the baked
banana makes an excellent substitute
for meat-in fact at any season it
may be used as an extra vegetable"
To prepare the fruit for baking, wash
the bananas, cut half an inch from
each end Of the banana, and then ar
range the bananas on a tin plate (pie
plate), and place in the oven to bake.
They will be ready for use when the
skin wrinkles and juice flows after
pricking the skin with a fork They
are quite done" when the pierced
fruit is soft. They may be eaten as
one does baked potato-seasoned
with butter, pepper and salt.

DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SEED
POTATOES SHOULD NOT BE
MIXED BEFORE PLANTING.

Potato growers often find their stock
mixed and are at loss to account for
it. Some who have not become we'll
informed seem to think that the wind
or bees may effect the blossoms and
that LIS the way the mixture happened.
1t Is only when potatoes are grown
from the actual seed which is found
in the ball-shaped pods where the bios
SONS have been, that the bees or wind
can cause any mixing. There are sew
eral ways in which mixing may oc-
cur. One is by the accidental dumping
Of sack Of one variety into a pile
Of another. Another way which l be-
lieve often happens, where one il
growing the Mccormick variety is,
that there are some tubers left over In
the soil from previous digging which
perpetuate themselves and thus get
into later crop. Another chance for
mixing which Is probably the least
common, although by no means rare,
is bud variation. Bud variation is con.
stantly happening in plants and the
most common form In potatoes is the
color Of the skin. The White Nc
Cormick is bud variation Of the older
pinkeyed variety. Now, there has ap-
peared in the White variety "sprout"
or bud variation with splashes of
pink on the skin.
If potatoes do get mixed it is often
less trouble to separate them after they
commence to sprout. Sprouts that have
started in the dark in some varieties
are pure white, others are yellowish
white, others have some purple in
them. A very common mixture is
Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain The
sprouts Of Green Mountain, when
grown in the dark, are clear green
ish yellow, while those Of Irish Cob
bier are white, with purplish streaks
and patches at the base.

Two at Price of One,

A clerk in a law Office sat at
typewriter, busily pounding out let
ter which he had been instructed to
write. His fingers moved nimbly over
the keys of the machine and his lips
kept pace with his ingers-though
emitting no sound. 1t was suggestive
of the person who, when reading can
not avoid the lip movement when
scanning the printed page. Say, I've
got prize in that chap" the head of

Not Enough for Him.

Everyone who has visited ST. Paul
and Minneapolis knows there is a de-
cided feeling of rivalry between these
two large, growing cities. A speaker
addressing an audience at st. Paul,
spoke of the reckless driving of mo-
tor cars that at that time was preva-
lent in Minneapolis and expressed the
hope that st. Paul would not follow
the example of her rival city. why"
said the speaker, II have heard that
some four or five inhabitants are killed
in Minneapolis by automobiles every
week." And to his amazement from
the audience came a voice: "Waal, it

Eight.Day Jewish Festival.

The Hebrew holiday, Chanukah, the
feast of the dedication, began Satur-
day night at sunset. The festival is
pre-eminently a domestic one. The
feast will continue for eight days in
commemoration of the rededication of
the temple of Jerusalem in The year
los B. c. after the Jews gained their
independence from the Syrians and
cast out the shrine Antiochus Epiph-
anes had set upon the altar.
Cheer and good will to their fellow
man mark the spirit of the feast. Chill
dren and the home are expected to be
gladdened by entertainment Of songs
and pastimes. Each day a candle is
burned in Jewish homes, until the
eighth day, when eight candles will
be burned. This observance sybolizes
the rededication of the temple, when
one cruise of oil, expected insufficient
to burn one day, burned eight days

To Test Suspected Coin.

There is a very simple means Of
testing a suspected coin, which can be
applied in any circumstances. Take a
good coin and vigorously rub its
milled edge against that of the sus-
pect. If the coin on trial is a wrong
'un" it will peel OF, or at least show
signs of taking. If the edge bears
the test the coin may safely be accept
ed. This advice was given by an Off
Ger of the criminal investigation de-
partment OF England, who declared it
to be a certain test.

1t has been found that the quality of
high egg production is what is known
as sex limited character, and that
the male bird is capable of reproducing
the high laying quality very much
more than the female.
Heretofore, little attention has been
paid to the male, outside of selecting
one from high producing dam. Now
the approved method of breeding for
egg production is to get male from
some known high producing strain,
and mate him to the flock.
In order to breed for high produc.
tiveness, 1t Is necessary to test out the
ability Of the male to get high laying
pullets. This can be done by keeping
the pullets from several matings in
separate pens and getting a record OF
their eggs
