(By J. Fl. FRANDSEN. professor Of
Dairy Husbandry. University of Ne
braska)
The question is frequently asked by
the man who contemplates going into
the dairy business: With my limited
capital and experience would | be
justified in starting in with pure-bred
animals? The writer firmly believes
that the inexperienced man with small
capital should start with grade cows.
His limited capital, will in this way
enable him to secure much larger
herd than he could in any other way.
since good grade cows can be pur-
chased for a fraction Of the cost OF
pure-bred animals. While he Is yet
new in the business his profits would
come largely from the sale of milk
products. For these he can readily
secure a market II he has an in
clination to handle pure-bred stock he
can work into this as fast as his &C
quired experience and capital will per-
nit.
In selecting the grade cows for his
herd the dairyman should bear in
mind three points:
1st-Select that dairy breed that
best suits him.
2d-Select only such cows as con-
form to the dairy type.
3d-Investigate carefully the butter
fat record of each COW before purchas-
ing.
The next step in building up the
herd is to secure good sire. Although
starting in with grade cows the dairy
man should certainly bear in mind
that he cannot afford to head his herd
with anything less than good. pure
bred sire, one capable of building up
the herd. There is much truth in the
expression frequently used: "The sire
| equals half the herd" Indeed, he often
equals more than three-fourths of the
herd so far as its future value is con-
cerned
Take for instance herd Of twenty
five cows headed by a pure-bred sire.
Experience has demonstrated that
heifers as a result of having had a
good pure-bred sire will readily yield
two pounds additional milk at each
milking. This means four pounds addi-
tional milk per day from the heifer as
direct result of the better sire. Sup
posing the cow milks approximately
800 days year and the average milk.
ing period of COW is six years the in
crease in milk production due to the
better sire would be 4 times 300 times

The man who comes to your dairy
farm and wants to buy the heifers
from the best cows Is not always your
best friend. Be careful before you
sell them to him. 1t is moving back
ward in the dairy industry to let
these go.
A well-kept flock of hens means q
steady income-enough to keep you in
spending money while you are waiting
for your crops to grow. That one
thing is enough to recommend poul.
try keeping as a suitable side line"
for the boy farmer.
Good housing is one of the essentials
for egg production, and consequently
should be given proper consideration.
A hen that Is comfortable and happy
is more apt to be profitable than one
that is uncomfortable.
A recommended treatment for warts
on cows teats: Put some water in a
bottle and add as much alum as the
water will dissolve. After each milk
ing touch the warts with this mixture
and they wifi soon disappear.

6 or 1900 pounds of milk. Estimat-
ing this at 81 per 100 pounds at the
very lowest. would give us $72 per COW
addition profit. From the herd of
twenty-five cows 1t is reasonable to
suppose that about ten heifer calves
would be raised per year, which would
give a profit of 1920. A sire can do
service In the same herd for three
years, thus in this time increasing the
number of heifers raised to thirty and
increasing the profits due to the bet
ter sire to $3.50. After making due
allowance for increased cost Of pure
bred sire and interest on the money
invested it will readily be seen that
the investment nets handsome divi-
dend. So there can be no doubt that
this Is the cheapest, quickest and most
practical way of building up the dairy
herd. The value of the dairy sire has
been most strikingly brought out in
recent bulletin published by Professor
Fraser of the Illinois station. In the
selection of sire the dairyman must
keep In mind that pedigree alone does
not count for much. In fact, some Of
the very poorest animals are the pure
bred scrubs" The purchaser of bull
should select an animal that is good
individual and whose dam and grand
dam on his sire's side have good but
terfat records. His sire must, Of
course, show the characteristics Of the
good dairy type. II these ancestors
are first class in every way the ques-
ton of pedigree ought to be settled
sufficiently. 1t is immediate ancestry
that counts rather than the fact that
away back in the hazy past the bull
had some few remarkable ancestors.
Briefly, the bull should have a good
pedigree, be good individual, should
be vigorous, as shown by bright eye
and active disposition. He should
have fine skin and soft, silky hair;
chest broad, with ribs well sprung and
body deep. Last, but not least, the
hind quarters should be light, not too
f1eshy.
When the right animal Is found
bear in mind that the price is not
much of an object for the good pure.
bred bull will readily manifest his
prepotency over the weaker blood Of
the grade stock

DISEASE OF GRAIN
MORE PREVALENT
Most Urgently Recommended
That Every Grower Be Care
full in Selection OF Seed.

nv JOHN G. HALL, Pathologist, Wash
ington Experiment Station)
In view of the fact that the loose
smut of the grains Is becoming more
and more prevalent each year 1t has
been considered advisable to present
to the grain growers a short state
ment concerning It.
This smut Is different from the
sinking smut, in that the plant Is not
infected in the Seeding stage, but
gains admittance to the host at BIOS
soming time. The head also appears
different. The smut does not remain
within the membrane Of the kernel,
but early breaks out and for short
time shows as a black, powdery mass
of smut spores. These soon disap-
pear, leaving only the stem of the
head with a few smut spores attached
to 1t.
The smut can be prevented by the
treatment Of the seed, but the proce-
dure of treatment is so complicated
and delicate that 1t is not practical for
the ordinary grain grower.
On account Of these facts and with
the hope that the disease may be kept
out of the fields OF the state, 1t Is most
urgently recommended that every
grower be exceedingly careful in the
selection of his grain for seed. Be
sure that the seed comes from field
that was free from smut and, IL pos.
sible, was not threshed by machine
that had handled grain containing the
loose smut. II these suggestions are
carried out the spread of the smut
will be stopped and its introduction
into new territory prevented.

rivers. The evolution of present day
conditions in this section is particu-
larly important in its bearing on
highway repair and maintenance. The
rapidly increasing automobile traffic
on highways has greatly stimulated
interest in road improvement and pro-
foundly modified methods of construc-
ton and maintenance.
At the beginning Of the year 1913,
80 per cent, or approximately 2,0OO,-
900 miles, of the roads in this coun.
try were earth. The repair and proper
maintenance Of earth roads are there
fore of great Importance. To pre-,
serve properly built or repaired
earth road, it has been repeatedly
demonstrated that the best method is
some system of continuous mainte'
nance. The operations involved in
maintenance are in one sense small
repairs. The economy in small re,
pairs over extensive periodic repairs
Is largely due to the fact that defects
in a road develop at an increasing
rate If allowed to continue, and the
cost of restoring the road to the nor.
NAL condition is consequently made
greater than the actual sum OF the
costs Of repeated minute repairs. The
split-log drag, or some Of its modifica'
lions, has proved beyond doubt the
best tool for earth-road maintenance

Rice az Food,

Rice forms nearly one-half of the
cereal food of the world and wheat is
the chief cereal food of the other half.
The quantity Of these two cere-
ais produced is approximately the
same, the latest estimate placing the
worlds rice crop at 175 billion pounds
and the worlds wheat crop at 100 bill
lion pounds.

Obtain Best Results.

The best results are obtained from
an incubator when eggs put in 1t are
freshly laid. II enough to fill the ma
chine cannot be obtained at one time,
the eggs should be stored at tenn
perature of 40 to so degrees. Above
this they will start to incubating Of
themselves, while below 40 tends to
weaken the germ.
