and that the average COW does not
give return of exceeding $40 per
year for the labor invested and food
consumed.
With increasing land values and
cost of labor and feed, such a return
gives little or no profit; and 1t is up to
the farmer-dairyman keeping average
cows to find out why he is working
without compensation. IL the average
dairy herd in the United States pro-
duces just enough to induce it's owner
to keep on working, 1t Is evident that
many cows are kept at a loss, and that
II the average production could be
raised a nice profit would result II
is also evident that the only way to
raise the average is to improve the
methods of caring for the cattle and
also the cattle themselves. BY i'm
proving the methods, 1t Is quite likely
that the better three-fourths Of the
COWS would produce as much profit az
oil now do and the one-fourth now
kept at a dead loss might be sent to
the block without decreasing the out
put of dairy products. The man who
milks cows merely for the pleasure he
gets out of it, provided he can AFFORD
1t, may confer a favor on humanity.
but does not show good judgment, and
the sooner such men can be induced
to change their methods the better 1t
will be for the whole dairy industry.
Improvement in conditions is neces-
sarily slow. The greater part of tho
owners are lethargic: but there lie al
ways a progressive portion that ID
looking for better things, and this
portion will in time leayen the whole
mass. The main cause of this lethargy
is ignorance. Few men would keep
were kept at loss; but they do not
test the cows individually and 80 can
not know.
All progress in dairy husbandry.
aside from improved methods of car
ing for the cattle. must depend upon
improvement by selection and by
breeding. BY selection of the best
cows, and breeding to the sons of best
COWS, in time a great Improvement
would be shown; but this process Is
too slow when there is a quicker way.
That quicker way Is to make use Of
the improved dairy breeds for the OBJ
tanning of bulls with which to mate
the selected COWS. An improved breed
is one that Is able to convert food in
to valuable products more profitably
than could the breed or breeds from
Which it was derived. Also 1t must be
so thoroughly established that it will
breed true. The breed which should
be carefully bred to is the one that
excels in the profitable production OF
milk. butter. cheese and veal. and alse
beef production.

The combination beef and dairy
COW has been thus described: A COW
that is large, strong and vigorous, full
of energy and Astounding in vitality;
physical organization and digestive
capacity such that she is able to turn
to the best advantage the roughage OF
the farm, converting 1t into merchant
able products; that she yields large
quantities of most excellent milk fit
for any and all uses; that heredity Is
so firmly established that she is able
to perpetuate herself through the pro-
duction of strong, healthy calves; and
that when for any reason her useful
ness in the dairy is at an end, she
fattens readily and makes excellent
beef.
No one will deny the need of a dual
purpose dairy breed in America lone
that is primarily a dairy breed but
that will also furnish desirable beef.
The old system of beef production
resting on free range, cheap lands and
cheap feed is even now thing of the
past. Meats of all kinds are, year by
year, advancing in price; and If the
working people are to have beef at all
within their means. it must come

Because this is sweater for real
comfort in cool days it is rather heavy.
It's usefulness begins with fall, and

Sweaters of wool stand the rough

MARKETING THE PEACH CROP
One successful Way Is in Car Lots
and That Means Comparatively
Some Essential Hints.

For conditions whore the markets
are comparatively distant there Is
1ust one way to market peaches sue
cessfully on a commercial scale. and
that is in car lots. This generally
means comparatively, as few growers
have enough of any one variety to
make up a car lot themselves. Grow
ers in the same community should
plant the same variety in order that
they may ripen at the same date. 1t
is almost impossible for a peach grow
err to live by himself. Therefore do
not expect to go into community. no
matter how well the soil and climate
are adapted to the cultivation OF
peaches. and expect to make a success
OF Ave or ten acres of peaches unless
you have a good local market. Better

you and plant few acres and market

with larger central market agency.
AS for peaches. the trade uses the
bushel basket and the six-baskct
crate. Nearly all the markets prefer
the buchel basket. and there it is,
in most cases. the more desirable
package.
Proper picking. grading and pack
ing are essential features in peach
marketing.

silver tinsel braid which has the effect
of needlework. It looks like close-set

from the dairy herds of the country.
Except for beef for the few who are
able to pay very high prices. cows can
no longer be kept merely for the calves
produced; practically everywhere the
dairy COW must take the place of the
beef cow. Since these facts are in
disputable. farmer-dairymen seeking
to improve their herds for dairy pur-
poses should keep the item of meat
production constantly in mind.
How many cows there are in the
United States that are kept for milk
production, except for such figures as
are found in the census tables. is I'M
known; but 1t may be safely stated
that the number exceeds 100000.

OF all things, millinery requires
careful choosing. and, after it is
bought, the hat requires careful plac-
ing on the head, IL it is to fulfill its
destiny. According to an old millin-
cry maxim that destiny is to improve
the appearance of the wearer. You
must look better with your hat than
without it"-that is the exacting test
to which each new mode is to be sub
jected.
The three new models for fall,
which appear here, are types that will
repay little study on the part of
those who consider things before buy
ing them. They include small tur-
ban, turban with extension crown
which forms a halo brim. and one Of
the graceful wide-brimmed hats to

brimmed hats are shaped with brims

PREDICTS $3.50 FOR WHEAT.
Portland Lecturer Says That Price

Crop ls Harvested.

Fort Collins.-Wheat will rise to
$3.50 a bushel before another crop is

gress and short course in session here
at the agricultural college by L.. M.
Jeffers of Portland, Ore, in charge of
the Portland grain standardization
laboratories for the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Jeffers said that at the rate wheat
is being exported more than the coun-
try's surplus will have been shipped
abroad. Under this condition, he said,
the ensuing shortage would send the
grain up to $3.50 before the next crop
could be thrashed. It would be i'm
