COMMUNITY PLAN
HAS MANY
ADVANTAGES

When two or more men start to
bree dthe same kind of dairy cattle in
the same neighborhood ! feel sure
that if they are men that can get to-
gether, they will find it to their ad
vantage to do so. In the case of
small herds the cost of good bull
may seem quite an item. If two or
more men buy bull together, the.
may be able to get better bull than
either would own individually and
still have money to buy females.
They are other advantages, one CT
which is that the more daughters i
bull may have the better he may be
judged as a sire. In the case of men
who are doing official test work this
has considerable advertising value.
Another advantage is that when diff.
ferent neighbors watch the growth IT
their neighbors' calves and young
stock they will try not to let the other
fellows stock get the STRAIT of theirs
This will result in better growth and
better developed cattle

SELECTION OF HERD
BULL OF THE
GREATEST IMPORTANCE

Farmers everywhere are beginning
to appreciate the need for pure-bred
sires. In dairying the selection of the
herd bull is of the greatest Importance
because he is at least half the herd
from the breeding point of view. His
influence on the characteristics of ev-
cry calf born in the herd is as great
as that of the dam or the calf. 1T he
is a purc-bred animal used on grade
cows, his influence will be more than
half because his transmitting powers
in breed characteristics will be
stronger.
No bull whose dam and paternal
grand dam were not capable of pro-
ducing 200 pounds of butterfat in 365
days should be used for breeding pur-
poses if good results are expected. 1t
would be much better if this premium
were set at $50 The prudent dairy
man will select calf from cow
which produced 400 pounds or more
of butterfat.
If the use OF bulls from dams and
paternal granddams producing less
than 800 pounds of fat were prohibited
by State law it would be long step
in advance. Much damage has been
done by INSCRIPTIONS and ignorant
breeders, who have sold, for breeding
purposes and at low prices, pure-bred
male calves from cows which did not
pay for their keep, but had long line
of purebred ancestry.
. In getting bulls from other herds
be sure that they are healthy. 1t is
especially important to avoid conta-
gious abortion and tuberculosis. Sat
sfactory young bulls of breeding age
cannot always be purchased easily,
and therefore it is always best to have
a young bull growing up to take the
place of the older herd bull

FARMERS BEGINNING
TO REALIZE IMPORTANCE
OF POTATO MULCH

The farmers of the great West arc
ance of mulching potatoes. Years
ago when the soil was new this man
ner of treatment was unnecessary be-
cause the soil was SO rich III food
elements that the potatoes took an
early and rapid start and made such
excellent growth that the vines shaded
the ground, thus preserving the moist
ure in the soil.
1t would have been queer indeed
for these early farmers to mulch their
potatoes under such conditions, and
when also, hay and straw were scarce
articles.
But now the fact must gradually
dawn upon them that if they wish to
keep up the abundant yield OF large
mealy potatoes they must resor: to
some other means that merely letting
nature attend to the matter to get
results.
Perhaps if we understand the pres
ent conditions of the soil it would
help us to understand more clearly
the necessity of mulching. The soil
through continued cropping has be-
come deficient in food elements and
humus. Nearly every crop we raise
is taken entirely from the field and
no return is made in the form of man
ure. fertilizer or humus.
Under these conditions the potatoes
make a slow growth and before the
vines get the ground shaded the sea-
son is so far advanced that the hot
winds and suns heat have taken up
most of the moisture of the soil, with
the result that the crop is materially
decreased.
One should choose such time for
mulching when the first potatoes show
above the ground. If mulched before
this time it has tendency to make
the plants soft and puny. but if left
until the first potatoes appear above
the ground TIE plants will be strong
err and better able to push through
the mulching
A fairly light mulch is to be pre-
ferred to a heavy one, for two rea-
sons. First, there will be less trash
to he removed from the fields in the
fall; and second, light mulch will
allow the vines to become low set and
therefore less liable to danger from
drought
A light mulching need not be re-
moved from the field at all, but should
remain there and thus 2dd more hui
mus to the soil.
The mulching should be about two
or three inches deep when fairly well
settled. Hay is to be preferred to
straw for mulching, as the latter has
a tendency to become hot during the
day, while the former will keep cooler
under the same conditions.
After the potatoes are mulched they
should not be molested except to pull
the weeds that might come through
the mulching-By L. Gitske.

Mr.. Thomas Addresses Voters.

To the Republicans of Ohio County.
For twenty-five years I have been
one of you. I have voted with you
at the ballot box, sat in your party
councils, served on your committees,
tpoken in your meetings, written
your defense for the press. suffered
with you in defeat and rejoiced with
you in victory, and I am now asking
as a candidate for the first time
your support.
When / announced as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
State Senator l assumed that the I'M
broken rule would be followed of al
lowing the county whose term it was
to furnish the candidate to indicate
its choice between its own citizens,
and for the other counties to indorse
that choice.
The Republicans of Muhlenburg
and Butler counties, with whom l
have conferred, assure me they want
to respect this rule of rotation in the
time hOnored way, but for reasons,
you must conjecture or my opponent
explain, he declines to agree to any
test of the sentiment of the Republi-
cans of our home county as to which
of us they would offer to the district
as their candidate for State Senator
have proposed to Mr.. Leach that
we submit our claims to our county
mass convention at Hartford in June,
which will certainly be composed of
Representative Republicans of Ohio
county, and that the one of us en-
dorsed then be offered to the dis
trict as Ohio county's candidate. l
will also agree to submit to any other
test of the sentiment of the Repub-
licans of Ohio county that he may
be willing to suggest.
No other candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for State Senator
in this district has ever been called
upon to sacrifice the time and incur
the expense of canvassing the entire
district, nor, so far as l know. has
any candidate ever before declined
TO consult the will and abide by the
result of his party in his home coun-
ty.
The right of all the Republicans of
the district to a full participation in
the selection of a candidate for
State Senator is in no way questioned
but because ii has been, in the whole
history of the district. the unbroken
rule to allow each county to deter
mine who should be its candidate,
because this rule once broken pro-
badly could never be reestablished
and because the salary of the office
does not justify the sacrifice of time
and expense necessary for close
canvass of the three counties. l be-
lieve my proposal to my opponent to
allow the Republicans of our home
who best know our merits
and fitness. to determine between
us, will appeal TO the spirit of fair
ness of the Republicans of the en-
tire district.

Playing Of Piano Brings Out Snake

hay ihs Va out oh0nos
Howard Harris.an employee of the
Daniel-Samuel Music Company. in
East Third Street, was given the
scare of his life shortly after s
O'Clock last night when, after he had
thrown open the top cover of a
piano which had been shipped from
Central City in the afternoon, and
started lingering the keys, the head
of a large black snake appeared over
the top of the piano. Harris Sc
cured a club and soon killed the
reptile.
The supposition is that the piano.
which was encased in an old box.
had been placed in the yard pre-
paratory to removing II to the
train. and that the snake crawled
into the box and thence to the top
of the piano. The noise caused the
reptile to crawl from its roomy
quarters. The snake after being
killed measured FIVE feet.
Considerable excitement was ere
ated when Mr., Harris jumped from
the piano and ran to the rear Of the
store. When he returned with the
club he was followed by every en-
ploye of the store. A few blows with
the club killed the snake. Pedes-
TRANS were startled for some time
afterwards at the sight of the snake
hanging Imply across the old box.
