BREEDING ONLY BEST CATTLE
Counterfeit Dairy Cow Has No Place
on Pasture or In Feed Ward
Discard Poor Producers

(By ROUD MCANN, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
The development OF the increasing
demand for well-bred dairy cattle -
based upon the recognition OF the fact
that under present production condi-
tons, the counterfeit dairy COW has
no place on the pasture or In the feed
yard.
During the past few years difficulty
OF replenishing and starting herds
with good animals has confronted the
dairy farmer at every turn. High
feed bills have demonstrated the fu-
tility OF expecting satisfactory returns
when keeping poor producers, and the
wideawake. progressive, businesslike
dairymen are centering their demands
on merit, OF which there must be a
greater supply to meet this demand.
Foreign competition has created n
we'll grounded impression that the
most effective way OF evadlng Il Is
by greater production per animal and
better products.

the bones of the joints and limbs, and
fractures OF leg bones are not uncom-

excess Of vegetable matter. The ten
dency to the disease is hereditary and
most likely to be seen in closely in
bred hogs or those of herds kept
under insanitary conditions and long
imperfectly nourished upon unbal-

OF corn to generation after generation
doubtless induces q weakness OF con-

In striking contrast is the situation

Work in Sioux City Schools.
Sioux City, Sept 9.--Dressmaking
and millinery will be introduced as
sophomore courses in the high school
this year.
Superintendent NJ q. Clark an
nounced yesterday that the additional
course would be open to the pupils who
had taken the domestic art work Of the
sixth. seventh and eighth grades, and
that because this was the first year
of operation Of the course pupils in
the Junior and senior year would be
privileged to. elect the course In addf-
ton to other studies.
The opening work in this course will
be devoted to theory. One hour each
week the class members will be given
instructions in textiles, their use and
adaptibility for various forms Of cloth
ing The pupils will be told how to
detect fabrics that will wash. how to
pick out cloths that will fade or
shrink.
The immediate object Of this drill In
theory will be to make the pupil an in
telligent shopper.
The theory work will go into such
details as the spinning and weaving OF
the various fibers, and this will lead
logically to the class work in buying
Arrangements will be made for peri
odical visits to the stores. Permission
will be obtained to examine the goods
taken down from the shelves and to
appraise the values.
Hygienic clothing. the care and re-
pair of clothing. the history of cos
tuning and the economics Of dress
will be other features discussed in the
theory section.
In the practical work Of the class the
pupils will receive drilling in the use
of patterns. the cutting Of costumes
and tailoring. This will lead to the
work of making one set of garments by
each pupil.
In the millinery division similar
drilling In theory will be had. Near
the close of the work the pupils will
make hats suitable for spring, sum
mer, fall and winter wear.
Besides this work. the classes will
be drilled in embroidery and In fancy
