to that of the larger breeds. 1t is
generally believed that so-called beef
breeds are better for beef production
than dairy breeds or scrubs. A COM
parison of breeds at several expert
ment stations showed no constant diff

beef breeds. The comparison in MIS-

The Aberdeen-Angus originated in
Scotland and was first brought to the
United States in 1873. They are raised
extensively in Iowa and Illinois and
many other of the central states, and
are rapidly growing in popularity in
every section. Large numbers of this
breed are being raised in Argentina.
By some breeders they are not consid-
cred to be as well adapted to range
conditions as some other of the beef
breeds, however They are but slight

COL MacLennan declared that he
believed there should be some sort of

they should be Disseminated against,

How Enemy MICROBES Attack the HUMAN BODY

OF science that they are the chief fac.

Plants, as everyone knows, take
carbon from the carbonic.acid gas
found In the atmosphere, turn it into
starch, cellulose, sugars, and oils,
and thereby store up energy.
When the plant Is eaten By an
animal. 1t furnishes the eater with
glycogen and fats, which are in their
turn converted into muscular work.
The energy thus put at the dis.
posal OF living beings comes in the
first instance from the sun, but 1t
is made available largely by means
of microbes.
Microbes prepare the soil for syege.

We absorb with cereal food.
They even help to break up rocks,
and thus to produce earth that can

digestion.
