Two Beauties Together.

Two Farmers, attired in eorduroys
and CATERS, were strolling through
a picture-gallery, where they looked,
and apparently felt, decidedly out of
place. But at last they brought up
before a picture which really seemed
to please them-a portrait of a love
ly girl with a particularly ugly bull
dog.
This is something nice. Dick"
said one.
What is it called?'
Dick referred to the catalog.
Beauty and the Beast he said.
The other man looked closer, at
the bulldog.

FALL FRESHENlNG is BEST
Arizona Expert Advises Having Major
ity Of Calves Dropped In Fall
Seours Easier to Control.

A new settler who wishes to start
in the dairy business asks when the
calves should be dropped. Prot G. w.
Barnes, farm adviser on live stock
service OF the University OF Arizona,
answers when there is a constant
demand for dairy products. 1t would
be advisable to have cows freshening
all during the year The majority OF
the calves should be dropped in the
fall. BY such an arrangement the
calves would not be bothered with
dies. and scours is easier to control
In the cool months; then by spring
they are large enough to go through
the hot months without slackening in
growth. Cows. when freshened in the
TALL, will increase their milk flow when

RIGHT PRECAUTIONS TO USE
In Case Of Outbreak Of Hog Cholera
Everything Should Be Done to
Prevent Spread Of Disease.

When cholera breaks out on the
farm, the dogs should be tied up--the
live stock should be shut out OF the
hog pen, and the wagon wheels should
be disinfected so as not to carry the
disease from this farm to the neigh
bors, or even to scatter the germs
along the road. The farmer should
not leave the infected pig pen without
a thorough dipping of his shoes, rub.
bers or rubber boots in a solution of
water and creolin Lime should be
scattered in the buildings which are
occupied by the sick pigs.
Every pig or hog that dies should
be buried at least four feet deep In
the ground or should be burned. A
small trench open at both ends and
covered with pieces of iron or with
piece OF hog fence will make a good
oven on which to burn all hogs that
die OF cholera.
The hog wallow should be elimin-
ated and hog bath tub made 10 take
its place. Fill IL with clean water
and put in a small amount OF coal tar
dip. The pigs can be fed wood or
coal ashes with little sulphur scat
tered over them.

POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER
May Be Kept in the Best Of
Condition.

A shining copper hot-water boiler
adds much to the appearance of a
kitchen, as all housekeepers know.
The boiler may be kept in a state Of
brilliancy by the use of a solution
OF oxalic acid and water Five cents
worth of the acid dissolved in
quart of warm water will last
through many cleaning days
Best results are obtained by apply
ing the solution to a warm boiler.
After one application of the solution
the boiler should be gone over with
a cloth wrung out in warm water
and then polished with a dry cloth.
The best part of the process is that
no elbow grease" is required. In
few minutes a dull dingy boiler be-
comes bright and shining with but
little effort
All copper articles not having a
lacquered surface may be cleaned
with this solution and IT also serves
as brass polish.
Keep in a safe place, as oxalic acid
is poison.

PERSONAL FACTOR IN DAIRY
Neoieets His Utensils viii Spoil
Output OF Hundred Good ones.
rBy MILLER PvRvIsl

II dairymen could be taught to think
Of the personal factor in the dairy
business, the quality OF the dairy
products Of this country would i'm
prove at once. The quality of the
products OF any given creamery or
butter factory depends on the quality
Of the poorest cream or milk that Is
received at that factory TO a consider
able extent.
II among the patrons there is ore
who neglects TO keep his milk things
clean. who fails to properly clean his
hand separator. who allows his milk
to absorb foul odors. the product Of
that farm will affect the products Of
all the well managed farms that sell
to the same factory.
One unclean dairy will spoil the pro-
duct of a hundred good ones. 1t would
seem that a law compelling unclean
dairymen to improve their methods is
the only solution

II the practice Of successful poultry

to advertise poultry products is to de

One successful poultryman offers
the following suggestion:
Have your poultry houses and runs
in full sight Of the road so that pas
sersby may see what you really have.
Invite customers to make an inspec-
ton tour Of the place. Show them
that you have the cleanest houses
and the most sanitary packing rooms
possible. Show them that you are
proud OF your flock and your ability
to give people the best OF everything
In order 70 gee customers you must
let people know which chickens and
eggs are yours. To do this you must
have a trademark which stands for
quality and your personal guaranty.

The meat is trimmed from the neck

DEMAND FOR WORKING MULES
Animals Wanted in
Every Market in country-Good
Grade Mares May Be Used.

Somehow OF other the demand for
working mules of good build and
weight stays as strong and as keen
in these last few years as ever. Three
year-old mules are wanted in every
horse and mule market in the country.
and in spite Of the increasing number
Of motor trucks and other lransporta-
ton methods, the market shows no In
clination to forget the mule.
As a side line on the 40, so or 100
acre farm you can't beat mule raising.
OF course the conditions have to be
favorable You have to have pretty
fair bunch Of mares, not too small and
Of fairly good conformation. There
should be a few good Jacks in the
neighborhood. and there usually are,
at least in riding distance. Good grade
mares and a pure bred jack make
about the right combination to finally
result in good money from the mules.
Where there are no good jacks in
the district, four or five or six men
can very easily club together and buy
a good animal. II they really want
TO go into the mule raising business 10
get all the profit coming to them
they will be able to get enough money
raised to get good Jack.
He should then be insured and given
the proper handling. BY the right kind
OF handling he can be made to be OF
service not only for the mares owned
by his owners, but he may be stood for
public service and made to earn his
keep in that way.
A mature jacks first year Of active
service ought to enable him to serve
something like sixty mares, and later
on he ought to be able to serve from
seventy-five to eighty without any diff
ficulty. In a few seasons the jack or
quality will be able to pay for himself
and make his own keep as we'll as
serving all the mares Of his owners.

MANY ADVANTAGES
IN THE INCUBATOR

Many farmers who have never used
an incubator, are thinking OF purchas-
ing one for the coming seasons work
The Incubator has many advantages
over the old way of Matching eggs.
II is possible to secure earlier chick
ems and to set eggs at any time, re-
gardless OF season or weather. II re-
qulres much less time and labor to
care for an incubator than It does to
care for hens enough TO hatch as
many eggs as will require the work of
20 hens. Then again, the incubator
brings the chicks into life free from
lice
The brooder, even In late spring, is
ahead of the old hen, trailing the
chicks through the wet grass, or II
she is cooped up, subjecting the chick
to depredations OF rats and other
enemies. Then again, early laying
hens may be broken of setting and
started to laying again, thus turning
the poultry house into continued
profit.
The amateur should practice with
the incubator a few days before put
ting in the eggs. and determine the
condition OF temperature and mois-
ture. Breed for fertile eggs and then
select as good eggs as would be used
