The Way of Instruction.

We were talking with Fielding H. yost. on hand for the football com 1nittee meeting, about the devious ways of sporting instruction.
 eff a man has something," said Yost, "you can improve it by instruc- tion But if he hasn't got it, no one can put it there."
 What do you consider we asked, "the most essential feature in a man for sporting success? Genius, knack, power, speed or what?"
 "The determination to make good" Y ost answered. "He may have every thing else, but unless he has this it will not be worth much. There is a certain knack or instinct in sport as there is in music or art. Some have this instinct and others haven't. It Is important, but not necessary if a man has the quality of determination to keep on trying"
New Britain herald., 1916-05-26
The Way Up.

"If a fellow" continued Yost, "isnt enough interested in a thing to plug along at it and to make sac rifices for success, he will never get very far. There are some people you can teach for forty years without them getting anywhere. The right sort of material doesn't need lot of coaching for it will get there any, how. But give me the fellow who Is determined to make good and I'll take a chance on the rest of it.

As a feeding proposition there is
none that gives better profits, consid

than fattening sheep in the eOrnfeld
where rape has been sowed at the last
cultivation OF the corn. The sheep
may be bought early, and pastured or
fed earlier sOiling crops until the rape
is fit for them TO be turned into the
cornfeld. The Dwarf Essex rape is
the variety best adapted for sheep pas
ture. About five or six pounds OF seed

JUDICTOUS SYSTEM
OF INTERCROPPING
Cultivated Orchard More Profit
able Than Neglected One
Filters Are Favored.

a cultivated orchard is more produc-
tive and consequently more profitable
than the average orchard which is neg
lected or in which grass or hay is
grown.
'In the young orchard a judicious
system of intercrOpping may be prac-
ticed without causing injury to the
trees and at the same time profitable
crops will be produced in the waste
space between the rows" says F. S.
Merrill of the Kansas State Agricul-
tura1 college. Sufficient space should
be left on each side Of the tree to per-
NIT thorough cultivation OF the tree
rows. AS a general rule, the roots Of
the tree extend beyond the outer ends
of the limbs. A strip may be left pro-
portionate in width to the spread Of
the branches.
"One Of the most familiar types Of
intercropping can be found In planting
filters between the permanent trees,
and often between the rows. The peach
or some type of early maturing apple
can be used for this purpose, but in
most cases the grower Will not remove
the filters until they have attained such
size as to have interfered with the
permanent trees"

COVERED TOP MILK
PAIL REC0MM ENDED
Many Farmers Have Never
Thought of Real Advantages
of That Kind.

By c. A. BURNS, Dairy Department.
Oklahoma A. and NJ. College, Still
Water-)
Those who are not accustomed to
using a covered top milk pail have
probably never stopped to think of
what real advantage such pail may
be in the production of clean milk.
By a covered top pail is meant a milk
pail so constructed that it has only a
small opening in the top, the rest of
the top being covered with metal of
which the pail is made.
The object of such a pail is that of
preventing dirt and hair from falling
into the milk. AS the old saying goes,
'An ounce OF prevention is worth a
pound of cure" This is surely one
place where the saying holds true.
Dirt and hair mean bacteria in the
milk, and bacteria cannot be strained
or filtered out. Bacteria are always
more or less injurious to the quality
Of the milk and to all milk products.
This means a lower price for the milk,
and eventually a lower price for the
milk products. But this is not all.
Dirty. bacteria-laden milk products
oftentimes are quite injurious to
health, and especially the health Of
children.
OF course a great deal depends upon
the mixer as to whether or not the
milk is clean or dirty, but under aver
age conditions, other factors being
similar. a covered milk pail with an
opening six inches In diameter stands
only one chance in four Of catching q
hair or other foreign material that a
pail II inches in diameter would. In
other words, a pail with a sixinch
diameter viii catch only about one
fourth as much dirt and hair as a pail
with 8 Pinch diameter.

worked speedy transformation In the
market. It placed Wisconsin, Illinois
and other states on the dairy map and
opened up the channels Of export to
their cheese and butter. Later came
the cream separator, which was great
factor in the development of the dairy
business. Since that time dairying has
been growing very rapidly.
Points for the Dairyman.
Any man to make success in the
these points:
l. Strict regularity in feeding and
milking.
2. Good permanent pastures.
8. AT least one siIo for winter feed
ing and one with smaller capacity for
summer feeding.
4. Cows that will give at least 1000
pounds of milk or 200 pounds of butter
in a year.
5. Plenty of roughage; and when
pastures fail some concentrates, as cot
| tonseed meal and gluten feeds.
6. Pure water. High producing cows
must have large quantities of water. 1t
is well said that it is cheaper to warm
ice cold water with q tank heater than
| to allow the COW to warm it with so
| cent corn. The water tank should be
in a coy, sheltered, sunny place.
| z. Clean and well ventilated barns
and healthy cows. Dark, damp. steamy,
poorly ventilated barns are ideal places
| for the development and spread of
| tuberculosis. Remedy: L. Test the
cows with the tuberculin test 2 Cut
new windows and let in an abundance
Of sunlight. 8. Provide proper ventila-
ton.
| s. Quietness and kindness. Loud
talking, swearing and rough handling
are not permitted in a well-managed
dairy.
The average dairy COW of this coun
try produces something like $500
pounds of milk in a year and approx
mately $50 to 100 pounds of butterfat

By 8. 7. SIMPSON. Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
'FUse purebred SireS,' is the slogan
by workers at the Missouri college of
agriculture as a partial reply to stock
mems questions as to how they can
make profits on increasingly expensive
land, labor and stock and efficiency OF
the methods used must be correspond
ingly improved if the live stock indus

The slogan of the purebred sire is
being sounded by Dean F. B. Mumford
and others of the agricultural expert
ment station and college in the field
and feed lot, from the chautauqua
platform and on farm to farm trips
through various counties.
For use in these campaigns a ''red-
headed" poster bulletin has been print
ed. That head says in red type, Use
Purebred Sires," and beneath this head
are brief statements of the careful
tests of the experiment station and
the common experience of Missouri
farmers which agree absolutely on this
point. The station got much bigger
profits by using a fair purebred NUT
ton ram such as any farm sheep-raiser
could afford instead of q scrub ram.
They were used on western ewes
which were equally good so far as the
best judges could tell. From such a
eve the fairly good purebred mutton
ram got q good lamb which weighed
60 pounds and sold for $7.35 when
three months old, but the scrub ram
got from q similar eve a moor lamb
which weighed SO pounds and sold for
$3.50 when four months old. Fletcher

Bulletin No. sc of the Storrs agri-
cultural experiment station on the sub
ject, "Some Lice and Mites on the
Hen" by Lamson and Manter, places
emphasis on the following points:
That there is much confusion re-
garding the relative harmful effects Of
the lice and mites owing to the fact
that the lice are more easily seen, with
the result that they are often accused
Of causing injury actually done by
mites
That the lice can be easily con-
troIled by the use OF blue ointment
rubbed on the hen
That carbolenium or one Of the coal
tar products will kill or repel the
mites if applied once a year by the
right method to the roOsts-
That caraway oil proves the best
control measure for the scaIy leg

This is not profitable dairying. Yet
farmers cannot greatly increase dairy
production unless they apply the scales
and BabcOck test to their individual
cows and find out the cows that pay
for their feed and those which do not.
The cooperative cOw-teSting assOcia-
ton enables all the dairy farmers of a
community to test all their cows. With
an average of % members the cost of
such an association usually amounts
to 81 to $3.50 per COW per year.
Benefit of the Cow estinq Associa-
ton.
According to Iowa bulletin No. Is
1850 yearly records from III different
dairy herds have been completed in the
five cow-testing associations in Iowa
which have been organized in the state
since 1909.
The average COW in the testing asso-
cations produced 217 pounds of butter
fat per year at a net profit of $32.77,
after paying for the feed at market
prices less the cost of hauling.
If the 100000 milk cows of Iowa
produced as much butterfat per year
as the average COW in the cow-teSting
associations, it would mean an in
creased production for the state of
us, 100000 pounds of butterfat per
year, worth, at 30 cents per pound
34,65O,OOO.
The most profitable COW returned
her owner a net profit of $125, while
the poorest cow lacked 1882 OF pay
| ing for her feed.
The cow-testing association is the
best method of detecting the loafers in
the herd. It puts dairying on a bust
ness basis, arOuses the interest of the
owner, his boys and hired man in the
COWS, stirs up local pride by bringing
the people of the community together
to talk over their business and helps
to make farm work enjoyable and in
teresting.
Some people think that it is a hard
| job to milk COWS and care for stock
but we will find it just the opposite II
we will take an interest in the work
and get our heads in the game. All
work is drudgery unless we like it
put the best we have into it, and use

dairy products as a source of income
to the farmers of the nation.
Neither. the production of butter nor
cheese has kept up with the increase of
population. In 1910 there were 90
625,O00 dairy COWS in the United
States, an increase of about 10000 900

RING WORM IS EASILY CURED

Ring worm appears most commonly
in cattle as a round, slightly raised,
bald patch, being seen especially about
the head and neck of a calf or year
ling. Older cattle, other animals and
men are subject to the trouble 1t is
caused by minute vegetable parasites
which grow under the skin, something
like mildew in a grape leaf.
Ring worm can be rather easily
cured by giving the spots a good
scrubbing with soft soap and water,
then treating them once each day with
equal parts of tincture of iodine and

may be continued for several days,
as appears necessary.

It is truly said that the cow is mans

droughts and floods may come, destroy
our crops and Danish our hopes, but,
from what is left, the COW manufac-

For 1000 years she has shown her
allegiance to man, sharing alike in his
prosperity and adversely, responding
to all that was done for her, until
through her development she has be-
come indispensable as an economic fac
tor in our national progress.

a Cow Makes Farm Worth More.
There is always an air of perma-
nence and prosperity about a welI-man-
aged dairy farm.
A man feels independent when he
knows his income is steady. The dairy
business is a cash business. It calls
for intellectual activity. The success
of the man engaged in it depends upon
his using his head, developing his judg-
ment.
Dairyfng builds up the farm. It re
Quires fewer acres to produce a good
living, and consequently leads to closer
neighbors and more thickly-settIed
communities.
