purebred bull. The small farmer with
n or two cows gains, however, Just
as much In proportion by breeding
them to q purebred instead Of q scrub,
and the gain Is even more important
to him. For this al the depart
ment Is now encouraging the forma-
ton OF v stock associations and bull
clubs in which Q number of farmers
unite in h purchase of q bull. The
county agents and special demonstra-
tors are also urging upon farmers in
the areas recently freed from the
ticks the following plan for getting a
start in the live stock industry: .
l. Get Bermuda grass started ON all
pastures. Improve the pastures further
by sowing some lespedeza and bur
clover on the uplands and some alsike
clover or white clover on III bottom
lands.
2. Grow more hay and other forage
on which to winter the stock: or erect
a silo II o have as many as 10 dairy
cattle or 20 beef cattle.
3. Bring in good bulls to use for
grading ZIP the native cattle. Do not
try to raise ~purebreds to begin with.
4. If not able to buy q bull for indi-
vidual use, form a bull club.
5. Form a community club or county
live stock association SO that members
may exchange bulls every two years
and thus obtain the maximum service
from a bull without breeding him to
his w offspring.
6. Heifers OF the beef breeds should
no drop calves until they are thirty
months old.
z. Breed all beef cows so as to calve
during February, March and April.
s. Breed all dairy cows so as to
| calve in the fall.
9. Wean the beef calves in the fall.
J Give them plenty of good, bright hay.
silage if available, and about one pound
of ~cottonseed meal per day for the first
month. After that they can be win
tered on the roughage produced ON the
place and a little concentrate.
10. The breeding stock in the beef
herd may be given the run OF the stalk
fields until the middle Of winter and
then fed on roughage. AS the cows
will be carrying calves, they should
be kept in a thrifty condition.
II. II possible, dip all of the stock
each spring and fall to keep them
free Of lice and to put their skin in
good condition.
IL. Never keep q grade bull for a
sire II a purebred one can be secured.

Be NEIGHBORLY

We Should "cIean Up and Paint Up"
This Community at Once to
Protect Our Families.

NEIGHBORHOOD improvement is
~ home improvement multiplied. 1t
is the sum Of all the efforts made to
make houses look attractive and beau
ftiful.
Neighborhood improvement Illus
trates the influence of a good deed
well done. On a dingy street N
householder starts tt improve the ap-
lpearance Of his home. He keeps yard
and house spick and span. He paints
his house, fences and outbuild1ngs. He
plants grass, flowers and shrubbery.
Soon his neighbors notice the i'm
Iprovement- They begin to clean up,
paint up and rec up. Within q few
It not only looks better. but 1t IN
better. People r happier and more
1eighborly. Property values have in
creased. Neighborhood improvement
has worked a before and after"
change that is really wonderful.

In q certain western town one of thu
residence streets with q row of about
Hafteen houses was the shame of all
the public-spirited citizens. Houses
were greatly In need of repairs and
looking n every year. Finally one
of the good citizens got an idea. He
went to the wner of the house In the
middle Of the block.
Il want to make you a proposition"
he said. IF you will permit me I will
give you. without cost. all the paint
necessary to paint your house If you
will do the work."
The owner accepted the proposition
and later the paint was delivered. The
philanthropist exacted the promise
that the owner would not tell any OF
his neighbors that the paint was .
gift
In the course Of time the house was
painted and the effect was marvellous
to behold. Like a new house It stood
among It's dingy neighbors Is conspi-
'cuous as a fairy in a minstrel show.
The owners Of the other houses no
ticed the contrast They saw how
miserably poor the newly painted
house made theirs look. One after
the other they went to the stores and
ordered paint During that season ev-
cry one Of the fifteen houses was
painted and the premises cleaned and
the street became n Of the best look
ing in town.
That is what was accomplished
when one man started to improve his
home. II whole neighborhoods, street
by street, should start to improve In
our town what a tremendous difference
1t would make In the appearance oil

Judge Jones said that corporal punish

Time To Spray The Home Orchard.

One Of the most important sprayings Of
fruit trees is at the time of the falling Of
the petals. This spraying is particularly
for the coddling moth. leaf spot. etc. The
cost Of spraying material has advanced so
that in some cases the present price is
practically prohibitive. This is especially
true of copper sulphate. now retailing at
35 cents roundabout 400 per cent
advance over normal prices.
For this reason the making Of Bordeaux
Mixture on the farm will be very expen-
sive. Several commercial substitutes are
on the market, which are quite satisfactory.
Pyrox is one. and your local dealer may
have others. For some reason the price of
these has not advanced materially. Most,
II not all. Of these preparations contain
arsenate Of lead, and ore to be used &C.
cording to directions on the package. I'm
der the circumstances il may be advisable
20 use one Of these instead Of the regular
Bordeaux.
For apples and pears only. very cheap
and effective spray may be made as fol-
lows: To one barrel ESQ eallons) Of water
add i-2 gallons Of concentrated lime-sul-
phur solution (the same as was used for
winter spraying. Add one pound Of pow.
dered arsenste Of lead. or two pounds Of
the paste form. This should not be used
any stronger than stated. and on no fruit
except apples and pears.
For best results, the orchards should be
watched and no trees sprayed until al
least rs per cent Of the petals have fallen.
