Raise Heifer Calves.

Ihis country suhers an enormous
economic loss every year because
thoughtless men, almost greedy
for milk to sell, begrudge the small
amount necessary to give the calf
q start and therefore hasten it to
slaughter as soon as, if not sooner
than, the law permits. That may
be-. and probably is, the time to
secure greatest profit from grade
dairy bull calves, and many beef
bred ones, too; but not from dairy
bred heifers.
1t is safe to assume that those
who veal heifer calves are the ones
who milk common cows, refuse to.
belong to testing associations, use
scrub bulls and frequently ask the
question, Where can good, prof.
table cows be securedl"
Every man who milks COWS can
breed better than he can buy.
How shortsighted are they who do
not realize that of all manufacture
ers on the face of the earth, the
dairy farmer, as a class, is the
greatest. They are the ones who
manufacture the truth in mind, a
very evident fact becomes appar-

manufactured on every farm in
America. That is the only certain,
economical way to get good cows.
So scarce are real. highly produc-
tive cows that the man who owns
one or more of them and knows
that he owns them will not sell his
best. He is glad to get rid of his
poor cows, but not the good ones.
And, just fairly good COW costs a
lot of money nowadays.
The formula for making good
cows is not complicated. The first
step is to use pure bred sire. He
may cost a few more dollars than
mopgrel, but those few dollars
represent an investment. not an
expense. The second step is to
raise the calves well. They will
require warm whole milk for two
or three weeks. but then they can
be gradually changed to skim milk
and calf meal and kept growing if
fed regularly. even if economical.

Park Community Center.

Park Community Center.
At the community center held at
Park school on Friday evening under
the auspices OF Park Parent Teachers
association, a packed house greeted
Governor Alexander, applauding his
attitude toward the organization. He
illustrated the indifference of the Boise

One business man had never heard of
Park school, but thought it was some
where among the foothills.
The speaker cited the public schools
as the bulwark of our liberties, the
foundation Of d democracy that guar
anteed to all equality Of privilege and
opportunity and said it behooved US
as a people to pay more attention to
and get better acquainted with an in
stitution which was molding our chill
dren into an efficient citizenship for
perpetuating our liberties and rights

dependence.
The parent who had one or more
children in the public school-he said
and was not enough interested in that
teacher and school where his child at

ent-Teachers association concerned
with the welfare Of that child, was not
only a poor speeiman of parent but
also poor type Of citizen and patriot
and he advised the association to stay
on the job until they had brought into

out into the highways and byways and

nowadays, is still found in this vi
