One of the incentives for eradication
of cattle ticks in Florida is to save
the great waste OF feed which, under
administration conditions, is required
for blood to support them.
Even where the cattle Craze on the
open range, which the owners figure
is not an expense, ii Is moneylosing
proposition to permit the ticks to exist,
owing to the lessened value of the
tick.infested cattle when they are sold.
Another incentive for eradication
of cattle ticks which progressive cat
tie owners recognize, is the necessity
for using better bulls than our range
herds contain, TO breed up the size
of future generations and also breed
better quality into the beef animals
The maximum weight for mature
piney woods steer is about 600 pounds,
but in tick.free states where attention
is given TO breeding, 1t is quite com.
mon to see twoyear.old steers aver.
aging l.4OO pounds and better.
Low Price For Small Cattle.
Florida has range enough TO grow
as many large cattle as small ones,
so the State at large Is losing several
millions of dollars a year, for the
larger cattle also command a much
higher price per pound than the small,
ticky stuff.
Within the last few weeks several
hundred head Of three.year-old steers
averaging AIS pounds were shipped
out of Central Florida TO St Louis,
and the market report as published in
one of the 81. Louis daily papers re.
ferred TO the receipts as common
Southern trash" quoted around $500
per 100 pounds.
The same market report quoted
Texas and Oklahoma grass steers at
$3.50 to IS. so per 100 pounds. They
averaged over one thousand pounds,
so the owners Of the larger CRASHED
steers received at least S75 per head
for their stock, while the little Flor
ida steers which took a heavy shrink

gineerng extension department or
Iowa State College. Because of this
strong effect upon interior lighting.
all windows should be kept scrupulouS-
ly clean.
For cleaning windows, either dry or
liquid cleaners are good. Dry cleaners
have the disadvantage that when they
are rubbed off, the dust flies about and
settles on things. Liquid cleaners CON
sist of clear water or water mixed with
washing soda, ammonia, kerosene or al
cohol Kerosene or alcohol may be
used alone. -.
The chief precautions necessary IN
using liquid cleaner is not to get SO
much liquid on the glass that 1t VIII
run and cause streaks. A chamios is.
best to polish window after dirt has
been removed, as it will cause no lint.
Alcohol or turpentine will soften the
paint and varnish of the frame work,
however.
So important does the engineering
extension department deem this ques-
ton of windows, that it will be taken
up in the short courses for janitors TO
be given at various places over the
state next winter.

Good Blood Will Pay Well


There's a grade Guernsey COW on the
dairy farm at Iowa State College that
as two year old. fresh for the tlrst
time produced 6.O7S5.5 pounds OF milk
and 31O.95 pounds of cream, while heI
dam in three years averaged but 2,oz|.o
pounds of milk and 1918 pounds OF
cream, and at her best produced but
3,O28.6 pounds of milk and l49.9a
pounds of cream. The daughter thus
gave 1O1 percent more milk and lol
percent more cream than the dam at
her best, and 131 percent more milk
and 1876 percent more cream than the
average dam.
The dam was one of the scrub cows
brought from Arkansas in 1907 by the
department of dairy husbandry to be
used in a feeding and breeding expert
ment to determine whether feed, care
and pure blood could increase the pro-
duction of the herd. The daughter was
sired by the pure bred Guernsey bull
at the head of the college Guernsey
herd. The dam was but a calf when
brought to Ames, so she had all her
life the same care as her daughter.
1t was the pure bred sire that made
the increase. The story OF these two
COWS and the rest of the herd brought
from Arkansas has just been told for
the first time in bulletin No. 165, re-
Gently issued by the Iowa experiment

Farm Garden
Drink Cold ButtermiIk.

Buttermilk makes a cooling drink for
summer time, says the home economics
department at Iowa State College, be-
cause it does not contain producing fat.
Buttermilk may be prepared from
skimmilk or from whole milk by the
use of bacteria, by heating it to $50
degrees for 80 minutes, cooling it to 20
degrees and then adding commercial
ly prepared culture of bacteria. After
standing from "a to 48 hours, the work
of the bacteria causes the acidity OF
the milk to increase. When the de-
sired acidity is reached, the milk Is
placed in churn and agitated until
perfectly smooth. 1t is then cooled to
a low temperature and it is ready for
use.
Commercially prepared buttermilk
tablets for producing the acid forming
bacteria may be obtained for home use.
When used. they are crushed to a
powder and added to the milk. The
process is as desired with the bacteria
culture.

Has One Support of Entire Nation.

Americas greatest automobile out

a place on the cards of Dame Fortune.
No movement furthered in the inter-
ests of automobile touring has ever
eripped the nation as this project 10
speed a quarter of million owners or
motor cars to discover the charm and
10y of the open on August 8. a..
Motor carowners are overhaullng
the old car, or investing in new one.
preparatory to setting forth on a little
Columbus expedition directed toward
the scenic beauty and wonder OF Amer Amer:
lea. II a. 49, r. -.. . ~h tt&}&
Seeing America First has been re-
vamped to chant "See America First
by Seeing Your Own State Now."Tle,
motorist of this country have been
awakened to the new understanding
that Scenic America comedies pres
tige to no scenic beauty in the world.
Moreover, they have reached the real
ization that Scenic America is not
thousand miles away, but in reality
lies Just over the hill, or at least not
far from the horizon that bounds the
vista of ones garage.
That scenic beauty and. natures
wonderland hide within every state,
is the sermon being preached by Nat
ional Touring Week. The motorist has
but to set forth in his car and get OIL
the beaten trail few stages to find
the spell of seguestered living and the
charm of Natures artistry. Nature is
prodigal with her charms One need
not travel far to find those hooks IN
the woodland, those waterfalls OF the
glen, and the fascination Of dolce far
niente.
Makers of automobiles have sprung
to the support of National Touring
Week with an enthusiasm little short
of revival meeting. With unanimous
accord, they have acclaimed National
Touring Week red letter event, and
have added the reminder that vaca-
ton motoring tour will be more joyous
with new Car.
"Buy Your New Car Now is the
second slogan National Touring Week
has fathered.
