Improving the Dairy Heard.

Careful selection, intelligent breed
ing, and skillful management are
fundamental in the profitable upbuild-
ing of the dairy herd BY the use of
economy and good judgment the i'm
provement of herd need not be ex-
pensive.
Careful selection is the first step i'm
the building UP Of a dairy herd.>>Se-
lection naturally begins with the elm
nation of all low producers Every
owner of dairy COWS should establish
definite standard, and all cows that
do not measure up to the require
ments should be rejected. One hum
dred and fifty pounds of butterfat a
year is fair minimum for most To-
calities. Whether a cow is to be re-
Jected or retained should depend or
dinarily on production as shown by
the Babcock tesc and thel elscales. Only
the best heifer calves from the most
productive cows should be raised.
Farmers who are too busy to test
their own cows may now have this
work done for them at a nominal cost
by joining cow-testing association.
cow-testing association is an organ
iZation of about 26 dairy farmers
who employ comparatively a man to
test their COWS for ecOonmical produc-
ton.
The bull is half the herd. If he
is prepotent, as all good bulls are, he
is much more than half the herd. The
prre-bred bull, all Of whose ancestors
for several generations were first
class individuals, stands very little
| chance of transmitting the qualities
OF some inferior remote ancestor. In
the dairy record center at Farmers
Union, Ontario. there were IA herds
of grade cattle Seven of these herds
comprising 50 COWS, had always used
grade sires. The other seven. COM
prising S4 cows, had used pure-bred
slres FOR many years. At creamery
prices for milk, one Years record
showed a balance of $31.51 per cow in
favor of the seven herds that had used
pure-b bred siree
The owner large herd of
grade cows can well afford to own a
frst-class bull, and bull associations
are now making it possible for the
owner of small herd to own a share
in good, weli-bred bull. A COOPER
ative bull association is q farmers
organization the chief purpose of
which is the joint ownership, use, and
exchange of high-class, pure-bred
bulls. If skillfully managed, these
associations should be eventually the
greatest single fc.ctor in the upbuild-
ing of our dairy herds.
To build up a valuable and profit
able dairy herd, careful and intelli-
sent management must be combined
with selection and breeding. Ill treat
ment and insr ficiency or unsuitable
feed have made many a well-bred and
carefully selected herd Improbable.
All COWS should be we'll bred and
well fed. 1t never pays to keep
COW that does not pay a fair return
for lrst-class feed and care.

WONDERS OF WAR SURGERY
There Have Been as Great Advances
IN surgery and Medical Practice as
In Other Branches OF Warfare.

Behind British Lfnks in France
oct. 3l.-(Correspondence of The AS.
sociated Press)-The American doc
tors who are now at work in various
parts of the British front find that
army surgery has advanced Just as
rapidly since the beginning of the
war as any other branch of wars ac-
tivities. In the early days Of the war
wounds were OF an average gravity
far beyond that expected from the ex-
perience of previous wars, while te-
tanus, gas-gangrene and severe sup
purauon, were general and hundreds
died OF comparatively trivial injuries
for lack of early and adequate treat
nent.
This situation has now been alter
ed almost beyond recognition. Serum
treatment has almost done away
Wit. tetanus, while earlier and more
energetic surgical treatment has large
ly defeated gangrene. More and more
OF the major surgical work is being
carried out in the casualty clearing
stations, and some of the most ia
nous Of the American surgeons have
spent most Of their time since their
arrival. in advanced hospitals within
sound of the German guns.
The key to the whole improvement
In surgical results has been the
pushing of the surgeon nearer and
nearer to the fighting lines The ene-
my has endeavored to counter this by
persistent bombing of the advanced
hospitals, but the saving of life is
more than worth the loss of life, and
suitable defensive measures are be-
ing taken.
The doctor, as distinguished from
the surgeon, has also accomplished
wonders in this war. The small NOR
tality from disease in the British
and French armies is due to his con-
slant vigilance. His two great weap-
ons have been sanitation and prophy-
Tactic incubation. In a scene of un-
paralleled confusion and i'm an area
OF quite primitive sanitation, his ex-
ertions have resulted in an astonish-
ing degree of sanitary efficiency. Re-
fuse is destroyed or deeply buried;
battlefields in many cases are clean
ed up within few days; pure water
supplies are provided. Everywhere be-
hind the immediate front, order and
cleanliness are the rule.
The rule of the Army Medical Of
iicer is not always welcomed by the
but 1t works with magni-
ficent success, until camps and towns.
which in previous wars would have
been death traps. have q mortality as
low as the most approved health re.
sort. The routine work of these med
ical officers has probably saved more
lives than all the other medical WORK
of the war.
Preventive inoculation has robbed
typhoid and dysentery of their ter.
rors. although in all previous wars
these two causes were responsible for
far more deaths than shells and bull
let's.

GIVE US THE FACTS!

Our governments decision not to issue
a white book, showing the extent of Ger
man intrigue in this country, is deeply to
be regretted. Though the American press
is willing to assume a volunteer censorship
for the good of the country, arbitrary
action like this is a different matter. The
American people don't deserve to betreated
like the senate Either they have been told
too little or they have been told too much.
AS long as relations were maintained
between Germany and the United States,
such publication could, of course, not be
made But this consideration can no
longer be urged, and after two years of in
trigue, propaganda and destruction OF
property, eliminating in the attempted
racial alliance against the United States,
the people have right to know the full
truth.
They are willing to take on trust the
arming and the defense of American yes
sells in accordance with the traditions OF
American history-though it is difficult
to see how there could be any military
value in anything except the sailing date
and the route be followed-but the time
has come for them to learn more about the
developments that have led up to the
present situation.

LLOYD GEORGE WAS
TALKING ABOUT u.s..
WHEN BREAK CAME

Camarvon, Wales, March 16.-
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)-The news that the United
States had broken off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany was delivered
to Premier Lloyd George while he
was making his notable address to
his constituents in the great Carnar-
Won Pavilion. The telegram, sent by
the premier's secretary in London,
was brought to the platform and laid
on the table in front of Mr.. Lloyd
George just as he was saying:
81 must again call attention to the
great and growing menace of Ger
many's piratical devices. l want the
nation to realize what this latest
move of Germany really portends. 1t
is an advance along the road to COM
plete barbarism. 1t is the casting off
of the last garment of civilization.
The Goth in his native savagery must
now stand revealed to the most in
duIgent neutral. Henceforth he will
respect no flag except the black flag.
"The enemy has made a gracious
offer to the Republic of the West to
permit a passenger steamer to run
once a week if it bars the marks of
a Dutch paddle steamer. Was there
ever such insolence? 1t amounts al
most to insanity"
During the applause which followed
this passage, the premier glanced
down with trace of uneasiness at
the reddish-brown envelope which
had just been laid on the table at
his left hand, but he made no move
to open it, continuing his speech for
about a half hour longer.
AS he resumed his seat behind the
chairman of the meeting, he tore open
the envelop with some eagerness and
read the brief message twice over
with slight frown. Then he handed
it to Neil Primrose, who as his party
leader or whip" in the house of COM
mons, sat with him on the platform
For perhaps a minute or two, while
the audience was singing a Welsh
hymn, Lloyd George and Primrose
talked earnestly. 1t seemed as if
they were discussing whether the con-
tents of the envelope should be an
nounced to the meeting. If so, the
decision was in the negative.
