Professor Sheppard.
The state grows enough screenings,
bran, shorts and barley to fatten all
the beef stock which should go to
market each year." Mr.. Sheppard
quoted from bulletins 20 and 33 of the
North Dakota Experiment station pub
lished nineteen and twenty years ago,
giving evidence Of the quantities of
these wheat by-products grown, also
giving the results of trials in fatten-
ing sheep and cattle on by-products
and barley, which set forth the FEAST
bility of their use for this purpose.

er. ut was pointed out that at the
International Livestock exposition,
where the state fair winners Of the
United States and Canada meet each
December that for the last three con-
corn had won the grand champion

Mr.. Sheppard laid emphasis on the
point that we need most of all good
stockmen. He said, "If you are in
doubt about whether you are a stock
man or not step out into the barn
yard when you go home and see what
happens. If the cattle hurry out of
your way, If the pigs run from you
and If the colts shy when you draw
near-you're not a stockman. But if
you find a calf licking your coat, a
cold wiggling his lips on your should
err and feeling something Juggling at
the toe of your boot, look down to
find a fat shoat gnawing it why
you're a stockman and they know
it."
He quoted many trite stockmen say
ings. Among them: "a sheep never
dies in debt to you" "A young animal
will soon grow to the value of an over
price, while an old one is on the down
hill road" You can buy yourself into
such hole that you can never feed
yourself out" "a scrub steer never
topped the market"
He laid heavy emphasis upon the
necessity of studying markets and
market values and closed his address
with the remark that pasture Is avail
able to treble our stock population, we
can grow the roughage, we grow bran,
shorts. screenings, corn and barley en-
ough to finish the meat stock which the
pastures will produce and If we will
learn to feed and manage, buy and

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared sfampoos contain too. much al
kali, which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut Oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonfuI is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance OF rich, creamy lather, cleanses

hair dries quickly and evenly, and is

and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens

or satin and straw are giving place to
those of all-straw. Crepe and straw
combinations are very good style.
Sometimes the crepe is used for the
crowns of the small high-crowned tur-
bans with a little straw around the
narrow brims, or else it is used for the
brims of the wide sailors which have
crowns of straw.
Very high crowned and almost
brimless are some of the most popular
shapes, but the picturesque, wide
brimmed styles and fancy shapes are
also being worn.
Hats are not heavily trimmed this
season. A beaded ornament, or flowers
worked in worsted or chenille, and
placed in front, often take all the re-
sponsibility of trimming. Feather fam
cies and narrow velvet or picot-edged
ribbon arranged around the crown

most part, all-gray is generally fav-
ored but touch of light blue or coral

Another color we see more and more
of is the dull gold. Suits, dresses
separate waists and skirts alike claim
it as their own. Very popular, too, are
the mustard and citron shades. When
used in combination with any other
coler, navy blue or black is usually
chosen to be the companion of gold
Both navy and black, but navy in par

Some Results of Cow Testing

We do not want to accept new ideas
in farming unless they can be shown
to be profitable. Below are some IL
Illustrations showing what results other
people have had with cow testing. Last
year "Hoard's Dairyman" collected
statistics from some 16,7OO COWS test
ed through At Wisconsin cow testing
association. Out of these 49, 700 cows,
1875 were disposed of as Improbable.
A Nebraska farmer joined a cow
testing association. He had II cows,
and when the records began to show
up things he decided that seven of his
cows were no good; they were losing
money for him, so he sold them. That
he was wise was shown by the fact
that he afterwards gained more profit
from the 10 remaining cows than ne
formerly did from the whole II.
William Wright Of Fergus Falls,
Minnesota, sold a grade Holstein COW
for 1925. What enabled Mr.. Wright
to get such price for the COW was
that he kept acomplete record OF the
product of his herd and could show the
record the cow made. The buyer
knew what he was getting. He also
sold a number of other cows for high
prices just on that account.
"a Little Brown Cow"
You can't tell by the looks of COW
how much she will give. A new men,
Der of cow testing association offer
ed little brown cow for SALE He ask
ed $50 for her. The man thought $50
too much but noticed a nice black and
white cow in the herd for which he
was willing to pay $75. The owner
refused to sell her and so both cows
were kept. The record at the end OF
the year showed the following COM
parsons between these two cows:
Little Brown Cow-Milk, 1888; Test
So; Fat, 333tbs.; Profit, $4s.
Black and White Cow-Milk, 1886;
Test "a; Fat LAT lbs; Profit, 3S cents.
Now the nice black and white cow
is for sale at $50 and the brown COW
will not leave the barn for less than
$1OO. There are many similar in
stances but they are not found out I'M
til we weigh and test.
If we keep records, many COWS that
we thought profitable would turn out
Improbable and many that we
thought Improbable would be profit
able. There are many little Brown
Cows" and nice Black and White
cows in Minnesota dairy herds. Type
tells us what a cow ought to do but
the milk scales and test tell US what
she really does.

Two Ways of Doing 1t.


There are two ways by which farm
ers may discover improbable cows.
The farmers himself may weigh and
record the milk. This looks like big
job at first. However, when you stop
to compare the time it takes to do this
with the time it takes to milk one or
two Improbable cows the results
would favor the former. The equip
ment necessary is simple. A spring
balance near the milk can and sheet
of paper. 1t is not necessary to weigh
the milk every day. Some prefer one
day week; some once every ten days,
and some two succeeding days each
month.
Anyone of the above will give accu-
rately enough results if done faith
fully and regularly. The main thing
is to weigh the milk some way or 9TH
er so that you can get line on what
your cows are doing.
What Daily Weighing Shows.
The number of dairymen who weigh
their milk at each milking is increas-
ing. At first thought the time cost
would seem to be big objection. 1t
has been found that it takes only half
a minute day to weigh and record
the milk from one cow. In herd con-
tanning Is cows it would take about
71a minutes day; at 20 cents an hour
for time the cost of weighing and re-
cording the milk from Is cows for one
year would be about 5000. This is
pretty cheap when one considers that
it usually results in exposing one or
two boarders.
Some Advantages of DAILY Weighing.
Daily weighings show you exactly
what each cow in the herd has done
for her keep. The milk sheet with
the daily weights serves as barcm-
,eter for the herd. If there is sudden
drop in production You become inter-
ested in knowing the cause. Without
recording you may not know that the
cows have dropped off in milk. Per-
haps the COWS have been left out in
the cold too long; the drinking water
me-; have been so cold that the COWS
did not take all they wanted and went
back into the barn thirsty. In this
connection it must be remembered that
over 80 per cent of milk is water and
a thirsty cow will not produce her
maximum of milk. The milk sheet
lis a check on the hired man. If he is
poor mixer the milk sheet will dis
. close the fact. The daily weight will
tell you if the nights are too frosty
flor leaving the cows out all night. 1t
will also show the effect of a change
a., of feed.
Cooperative Cow Testing.
Another way of eliminating the
poor cows is for 26 or thirty farmers
to- cooperate and employ a man Of
experience to work for them. This man
visits each of the 26 or 80 farms one
day each month. He has his outfit
and weighs the milk morning and
night, takes samples, and tests them
( for butter fat. He also makes a rec
ord of the feed that the cows get. At
the end of the year he can tell you
exactly the production of each COW
and approximately what it cost you to
keep her. Such a system means ex-
ira expense, but it is easy to show
that it pays.
If Paws

TeCOIuS VI CllS dNCIdSC hSio
of common cows in Minnesota will in
variably show that there are unprofit-
able cows in the herd; cows that do
not pay their board. Such record
will also show that in the average herd
of common cows there are some indi-
viduals of splendid dairy qualities
worth two or three times as much as
other cows in the same herd. For
some reason or other these same cows
may be valued at less by their owner.
Yearly records will also show that
herds of grade cows usually are more
profitable than herds of scrub cows.
Keeping Records Stimulate Better
Efforts.
1t is much more interesting to feed
and milk cows if one gets interested
in how much he can make them pro-
duce. You may make up your mind
that your pet cow can make 5000 lbs
of milk in year. If she drops in milk
flow you will seek the cause and try
to remedy it. Such interest in great
er production has resulted in increas-
ing the average yearly production OF
a great many herds to ESQ and 35C
pounds of butter fat per year.

How 10 Construct An IncubQtor Cellar
Uniform T m p CT a tur e, Moisture and Perfect Ven- tilation Are the Essential Features - Concrete Is Among Best Materials for Walls and Floor; It Is Easy to Build.
By ROBERT ARMSTRONG Expert POultryman and Writer


 On poultry farms of any size, espe- cially those that make a speciality of day-old chicks and custom matching, 8 suitable place for the operation of an in- cubator is highly important. Incubators are run in great variety of places and under varying conditions, but for best results at the least labor and worriment to the operator cellar or basement provides the most generally satisfactory environment. The following article con- tains design for an improved type of cellar, with instructions for building it.
 Some poultry raisers claim that an in- cubator can be operated anywhere-in the barn, attic, cellar. loft, shed, spring house, in the kitchen, parlor or in tent Be that as it may, authorities agree that the best location is where the atmosphere is more or less moist, where the tempera- ture is, to great extent, uniform. and cool and where it is possible to obtain plenty of ventilation at the same time. The air in the room for an incubator must be sweet and fresh, or the eggs will not receive the oxygen which they ab- solutely require.
 The above mentioned conditions are sel-
