The Best Breed of Cattle.

Which is the best breed Of cattleP
There can be but one answer to this
question. 1t is this:
There is no best breed. The best
breed for you to keep is the one you
personally prefer.
Do not be deceived into believing that
one breed is better than another. The
fact is that one breed will do as we'll as
another provided good individuals are
kept and proper care is taken of the
herd. This fact has been proven by our
COW testing association. The records
show that one member is making Q de-
cided success with Holsteins, while
others are doing equally we'll with Ayr
shires, Brown Swiss, Guernseys, Jerseys,
and milking Shorthorns. / venture the
assertion that the man who is making
The greatest success with Jerseys would
probably have little luck with Holsteins.
There is one breed that holds q place
of prominence In your heart. There Ia
one breed that you fancy better than all
the others. After all, 1t Is matter of
sentiment, yet you will do we'll to heed
it.
Get individuals of the breed you like
best. Be sure to get the best you can
afford. II your purse is small, purchase
a few good ones rather than number OF
poor grades. There Is nothing more
discoursgipg than trying to make a
profit by feeding high priced feed to
scrub COWS. It isn't breed that counts;
it is individual taste, selection, and care.

Law Court Decision.

The law court has handed down 9
rescript in the Oxford county slandel
case of Oscar U. Sullivan versus Daniel
II. McCafferty, overruling the motion oi
the defendant If the plaintiff within 30
days after the certificate is filed remitt
all Of the verdict In excess of $500, other
wise the defendants motion is sustained
The verdict was for $1475.
The rescript, which was drawn by As.
sociate Justice Arno W. King of Ellis
worth, is In part as follows:
The slander complained of, and ad.
mitted, Is that the defendant said of the
plaintiff she forged my name 10 tha,
note" At the trial the defendant
claimed that bis statements concerning
the plaintiff were made In good faith
and with an honest belief In their truth,
and he requested the court to ipstruc,
the jury as follows: "If the statements
made by the defendant were made With
an honest belief in their truth, no act ual
malice should be inferred, and only such
damage as has been actually sustained
can be recovered" The court declined
to give that request as worded, but did
instruct the jury "that II statement
made by the defendant were made in an
honest belief In their truth, and he used
the same degree of care that an ordinary
prudent man would use, and should use,
before accusing the plaintiff of crime,
and be could not discover, by the exer.
else of that care, that the signature to
the note was his signature, then NO
actual malice can be inferred"

More Air.

More fresh air In the school room and
the Office and the home will materially
decrease the number Of colds, according
to the State Department Of Health.
Most sickness comes In the winter and
one great reason for this is the tendency
to give up the outdoor life when the
weather Is cold. When people are shut
pp together iu air-tight houses they can
easily exchange infections, as It were,
and with the reduced vitality which In.
door life occasions there Is little to stop
the spread Of colds and other ailments
The slogan OF "More Fresh Air"
means different things to different
people; to some II means getting out Of
doors for q limited time during the day
and then going back to the air-tight
compartment again; to Others "More
Fresh Air" means the letting of outdoor
air into the living and sleeping rooms; to
still others, "More Fresh Air" means q
combination of outdoor life and of per.
feet ventilation In the home and office.
To these latter, the slogan becomes q
daily guard against infection and illness.

What the Margin Means.

You heard the story that Pres. Gar
field used to tell about margins. You
will recall that when in college Garfield
was continuously beaten In bis GLASSES
BY another student, and this greatly dis
turbed him. He worked hard, thought
his lessons we'll learned, and was about
to conclude that his rival had the better
brain. It was q bitter, humilating
thought to admit; but always there was
the fact, his rival just ahead of him q
point or two in class recitations and
examinations.
One night Garfield made ready for
bed; he turned the light out and went
to the window to raise 1t slightly for o
bit of fresh air. Accidentally the blind
flew up, and there across the way be
saw his fellow student, bis class rival,
still at work. Greatly interested he
stood watching, and for 10 minutes the
lamp in the rivals room continued to
burn. 81 have 1t now," said young
Garfield; "that's bis margin"
So thereafter Garfield kept at his work
for Is minutes longer than bad been bis
custom before. And the result was that
almost at once he bested his competitor
at every turn! Is farming any differentp
Everywhere I 90, every observation I
make, see this margin idea expressed
in farm results. Two neighbors have
each field each year devoted to wheat.
The soil is the same, fence only divid
ing them. The same sun warns both
fields, the same clouds provide the
moisture, the same methods are follow
ed in seeding, harvesting and marketing.
All quite the same, except for one thing
-one man was little more careful In
providing his seed, or IN the summer be.
fore seeding, ran the harrow over the
field Q time or two more. 1t was the
margin that gave the better yield to the
one, that bested the other. Many men
own a. many dairy herds. Use of pure
bred sires In grade herds 10 the margin
that brings success to one group OF
dsiYymen, and loss to another group.
Again, one group is particular that an
abundance OF home raised feeds, with
legumes predominatiDg, 10 raised right
on the farm. These become the mar
gin, which means better profits In milk.
Still again, another group in buying
grain concentrates, buys protein at least
cost, and not simply mill feed to give
the COWS. Their margin is the saving In
purchased grain plus the better yields
from better feeding.
Go anywhere, in any direction, look
at any type of farmingl You will find
the margins that mean profit to one,
loss maybe to another. Garfield was
right. There 10 . margin In everything
jim the class room, the dairy barn, the
cultivated field, the steer pen, the
poultry yard, the truck farm, and this
margin II employed will bring success
ont Of defeat, profit out Of loss, getting
ahead ont Of standing still or going
back. Gentle reader, let's look for our
margins and take TO heart this story
that Garfield has 20 ably exemplifed.- =

Save Stable Manure.

Remember that every ton of good
stable manure Is worth SO ton, or
better at the present prices of plant
food. Fertilizer In bags Is bound to be
high for next years crops, and there is
some question Of getting enough at any
price. If you we're saving $5 notes to
use next season, you would not think Of
throwing them ont behind the barn.
You do worse than that when you allow
q ton of manure to leach and wash away.
At present prices one can well afford to
do some extra labor and keep the manure
pile under cover. He can also gather
leaves for bedding, or use some absorbent
that will retain the liquid. Also care.
fully preserve every bucket OF wood
ashes. The potash in these will be even
more valuable In 1918 than the past
season.

Better Apples for Maine.

Is. h. Eaten, Assistant Horticulturist)
In packing apples 1t is advisable to
have them packed right so that, when
the purchaser Of your apples opens the
barrel or box, he will find them up to
the standard Of what they are marked
Satisfied customers are one of the best
advertisements as they buy more apples
of the same brand, they tell their friends
where they purchased the fruit, and ad-
wise them to buy from the same parties.
The repeat orders are what count In
business. It is much easier to sell to
a satisfied customer than 1t is to have
to hunt up new ones that are not fsmil'
lar with the grade of your fruit.
We are situated near some Of the best
markets that use large amount of
apples. Let us awaken to the many
splendid opportunities for orcharding
that We have here In Maine that ought
to be good investment for the orchard
ist. Good care should be taken of the
orchard. The trees should be cultivated,
fertilized, pruned and sprayed. 1t has
been my pleasure to visit quite a num-
Der of orchards that were receiving
proper treatment and the fIuit looked
fine.
Pruning to make an open headed tree
Is desirable 80 that the sun and air can
reach all parts of the top Of the tree
Do not allow your fruit trees to over
bear as it may result In your fruit not
growing to Its normal size, but thin out
as the good sized, highly colored fruit
hringa the best price.
If the trees are planted in rocky land
where 1t is impossible to plow, ! would
advise grubbing the land around the
base of the trees and mulching. Where
the tree is quite large, mulch for q good
sized space around the trunk.
The apple inspectors are now in the
field and the State Department of Agri-
culture ls trying as far as possible to
have uniform pack that will be accept
able to the trade and credit to the
state.-Tbe Department of Agriculture,
