REASONS FOR THE PUREBRED DAIRY SIRE

no excuse for living, and the only sensible thing to do is to castrate all grade bull calves and make use of them for what they will bring as veal.
 By the use of the good, purebred bull very high-producing cows may soon be the result, even with q medium grade herd of cows. It is quite easy to understand that 250 pounds of but terfat produced by one COW in a year would be much more profitable than if the 250 pounds of butterfat are pro duced by two COWS at 125 pounds each.
 Usually the services of q purebred dairy sire may be had at reasonable price, and if there is no bull of the kind in the neighborhood then it might pay the farmers of the neighborhood to own one jointly.
 It would be quite conservative to ex- pect the hefer calves from good, purebred dairy bull to produce at least twenty pounds more butterfat in year than their dams. Estimating six. year period of production with 20- pound annual tutf6dSe dDONC IIlc udlH production, the get of the purebred sire would produce 12o pounds more butterfat in the six years than the dam.
 If n small herd of five cows were bred to this purebred sire, this would mean GOO pounds more butterfat in the next six years over and above what the dams of these animals could pro- duce.
 If the average price of butterfat in the time is taken as 30 cents pound, this would amount to $1S0, or the amount made by one seasons breed- ing with the purebred animal over and above what could have been expected if a grade bull had been used. More over, these cows would be capable of producing better calves than they could have produced had they been sired by grade bull.

SAFETY IN THE SOUiE
Farmers Urged to Produce snd
 Conserve Food Supply.
National Problem of Defense as m portant as Men, Guns, Ships ar Cannon-Do Not Increase m
 Acreage in Cotton.

(By BRADFORD KNAPP Chief If Co.,
 Operative Extension Work. States Re-
 lations Service, Department of Agricul-
 ture)
 For nearly three years l have done my best to warn you to prepare for the present emergency. For years we have tried to encourage diVersification in the South as basis for greater safety, both agricultural and economic. Since the war began in Europe we have urged safe farming. When prices were low you did well and made great prog ress. When cotton went to IS cents and over you made large profits be- cause of your progress in safe farm ing, but some were tempted to go back to cotton. In common with many other men, have tried to warn you of that danger. Cotton has not been high but has only increased in somewhat less proportion than food and feed.
 Now the crisis is here! This great nation must arouse herself for a mighty struggle for liberty. People without food and armies without ra- tions are conquered before they can be- gin to fight. Our greatest safety now lies in food production and in saving the waste products.
 If the South is to be strong she must have food. If this country is to be strong she must be well fed and have an abundance to sustain those friendly people who are even now fighting our battles for liberty and democracy.
 Transportation may be disturbed Your own defense requires you to pro duce and conserve your food supply Don't fail nowl It is national prob lem of defense as important as men and guns, ships and cannon.
 Business men, if seed Is snort can vass the situation like patriots and get the seed for farmers. Arrange the credits. Furnish farmers seed corn soy beans, cowpeas, velvet Deahs' pea nuts. sorghum, etc, at cost. See that all things necessary to help farmers are done. Of course, we must produce cotton, but with a moderate acreage and good season there will be enough. Do not sacrifice acres of food to in crease your acreage in cotton. Look ahead Get the warehouses, the feed mills, shelters, cleaning stations, cream cries, packing plants, etc, ready You must do your share and cooperate with

Brakeman Was Shocked.

Among the things which passed through the mind of a brakeman yes terday was 11,000 volts of electricity. says a New York dispatch. Now the man feels just bit snappier than usual and Is going about his work with no faculty impaired. The brakeman climbed to the roof of a freight car In the Bronx yards of the New Haven railroad in the course of his work to ease the pressure of the cars side door. Above his head the giant feed wire dangled. He started to walk to- ward the rear of the train and walked into the sagging wire. He does not know that he missed the snappiest acrobatic performance in the history of rsilroading. When they climbed up on the car they found him yawning and a bit mystifed. but when an ambulance surgeon arrived there was nothing for him to do but congratulate the brake man.

PLAN FOR MEAT PRODUCTION
Nothing of More Importance Than Pas t4res, Peas and Peanuts-Start
 Bermuda Pasture.

 If your policy is Hive at home and board at the same place." nothing probably is of more importance In the meat production side of such a policy than the four P's-pastures. peas, pea nuts and pigs.
 Now is the ideal time for starting bermuda pastures, and a little later grazing crops of peas and peanuts. A bermuda pasture with few ears of corn or an equal amount of good rice meal daily will give gradual profit able growth of pigs after they are four months old Previous to this time they should have a full ration of shorts, preferably fed in slop. Feed them all the surplus buttermilk.
 Peas and peanuts planted at inter- vals from now on should furnish cheap finishing crops which will produce pork at profit If finished with corn for two or three weeks in connection herewith.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Purchase All Supplies Needed by the Allied Countries

Washington.-Crea of q central purchasing committee in Washington for all supplies bought in the United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert of the British war mission. The committee will supplant J. P Morgan X Co.
 Discussing the world financial situa- tion. the British expert expressed the opinion that Germany will be practical ly bankrupt in the credit markets after the war.
 "0ur enemies" he said, flor all their boasted efficiency, have never had the courage to face their financial prob lens, with the result that when the war is over they will be hard put to it."
 The Teutonic governments having pyramided one internal loan upon an- other, he explained, their interest charges would be so great that he be- lieved they would either have to repu- diate a large part of their debt or face inability to buy the enormous quanti- 1. ties of material they would need for reconstruction.
 The allies, he added, had paid their way in the war "by the straightfor ward and natural means, by pouring out their gold, by selling enormous masses of American securities, by rais- ing loans." As result, he predicted that the end of the war would find the allies in good shape financially. despite their enormous permanent debts.

 Nothing but a purebred dairy sire should be used in breeding grade or scrub COWS which are maintained for milk and butterfat production.
 The use of a scrub bull can never be considered as economy in any sense.
 The purebred bull should be of the same breeding as the prevailing blood or the COWS, for crossing dairy breeds only causes confusion and gains noth- ing In the end. When good indyid- aal purebred butt is used on grade cows the offspring almost invariably

Protects Eardrums From concussion.

Protects Eardrums From Concussion.
 A French ear specialist, Doctor Bar dier, has devised a protection for the eardrums of artillerymen against the concussion of explosion when firing their cannon. It consists of a pledget of cotton batting, loosely packed and soaked in carbolized glycerin, this to be inserted in the ear; and an ear muff, loosely filled with cotton batting, this to cover the whole ear and the parts surrounding 1t. Of course. there is one for each ear.
 The loose packing of the cotton makes 1t interfere only slightly with the wearer's hearing, but prevents all shock to the eardrums.

 The approval of the new national army bill and the presidents proclama- tion hereunder have been coincident. All persons within the age limits pre- scribed are required to present them selves for registration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes. on day which the president will announce.
