RIGHT METHODS GREATEST

calf should have good par
entage on the male side. Blu
an inspection of Illinois dairy
herds will show that little at
tention is paid to the quality
of the sire. In single trip tt
the dairy region of northern
Illinois the writer noter six
} herds in which the heifel
calves were raised for future
COWS, but in which the bulls
used were miserable little
scrubs, vertible runts and
weaklings, obtained by simply
saving a grade calf from the
herd, and Of many other sires
fairly good as individuals, lit
tie is known Of the actual milk
production of their female an
cestors
There are two principle rea-
sons for this. Oneiis that I'M
der the custom of selling the
heifer calves for veal it makes
no difference about the breed
ing. But as this custom is to
be changed by successful
dairymen and the best heifers
raised for cows, it becomes nee
essary, imperative, to provide
good sires. But another reason
is that the pure bred sire costs
more money. Underlying both
of these is the fundamental rea-
son that many dairymen do not
yet fully realize the wonderful
improvement that can be
wrought by a good head of the
herd.
Everyone is familiar with
the saying that the sire is half
the herd. This is literally true.
That is, of the qualities be-
queathed to the calves the male
furnishes half. The COW influ-
ences the character of but one
calf a year; the bull passes on
his personality to many calves
to all the calves of the herd of
ordinary size. When he is
chosen, half the character of all
the calves is determined. In a
herd of forty cows his influ-
ence is as much as that of the
whole number of cows taken to-
gether.
II the sire is kept with the
same cows several years, each
year he starts out a generation
of calves more than half of
whose qualities and strength
were transmitted by the sire.
This single step is a great inn
provement. But his successor,
of similar type and breeding,
mated to these improved heif-
ers, carries the Improvement
forward another step, fixing
the qualities and power to
transmit them more surely and
strongly, carrying them to a
higher degree and eliminating
defects that have come from
tie mothers side. From gen.
Grafton to generation the sue
cession of well selected sires
goes on increasing and inten-
styling the Improvement of the
lerd. In TIL lay the sire be-
comes three-fourths, seven
Fights, fifteen-sixteenths, ETC.,
Of the herd. In fact in a few
years the sire is the "whole
thing"
So the sire may be much
more than half the herd, wheth-
er judged by the strength,
luality or accumulated effect
of the characteristic he trans
mits. It is literally true that
the sire may thus, within a few
years at slight expense, com
pletely transform the dairy
herd and more than double its
profits.

SCHOOL OF THRIFT DIPLOMA
Such Is the Designation of a Liberty
Loan Bond BY President
S. w. Straus.

New York, Oct. 10.-"A Liberty
Bond is diploma in the school of
thrift" declared S. w. Straus, presi.
dent of the American Society for
Thrift, in a statement to the mem.
bers of that organization today. "a
subscription to this issue is the best
way to begin a thrifty life" Secre-
tary McAdoo is asking for subscrip-
tions from 100000 Americans. If
he is successful in this feature of the
loan it will mean that thousands of
our citizens have for the first time in
their lives begun the accumulation of
something for Old age or the rainy
day.
LET me appeal especially to the
man or woman who has gone along
thus far in life with absolutely moth
ing laid by. Not only does your
country need your help in this mat
ter but you need it even more. This
Liberty Loan is going to be a sue
cess, for America knows not how to
fail. but you will keep on being an
individual failure unless you arise
to this opportunity. A Liberty
bond or two tucked away in a safety
deposit vault will bring you more
pleasure than the same amount in
vested in any other way. Once a
saver always saver. The person
who hasn't enough moral stamina to
save money for such a cause as this
is pretty apt to be a failure in life,
Prove your worth and give your own
future chance by subscribing for
this loan. You need it as much as
Il needs YOU"
