Exercise is a prime essential. If young
bulls are placed in paddocks they will
usually take sufficient exercise, but
this is seldom true of an Old bull. A
better way to insure sufficient exercise
is to lead him a mile or two or even
farther every day. This exercise will
do more to keep him healthful. vigor-

however. because a child may be half

wrong kinds OF food
the schools of the future will give
much more attention than those OF the
past have given to individual study of
individual pupils. The teacher. then.
will study their children more and try
less TO teach them. Every child has a
natural tendency TO learn fast. When
he doesn't do so wise teachers and

LII his book. Succeeding With What

number of stories to show that there
is just as much opportunity in this
country to rise in the world as ever
Here is one of them:
Il know young New York FELLOW
who has built himself a big business.
He used to be poorly paid clerk in
department store. One rainy day,
when customers were few, the clerks
had gathered in a bunch to discuss
baseball. \ woman came into the
store wet and disheyeled. The base
bali fans did not disband, but this
young fellow stepped out Of the circle
and walked over TO the woman. What
can | show YOU, madam? he asked
cOurteously. She told him. He got the
article promptly, laid it before her and
explained its merits smilingly and in
telligently.
When the woman left she asked for
his card. Later the firm received
letter from woman ordering COM
plete furnishings for a great estate in
Scotland. 1 want one of your men.
Mr.. - she wrote, to supervise the
furnishing personally. The name she
mentioned was that of the clerk who
had been courteous.

firm, this man is one of our youngest
and most inexperienced clerks. Now.

production of pure bred COWS is dis
tinctly a recommendation. The above
figures are taken from the list of tested
cows issued by the Jersey, Guernsey.
Ayrshire and Holstein associations.
Certainly conditions of feed and care
affect production. 1t is equally certain
that the farmer and not the cow is re
spOnsible for these conditions, and it is
my contention that under similar con
ditiOns the pure bred COW will produce
more profitably and reproduce more
uniform quality in her calves than will
the grade.
Probably all of us from personal OBJ
servatiOn agree that the pure bred sire
is desirable at the head of the herd
Have We analysed the reasons why?
He is simply reproducing the qualities
of his pure bred fOrbears in building
up the producing ability of the herd.
Would a grade bull do the same:
Would he impart the same uniformity
to his get? Not in one case out of fifty.
No dairyman ever got rich III a day.
The dairy business demands patience
No dairyman can afford to neglect the
building up of his future herd. 1t is
his responsibility to breed better cows
with every generation. The grade COW
is a handicap in breeding. SO many
conflicting lines back of her prevent
prepOtency, and she fails to breed true
to type" Her daughters are Just a
likely to be inferior as to be superior
to her. On the other hand pure bred
stock carefully selected and judiciousIy
bred afford a foundation for improving
quality with every generation.
