SIZE OF ,DAIRYMANSA INCOME
Noticeable Increase Where Purebred
Bulls Are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Do
Not Pay for Keep.

Figures recently compiled by the
University Of Illinois seem to show
that there is definite relation be-
tween good bull and the size Of the
dairyman's income.
On 124 dairy farms where purebred
bulls were kept at the head of the
dairy herd, the average farm income
was ST, 102 after deducting the taxes,
interest on investment, etc.
On 466 dairy farms where grade
bull stood at the head Of the herd the
farm Income was found to be 1874 per
year, and on SO farms where scrub
bulls were used the farm income was
-$243, or failed by $243 to pay inter-
est on the investment, to say nothing
about pay for the owners time.

my discerning nose and Inhaled. All!
there was rubber in 1t! At least it
had the smell of rubber factory
around it. 1t might perhaps have come
from some tire works. or garden hose

have, a near-skin or leatherette shoe.
