Claims Objections Raised to

Gle entitled "Sportsmen state Their
Objections to Pending Bill and the

December and January. If an ind"tl-

"this snow is easy to travel under
and the going will be very SAFE"
With all the Joy of a human ex-
plorer, Tommy set himself to work
to make paths and highways under
the snow. Never in his small life
had he had quite so much fun. He
found that he could make pathways
through which he, all unseen above
the snow, could run with perfect
safety. And under the snow he
found many a choice tit-bit of food
that might have escaped his eye in
the days of summer plenty.
This winter weather is not so bad
as feared" he said to Mrs. Tommy
when he came back home; exploring
is easy and pleasant and fattening-

And Mrs. Tommy, nibbling at bit
of root Tommy had brought her,
nodded approvingly.

production of pure bred cows is dis
tinctly a recommendation. The above
figures arc 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 il,
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 cb
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 in n 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 as
likely to be inferior as to be superior
to her. On the other hand, pure bre]
stock carefully selected and judiciousiy
bred afford a foundation for improving
quality with every generation.

the grubs become tough before being

If the opening through the skin is
very small it should be enlarged with

The cattle should be examined from
fifteen to twenty days later, and any
grubs that escape the first treatment
should be squeezed out and crushed.
1t is important that any grubs
squeezed out should be destroyed, else
they will transform into adult 1ies.
The OK MARBLE is one of the worst
enemies Of. cattle, especially in the

Missouri, ]. C. Written of the depart

of Missouri says.
Young trees should be selected for
planting, and they should be set at the

nursery" Mr.. Written said. Trees
turn to the northeast and grow crooked
because Of the warm south and south
west winds during the growing season.
The tree should be set with the heavier
side to the southwest to avoid this.
'The roots should be trimmed so as
not to be cramped and any ragged
wounds taken off, Peach trees should
be pruned most severely after planting
of any of the orchard fruits. Trim all
branches off, leaving single whip;
then shorten the whip to a height Of
about two and one-half feet. Cherry
trees should be less severely trimmed.
If well branched the center of the tree
should be cut out. The japanese plum
