The modern dairy COW is bred so
far away from the wild COW of ma
ture that it is only by continual selec-
ton that the production of our herds
can be maintained at the present level
to say nothing of increasing it. The
only practical ways for most farmers
to greatly improve the production of
their herds, according to Farmers
week lecture by c. Fl. Eckles of the
Missouri College of Agriculture, are
to Gull out the inferior cows and intro
duce the best possible blood through
the sire. The old saying that the sire
is half the herd is literally true from
the standpoint of herd improvement.
The sire selected should first of all be
a purebred of the breed to which the
cows belong. Crossbreeding does not
pay and in the end is disastrous to the
herd.
The age of the bull so far as known
has nothing to do with the character
istics he transmits. The advantage
of the mature bull is that generally it
is possible to see some of his daugh-
tiers and in this way judge as to the

BROOD MARE SHOULD
RECEIVE GOOD FEED
High Price of Grain Tends to
Make Some Owners Stingy
With Winter Feeding.

Proper food for the brood mare in
winter is not given due consideration
in seasons of high-priced grain, in the
opinion of DIR. G. w. McCampbell, as
sociate professor of animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
IAN increased number of complaints
regarding mares which have lost their
colts are always noted in years of high
priced feeds" said Doctor McCamp.
bell. "This condition is due primarily
to two reasons. The mare owner, be-
ing DESTROYS of carrying. his mares
through the winter as cheaply as pos
sible, depends largely upon such
roughages as prairie hay, cane, katir,
and corn fodder. This kind of a ra-
ton is constipating, and such condi-

Armstrong stared curiously. Sudden
ly he ran his hand across a dozen or
more green and brown certificates.
"Keystone Consolidated! he ex-

vaguely.
THAT they have become one of the
most seasoned investments on the mar
ket. Two hundred shares, four hun
dred, two thousand. Preferred. Why,
Lima, you are an actual heiress. Very
carefully we must soak them off that
wall, for they represent something like
one hundred thousand dollars market
value"
And so, at the end of the straight
road so patiently traversed by gentle,
self-sacrificing Lima, there was fortune
and happiness supreme.

AT A JAPANESE FESTIVAL

Like a Country Fair Than ReIi-

I went out to Ikegamishrine, very
famous place, where the festival is at

pie different families had set up their
little Shrines and the people sat
around and. peeled apples and
crunched them or smoked and Cos
siped, while others beat on the fish,
mouth wooden gongs and conducted
the ceremonies. Coppers rained into
the big bins in front of the idols and
hundreds of candle prayers wavered
and flickered in the mass movement
of religious riot. When the candle
was two-thirds burned it gave way to
another, for wax is valuable and can
be resold, and half a prayer must not
occupy the place that might be given
to a whole one.
Some people were evidently in a
prayerful mood, but squawkers and
rubber apples on real branches will
typify the shrine to me. That and

HOG COMFORT AND EXERCISE IN WINTER

corn to make 100 pounds Of gain than
was required by hogs well sheltered.
Figuring corn worth present prices,
this added a cost of II cents to the
cost of producing 100 pounds Of pork /;
enough more to pay for a good SAM
tary hoghouse in the course Of few
winters.
Yet we must not pamper our hogs
and keep them shut up in the warm
hoghouse all the time. We must
get them out of doors daily and reg
ularly for exercise. We must have
runways or yards conveniently con-
nected with the pens or house, and
scatter some unthreshed peas or bun
die oats or alfalfa hay about for them
to work over in these. Better still,
is to have feeding racks in the yard
to keep these in, as less will be vast
ed then. Such feeds will keep the
hogs interested and busy going forth
and back, and the exercise and inter-
est will keep them feeling comfortable
while they are out.

One of the oldest assertions Of the

1t is not wise to select bull from

ton but the average of the family to

For high-producing, purebred herd
the safest way is, so far as possible,
to select bull old enough to have
daughters in milk. 1t is then possi-
bic to judge fairly accurately as to
the character of his offspring.
The two methods of selecting bulls
are illustrated by the herd bulls owned
by the University of Missouri. Sui

Jersey herd, was selected on account
of his splendid daughters. His moth

Sure Test of Diamond.

The fact that real diamonds are
phosphorescent after being treated in
the following manner Is said to make
the following test sure one: First
of all, expose the stone for few min

Then rub briskly on wood or metal.
Now take it into a dark place, when

FEEDING POULTRY DRY FEED
Supply of Mixture of Bran, Shorts

Farmers should keep dry ground
feed, such as mixture of bran, shorts
and cornmeal, in hoppers before the
hens at all times. Either sour milk or
buttermilk should be given as drink.
Crushed limestone or oyster she'll
should be before the hens all the time,
