NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR.

The customary sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals will not be held this
year. 1t seemed best to both the
American Red Cross and the National
tuberculosis Association to unite In
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call to
reduce the number Of appeals to the
public for contributions. There will
be no lessening Of activities by the
National tuberculosis Association
through this arrangement, as tine Red
Cross War Council has appropriated
$2,500,000 for anti-tuberculosis work

The keeping of a reasonable number
Of sheep on the average farm does not
necessitate theNkeeping Of fewer dairy
cows or other grazing stock. This fact
was determined by the United States
department of agriculture In its recent
investigation of sheep raising posi-
biiities In New England 1t was found
that farms where sheep are kept sue
cessfully have practically the same
number and kinds of other live stock
as other farms of like area where no
sheep are kept, and that the acreage
In crops on the two classes of farms
Is substantially the same. The infer
enee is that the farmer who keeps no
sheep is simply throwing away enough
pasturage that cows and other live
stock do not utilize to net him q neat
profit.

LARGER PRODUCTION

Legume hay and corn silage formed
large part of the rations Of those
cows which made the greatest income
over cost of feed in contrasting associ-
ations, in which the records of 5,587
cows covering a period of four years
were studied. by specialists of the de-
partment of agriculture. By feeding
such feeds larger production can be
combined with economic production
and the income over cost of feed can
be increased. Economic production
benefits both producer and consumer.
The feeding Of concentrates to dairy
cows should be based on known pro-
duction. Farmers who are too busy
to test their own cows may now have
the work done for them at nominal cost
by Joining a contrasting association.
AS ordinarily conducted, contrasting
association Is an organization Of about
26 dairy farmers who comparatively
employ man to test their cows for
economical production. The tester
not only weighs the milk and the feed
but he. tests the milk for butterfat and
assists the farmers In feeding their
cows according to production.
Before the formation Of a cow-testing
association in a certain dairy district
few farmers fed grain to their dry
cows, and none fed a balanced ration
to any of their cows; prepared feeds
Of unknown merit were largely used !;
and some farmers dished up the grain
with q scoop shovel and fed all their
cows alike, regardless Of production.
Through the active cooperation of
all the members Of the association
those conditions were rapidly changed.
Better feeding of dry cows Increased
the milk flow during the next lactation
period; the use Of a well-balanced ra-
ton brought about more economical
feeding, and abandoning the scoop
shovel method and feeding concentrates
according to production greatly re-
duced the cost of feed However, the
elimination Of low producers that did
not respond to better feed and care eff
fected the greatest saving Of all. In
some herds these changes more than
doubled the income over cost Of feed.
The dairymen belonging to that asso.
citation demonstrated that 1t pays to
keep good cows and to feed them well.
The cow-testing association records
clearly show that the most practical,
far-reaching, and vitality important
facts connected with the economical
production of milk may be grouped log
ically under these three heads: Selec'
ton, breeding, feeding. Careful and in,
telligent feeding, care, and manage
ment lift the dairy business to GER
tain level, but the highest level can
be reached only when to these are add
ed careful selection and intelligent
breeding.

SHEEP AS BENEFACTORS

A hundred times you have no.

man, horse and little moving ma
chine going about clipping the
grass on the golf course.
Sometimes you have noticed
another fellow, or a group Of fell
lows, going over the course,
bending, prodding in the grass
with little trowel-like tools.
Annoying? Yes; but, In the
ordinary course Of things, nee
essary. The grass has to be kept
short and smooth for your COM
fort and convenience. And the
ugly weeds have to be rooted
out. Still all of that work has
to be paid for out Of the dues
Of the members.
And, after all, the whole bust
ness-annoyance and expense
might be avoided. A flock Of
sheep would keep the grass clip
ped as closely and as neatly as
the mower does-and the sheep
would eradicate the weeds much
more certainly than the prodding
fellows possibly can.
Besides, they would convert
the grass and weeds into meat
and wool 10 help the nation

People who install sheep on lawns
will be following an illustrious exam
pie. For many weeks now a small
flock of sheep has been grazing on the
White House grounds, converting the
grass which was formerly wasted into
good meat and wool, and incidentally
keeping down weeds that were source
OF endless trouble. 1t has been found
that the sheep are not only useful but
ornamental. Many thousands Of peo-
