and most common, sire of the de-
sired type may be bought for the
herd and year after year improve
ments may go on in this manner.
But it is at best tedious process
and, except in the Improvement OF
the dairy herd, 1t had better be avoid
ed. Life at best is not long enough
to observe very marked results by
this method. ........, ..ssa.s7-
A much better method in the case OF
beef cattle, sheep and swine, If many
are kept, is to provide few females
of the desired type and also male for
them, the progeny of which shall be
kept while the old type are gradually
disposed Of. 1t is surprising how quick
ly the type of the herd will be changed.
Then again it is possible to sell Off
the entire lot of cattle or other live
stock on the farm and to procure
those of the desired type at one time.
This is the ideal method if it is finan-
cially practicable.
The one great thing to be desired in
a herd is uniform excellence and the
easiest and least expensive method of
bringing this about is the one to be
adopted.

A government report gives very
satisfactory account of the bravery
of the American men who are called
into service. 1t says in part:
when men called under the Sc
lective service law reach the can
tonments they are given so far as
practicable, their choices of army
service. Infantry is most often
preferred, Artillery second, Engi-
neer divisions are third in popular
ity, and quartermaster work fourth.
Investigations SO far made by the
committee on classifcations of per-
sonnet in the army, which has the
matter in charge. prove that only
2 per cent of the men attempt to
secure nonhazardous positions"

WHAT OUR TEASPOONS COST
Increase of Only About Twenty Cents
in Addition to the Actual Outlay
for Material.

'Tn the specific case of the tea
spoon, all Of this study, labor and
loving craftsmanship goes into the
converting of single ounce of silver
which costs today in the American
market about so cents per ounce, !"
notes Art World Magazine, in dis
cussing the art of the silversmith.
"This same ounce of silver is ulti-
mately delivered to our critical and
exacting public at the rate, in the
practical, finished product, of only
100 cents per Duncan increase Of
&c cents for the designing, the crafts
manship, The shipping, the selling
and final delivery.
cit has been fairly estimated that
it but one teaspoon were made and
sold, irrespective of the value of the
artistic endeavor that goes into the
production, that which really sells
for 81, or $1.25, would cost-val-
ued in pure material and mechanical
workmanship-close to $1,000. A
dozen teaspoons honestly valued at
81, OOO-and sold for ST each! If
this fact were more generally known
it would doubtless add much to the
appreciation of our common table
flatware.
"Only because SO many of our
American children are born with a
silver spoon in their mouths, die
with one not very far away, and use
one all the time in intervening life,
is it at all possible to produce and
sell this intrinsically valuable article
at a price which is astonishingly so
slightly above the cost of the raw

There are a number of vacant
lots in Kendrick that would make
very desirable building spots if they
could be purchased at a reasonable
price. A vacant lot in a small town
is very poor piece of property as
it brings in nothing in the nature
of an income. Build house on it
and it becomes desirable piece of
property and will return a good
rate of interest on the investment
and eventually pay off the princi-
pie. There are SO few good lots in
town that it is a pity those that
might be available cannot be secur-
ed at price that would justify
adding enough to the investment to
build the house. 1t is not likely
the price will advance materially
on lots as there is a limit to their
value in small town.

CHANCE FOR MAN-WIFE,

A young man who, during his
chief career, had never been re-
quired to do very much labor at
home, enlisted for the present war,
and is now in a training camp
somewhere in America" Recently
his mother received a letter from
him in which he said that he had
never worked so hard in his life,
that he had been doing kitchen
work, making beds, washing and
drying dishes, ETC., and that when
ne returned from the war he would
make some fellow the very best wife
there ever was.

RATION FOR GROWING COLTS
Two Parts Oats and One Part Bran
Makes Suitable Feed-Add Little
Corn in Winter.

Two parts of oats preferably
crushed) and one part of bran make
a very suitable feed for growing colts.
In cold weather little corn may be
added not to exceed 25 per cent of the
ration. If clover or alfalfa is used as
half Of the roughage ration, no oil
meal will be needed, but if the rough
age consists of wild hay or corn slower,
about S.per cent of Oil meal should be
added to the grain ration Where oats
is high in price and barley is plent:.
full, ration Of crushed barley 60 per
cent, bran 80 per cent, and oil meal 10
per cent should give good results.
There is little danger of overfeed-
ing a colt if it is properly exercised. A
colt should receive at least one pound

There seems to be considerable
interest in both Nez Perez and La

GIVE ATTENTION TO CALVES
Sour Milk, Irregular Feeding and Vary.
Ing Temperatures viii Not
Make Good Animals.

If you have spring calves you need
give them attention in order to keep
them growing. Sour milk, irregular
feeding, and varying temperatures Of
the milk will not make good calves.
After the calves have been changed
to skim milk the temperature of the
milk can gradually be reduced until
cold milk is fed all the time. It had
best be cold all the time than warm
one feed, cold another and hot an
other. If a farm separator is used,
Of course the milk should be fed as
soon as skinned.

1t is to be hoped that the low
price of potatoes will not discour-
age producers to such an extent
that they will not plant the usual
acreage. Plan to put in patch in
the spring if for no other reason
than that it is the patriotic thing to
do. When you market your pota-
toes be sure to hold back enough
for seed so you will be on the safe
side at planting time. You may
not have made as big profits on
your potato patch as you did on
your beans, but you have the salts
faction of knowing that you have
contributed greatly to the relief of
the poor in the cities, as the moder-
ate price on potatoes has been a
godsend to them.
