BUILDING UP A DAIRY HERD
Essential That Dairyman Be Breeder-
Must Produce Milk. Cream or
Butter Of Quality.

Experience has taught the farme
who is In the dairy business. It is
very essential that he raise the cows
on the farm that are to constitute the
future dairy herd. He must be
breeder In the full sense of the word.
He must be as particular and
thoughtful as the man who is raising
thoroughbred high-price stock. He
should have definite purpose and
definite mental picture how best to ac-
c0mplish that purpose. Form and
beauty breeding must give way to
breeding for fixed purpose-that is,
production Of milk, cream or butter Of
the best quality, and at the lowest cost
of feed, labor and fixed charges that
must be met. All side issues should be
abandoned and his brain, capital and
influence be given to building up his
dairy's performance.

BIG LAYERS LATE MOLTERS
Fowls That Mott in October and No.

Hens that molt as late as October

Some will lay into December before

Poor layers invariably are those that

REMOVING TUSKS FROM BOAR
Anchor Animal to Post With Rope
Over Upper Jaw and Clip Teeth
With ChiseI.

A vigorous boar with big tusks is
dangerous beast. He can make bad
wound If he wants to. Anchor him to
a post with rope over the upper
Jaw just back Of the tusks and clip
them Off with a cold chisel. One man
may hold crowbar against the tusk
while the other uses the chisel on the
opposite side and disarms the old fel-
low with one sharp blow. Special in
struments for this purpose work all
right, but 1t takes some power to
work them on large tusks.

If the smart style of the tunic dress
had not made it favorite, the advent
of frocks like that shown above
would soon place it among the seasons
best successes. Here is a frock of
serge, trimmed with bands Of narrow
flat silk braid In the same color.
There is nothing unusual in the fabric
or the trimming, they are as familiar
as they are tried and true in the
realm of utility clothes, but neverthe-
less the dress is full of distinction. 1t
is so original in design, so artistic and
practical that it places itself at a
glance as among the most excellent
examples of today's styles.
The frock is made with a plated
tunic in one with Semifitted bodice
to be worn over q plain, narrow skirt.
In this instance the skirt is of serge
like the tunic and bodice but it might
be of satin or velvet. This combina-
ton Of cloth overdress with satin
skirt has pointed the way for remod-
cling suits into frocks, in many cases
and all these expedients are worth
considering-in the face of wartime
prices.
The loose bodice in the dress pic
tured is set on to tunic that Is box
plated all around. 1t is finished at
the bottom with three-inch hem and
above the hem three rows Of braid are
stitched. The braid is about three

One Of the strongest arguments in IA

large numbers of termites, cabbage

waste material.
I'm q few cases where the destruc

remembered, however, that what will

pulley located in a hole in the wall
above the rack, a weight being at
tached to the outside end Of rope
serving to always keep the rack
against the wall.
When the hay is put in, the rack is
drawn down, and when filed is pushed
back against the wall, holding the hay
in place closely and kept, in place by
the weight.
The grain-trough placed beneath
and in front Of the rack serves as a
receptacle for the chaff and leaves of
the hay-the best and most nourishing
part of the feed which would other
wise be pulled under foot and lost as

PRODUCTION OF POULTRY !;

The average size of the farm
flock in the United States is 40
hens. If the average is in
creased to 100 hens next year
there will be an increase Of g.
100000 pounds Of much needed
food-pOultry and eggs. An
equal number of pounds Of beef
and pork would thus be saved
for army purposes. Many farms,
Of course, can have fioeks of
several hundred, and some
farms will have to keep less.
But the effort Of the food ad-
ministration is to increase the
farm average to at least 100
hens.
It is an astonishing fact that
there are IL million eggless
farms in the United Statcs--an
economic anomaly and an agri-
cultural absurdity. Even if we
had never been forced to go to
war with Germany this condi-
tiOn would be one demanding
every effort at cOrrectiOn-for
each farm can, at least, produce
sufficient poultry and eggs for
home consumption, and thereby
be a more profitable farm.

RECORDS OF COWS
Popularity Of Testing Associa.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The popularity of cooperative cow
testing associations in the United
States is shown by the fact that there
are now 459 in this country, in which
records of cows are systematically
kept. Forty states now have associa-
tions. On July 1, 1917, there were
11,720 herds, with total Of 211, ,966
cows being tested regularly in these
associations. The total number Of
milch cows in the United States at
that time was 23,372, 200, Of which
0.91 per cent were numbered in these
organizations.
Five Associations.
The first cow-testing association was
organized in Newaygo county, Mich
igan, January, 1906, is still in exist
ence, and now has 30 herds with to-
tai Of 3O4 cows. Tho following year
three new associations were organized
in that state. In 1903 three were or
ganized in Maine, and one in New
York. The next year five other states
entered the list.
Wisconsin Leads.
Wisconsin now leads in the number
Of associations, 81 being in operation
in that state. Other leading states are

It Is no wonder tnat the muft1er col
lars with hats to match have persisted
through their second season. There is
something so comfortable looking in
these small collars of fur, that wrap
the throat to the ears, and for once
comfort and smart style are united.
When the muller collar and hat to
match join forces the smart set In mil
linery is achieved. They are simply
made for one another. With collars
that reach high up over the chin and
hats that come far down over the brow
there Is no chance for the winters cold
to reach anything but the eyes that
laugh at 1t.
Many furs made up In many ways
are used for these small neckpieces. A
very practical set Is shown In the pic
ture and two views of it are given In
order that its good points may be seen
and appreciated. The collar Is soft
and shaped to rest on the chest and
shoulders. It fastens at the back with
hooks and eyes and widens at the front.

School Tax Levy.

The following is from a letter by
Tel w. Lamkin to School Onicial $
and should receive the close attention
OF school boards, clerks. etc
There seems to he a wide diversity
IN rates of assessment (SOmc items
being reported at even less than la st
year, and there are many rumors aS
to the probable action of the State
Board of Equalization. Until it has
the report of the Tax Commission
before it, it cannot act. and until that
time no reliable announcement can be
made as to its probable action.
1t seems to me, therefore, that the
safest plan for School Boards to
follow is to submit to the people at
the annual meetings such IA rate a. on
last years valuation will produce the
revenue needed for maintaining the
schools. The State Board of Equali.
zatiOn will no doubt act before April

or trcblcd. School Boards can ask
that the proposition submitted be de-
tcatcd, and then submit a new pro-
position at Special election. How
ever, If valuations are not materially
increased, nothing less than the

Constitution will bc sufficient to keep
the schools going at even Il minimum
