Selecting q Breed.

In the Farmers Bulletin s93, Mr.. 81.
P. Davis gives An interesting discussion
of the origin and characteristics Of the
various dairy breeds. He enumerates
the factors which should be considered
in the selection of breed and gives
special emphasis to the Importance OF
keeping the breed of cattle which is
most common In the community.
We quote from Mr.. Davis, as follows:
every often the benefits of co-opera-
tive effort are lost through the exercise
of an Unborn spirit of Independence.
Consequently it frequently happens that
In the selection of breed no considera-
ton is given to the fact that breed al
ready may be established in the locality.
The predominance of certain breed In
q community offers many advantages.
A market is established which, because
of the availability Of large numbers OF
animals, attracts buyers from distance,
especially those who buy large consign-
ments. Under such circumstances all
surplus stock may be disposed OF to
better advantage and cooperative ad,
vsrtising also may be used effectively
10 addition, bulls may be bought CO.
operatively or exchanged with facility,
thus very materially reducing the cost OF
service in the herd.
"Any necessary additions to the herd
can be obtained, without expense for
travel, from neighbors' herds with
whose history the buyer is thoroughly
familiar. These advantages apply not
only to the breeder of pure-bred cattle
but also to the owner of grades"

Fall Calves.

Because more milk would be produc.
ed In the year and calves would be
raised cheaper, farmers find 1t most
profitable to have their cows freshen In
the fall months. Cows bred In Decem-
ber will calve in early fall.
The COW gives large dow OF milk at
the beginning Of the period OF lactation.
In the spripg the milk yield, which grad.
ually falls of, 10 suddenly increased
when the COW 10 turned on fresh pasture.
Calves born In the fall need mainly
milk and eat little grain during the
period of winter feeding. When spring
comes they are ready to be turned on
pasture. Spring calves consume milk
and grain during the cheap pasture
season and require the same high priced
feeds during the following winter, when
they are older and thus eat more: .Tne
faii-borp calf ct the same age needs only
pasture, with possibly little grain.

Save Crop by Spraying.

(s.P. Hollister, Connecticut College)
The 1918 peach crop has been killed 10
New England. The apple must take the
place to large extent, although some
peaches will be shipped In from other
states. Early apples in particular will
be in great demand and If the growers
are to have supply OF high grade
apples they must make plans to spray
and spray thoroughly. Last seasons
results showed plainly that the growers
who sprayed were the ones who had the
high grade fruit, and it was the excep-
tion to find grower who did not spray
with any fruit at all on his trees.
The plan of campaign must be decided
upon at once, for now Is the time to
order spray materials, and 1t Is impos-
sible TO order until you know about
how much material you are likely to
use. The question, "Where there is NO
scale, should apple trees be sprayed
while dormantp" which was discussed
at the recent pomologicsl meeting,
brought out the answer from the larger
grow era that they could not afford not
to spray; that the delayed dormant
spray with lime-sulphur was important
to control sphis and apple scab. Re-
member that this applies only to apples;
peaches must have the spray at least
two weeks before the buds open.
Thus If you plan to spray once with
the dormant spray, and twice after the
petals fall, figure for your materials on
that basis. If apple scab has been
serious in your orchard the "pink"
spray should be given in addition to the
others mentioned. Let us assume that
you are going to use lime-sulphur solu'
tion for your dormant spray, using
about five gallons to each Darrei Oh
spray mixture. Then for summer
sprayings you could use IL at the rate OF
about one gallon to 80 of the mixture;
now knowing the number Of gallons or
barrels of spray mixtuSNit takes TO
spray your orchards each time, 1t 10
fairly easy to estimate how much OF the
material you should order. Be certain
to get enough, you may want to give an
extra spraying.
This summer applications must con.
tain poison. If you use arsenate OF
lead, 1t requires two or three pounds OF
the paste or half this amount OF the
powder for each 80 gallons OF spray
material. Either form is effective, but
II one wishes to have supply on hand
and perhaps carry 1t over until next
season, the powdered form, II kept dry,
will be tho easier to keep.
II Indications are that aphis are
