An Ayrshire Which Won Worlds
Record for Milk Production.

have long horns which turn outward,
then forward, then upward. Quick,
brisk actions are characteristic of the
animals which seem always to have an
abundant store of energy, and to be
exceptionally alert. Ayrshres have a
highly nervous disposition, which is
useful both for production and self
support. Probably none Of the other
dairy breeds can compare with the
Ayrshires in ability to obtain a liveli-
hood on scant pastures. Their ability
as ''rustlers" has made them very use
full in sections where there Is much
rough land in pasture Cows Of this
breed average 1000 pounds In weight,
and bulls average about 1000.
Another point Of which breeders
Of the Ayrshire are very proud Is the
uniform, square, level udder with long
body attachment which Is common
among the cows.
Milk from Ayrshire cows contains
comparatively little color and has the
fat in uniformly small globues which
average smaller In size than for any
other breed. The milk stands shipping
well without churning, and In other
respects 1t is well adapted to the mar
ket milk trade.
For Ayrshires the average of the
2,50S cows that have completed year
ly records for advanced registry Is
9,555 pounds of milk testing 395 per
cent of butterfat, amounting to 37751
pounds of fat. The ten highest milk
producers of this breed range from
25,320 to 1915 pounds of milk and
the average of these ten highest pro-
ducers is 21 1888 pounds of milk. The
ten highest butterfat producers among
Ayrshlres range from 05556 to 744.1S
pounds, with an average, for these
ten, of 1854 pounds of butterfat.

GARY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandm0ther's Old FavOrite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t al
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients for
about so cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as 1t does 1t SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is a delightful toll.

INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION
Supplies Food Material More Econom.
lcalIy Than Meat or Eggs
Efficient Dairy Cow

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgrculWre)
Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use of milk. The first is that
milk rs purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeth-
er with the growth producing elements
more economically than either meat or
eggs. The second reason is that the
dairy COW Is the most economical pro-
Queer of animal food. One great law
of food conservation is to turn inedlble
feeds into edible foods In the cheap
est possible manner. The dairy COW
will utilize coarse materials, inedible
by humans. such MS grass, cornstalks,
hay, etc, and will turn them into milk,
which Is suitable for human food.
Other farm animals also are convert
ers of coarse roughage into edible
foods, but are not so efficient as the
dairy cow.

RIGHT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
It Should Include Everything From
Expensive Concrete to Minor
Dirt Wagon Ways.

What we need and in time will have
Is a system Of highways which will
ramify from the largest cities to the
doorway Of the humblest citizen-vil-
lager or farmer. Such system of
highways will include trunk lines with
expensive concrete or brick surfaces
for the very heavy traffic, including
trucks and automobiles. Less used but
important roads may be of waterbOund
macadam or gravel. Perhaps in GER
tain regions where stone and gravel
are not at hand oiled roads may prove
most economical and practical. Minor
wagon ways must remain of native
soil, built and maintained with the
road drag. Meanwhile antagonism to
road dragging breeds in lack of in
formation or a narrowness which fails
to comprehend the facts.-D. Ward

GOOD
ROADS
TRACTOR AIDS ROAD MAKING
Successfully Used In New Hampshire
in Conjunction With Regulation
Road Machine.

In Atkinson, N. H., the farm tractor
has been successfully used in making
and preparing roads, doing away with
horses.
A 20-horse-power tractor, as shown
in the picture, was used in cOnjunc-
ton with the regulation road machine
for rounding off the surface of the
road and cleaning out cutters. It was
found that the tractor not only easily
does the work Of six or eight horses,
but better and in less time. Two men
only are required as compared with
four required with the former system.
Besides, double the ground is covered.
When the tractor is used with the
road drag, one man, driving the trac-
tor, can round up and smooth as much
state road in half a day as one man
with pair Of horses In one day and
half. The tractor hauls four to six

be made, If more than one roost Is

ARRANGEMENT OF HEN HOUSE
No Floor Needed Where Drainage ls
Good-Dropping Boards Should
Be Cleaned Daily.

prepared by the United States Depart

When the soil is well drained and
consequently will remain dry no floor
need be used in the poultry house, the
ground itself serving as the floor.
| Often slight dampness can be cor
rected by filling up the floor several
inches above the outside ground with
sand, cinders, gravel, or dry dirt.
Three or four inches Of the surface Of
the floor, and Of the run If very small
run is used, should be removed and re-
placed with fresh dirt two or three
times year. If the ground Is so wet
or damp that this condition cannot be
corrected by filling it Is best to provide
board floor, as this will help to keep
the house dry, will allow easier clean
ing and will promote the general
health and welfare of the hens. A
house with board floor should be set
on posts or blocks, so that it Is to II
inches above the ground When this
space is left the floor will not rot 80
quickly and rats are not so likely to
take refuge under the house.
In order to keep the flock in u clean
and sanitary condition, dropping
boards should be provided and r0osts
above them. This makes 1t easy to
remove the dropplngs each morning
