FARMERS UP COUNTY PLAN
FOR BLOOOED STOCK CATTLE
r. o. BAUSEMAN, AGRICULTURAL
AGENT FORMING BULL COMPANY

Cows and Heifers From Michigan and
Blooded Herds Now Located to
be Basis for Fine Breeds
R. o. Bausman, county agent, an
nounces that within the last few
months fifty head of pure breed Hol-
stein cows and thirty-five head of
pure bred heifers have been imported
into New Castle county. Moreover,
several farmers already have a few
pure bred cows on their farms. Re-
Gently a great number of inquiries
have been received in regard to
bull to which these cows will be bred.
The average pure bred COW in the
county is worth from two hundred
fifty to three hundred dollars. To be
systematic, these cows should be bred
to five or six hundred dollar bull.
As the average farmer is not in a
position to invest this amount in one
bull the only practical solution is the
buying of one comparatively through
county bull association.
The New County Bull Association
will be made up of several blocks or
units at different points over the
county. Each block will be composed
of from four to seven farmers, de-
pending upon the size of their herds.
The maximum number of cows in a
block will be eighty head The mem
bers of each blotk will reside within
a community so that each farmer will
not be more than a mile from the
center of the block were the bull
will be kept. There will probably be
five of these blocks in the county with
approximately a $500 bull in each
block, at cost of around 500 per
farmer, depending upon the size of
his herd. Although the association
is organized essentially for these
farmers having pure bred stock, yet
there is no more practical way o1
building up grade herd, and several
men with grade herds are expected il
the association. The average farmer
in the association has but one or two
pure bred cows, so that a good por
tion of the service he receives from
the bull will be on his grade cows.
At the end of two years each blocl
will have heifers that cannot be bret
back. Each block will exchange bulls
according to rules of the association
with no additional cost to the farmer
In two more years another chang
will be made, and until every bloc
has had the service of every bull i
= the association it will mean that eac
member of the association will be pro
vided the service of a bull for te
years, having the privilege Of breed
ing to five $500 bulls, a service Q
$250O, for the original cost of $40
or $3.50.
This is the only practical propOsi
tion that will enable a farmer
purchase the class of stock that wi
command big prices. Probably ever
dairy center of note has attained il
fame through the use of associate
bulls. The greater portion Of tt
Michigan cattle imported were sire
by and bred to association bulls.

nineteen years old today they do not
have to prepare the QUESTIONABLE.
"The registrants age on September
IL. 1918. the last registration day, is
the age that counts, and any man
-vho was eighteen years old on that
day and who has received ques-
tionnaire should see to it that it is
properly executed.
Failure to understand this does
not excf1se 4 man. II he fails to re-
urn his questionnaire properly TILED

The Ill Wind.

! The influenza went its way,
and slew its legions every day,
as dire thing as war, and,
while they. WINGED beneath the
rods, men clamored to their
divers gods. .'What did you send
it for?. What is the use of a
disease that makes men cough
and whoop and sneeze until they
break their necks? What
profits it to spring an i'll that
fills the pesthouse on the hill
with CHASTITY human wrecks :"
Sometimes we cannot see the
i plan behind the rod that chastens
man, and 50 we idly kick; why
shouldn't. life be endless bliss,
why should we suffer that and
this, and why be sore and sick?
The influenza came along just
when our statesmen, going
strong, were primed for the
campaign; they had their
speeches learned by heart, and
they'd turn out, with graceful
art, their doctrines safe and
sane: Windjammers here, wind
tanners there, were suffering
to paw the air, and make the
welkin reel; the voters, shud-
Idering with dread, looked on
the carnival ahead, of argument
and spiel. Then came the flu,
and crowds were banned; all
public meetings in the land had
the verboten sign; the candi-
dates could only take the
speeches they were primed to
make, and put them down in
brine. Yet people cry, "What
is the use. of pestilence that
cooks our goose and puts US on
the blink? They have not
learned to analyze, they have
not learned to use their eyes,
they have not learned to think.

reaus here are said to be stranded

mote from Washington. had been

POST OFFICE SETS
GIFT MAIL DATES
Schedules Proposed Are to
Insure Delivery by

Christmas mailing schedules to insure
delivery Of gifts by Christmas were an
nounced today by the city post office as
follows: Far west, December 10; south
west. December IL; middle west, Decem-
ber 70: south, December 1S, and east
december II.
Christmas gifts sent from the Ma
tiona1 Capital to any of the sections OF
the country designated should be mailed
by the date specified in the schedule, il
is warned. if the sender wants to feel
sure that the recipient will get the gift
on Christmas morning.
Earlier Than Last Year.
The schedules are about five days in
sdyance of schedules used last Christ
mas season. Already the amount OF
marcel post mail passing through the
Washington city post office is larger
than during Christmas week last sea-
son. War conditions have made the
aituation such that officials feel called
Upon to ask every possible cooperation
of the public.
Observance of the schedules will be
facilitated. it is believed. by the scheme
sponsored by the city post Office known
IS the "one-bundie Christmas gift for
one town." whereby all gifts for one town
are mailed i'll one package, and dis
tributed on Christmas day by some
friend.
One may mark package, Don't
open until Christmas" but that only
urges the curious to open beforehand.
and if mailed so far in advance the
curiosity sometimes gets the better
OF one. BY mailing all the gifts for
cne town. however in one package,
there is only one person who may
:uccumb to the temptation OF opening
the gifts until Christmas.

"Col. House-the Man of Mystery"
Some people, who are not well ac-
quainted with Col. House or the his
tory of his life. speak of him as a
man of mystery" said DR.. Gordon.
'Those who have known him all his
life see nothing mysterious about
him. His charming personality has
nified but gracious reserve. His al
most steely blue eyes look right
through you, but not unlSind1y.
DR.. Gordon declared Col. House has
an amazing insight into any political
or diplomatic problem and a natural
gift of constructive forecast. He Is
master of detail, which is true
genius" he said, "and he has a mar
velous power of prophecy as well as
of earnest warning.

dent Wilson should sit. at the peace
table:
Because the peace table marks ab-
solutely a new chapter in the his
tory of the world.
Because the presence of our Presi-
dent there would signify that Amer
lea has become world power.
Because he. in the proportions OF
his fame. has become a world char
acter.
| Because there is in Europe and
Great Britain q popular demand that
he be seen and heard. :
Because we owe such a presidential
pilgrimage to France and the mem
ory of Lafayette.
Literature Of Modern Democracy.
Because he. in his messages and
state documents, has written the lit
erature of modern democracy.
Because DR." Wilson, a., English
writer's speak of him. htly represents
the scholarship and Intellectual life
of the new world.
Because his presence in Bucking-
ham Palace will publicly announce
the unity of all English-speaking
peoples.
Because he carried the burden and
deserves the honor.
