MARSHALL FocH MASTER
OF SITTING TIGHT

IN recent Issue OF the house maza-

there appeared an editorial entitled
I"Sitting Tight, inspired by the great
human qualities Of Marshal Foch. A
copy of the magazine was sent to the
Marshal who has acknowledged It by
inditing on his personal card this
message: "Sinceres remerciements, I"

"Silent, sincere and Master of Sit

only few months back that the Ger

days the whole world somewhat quer-

"Foch has heart as wellsas brains.

DATES TO BREED BEEF COWS
Definite Time Of Year Should
Be Decided Upon.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
In order TO have a uniform herd of
calves, cows should be bred at def
mite time of year with this point In
view. For fall and early winter calves
(November and December), cows
should be bred during February and
March. For spring calves February
and March), which in most cases Is a
more desirable date to have the calves
dropped. the cows should be bred dur
ing May and June. Where milk for
family use during winter months Is
not an important consideration cows
may be more cheaply wintered, and
calves escape flies and hot weather
when dropped at that time. In all
breeding operations pure-bred sires
only should be used.
Breeders of pure-bred cattle. who
desire to grow calves for exhibition.
should breed their cows from the LIST
TO the 18th of December to produce
calves of senior classification. and
from the 1st to the 18th of April for
calves of junior rating.

Salem. Ore.-Whale milk may some
day settle the question of milk supply
for Oregon, according to State Veter-
marian Lyle, who is entirely serious
in the matter.
1.-THE milk shortage" said Mr.. Lyle,

ticating the whale. With the whole
Pacific ocean as a farm the domesti-
Gated whale would put the Oregon
dairy business on mammoth scale.
Whales are mammals, each of which
furnishes about barrel of milk at a
milking, and while at present they are
a little too shy to be exactly classed
as easy mixers, some day they will
be domesticated."
Doctor Lytle suggests placing a
sheep or two on every lawn In Oregon
as a more immediate means of curing
the milk and wool shortage.
"A good sheep Of long or medium

Iondon.-One of the greatest perils
20 allied submarines during the war
was attack by friendly destroyers. A
submarine was assumed to be an enc

allied nation and it was up to the sub
marine to show recognition signals If
she was not German.
But If 1t was destroyer that sight

recognition signals could be shown. A
slight hitch In getting up a flag or fir
ing rocket would mean the subma-
rine would be forced to seek safety
beneath the surface.
Probably the last attack of this sort
was made by American destroyers on
a new British submarine of a large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system. and

Washington.-While educators have
spoken of what education ought TO DO,
and have pr0pounded theories the bur-
den of which has been that education
and life should be synonymous, one
part of the United States has been ex-

practice. In Alaska each schoolhouse
is a social center for the accomplish

buildings, in addition to the recitation
room, contain also kitchen, quarters
of the teacher, and laundry ana
baths for the use of the native COM

This work is carried on under the
supervision of the bureau Of education,
and the details of current operation
are reported upon by William Hamil-

approximately $4,000 natives In vii
lagos ranging from 80 or 40, up to 300
or 400 persons, scattered along thou
sands of miles of coast line and on the
great rivers. Some Of the villages on
remote islands or beside the frozen
ocean are brought into touch with the
outside world only once or twice
year, when Visited by United States
coast guard steamer on its annual
cruise, or by the supply vessel sent
by the bureau of education.

the exception of those on the southern
coast, are reached only by trails over

In spite Of the difficulties of the

has been established in each of sew
enty villages. In many instances the
school is the only elevating power in
the community.

ERADlCATING STOCK DISEASE
Bull Associations Play Important Part
in Combating Ailments of Dairy
Cattle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agraculture)
Cooperative bull associations play
a considerable part in combating dis
eases of dairy stock. While morgan
tied dairy farming operations have a
tendency to spread abortion, tubercu-
losis and other communicable diseases,
the policy of the bull associations
works in the opposite direction. For
example, an Iowa association will not
allow any of it's members to receive
the benefits of the association until his
herd has been tested for tuberculosis
and all reactors eliminated. One
farmer who did not dispose of the re-
actors after the tuberculin test was
applied was refused the use of bulls
until he complied with the rules of the
association.
The educational work of each asso-
citation makes the members alert to
prevent the introduction ad spread OF
disease of any kind. The well-man-
aged bull association requires that the
cattle of each member shall be tested
for tuberculosis and takes every
known precaution to prevent the intro
duction of infectious abortion.

KEEP ALL DAIRY COWS CLEAN
Dirty Udders and Thighs Cause Di-

Soap and Water.

By p X. HEERWAGEN, State Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
Clean milk is impossible If the cows
are not kept clean. Dirty udders and
thighs cause direct contamination of
the milk, for clinging dirt particles are
rubbed off into the milk by the mixer.
The tail in switching will brush off
particles from the thighs and TANKS
into the pail. The udder should be
brushed clean with brush or clean
cloth previous to milking. 1t is advis-
pble to wash off the TANKS and thighs
occasionally with soap and water and
It is recommended to wash the udder
off every time previous to milking and
dry thoroughly with clean cloth.
Some dairymen keep headquarters
clipped, which is a good practice, for
then these parts are easier kept clean.
