Better Cows.

In Professor F. W. Woll's report OF
the California State Dairy Cow Competi-
tion, he says: "The results reached will
our dairy farmers that improvement is
possible and will enable them to realize
larger returns for their investment and
labors than is now generally the case.
There never was preater need of adopt
ing modern methods of dairying than at
the present time nor better chances fol-
improvement, as farmers may readily
profit by the wonderful development OF
dairy cattle by using pure-bred bulls In
their herds"
Professor Woll is right In these state,
meuts and we trust that economic condi-
tions will drive forcibly home to the
minds Of men milking COWS the impor'
tanoe of better blood for dairy work.
he urges the adoption of the following
creed by the modern dairy farmer:
"A pure-bred dairy bull at the head OF
the herd. Disposal of all 'slackers' in
the herd. Feeding of the COWS so as to
secure the highest possible production
and net returns from the herd"
This should be the slogan of every
dairy farmer who desires to make profit
from dairyiDg.
There are those who would have US
believe that the dairy farmer should keep
an improbable COW, COW that does not
pay for the feed she consumes; but no
thinking man would ask another person
to keep an Improbable COW. 1t is the
low producing, Improbable cow that
depresses the price in dairy products
and, in the years gone by, has made
dairy products relatively cheaper than
other farm products. There is not only
direct loss in keeping the low produc'
ing COW but she helps to lessen the profit
of the good COW by cheapening her
product.

Why Grow Root Crops?

/. Because root crops are valuable
supplementary succulent feed for fall
and early winter feeding for live stock.
2 Because roots are especially val
uable In times when corn crop for ensi'
lage fails.
s. Because roots to q considerable
degree may be substituted for high
priced concentrates usually fed to live
stock.
4. Because certain sections by soil,
by climate, and by temper Of people are
admirably adapted to grow root crops.
8. Because roots are least affected
by frost, drouth, insect pests and fungus
diseases.
8. Because root crops will grow for q
longer period of time than grain crops
and will bridge over unfavorable condi
tions of weather and usually insure q
successful crop.
Z. Because the work of harvesting
comes when other farm crops are fairly
out of the way.
8. Because roots do not require extra
or expensive building for storage. Stor
age pits may be used to advantage.
8. Because roots will supply succu
lent feed to few head of cattle where
as yet it would be inadvisable or un'
profitable to construct sil0.
10. Because no special information
or skill is required to grow root crops

Curious Cities Of tho World.

Some curious cities of the world are
told about in Leslie's Weekly. Among
them is the remarkable town Of Curva.
Bolivia, built entirely on a curved
mountain top. One Of the most
peculiarly located towns In the world
Il this one. most aptly named Curva.
It Is situated high In the Bolivian
Andes and Is entirely confined to the
top Of hill.
In Patagonia, at the southern eI-
tremity Of South America, lumber OF
any kind Is extremely scarce. So the
town Of Puerto Madyrn, S3S miles from
Buenos Aires, is constructed entirely
Of tin and zinc. These are brought
down from the capital and are much
cheaper building materials than lum-
Der. The houses, roofs and walls are
built Of metal; the fences also are
constructed Of 1t, with wooden frame.
The curious town Of Newcastle, ia
maica, is located on the side Of a
hill in such way that none OF the
houses are on the same level. Even
In the graveyard, every tombstone
Is higher or lower than It's neighbors.

PARIS SEWERS OPEN TO 'N
SIGHT SEEING PARTIES
Famous In History and Literature
Have Been Closed Since Beginning
Of the War.

Paris, June (By MaiI-The "spring
opening" Of a sewer system might not
be looked ON everywhere as social
event, invitation to which would be
eagerly sought by distinguished guests
but the formal opening Of the Paris
sewers today was such an affair. Ad-
mission was by card only and i'm

eager applicants for the cards.
The sewers of Paris, which are ia
nous in both history and literature,
have bean closed since the beginning
of the world war. In the meantime
thousands Of Americans have applied
In vain for permission to inspect the
sewers-some of them civil engineers
interested in the structural problems
worked out In the system, some OF
them students of literature who
wished to inspect the places In which
Jean Vatican had hid from injustice
Since the war ended, sightseeing
has been one Of the biggest Jobs OF
the welfare societies in Paris. The
Y.MCA alone entertains 10000 mem

places closed to the general public

The Making Of Red Pyle Rooster.

Tho Making Of Red Pyle Rooster.
The Red Pyle is breed of fowl with
certain curious markings not found In
other breeds. The most typical and
striking marking of the rooster 10 the
brilliant rcd feathers of the wing bows
contrasted with the white body. This
marking of the red patch of feathers on
q white bird 10 of considerable interest
to the poultry fanoier and the breeder OF
show birds.
As side result In other Investigations
In the inheritance OF poultry characters
the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion has been able to resolve into its
component parts the way In which this
at this station consisted Of Brown Leg
horn rooster mated to White Leghorn
hen. The males In this CROSS carried the
Red Pyle pattern. In terms OF the

nant color not following sex, whereas
the red on the wings depended on the
red color which was transmitted along
with the sex to give the bright red feath-
er In this one spot on each wing. BY
selection this color can be intensified.
1t may be thought that any white bird
might do for the cross. Such Is not the
case. There are In poultry three kinds

offspring. The other white like that OF
the White Leghorn Is dominant pro-
ducing on crossing q bird which is al
most all white. It Is only this dominant
white that will on crossing give this red
winged white male.
The Red Pyle breed belongs to the
games. The original cross in the max.
ing of this breed undoubtedly occurred
between the white featbered games and
the red feathered games. From these
performed at the station
certain conclusions can be drawn regard
ing the Inheritance of these colors in
games. The white of the white game
must on crossing to colored birds pro
duce white offspring. The red must be-
have very much like the red of the
Brown Leghorn. Such repetition of the
same color from breed to breed is of
good deal of interest. The combination
Of these two separately inherited colors
into most strikingly colored breed Is
promising OF even more interest -Chas.

cheeks she looked at her strong young
son standing 90 straight beside her
and knew that he, too, was willing to
shed his blood for his country.

her he had enlisted-but for the sor.

and blood that must be shed before

Madeline saw more than that. Her
heart stood still as she thought she
caught a sight of a familiar figure In
charge Of the men. She had never seen
Hereford in uniform-still the lieu
tenant looked very much like him. The
soldiers were soon out Of sight and
Madeline, with a sigh, decided her
heart had deceived her, and that her
lover was still in Hawaii and she was
long ago forgotten.
Those men belong to the tank
corps" said Tom Drisko. II have been
reading about them. They are mostly
picked men. There are several Olym-
pic champions among them, and one OF
the greatest electricians In the world
has given up an income Of 100000
year to become private In the tank
corps. They are splendid lot of
men. I am going to try for 1t myself"
The Driskos were to leave early the
next day. That same evening Made
line started from the hotel to get a
magazine from the little newsstand
across the circle. It was Saturday
night, and the streets were crowded
with men in uniforms. In the tea
rooms and drug stores one could see
them in scores eating Ice cream and
drinking soda water.
"Isn't 1t a funny thing that a SOL
der is always hungryT remarked
young officer to another as they were
strolling around the circle.
Madeline looked up. The voice-she
had heard 1t before and It startled her
out Of her usual poise.
Recognition was instantaneous and
all the pride and resentment were for
gotten as though they had never ex'
listed.
Madeline exclaimed Hereford,
his handsome face aglow with sudden
Joy.
"Herefordw saspsd Madeline, meek

"Come with me dear" he said, and
forgetting his companion he took Made
lines arm and guided her down a
quiet street. They sat on the steps
Of a church and poured out their
young hearts in love and contrition,
for they had nothing to quarrel about
In the first place.
Saying good night in the hotel par
lor, Hereford asked:
my dearest, you know we expect
to leave very soon for the other side.
Is there anything you would Like me

Followed delightful days Of love ant
sunshine-then came the quarrel.
All over a trivial matter, too-as arr
most lovers quarrels. Hereford, aston

fused to listen. Hereford stumblef
home in the moonlight with his brie1
dream Of love destroyed.
Madeline nursed her pride and woult
not send for him. Then Mr.. Langdor
sent his son on trip to another island
to be gone week.
Hereford held to the hope that Made
line would be in a lenient mood BY
the time of his return.
She, not hearing from him, became
angrier than ever and would not lis

generous heart.
Several days after Hereford's de-
parture, which was unknown to Made
line, Tom Drisko received telegram
calling him to San Francisco on urgent
business. They left at once.

Hereford explain. The remembrance
of his grieved look and his sad eyes
hurt her conscience and kept her from
sleeping.
"I will find a cable from him when
we land" she sai6 to herself. This
thought was source Of great conso-
lation, and she began to be almost
happy.
When they arrived at San Fran
cisco and found no word from Here
ford, she was angry with herself for
having capitulated even II Hereford
didn't know 1t.
Hereford had lived on the hope that
his sweetheart would relent and let
him explain when he returned, which
he knew he could do II she would only
listen.
The blow fell. The Driskos had left
DAYS before, and there was no word
for him. Many times afterward, when
he would have been glad to again beg
Madeline to listen to him he did not
know how to reach her, as the family
had planned to travel In Mexico.
Then came the entrance OF the
United States into the war.
Hereford strongly patriotic always,
had an additional reason for enlistfng

means Of forgetting his lost love In
work, the more dangerous the better.
Madeline had been on q feverish
