KEEPERS DROP FIRST CALF
According to Experiment Carried on at Maryland College Thirty
 Months Is Best Age.

About thirty months was found to be the best age for Ayrshire heifers to drop their first calf, according to an experiment carried on at the Mary land Agricultural college. If the calves were dropped six months ear Her, the milk flow was lessened con- sfderably, but if dropped six months later the decrease was slight. This will vary for the breeds according to size; the smaller the breed type, the shorter the time. Eckles of Minnesota found that this variation would be three to five months which would bring the minimum age for Jerseys and Guernseys about twenty-five months and for Holsteins, thirty months. This is for well-developed animals.

Although Apparently Healthy These , Animals Are Positive Reactors to ] the TubercuIln Test.
 as to. admit to certiflcation grade herds in addition to registered cattle. \ The annual conference between rep resentatives of the United States Live Stock Sanitary association and the Purebred Cattle Breeders association resulted in the further indorsement of the tuberculosis eradication campaign and a recommendation that the work be extended as rapidly as possible.
 The accredited-herd plan is to test cattle with tuberculin at the request of the owner, eliminate any reacting animals either by slaughter or by fol- lowing prescribed sanitary measures, repeat the test at prescribed intervals, and list as tuberculosis-free accredited herds all herds entitled to that dis hnction.
 Very satisfactory progress has been made during the first year of the work, and prospects for the future are bright. During the year 296 herds, comprising 9,284 cattle, have been fully "accredited'' as free from tuber- culosis, and 1,462 herds, having 35,052 cattle, passed one successful test in preparation for certification. In addi- ton 4,622 herds, both purebred and grade, totaling 98,002 animals, have been under supervision for the eradi- cation of tuberculosis. Each month additional herds are added to the list.

CONSTRUCT POOL IN GARDEN
In Added Attractiveness 1t Is Worth All the Time and Trouble
 That It Entails.

very interesting and attractive garden pool can be made with little hard work and al small expense. and where the garden is sufficiently large the pool adds wonderfully to the artistic make up.
 In an amateurs garden recently the owner was caught in the act of put ting on the finishing touches of the pool and it's decorations.
 The garden was in the rear of the house and the pool was in the left hand corner at the rear. Not in the extreme rear corner, as back of il was a bed of iris arranged in semi circular form in front, bordering gravel walk. Back of this was bed of peonies and the corner was to be filled later with salvia, backed with cannas.
 The gardener had dug the pool him. self. It was about ten feet in diam eter and two feet six inches deep. In the bottom stones had been laid and the bottom and side covered with ee- ment.
 A rockery was made of a lot of large stones encountered in digging, with a few brought in from a neigh boring field to complete the work. The rockery was not in the center, but to one side at the rear of the pool. An iron pipe led off to the gutter ill the rear for an overflow
 The bottom was covered with odd stones that had been selected for the purpose on various motor trips in the country and gave natural appear ance to the pool.
 A few handfuls of frogs spawn had been gathered and placed in the pool, ferns and rushes had been planted and water lilies were to be set out later. after which few gold fish will be added.
 There is no fountain or inlet to the pool; the water is supplied by the lawn hose.
 This idea can be followed by gar deners, who find that the pool and bog garden not only adds to the beau- ty and interest of the garden. but it is source of considerable pleasure as well.

IMPORTANT FACTOR OF CITY
Nothing Really of Greater Moment Than the Question of Proper
 Transportation.

A city is big business institution. Not merely in the business it under takes of it's own, but rather in the part it plays in the business of the whole community.
 Take the comfort of it's citizens for instance During the war the lumber men found they had relatively little labor trouble in camps in which if WAS possible for families to live a normal, wholesome life. Schools, churches, medical attendance, amusementS-all entered into the labor problem.
 What was true in the camps is true in every city. The comforts available for people help to determine the busi- ness possibilities of the city
 Another important business factor is that of the traffic system. In addi ton to street railway transportation, there must be adequate trafficways to handle business. It must be possible for people to get quickly and easily from one part of the city to another and it must be possible to deliver goods readily.
 Would a large automobile plant be able to turn out it's enormous produc- ton of cars daily if it were cluttered up, if it's passageways were relatively as narrow and congested as those of Kansas City?-Kansas City Star.

INERT MATERIAL IN COAL

suggestion has been made by one Of the large anthracite coai operators that they be permitted to increase the percentage Of impurities Tn ihe coal by per cent more than the present standard, This means that 100000 additional tons of slate would be sent 10 market To transport this increased amount 6f impurities t0 market would require about 40, 000 railroad cars, heeesstatlng from two t0 ten weeks for it's delivery. The bureau of mines has estimated that the coal mined in the United States. in 1917. had an in crease of per cent. ns an average. in the amount of ash, taken for the &iioie country. Also. that this in crease in ash content meant an addi- tienal loss of 17h per cent in the ef- hctency of the power plant. Further more, in some of the mining districts there was a much higher increase in ash than is indicated by this average. As We mined and shipped 544.0OO.0Oo tons of coal in 1917. some 27,OOO,000 tons of this amount were inert mate rial.-Chieago Journal.
