ter of Hood Farm Torono. The dam
of the bull was not tested this year but
has been milking 80 TO 81 pounds of
5.5 per cent milk day--two milkings
with first calf. She will be tested
next year. The sire of the bull is
Hillside Emperor, grandson of Hood
Farm Torono and Pogis Goth OF Hood
Farm, so that he traces to those two
sires on both his sire and his dam
side.
In order to bring out the facts in
regard to the breeding of these two
bulls sent to Idaho it is obvious that
the names of their various ancestors,
together with their records, will have
to be mentioned from time to time. In
doing so IL is not to be assumed that
the dairy division indorses these ami
mails as being necessarily the best
animals of their respective breeds,
and IL is not expected that these re-
marks will be used for such purpose.
Closely Inbred Holstein Bull.
The breeding of the Holstein bull is
unique in that he Is so closely inbred
His sire and his dam carry S7.5 per
cent the same blood. The sire is son
of Friend Hengerveld De Kol Butter
Boy, the sire of Banostlne Belle De
Kol, loss pounds fat; Highlawn Har-
tog De Kol, 99S pounds fat; Daisy
Grace De Kol. 962 pounds fat; Spotted
AIMS Daughter, S71 pounds fat. The
dam is also daughter of this same
sire. The sire of the bull is out of a
daughter of Pontiac Aaggie Korndyke,
four daughters over 900 pounds fat, as
is also the dam of the bull, while. the
great granddams on both the sire and
the dams side are by Friend Henger-
weld De Kol Butter Boy. The bull GO
ing to Idaho traces to this latter sire
four times, twice on the sires side and
twice on the dams side. and traces
twice to Pontiac Aaggie Korndyke,
once on the sire's side and once on the
dams side.
On account of the length of time re-
quired to complete such an expert
ment, results will not be known for a
long time, but when the work is finally
completed the conclusions arrived at
should be of real value.

PRODUCTION OF LIVE STOCK
Among Essentials Are Tight Fields,
Permanent Pastures and Leguml-
nous Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Where live stock is a factor on the
farm, make every field hog-tight and
sheep-tight; have thoroughly good per-
manent pastures; grow leguminous
crops; build silo, and keep only pure
bred males. These five things are alb
solutely essential in the economical
production Of live stock. OF course
this program calls for some labor and
expense. but the permanent condition
Of prosperity in the sections devoted
to livestock production is proof Of the
good profit derived therefrom.

Children's Parties.

Along with Thanksgiving and the
holidays come children's parties. The
youngsters are entitled to good times
during their vacations and 1t takes
only small effort and outlay to make
party for the little folks brilliant
success. Instead of the florist one may
patronize the paper department In
the shops for decorations, and for
favors there are the little toys. birds,
animals, dolls, ETC., that delight the
guests and cost next to nothing.
Pasteboard and tissue paper viii do
marvellous things for the children's
party.
Mother Goose stories furnish n fund
of suggestions that delight the small
people who are familiar with them.
"Goldilocks and the Three Bears"
may give n party. for instance, with
three children dressed up to repre-
sent the bears. Little homemade
Teddy bears for favors. and candy
bears on the cake will make the party
memorable. "Red Riding Hood and
Wolf" could give a party and In a
basket of red apples, each apple hol-
lowed out little. tiny toys or trinkets
win surprise the guests. Mr.. Squlr-
rel. at his party, will have English wal
nuts. each containing something unex-
pected, and cake that is covered and
filled with nuts. Center pieces for the
table will suggest themselves to the
grown-ups.
Home made candles are best for
little people. Butter scotch. fudge,
peanut brittle and glace nuts and fruits
make mp heavenly and harmless col
lection of these. Following are re-
sipes for making them:

lean meat Is of pinkish color and the
fat is uniform, white and brittle. The
cuts of meat are thick and compact
and have fair percentage of fat. The
bones are small and inclined to be
soft.
The good" grade resembles "cholce"
In most respects but may lack some Of
the essential points. The amount OF
fat may be less and 1t may not be SO
evenly distributed. The color of the
lean meat is the same as In "cholce,"
but In each case the retail cut of meat
must show that the animal was In n
well-nourished condition at the time of
slaughter. This Is indicated by the
firmness of the meat and liberal
amount OF fat.
The Lower Grades.
The medium" grade represents the
next lower quality, and the principal
point which determines this grade Is n
lack OF outside and inside fat. The
lean meat has a duh appearance and
lacks the firmness found In the two
higher grades. The lean meat also
frequently has a watery appearance.
The bones are usually small but the
percentage of meat is much lower than
In the better grades.
The common" grade is the lowest
grade usually found in the markets.
The meat has every appearance Of the
animal having been poorly fed. Tho
bones are prominent and the percent
age Of meat Is very small. The almost
entire lack Of fat is strikingly notice.
able. The small percentage Of lean
.neat has a flabby appearance and is
dull In color.

In the quest OF midwlnter coats, we
find that salespeople quote, with mad

one knows better than they, that good

as high as the Himalayas, and good
fur coats landed far out of reach Of

two coats that belong to class az

In the matter of Initiating natural
furs the looms have achieved such a
triumph that 1t takes palnstaking
scrutiny TO tell which Is which, at a
little distance from the eye. Excellent
fur fabrics have outclassed cheap furs
for some time. in point of beauty and
they excel nearly all furs in durability.
Their wearing qualities are amazing.
The two coats pictured are made of
fur fabrics that initiate natural furs-
sealskin and caracul. 1t will be seen
