COOPERATE in BUILDING
UP THE DAIRY HERD
Bull Associations Are Means of Pro.
viding Purebred slres as
Small Expense.

A farmer who owns only few
cows may not find it expedient to pur.
chase a high-priced pure-bred bull;
but where there are a number OF
such farmers in community, owning
cows of the same breed often they
will find it profitable to organize a
cooperative bull association and pur
chase one or more pure bred sides,
say the dairy specialists of the Elk.
tension Division, Louisiana State
University.
cooperative bull associations are
formed by the farmers for the joint
ownership, use, and exchange of pure
bred bulls. The purchase price ant
cost of maintenance are distributed
according to the number OF cows
owned by each, thereby giving the
farmer an opportunity to build uI
his herd without great expense. The
organization also helps it's members
q to market dairy stock and dair,
products, to fight contagious dis
eases of cattle .ntelligently, and il
other ways to assist in improving tht
dairy industry.
The bull association does not Civ,
something for nothing, but with al
outlay of $50 or less can furnish
share in Ave pure bred bulls. Th.
bulls cannot increase the production
Of the cows in a herd, but they ma.
double the production of thei
daughters.

DOMESTIC SERVICE
COURSES PLANNED
Trained Home Maker IS to Have
an Eight Hour Day and Stand
ard Minimum Wage.

l& >. Ia 3 / 45
Courses for training home assist
ants, who will go into the home by the
day, hour or week and work on
schedule Of hours and fixed wages,
have been inaugurated by the Young
Women's Christian Association as q
means for meeting the problem OF do
mestic service. Z
as The OBJ 1ect OF this course. now being
tried out in New York City, Is to place
domestic service on the same dignihed
basis as clerical work, trained nursing
or other professions open to women.
The home assistant will work eight
hours a day for salary of SIS a week.
She will not live in the home OF her
employer or take her meals there. She
will have an hour for luncheon, when
she can 60 to restaurant or eat q
lunch which she has brought with her
lust as she would were she employed
in a factory. The employer will not
address the home worker by her first
name. She will be Miss Smith or Mrs.
Brown, as the case may be.
Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are ap-
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation
hours, places Of eating and living as
the factory girl, house-work has
greater appeal, as being less monoto-
nous and more interesting worH to the
| average woman.
