cause they think the preponderant sentiment Of the Amer

For several years past many efforts have been bent in
the direction Of agreements that would enable the wheels
to turn while wage and hours Of labor contentious
being adjusted Many forms Of mediation arbitration and

up to now there has been positive and unacceptable
command to keep moving while comforting. Fear Of
nationwide railroad strike and comprehension of the calam

strikes Absolutely.
There is precedent long the railroads remain

way that other government employees forbidden

Would such resentment among the millions Of
railroad workers the other millions Of union sypa

DATES TO BREED BEEF COWS
To Secure Uniform Herd Of Calves
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 q 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. 4
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 LIST to the 18th Of April Tor
calves Of junior rating.
