| Believe in Better Bulls.

[Ed. Nordman is one of the big farmers of
Wiscon sin. He was appointed to represent ag-
riculture on the State Council OF Defense. he
has been legislator tor many years Ii every
movement to better Wisconsin he takes an ac-
tive part. This is a true story of his expert
ence.-EDIToR.I
Because of the prospect OF good
prices. due to large shortage OF cat
tie in the world, and for the further
reason that live stock farming makes
for permanent and prosperous agri-
culture, it would seem that now is
the time for Wisconsin farmers to
stock up to the limit of their capacity.
And while they are at it, why not
procure pure bred BRED for Produc-
ton" bulls to head their herds2 The
progeny from these bulls is vastly
more profitable than from animals of
inferior breeding. In the long run
the cost of one of these good pure
bred animals is not appreciably high
er than the cost OF scrub.
To cite my own experience which is
that of thousands of farmers: Many
years ago purchased pure bred bull
Of the breed that am now raising. l
was able at the end of two years to
sell this bull for more than paid for
him. From that day to this, the
money / paid for this first bull has
kept me to pure bred bulls. In The
meantime. I have raised hundreds of
heifers from these bulls that have i'm
proved from one generation to anoth-
er until now when heller calf is
dropsed she is certain, with the prop
er raising, to become an exceptionally
good cow. One of the big puzzles OF
our time, it seems to me, is the fact
that 50 many otherwise intelligent
farmers will continue to use scrub
bulls that produce nothing but scrub
cattle. With hardly any difference in
the cost they might have pure bred
bulls that produce fine looking cattle
which are credit to their owners as
well as a source of profit.

He Never Took a Vacation.

He never took a vacation, he hadn't
the time, he said.
It was off to grind in the morning;
1t V as home and the papers and bed;
Twas the desk, or the Office, or coun-
ter,
Where he fought out his battles with
men;
He would work just few years long
er,
Then quit, "eake it easy and them
So he toiled and he mailed and strug-
gled,
Nor knew that the gods Of gain
Drank deep of the wine he protfered,
The blood of his heart and brain;
Nor knew while he piled up his mil
lions,
And gathered his bags OF gold,
His friends said at forty ''he's aging"
At fifty they said che is old +"
He never took vacation, and at six
ty they read his will;
His day for retiring from business
Death wrote in codicil;
And pinned on the door of his office
Was a notice which grimly read,
"Out of town-on a long vacation
Indefinite, +" it said.
