NO PLACE FOR SCRUB BULLS

Worse Than Worthless.

prepared BY the United States Depart

Bull associations, though few In
number, wage eternal warfare on the
scrub. The scrub bull has done much
damage in this country. He Is worse
than worthless. He lowers the pro-
duction of all future generations Of
the herd he heads. He cannot in
crease milk production even In a herd
of scrubs because, like them. he Is a
scrub. In a herd Of better breeding
the damage he may do Is almost limit
less.
The grade bull Is little better be-
cause, most Of his ancestors being
scrubs, he is certain to transmit scrub
qualities to his offspring. The grade
bull may have the form and color
markings of purebred, but. he lacks

A COW is pretty much q creature Of

getting her feed at q certain time each
day and II that time arrives without
the feed she worries about It and this
affects her milk production. For this
reason regularity In feeding Is very
important. Also watering and sailing
should be attended to punctually. And
the water should be good. It IL q mis-
take to require cows to drink tainted
water. for It certainly impairs the

Of the milk. The man who provides
properly for the wants of his cows
has right to expect that they will re-

TO BE GIVEN eth

sured Of Big Welcome.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-With the
announcement today that virtually the
complete strength of the 9th New
York national guard) division, has
been assigned for early convoy by
General Pershing, plans began to take
shape here for an adequate reception
to this first combat division to re-
turn. II it is found practicable to do
so, New York City will be given an
opportunity to see the organization
on parade at full strength, with its
fighting equipment, its recovered
wounded and its battle trophies be-
fore it is demobilized.
Secretary Baker reiterated today
his desire that wherever possible
either the full strength or substan-
tally portions Of the returning COM
bat divisions parade in large cities
in the section from which they came.
"For instance" said the secretary,
"the Blackhawk (S6th) division, comes
largely from Chicago | am hoping
to be able to work out plan by which
a substantial part of that division
can parade in Chicago, This division
will go to Camp Grant, which is con-
siderable distance from Chicago, and
the train arrangements for getting
the whole division to Chicago will be
very complicated, and perhaps inn
possible. One plan may be to have
lthe troops sent through the city first,
allowed TO detrain, parade and then
er.rsfn again for the camp, thus
breaking the railroad journey"

League Of Nations Now Chief
Subject.

Having disposed OF the Russian
question for the moment. the supreme
council OF the peace congress turned
today to the principal object OF its
work, the establishment Of league
of nations. This question promises
to command virtually the undivided
attention Of the delegates until their
action regarding Russia shows results
one way or another. As the Russian
delegates are not expected at Princes
islands until February IS. this means
that nearly the whole attention Of the
congress will be turned to the league
of nations until President Wilson's
departure for America.
Out Of the Russian negotiations il
Is hoped that some unanimous agree
ment will be reached that will bring
Representatives OF that country into
urther sessions at Paris. Delegates
OF all the associated government:
have expressed the opinion that a
secure peace can hardly be consid-
cred to have been made while Russia
remains on FIRE.
II is regarded as quite significant
in circles surrounding the peace con-
gress that it should be announced
that the first plan for a league Of
nations to be considered comes from
Premier Lloyd George of Grea,
lritain.
