The pure-bred or ''high-grade' COW
resulting from wise breeding produces
more milk, richer in butterfat, than
the ordinary scrub COW. The depart
ment of agriculture cites an instance
of boy who bought a high-grade cow
His father owned five cows of the
kind commonly kept in that neighbOr-
hood in New Jersey. The boys one
high-grade COW produced more milk
and butter than his fathers five cows.
The proper breeding of beef ami
mails results in better and more uni
form stock, having a greater percen-
tage Of desirable cuts of meat and a
smaller quantity of bone, Offal, and
inedible parts. The same is true of
hogs, sheep, goats, poultry. All of
these things have been scientifically
worked out by the department of agri-
culture, and the effort is now to be
made to put them in operation on 8
nationwide scale.
Until recently, such crusade would
not have been possible. The neces
sary machinery has been perfected
within the past few years. Included
in that machinery are the count!
agents, the farm bureaus, and ever
the boys and girls clubs that hav,
aided so greatly in getting a founda

features of the national crusade for
the improvement of all classes of live

Plan simple enough to be easily fol

Federal departments chief interest
will be to reinforce work of states
and counties mot to concern itself
with local details.
Departments energies mainly along
educational lines. although many sug-
gestions of legislation against scrub
sires have been made.
Plan includes everyone who keeps
any kind of domestic live stock, from
the boy or girl with a few chickens
to the extensive ranchman or breeder
of live stock.
Scrub purebred sires as well as COM
mon scrubs should be eliminated.
Feeding and care fully as lmp0r-
tant as good breeding.
Local agricultural leaders in every
community to decide whether cam
paign shall be intensive or conducted
slowly.
| Department to keep records OF prog
ress by counties and announce results
periodically. States to be furnished
with records, which they may keep al
they desire.
Emblens to be furnished keepers o.

YOUNG ANIMALS NEED CARE
They Should Be Given Such Attention
as Will Insure Them Most
Favorable Start.

The young animals should require
such care and attention as will give
them a favorable start. Every practi-
cal animal husbandman knows that
unless he Is In position to give his
vopng animals plenty of the right
kind of feed and protect them from
cool rains and other animals they will
not thrive. This is where q good be-

APPLY MANURE IN ORCHARDS
Failure of Many Trees to Produce
Fruit Is Due to Lack Of Necessary
Plant Food.

Undoubtedly the failure, or partial
faiI,lre of many fruit trees to bring
forth crop is due to lack Of plant
food Professional orchardists look
after this matter. but the average
farmer who has few trees, which ne

giyes scant heed to providing them
with fertility. He may turn the sheep
or the calves in among them but such
fertility as they add is apt to be OF

courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada's war in

the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De

found American industry failed them
they were able to turn to Canada. The

"It is a new Canada that emerges
from the world war in 1o1S-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914
'"The war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than $4,000 of her
braveSt sons lie in soldiers graves in
Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
by wounds. The cost of the war in
money is estimated to be already

losses for country of 5000, 900 people.
Fortunately there is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself in this war
She has discovered not merely the gall
lantry of her soldiers, but the brains
and capacity and efficiency of her
whole people. In every branch, in
