EXPEDITE MOVEMENT OF cow
Every Effort Should Be Made to Pro-
vide Comfort fer Animals While
in Transit.
PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)

| ,Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Each fall an influx of springer or
fresh cows enters dairying sections
that seek more mich animals. Every
effort should be exercised to expedite
the railroad movement of the dairy
COWS during their time in transit and
10 provide all possible comfort for the
animals en- route, advise the dairy ex-
perts of the United States department
Of agriculture. Such care and atten-
hon will rednce mortality and will in
crease the production of the individual
during her lactation period over the
aow which generally obtains from the
average COW that Is carelessly "rail-
roaded."
Valuable purebred cows should be
moved as rapidly as possible by express
service or by freight under the special
system of loading from origin to desti-
nation. Although the expense Of ex-
pressage is four to five times as great
as that of handling the animals by
freight, the saving in animal comfort,
shorter time in transit, and better con-
yeniences for feeding and watering the
animals, make the added expenditure
advisable. AS far as possible the an
lmals should be shipped one or two
months before they are due to fresh
en-, as repeatedly fresh cows have been
ruined so far as the subsequent lacta-
ton period has been concerned as re-
suit of being shipped shortly after
freshening or as to calve in transit.
Mich cows of grade breeding usual
ly are shipped by freight. The expe-
rienced stOckman selects only dry cows
and farsprinsers for long shipments.
HeiferS which are not due to freSEen
until three or four weeks after arrival
at destination make good buys" as
they are of SIZE and condition which
permits of loading the car to capacity.
Ful0hermore, immature animals are
less susceptible to injury in transit
and to damage as result of q marked
change of environment. If possible,
only animals without horns should be
shipped; and in case any horned ami
mails have to be moved, they should be
tied securely or penned apart in one
end Of the car to preclude the posi-
bility of their injuring other animals
during the journey.
Similarly, where bulls are shipped in
mixed loads, these sires should be con-
fined apart from the other cattle. 9th
er conditions being equal, it is advisa-
BILE to load about fourteen mature cows
In q 80 or 4O-foot car. A practical ar
rangement is to tie four cows in each
end Of the car facing the end walls and
then rough partitions can be installed
SO that two other rows of three cows
each face a center alleyway between

TROOP THIRTEEN
PATROLS MEET
Win High Honors at
Gathering

| Last Friday evening, Troop Thirteen
of the Boyd Building held very sue.
i cessful scout meeting. The Troop has
forty-three scouts enrolled in its or
! ganization and out of that number there
were thirty-five present The meeting
; was the same as usual and after the
regular business, the awards for the
week were given. Joseph Hagar cap
tured an achievement button and then
Karl Moeslein who already has a pocket
full OF medals was awarded the "ace
medal Karl is the first lad to get
an lace" in the Troop and the scouts
were afraid the Troop was going to be
lett IN this part of the war program
but however, the Troop was saved at
the last moment. The Patrols of the
Troop are having a contest in merits
and dement's and the chart in the scout
room shows every week the results of
these small organizations. The Patrols
are having quite a lot of fun out of this
contest, and the merits of the Troop
are as follows although they may not
seem strict to other readers
Not using tobacco, not swearing, at
tending church. attending sunday school
are each rewarded by two merits while
attending scout meeting. passing a Sec
ond class test are worth five merits and
last of them are the bringing in new
scouts, special duty. and passing of any
| first class test are made up by giving
each of these fifteen merits
Then there are demerits and these
are as follows: Not attending meeting
Z a, NJ fnf. hat lot I'd IaH hU HU
demerits each while disorderly conduct
ten demerits each. BY these merits and
no report of good turns are worth
demerits, the Patrols are always on
the job and the chart is considered every
scout meeting with a great deal oil
interest and the lines indicating the
heighth of the contest is watched eager
ly by the winning and non-winning
teams.
1t is often hard to get Patrols to-
gether and therefore the Patrols of the
Troop last Friday evening held meetings
by themselves in different parts OF the
building and as result have started
things going. OF course as is the case
with some fellows. they don't nave any
pep and as a consequence things go
bad with their Patrol but with the
coming yearly election in view, the
scouts OIL the HalTol are loohHi6
for a suitable Patrol Leader and those
who have not been on the job for the
past year will not have a chance as
the fellows are awake to the fact that
leader with lots of pep must be select
ed After the Patrols had each held
a fine meeting for the length of twenty
minutes. the scout meeting was resumed
and after other business, the Troop ad-
journed to the meeting which will be
held by Troop Thirteen on the square
as a demonstration on Scout Meeting.

Won't ii be nice to sit around a camp
fire this summer at night and listen
to the stories of the wars of past years.
What is it that makes the camp or
over night hike cheerful? It's the eats
and the campfire. If you have read
your Scout Manual, you will find that
it says that there is nothing like a
campfire. I don't mean a great big
fire but just a fire that will throw
a light several feet around it.
The Scout Manual will also tell you
that a camp is not a camp without
story teller. What kind of stories
does n Scout like to hear? Something
like Jesse James Midnight Rail, or
the Battle of Bloody Gulch" or some
real good American stories. Ghost
stories generally bring up the end of
the evening, when the embers are glow
ing and the corn begins to pop, and it
is just the time to roast the apples and
potatoes. Every body tries to find a
companion before the story begins, and
he looks back over his shoulder into
the darkness, but he sees nothing. He
listens and he hears the crickets calling
and the foxes yelping and then he
crawls closer to the fire. After the corn
Is popped, and each one gets his share,
the story begins. 1t is not about some
ghost in the town but about the place
where their camp is situated. and in
the days OF the Indians. Just at the
climax. the fellows take another little
peep over their shoulders, but all is
still darkness, and nothing has come
to harm them yet. About this time.
every one should be in bed 80 they can
be full of pep the next day. So off to
the hay they hike.

Cubs Of Pack Two Liked
Scout Rally; 1t Was Okeh :!

Well, how did you like the rally on
Tuesday? Okeh, I say. Some gang
there, wasn't there? The parade for
the first one of the season was right
We made a good showing, nearly 100
per cent.-seventeen cubs present out
of an enrolment of eighteen. That's
sticking together. Makes me think OF
that song ANY Old Place the Gang
Goes I'll Be There"
The Cubmaster hasn't found any stars
yet, but he'll have some before this
time next week. Who will be the first
cub to win the stars? In this con-
nection / might say that a new rule
will go into effect tonight. Because
we have no badge the cap will be re-
garded as our badge, and no Cub will
be permitted to wear the cap until he
has passed the Tenderpad Test. When
the One Star test is passed. the star
will be placed on the cap to the right
of the number, and when the two Star
test is passed, the second star will be
placed to the left of the number.
I saw some Cubs at the Rally in
Scout uniform. l don't know how that
happened-"No boy under twelve shall
wear the Scout Uniform" This was a
wise ruling and I for one am glad it
was made The cubs have their own
organization and the scouts have theirs.
The uniform Pack Two has adopted,
subject of course to the approval of the
executive, Is the green cap, blue shirt,
green nectie. khaki shirts, and black
stockings and shoes. 1t isn't expensive,
and if ever national cub uniform
comes into use the shirt and pants can
easily be used for play. 1t isn't a
great expense any way you take it.
| believe about ten fellows have uni
forms. Let's get busy.
No hike this Saturday. but keep your
eve on the ball, sne is coming soon.
Tonight we are going TO get busy on
One Star work so come prepared for
lots of hard work and little play. Only
two caps left. get one soon. II you have
any friends who want to join Pack Two,
bring them around soon. We have room
for only six more Cubs. See you later.
