PURE-BRED SIRE ESSENTIAL
Farmers in Wisconsin Locality Have
Little Chance for Sale II Stock
is Not of High Grade.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
When buyers of breeding cattle
come to the county agent of Wauke-
sha county. Wisconsin, one of the first
questions they ask of the prospective
seller is, Does he use pure-bred
bull?" Upon the answer TO this ques-
ton depends the farmers opportunity
to make Il sale. If the sire Is not
pure-bred. little chance does that
farmer have of selling stock, no mat
ter how good 1t looks, he adds. The
county agent reports that approx
mately 20 carloads of purebred Guern-
seys and 60 of grades of. the same
breed were shipped from the county
last year. During the same period 20
cars Of pure-bred Holsteins and rs of
grades, and several cars of Jerseys
were shipped, also. AS result of the
success which owners of pure-bred
sires have attained an effort is being
made to clear the county Of scrubs.

April, May and June are the months
when the hens Of the country produce
about 80 per cent Of the lay of the
whole year. These are the months,
also, when the thrifty housewife who
has her own hens or who can draw
upon the surplus supply of nearby
neighbOr puts away In water glass or
limewater eggs for next autumn and
winter. To insure success, care must
be exercised in this operation.
In the first place, the eggs must be
fresh, preferably not more than two
or three days old. This Is the reason
why it is much more satisfactory to
put away eggs produced in ones own
chicken yard.
InfertiIe Eggs Best.
Infertile eggs are best If they can
be obtained; so, after the Matching,
exclude ROSTERS from the flock and
kill them for the table as needed.
The shells must be clean. Washing
an egg with a soiled shell lessons It's
hccplub QuuilJs 1hS plObSCllNC belu-
tinous covering over the shell Is re-
moved by water and when this Is gone
the egg spells more rapidly.
The shells also must be free from
even the tlnlest crack. One cracked
egg will spoil large number of sound
eggs when packed in water glass.
Earthenware crooks are good con-
tainers. The crooks must be clean and
sound. Scald them and let them cool
completely before use. A crock hold
ing @ gallons will accommodate IS
dozens of eggs and about % pints of
solution. Too large crooks are not de-
sirable, since they increase the lia-
bility of breaking some Of the eggs
and spelling the entire batch.
1t must be remembered that the eggs
on the bottom crack first and that
those in the bottom of'the crooks are
the last to be removed for use. Eggs
can be put up in smaller crooks and
the eggs put In the crock first should
be used first in the household.
Water-Glass Method.
"Water glass" is known to the chem
LIST as sodium silicate. 1t can be pur-
chased by the quart from druggists or

BETTER HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Under Federal Supervision Production
Has Increased and Quality Has
Been Improved.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Less than per cent Of hog cholera
serum manufactured under federal
supervision during the last year was
found to be unfit for use and its sale
prevented by federal officials. OF 27l.-
400. $50 cubic centimeters Of serum
made in licensed establishments. 2,4SS,-
661 was declared unfit. Corresponding
figures for last year were 23S,S6l,210
cubic centimeters of serum produced
and 5,036,S75, or more than per cent,
was unfit and likewise withheld from
market.
This comparison shows that federal
supervision has increased the produc-
ton of serum for combating hog chol-
era In the United States and has i'm
proved the quality. Serum declared
unfit is not, however, necessarily in
furious; 1t is frequently condemned
merely for lack of potency. Hog
cholera virus used simultaneously with
serum is subject to similar control.
In its supervision Of hOg-cholera
serum and virus manufacture the bu-
reau of animal industry prevents eth
er product of doubtful quality from
leaving the establishment in which 1t
is made. A knowledge Of this policy
by swine raisers of the United States.
1t is believed, will cause more herds
to be vacclnated and result In greatly
reduced losses from hog cholera.

RESULT OF THRIFT
PRIZE ESSAY CONTEST

Following the Thrift Campaign.
Inaugurated by w. e. Harper, Of
the Y. M. c. A., the committee Of
which Bart s. Reid was chairman,
offered prizes for the best essays
written by the pupils of the Graded
School. The winners were Charles
Heidrick, Mary Faulkner a d
Thomas Hignite. We print herewith
the essays in full, which we're chos-
en- for their originality as against
the more stereotyped essays of their
competitors.
First Prize-s5.OO and $3.50 gloves
given by the New York Store.
THRIFT
Thrift means to save and use
what you have and spend 1t only for
what is necessary and what is
worth while. It's one of the most
important of mans habits.
The exercise of thrift in the in
dividual means he will be self sup
porting and self-reliant. which re-
suits in good citizenship and this ex-
ample exerts a beneficial influence
not only on his own family, but on
the community in which he lives.
1t can readily be seen that such
communities produce the men who
wielda similar influence in the af-
fairs of their state and nation.
Our early history shows us that
necessity compelled the men of that
time to exercise thrift in every par
ticular. They we're the moulders of
great nation.
AS the wpnderful resources of
our country were developed the peo-
pie became very prosperous and al
most lost sight of the need for econ
omy and thrift. but the war has
brought us to keen realization of
the fact that we must waste moth
ing.
1t has become imperative that we
revert to the thrift of our fore
fathers in order to restore the pro-
per relation between supply and de-
mand. Thrift is the road to happi-
ness. prosperity and success.
Second Prize-S3.OO in cash.
THRIFT =.
Thrift is the foundation of all
great fortunes, happiness and pros
perity. 1t should be practiced in
every home. The children should
spend less for picture shows and
other unnecessaries and by so doing
the mother will have more to spend
otherwise.
1t is we'll to care for the home ex-
penditures by the budget system.
One advantage is that the happiness
of each individual depends largely
upon the kind of a home they have.
To own a home is a great pleasure.
By the budget system the family is
provided for and balance left for
bank account.
By keeping a record of what is
spent for the necessities of the home
one can see how much is spent each
month and can conserve more for
tho Davf Ynontb
Municipal extravaganza is a crime
If economy is practiced by each in
dividual they will soon insist upon
the officers to economic in munich
pal affairs.
Government securities are wise
investments because they pay inter
est and are non taxable and safe.
Everyone should carry a life in
surance and make a will. These
are beneficial to the family.
To share with others forms a no.

NEW SANITARIUM

DR.. Leslie logan now has his new
Sanitarium ready to receive patients.
The rooms are on the same floor as
his Offices over the Sears Il Croley
stores. There is plenty of good air
and light and everything is new and
fresh with all conveniencies needed
for a small hospital. At present
there are only four beds but more
very desirable rooms will be added
and will probably have to be used
very soon for Barbourville has long
felt the need of such an institution.
DR.. Logan has his Offices thoro-
ly equipped for general practice
and also to do emergency operations.
His X-Ray apparatus fills a long felt
want for some means of making a
sure diagnosis of injuries to bones
and the presence of foreign objects
in the human body quickly without
the loss of time necessary when the
patient must be removed to the city.

PIGS NEED MINERAL MATTER
Unless Ample Supply Is Furnished
Their Growth Is Hindered-
Corn Alone Is Bad.

Pigs lpve less bone in proportion to
weight than other farm animals and
their growth is hindered materially
unless the feed supplied contains
plenty of mineral matter. The earlier
Increase In weight of the pig consists
quite largely Of muscle, while the lat
ter increase In weight is mostly fat.
The young pig, therefore, needs much
more muscle-making feed, such as
milk or tankage (made largely from
the scraps OF lean meat at the pack
ing houses), or linseed oilmeal, wheat
shorts, etc. Young pigs will not do
well on corn alone or on corn and
barley unless one Of the feeds men,
toned is supplied to furnish protein.
These feeds are also mich higher In
mineral matter than corn or barley.
