TO Determine AGE OF COWS
Most Common Way Is to Count Rings
3 on Horna-Teeth Also Should
Be Considered

The common way of judging the age
of cow is by counting the rings on
her horns. The first ring usually
comes at about three years of age
the second one two years later, and
then one ring is formed each year.
The shape. size and condition of the
teeth should also be considered.

BREEDING SIRES AND DAMS
Figures Given Representing Condi-
lions on More Than 1000 Farms
in United States

Developments in the Better Sires-
Better Stock" campaign have resulted
In figures showing the relative number
OF males and females kept for breed
ing purposes. Following are the ratios
based on more than 100000 head of
stock of all kinds listed with the
United States department of agricul-
ture:
Sattle ............1 bull to 1879 cows
11oISeS ....o...s...1 stallion to 1863 maroa
SWINE ......s.s....1 boar to lis SOwS
heep...........1 ram to 81 ewes
Goats. .............1 buck to 266 does
G6U.uItry'..'...:. Il rooster to 1873 hens.
Olher poultry,
Yeese. ducks,
turkeys. ETC.,
taVerage).....1 male to S.5 females.
These figures represent conditions
on more than two thousand farms in
various parts Of the country, and are
believed to be typical of other farms.
They show the Importance of placing
stress on quality in sires, since in
practically all cases a sire is the par-
ent Of very much larger number
Of offspring than the average female
animal.

The press dispatches have recently
carried stories of signals recorded ut
the MarcOni wireless stations at the
same time in London and New York
which 10 one pretendS to understand.
but which some people seem willing to
believe are from beings Of other plan
cts who wish to communicate with i'll
habitantS Of the earth. And some
scientists are not backward in encour-
aging such interpretations of t h e
strange signals. Next to man GER
tain insect of earth has attained to the
highest community development. This
insect is IL farmer and gardener. Il
herder and a dairynEin in his way: Il
maker of war, an enSlaver of his fell

we humans are pleased to call 'organ-
lied society" We call this insect the
ant. When we learn to talk with him
it will he time to attempt to answer
signals from other planets.
