Tom Jones and John Brown live on
adjoining farms. Each Of them owns
Il scrub COW. The county agent gave
them United States department of
agriculture bulletin on grading up by
the use of better sires, and they have
decided TO try it.
Joe Smith, who lives n mile down
the road, owns a three-quarters grade
Shorthorn bull. The nearest pure
bred ShOrthorn bull is q herd header
at the Glendale farm, seven miles
away. Now, there isn't great deal
Of difference-on the outside-between
three-quarters blood and pure
bred. Tom Jones, being busy, pat
ronizes Joe Smiths three-quarters
Shorthorn bull. John Brown, remem-
bering a copy-book maxim that what
ever is worth doing is worth doing
We'll takes the trouble and the time to
patronize the pure-bred bull at the
Glendale farm.
Short Cut to Good Blood.
There would not seem to be very
much difference in the offspring. But.
in actual fact, John Brown accom-
plishes in two crosses result that is q
little better than Tom Jones gets in
five crosses. In about four years John
Brown has an animal of a fraction
higher grade than Tom Jones can get
I'm about IS years.
There may be no way to show it
mathematically, but every reasonable
man knows that the difference between
four years and 10 years is greater
than the difference between a mile and
seven miles.
Or, put it in somewhat different
form. Say that both Tom Jones and
John Brown own a number of scrub
COWS and desire to buy bulls. Jones,
being penny-wise, buys a three-quar-
ters Shorthorn for $3.50. Brown pays
$500 for pure-bred Shorthorn. Most
men will agree that the difference be-
tween 4 years and 10 years is greater
than the difference between $3.50 and
$500.
The thing needs little diagramming
TO make the differences stand out.
Here is what John Brown did by breed
ing his scrub COW to the purebred bull {:

BOSCHEE'S SYRUP.

A cold is probably the most COM
mon of all disorders and when neglect
ed is apt to be most dangerous. Sta
tistics show that more than three
times as many people died from in
fiuenza last year, as were killed in
the greatest war the world has ever
known. For the last fifty-three years
Boschee's Syrup has been used for
coughs, bronchitis, colds, throat ir-
ritation and especially lung troubles.
1t gives the patient a good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy
expectoration in the morning. Made
in America and used in the homes Of
thousands of families all over the
civilized world. Sold everywhere.-Adv.

J7IJ NOTES

Too much salt is poisonous to hogs.
Oats and bran make a fine ration
for the colt.
Clean hog pens mean greater prof.
its from that source.
Pasture grass constitutes balanced
ration In Itself for live stock.
Drainage has much to do with the
safety and danger of the hog pen.

John Browns calf was half Short
horn and half scrub.
Here is what Tom Jones did by
breeding his scrub COW to the three
quarters bull:
y plus o equals q; divided by 2,
equals "a.
Tom Jones' calf was three-eighths
ShOrthorn and five-eighths scrub. Not
much difference in the first generation
but wait. Using those heifer calves
as breeding stock and mating them
with the same kind of bulls, here is
what happens:
John Brown gets / plus II which
equals 11s divided by .. equals q.
Tom Jones gets q plus IS, equals
9/S; divided by equals 9/16
John Browns calf I'm the second
generation outgradeS Tom Jones calf

And Tom Jones has TO breed three
other generations of cattle (using the
SulIle hlllu VI SHtJ W blluS iilS NottiS
up to Approximately the same grade
as John Browns second generation of
offspring. In the meantime, using the
same kind of bull, John Brown has
graded his cattle up till the offspring
of the original scrub cows contain
1892 Shorthorn blood and only 1872
scrub blood. Tom Jones' cattle, In
the same generation, contain 93/12S
Shorthorn blood and 35/12S scrub
blood. Jones' herd after 10 years of
work, still retains 80 times as much
scrub blood as John Browns cattle
all because, Is years ago, John Brown
took the time and the trouble to travel
seven miles instead of mile, or
saw his way clear to spend $500 in
stead of $3.50. The cost of bulls varies
greatly, of course, according to quality
of breeding, age, and other factors.
The moral of the story, as the breed
ing experts Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture tell it, is to use
pure-bred sires for herd Improvement
Replace the scrub sires and the grade
sires with good pure-breds. Join the
Better Sires Better-Stock" campaign
And consult your county agent, your
agricultural college or the United
States department of agriculture from
time to time for whatever information
you may need.

RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.

To half pint of water add OF. Bay Rum,
small box of Barbo Compound, and 4
OF of glycerine. Apply to the hair twice a
week until it becomes the desired shade.
Any druggist can put this up or you can
mix it at home at very little cost. 1t will
gradually darken streaked, faded gray hair,
and will make harsh hair soft and glossy.
1t will not coor the scalp, is not sticky or
greasy, and does not rub off.-Adv.

clerical force.
Mr.. Lee told one amusing re-
suit. A customer complained that
a drip pan was missing from a
shipment The inexperienced
girl who answered the complaint
looked up goods" in the index
and followed it down until she
found the word lost" She then
sent out a circular letter saying
that the league always took the
greatest care to see that there
was no shortage in shipments, and
if the consignee would shake up
the excelsior in the bottom of the
box" be undoubtedly would find
the missing object.
After a years fight, the !. Vigil
ance Committee obtained con-
viction, and sent the head of the
league to prison. j.
Another man formed a COM
Ipany ostensibly to build tractors,
using the name Ford, for Henry
Ford was at that time said to be
contemplating marketing a tract
Tor. The swindler picked up a
telephone book, ran down the
list of Fords until he found a ma
chinist. He called on this man
and told him that he had been
highly recommended and that he
wanted him to superintend the
construction of the first machine.
The machinist had an easy time
at high pay for a few weeks,
dropping in on the head of the
company to make suggestions
once in a while. When the first
tractor was nearing completion,
the swindler told him that his
work had been SO valuable thai
it had been decided to nan,> the
machine for him, and got him to
sign a paper permitting this use.
When this paper was signed, he
soon disappeared from the pay
roll, and the stock selling began.
The Vigilance Committee also
obtained the conviction Of this
man.
Another bogus company, form
ed in Akron, in the heart of the
tire industry, sold its stock chiefly
to people in that city, through the

CON GAME WORKED
ALONG AUTO lines
How Slickers Have Gulled The
Public Through Various
Motor Ger Games
CBy Associated Press,

. | 10Y ASSOcldleQ HfeSS)
! New York, Feb. o-Ingenious
use of advertising schemes by
''get-rich-quick" men are being
run down by the National Vigil
ance Committee of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the world
which keeps a corps of men at
this work constantly. Richard
H. Lee, special counsel of the
committee, who supervises the
work, tells many stories of conf
dence men and the methods used
to combat and convict them.
One man, he says, formed a
league of automobile users. The
league issued price list of acces-
series, all quoted less than posi-
BILE for the manufacture to make
them. When member ordered
an article, another was substi-
tuted and a circular letter explain
ed that because OF the great de-
mand, the factory was behind in
its orders. In some cases the
substitution was attributed to the
rareness of the object desired.
The substitute was a cheap af-
fair, made for the head of the
league, but the member was sat
sifed, temporarily at least, by the
explanation that while its price
was higher than ordered, the
league would sell it to him for
the same sum.
This man built up good repu-
tation by means of preferred"
customers, whom Mr.. Lee de-
lscribes as plants" who innocent
! ly furthered the designs of the
swindler. A group of these men
was established in each town
where the league did business.
| AS an illustration, Mr.. Lee
cites the case of one of the most
prominent surgeons in an Ohio
city, who was persuaded to join
the league. He bought a tire,
which an agent obtained from a
local dealer at the usual price,
and then held until the proper
time had elapsed for shipment
from headquarters. The doctor
was delighted In a few days the
agent dropped around to see him
and asked how the tire was hold
ling up. On inspection the agent
found an imaginary flaw, and in
sisted upon replacing the tire with
la new one-also bought at the
usual retail price. He left the
supposedly defective tire, saying
that the doctor could use it as a
"spare," and refused further pay
tment
i eff you really feel so grateful,
DOCTOR" he said, write the Old
Man a letter about it and tell him
Ihow you feel"
The letter was used for adver-
itising purposes.
Not one, but many companies
brought suit against the league
without success, for the defend
ant would put his preferred
customers, all men of unques-
toned reputation, on the stand
and the case would be dismissed.
This man reduced circular let
tier writing to science. He die
tated a set of circular letter:
