Michigan County
First in Breed List

Livingston County, Michigan, is the
first county in the United States
listed in the better-sires movement as
having a dominant breed of live stock.
The breed is Holstein cattle. Accord
ing to the result of live stock survey
reported to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture by County Agent
F. S. Dunks, Livingston County, con-
tains $50 registered bulls. One hun
dred purebred sires of a single breed
is the number needed before that
breed is officially recognized as domi-
nant in the county. Livingston Coun-
ty thus exceeded the minimum by two
and one-half times.
Of the 321 purebred herds of cattle
in the country, 275 are Holsteins. The
total number of purebred cattle is
1888, of which 3,240 are Holsteins.
About 72 per cent of the bulls in the
county are purebred, % per cent
grade, and per cent scrub. Short
horns and Jerseys are the second and
third most prominent breeds

of the sows had come from Iowa, one
from Maine. The Federal inspector in
charge communicated with the Iowa
breeder from whom two of the sows
had been secured and who was a
veterinarian. He was induced to ar
ly the tuberculin test to his drove Of
hogs. There were large number Of
"reactors" in the pen, all of which on
post-mortem examination were found
to be tuberculosis. On the same farm
there was herd of cattle that had
passed a tuberculin test several years
before but had since been on a show
circuit where they were associated
with INFESTED stock
Upon applying a retest to find the
source of infection several of the cat
tie reacted. When slaughtered they
too disclosed LESSONS of tuberculosis
Here is how the malady had spread to
the diseased brood sows on the Florida
farm. AS pigs they had been fed on
raw milk from the infected herd of
cattle in Iowa.
Summing up the evidence, DR.. ]. G.
Fish, the federal inspector, states:
"The point l wish to make is: That
the milk or by-products that produce
tuberculosis in pigs would produce the
same disease in babies using the same
milk"
The trail of infection is now being
followed to Illinois and Maine to To-
cate, and, if possible, stamp out the
disease at the sources. In the case
mentioned tie tuberculosis stock men,
aced Florida. There is no way of
telling what State might be endan-
gered the next time. The United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
vises the greatest care in purchasing
breeding stock and it states that even
then, before any animals are brought
into direct contact with healthy
herd, they should be kept in quaran-
tine until known to be free from in
fictitious disease.

Making Sure of
Binder Irvine

The Tilted States has long depended
for much of its supply of binder
Irvine on henequen from Yucatan. The
uncertainty of the supply during the
past several years has caused serious
anxiety lest there should be enough
binder Irvine to harvest the increasing
crops of grain in this country, and tine
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has been making diligent efforts
TO find new sources of supply or new
regions where binder-twine fibers may
be produced. The chief of the Bureau
of Plant Industry reports encouraging
results. The conditions in limited
areas, extreme southern Florida and
on the larger keys, are regarded as
suitable for the production of sisal
and henequen fibers, provided the cost
of land and of labor is not too high
to permit successful competition.
Henequen has been cultivated success
fully for several years in Cuba and the
plantations are being increased, but
thus far they produce scarcely enough
fiber to supply the cordage mills on
the island Conditions are regarded as
favorable for the production of binder
Irvine fibers in limited areas in Haiti
and over a much larger area in south
ern Santo Domingo. Experimental
paintings in Porto Rico have resulted
in the establishment of commercial
plantation near Yauco and trial plant
ings near Quebradallas and on Mona

To Europe by Air

There are two definite projects
afoot to establish regular transatlan
tic air routes. 1t is reported that the
land has already been secured near
New York City for a landing place.
One of those routes is planned by
Germany and the other by England.
In both cases the dirigible balloons
are to be used similar to the grel.
R-34 which made a successful round
trip last year. 1t is figured that the
air line could be made to pay by charg
ing a little more than the regular
ocean steamship rate. Within a few
years, surely not more than five, we
shall be able to cross the Atlantic il
three days or less by air route.

Better Seed Potatoes

Seed stock of Irish potatoes com
monty available to growers contain
many mixtures, not infrequently dis
eased and as rule not as productive
as they should be. The Chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
makes this statement in reporting on
the progress of work in developing inn
proved seed stocks 1t is a recognized
fact, he says, that the yield of pota-
toes in this country is far below that
secured in some other countries, aid
the difference is commonly attributed
to the use Of relatively inferior seed
stocks. Seed improvement work is
being carried on by the department in
cooperation with agricultural expert
ment stations in practically all of the
important potato-producing States.
The best seed stock of the leading
varieties in different regions is beng
grown in the various States. During
the progress of the season the vari-
Gus plants are inspected several times
for the purpose of eliminating dis
eased plants and those which are not
true to name or to type. At harvest
time carefully studied selections arc
made for the purpose of obtaining the
best strains of the different varieties
These potatoes in turn will be used
for seed purposes with view to de-
veloping stocks that are true to name,
true to type, free from disease con-
municable through the seed, and that
possess high-yielding proclivities.

Carrying Capacity
OF Pastures

Hogs do not relish grasses except
when the leaves are young and tender
Hence it is necessary for the best
results to keep permanent pastures
well stocked. If the plants are al.
lowed to mature they not only become
less palatable but are deficient in
feeding value as we'll. 1t is usually
advisable to have some other stock in
the pastures with the hogs to eat
the coarser plants. Cattle are best
suited for this purpose. Moving the
pasture in late spring should be prac-
ticed if the plants become too far
advanced.
1t is impossible to state how many
animals per acre will be supported by
a permanent pasture. In most cases
it is advisable to have some of the
best supplementary forage crops to
Craze in addition to the pasture. A
safe rule is to have at least one acre
of good permanent pasture for each
brood sow kept. Of course, this acre
age could be reduced or the number
of hogs increased where a complete
success of supplementary forage crops
is raised or where the land is very
productive. A greater area should
be allowed if the grazing is poor.
The carrying capacity of the vari-
Gus supplementary forage crops varies
widely, according to the growth of the
crop. AS a rule it is safe to Craze
them at the rate of ten to fifteen 100
round shotes to the acre. A greater
number will shorten the grazing
period, and fewer animals will
lengthen it.

tation this year will be very severe.
A severe infestation was indicated
last fall, the only hope of alienation
being that the number might be
greatly reduced during the winter.
This did not occur. Nothing can be
done now toward protecting the pres
ent crop from damage, but informa.
ton recently gathered by the en-
tomologists will emphasize the neces-
sity for the practice of control meas
ures this fall when planting is being
done for next years crop. Control
consists in late sowing, rotation Of
crops, blowing under of stubble, de-
struction of volunteer wheat, thorough
preparation of soil, the use of ferLi-
lizer and selection and proper sowing
of the best seed.

Leading a Dogs
Life at Universal CITY

eff dog knows what you want him
to do he'll do his best to do it,

practice at the Universal City kennels
where a corps of trainers are elm

arena, to educate dogs for work tie.

stinct to please, serve and, if neces.
sary, die for his master. Only by
kindness can a dog be properly
trained. The animal who works
through fear is a pathetic spectacle
and is useless before the camera"
Although he has been responsible
for the training of Joe Martin, Uni
versaPs educated orang-outang, and
the herd of lions frequently seen IN
Universal animal comedies and serials
Mr. Stecker still finds time personally
to train the universal dogs. His
favOrites are team of Alaskan
"huskies." Among the Alaskans are
two of the most famous and valuable
dogs in the world, Blue and Juno,
prize winners of the All-Alaskan
sweepstakes.
Universal City is truly the worlds
dog paradise. Dogs at the Universal
City kennels are cared for with the
zeal that would be applied to a
wealthy old codger with the govt in a
fashionable sanitarium.
Each day the sleeping quarters of
the animals are flushed out, scrubbed
and disinfected. The feeding pans
are subjected to securing and al
lowed to dry in the sun.
Through the mild, sunny days of a
California winter the dogs are tcth-
cred in verdant pasture where they
are free to roam at the end of twenty
foot chains.
While the ancient and honorable
ceremony of the bath is sometimes
limited to Saturday night among
humans, the dogs at the Universal City
arena are dry-cleaned once a Gay,
dipped for fleas once a week and
bathed at frequent intervals.
The minute puppies are able %

A. C. Stecker, the chief trainer, has
standing bounty of one dollar for
any of his assistants who can find a
flea. One of the deputy trainers
found a fat flea on a poodle the day
before Christmas and collected his Ie-
ward, but it is gravely suspected that
he planted" the little pest.

Demonstration in
Swine Breeding

With the aid of the extension loan
fund which has been created by public
spirited citizens of North Carolina for
financing worthy boys and girls in
raising purebred live stock, various
county agents in that State are start
ing demonstrations in swine breeding
which promise to be particularly con-
vincing to farmers in the localities
concerned, because the demonstrations
are to be carried on largely by resi-
dents of the neighborhoods.
The method being, followed is for
the county agent to select promising
boy or girl in each of several districts
who will agree to raise sow for a
given period. After a 4-acre plot suit
able for the demonstration has been
decided on and plans have been COM
pleted for improving it, an approved
note is given by the youthful stock
raiser to cover the purchase price of
a SOW, the cost of fencing and erecting
one or two colony houses. The pig
and the improvements are then pur.
chased with money advanced from the
extension loan fund.
The plan contemplates raising pigs
to the age of 8 months. All animals
used in the demonstrations are to be
purebreds. The first North Carolina
farmer to whom this proposal was pre-
scented instantly agreed to cooperate
and set aside for his child four acres
near the highway along which many
people pass. The tract is to be fenced
this winter according to the most ap-
proved methods and provided with a
model self-feeder and an automatic
waterer. A registered Poland China
sow will take possession early in the
spring and will farrow March litter
in her new quarters. 1t is confidently
exepcted that in this demonstration,
as in the others being arranged in
various parts of the State the selected
animals will pay the expenses, includ-
ing fencing and seeding the first year.

" What is a Joke !"
All Concern Dignity's Capitulation

Some jokes are spiced with one kind
of favoring; some with another kind
but the main ingredients are the same.
They all more. or less depend upon the
same elements of their laughs" IN
a general way, joke is manufactured
from embarrassment.
The first joke ever made in the
world was when some frisky young
cave man suddenly yanked away the
stone upon which the hoary-whiskered
old chief of the tribe was about to sit.
And all jokes through the ages that
have followed have been made out of
about the same stuff. 1t is not actual
material chairs that are being pulled
out from under dignified people; but
the best and surest jokes concern the
fall of dignity in some way.
It is because I so thoroughly realize
this that my comedies always have a
strong, reasonable plot upon which the
comedy is draped.
There is nothing funny in mere
monkey business. Parenthetically,
might remark that the reason mon
key is funny is because he always
looks so solemn and dignified when he
does his antics.
Comedians could well take a cue
from the monk. The only really fun
ny comedy is that done seriously.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1920-06-18

There is nothing funny in dirty
hobo falling over a bucket of water,
but it is funny when pompous, stuck
up, snobbish old aristocrat falls over
a bucket of water. For that reason,
the successful comedy director must
have logical, serious story to "estab-
lish' the character of the snob he in
tends to tip over.
This is the principle upon which ell
comedy is built.
There are many interesting side
lights. No one knows how or why,
but the screen public has tacitly
agreed that certain things are funny.
For instance, we never can take any
liberties with a Shetland pony in a
picture. They don't like to see these
little fellows made fun of.
The public will enjoy fun being
poked at preacher if he wears SIDE
whiskers; dress him in any other
makeup and you are on very danger

why this is, but it is true.
