prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
If you started out to find, among
the boys of today in the United States,
the one who IS to become the first man
in the world in relation to dairying,
the first place you would 60 would not
be a cotton farm in South Carolina,
would it? But that would have been
the place to 60 on that mission 30
years ago. The present chief of the
dairy division, United States depart
ment Of agriculture, would have been
the boy. You would have found him,
probably, chopping cotton or maybe
plowing corn Or cutting wheat with an
old-fashioned cradle. And you might
have picked him for leader in any
one Of half dozen agricultural lines,
but not for dairying, because there
was no market for milk in his COM
munity.
How a Dairyman Was Made.
How do you suppose he happened to
become a dairy specialist? Well, his
aunt gave him heifer one time. He
cared for the animal, fed her, MIXED
her, sold her calves and kept the
money. and generally felt that the COW
was his. His interest in that COW
led to his interest in all cows.
That is one Of the Illustrations that
the department of agriculture might
cite in beginning its work of encour-
aging the formation Of boys cow clubs.
There are many calf clubs. Banks
have done a great deal toward encour-
aging boys to own calves. The plan,
ordinarily, is to lend boy money to
buy a calf, which he keeps for a
year, then sells, and repays the bank.
The dairy specialists believe that there
should be COW clubs, also-and there
are few already. A boy can borrow
money to buy heifer about ready to
freshen, and make her pay for herself
in from one to two years, provided, OF
course, that there is an available mar
ket for his milk or cream.
One of the objects sought, of course,
is to interest the boy in cows and in
dairying. but the dairy specialists be.
lieve that they see way to use the
cow for deepening the boys interest
in other things. They propose, wher-
ever it can be Gone, that the COW be-
come the basis of the boys arithmetic
at school.
For the average boy, it is pointed
out, arithmetic is not related to life.

GIVE SPRING LEAVES 7 =
CAREFUlATENTl0N
Keep Foreign Matter Away From
Them is First Step.
Ample Protection Can Be Given by
Covering With 6oots-Leather or
q Good Substitute 10 Best
Material to Use.

The leaves Of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon one another
when the car is in motion. Many car
owners allow the springs to get dirty,
to 60 without fabrication and to be-
come very rusty. The leaves become so
dirty that instead Of sliding on each
other, they work almost as if they
were one solid piece Of steel. Then,
when the car strikes hole or bump
In the road the springs are compressed
and instead of each leaf working as
a separate unit, the lower leaves Of
rusty spring are held fast to the
upper leaves. The reaction from the
compression of such spring is many
times greater than the reaction of
clean. well-lubricated spring where
the leaves are allowed to slip on one
another as they should.
The first step toward remedy is to
keep mud and dirt and all foreign
matter away from the springs. This
can be done effectively by covering
them with boots Some supply stores
carry covers to At good range Of
sizes Of springs, but If you can't buy
them already made, you should be
able to make them yourself. sewing
them together of leather or good
grade of leather substitute, advises
Motor Life Magazine. The advan-
tage Of the latter material is that 1t
is much cheaper than leather, and be-
ing waterproof, it will keep dirt and
moisture away from the springs. 1t
isn't a very big job to make suitable
spring covers, especially If you can
get some of the members Of the fam
lily interested to the point that they
will sew the covers together on the
sewing machine. Since the lubrica-
ton on springs protected in this way
will remain in place very long time
and will not gather grit and dirt, the
slight expense and trouble which the
making and fitting Of the boots will
entail will be well worth the effort.

EVIDENTLY HE WASN'T READY

While visiting in Nashville, Tenn,

where the gravestones were close to

earthly groan come seemingly from
beneath the nearest stone, but turned
in time to watch my. son grinning be-
fore the colored driver put on burst
of speed that nearly threw us out.
Then came another groan that seemed
to come from the seat next the driver,
and deep voice that said: "Boy. I
want you"
That was just before we went over
an embankment, and our driver lit rum
ming in the road. It was an hour after
he disappeared in the distance before
we caught ride back to the city.

WILLING TO GO HALF WAY
Little Jimmys Answer to Leading
Question Distinctly in Nature Of
Compromise.

Aunt Marie was very good, indeed,
to her five-year-old nephew James.
She gave him everything his little
heart desired. But still she was often
inclined to tease him and whenever
he showed resentment she teased him
still further by threatening to take
away something she had given him.
The other night she began her
usual teasing, taking for the subject
herself and her charms. "Why, jim
mie thinks I'm a WONDER" and she
turned to little James provokingly and
asked: ''Don't you think I'm pretty?
Don't you think I'm good?''
The little fellow was disturbed. He
wanted to tell the truth, and he also
wanted to keep auntie's favor.
Finally he found his tongue. swell,
I do fink you're pretty good" he said
truthfully.

CROPS PRODUCED IN

Five States.
Northwestern States Raise Most of
Wheat, While Louisiana Leads With
Rice-BuIk of Potatoes Come
From Northern States.

Although most of the crops Of this
country are produced in many Of the
states, if not all, it is not generally
realized that a large fraction of the
national crop, perhaps most of it, is
the product of few states. Speak
ing for 1919, it may be said that near
ly one-half of the great corn crop is
found in the five states of Iowa, Ilii-
nois, Texas, Nebraska and Indiana.
Kansas contributed one-fifth of the
winter wheat crop; North Dakota.
Minnesota and South Dakota nearly
three-fifths of the spring wheat and
seven eighths of the fax seed; Penn
sylvania and New York, nearly two
thirds of huckwheat; Louisiana, about
one-half of the Mce, and that state,
California, and Texas nearly seven
eighths.
Tobacco is highly concentrated in
Kentucky and North Carolina. from
which more than one-half of the crop
came. Texas, Georgia and South Car
olina produced more than one-half OF
the cotton; Alabama, Texas and Vir-
ginia more than one-half of the pea
nuts: Wisconsin and Illinois ~ per
cent Of the clover seed.
Nearly one-half of the oats grew In
Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota and
Wisconsin; two-fifths of the potato
crop in New York. Michigan, Wiscor-
sin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania :;
more than one-half of the barley in
California. South Dakota. Minnesota,

Horses and mules have been fed

Good western merinO ewes bred to

Dipping is the only practical way to

Pigs fed corn on good pasture need
about one-half as much skinned milk
for each pound Of corn.
Too many farmers follow the prac-
tice of weaving pigs when too young,
many being weaned at six and seven
weeks of age.
The hogs should hog-off enough corn
to finish them for the market, unless
they are to be put behind cattle.
Hogs should have sanitary, cement

should be put some crude oil or dip
to destroy lice. keep the skin in Ga

extremely tiresome and uni2teresting,
because it does not connect with any,
thing that the boy knows in his every
day life.
Making Dead Figures Live.
But if multiplication means four
pounds of cream from the boys own
COW multiplied by 40 cents at the
creamery door, or if percentage means
the portion Of the milk that can be
sold as cream, then arithmetic becomes
related to life, because it deals with
the things that the boy touches and is
interested in. 1t is possible to base
the whole of the boys arithmetic on
his work with the COW. He would
keep track of all the feed she con-
sumes, the cost of the feed, and later
on the nutrition ratios from time to
time. He would keep track Of the
milk produced. the fat it contains, how
much butter it would make, and what
it would be worth at varying prices
for different grades Of butter. Some
where along the line he would figure
the cost of raising a calf and balance
it against the price the calf would
bring. He would learn arithmetic. get
a basis of business. and become prsc-
tical dairyman and cattle husbandman.
Think the Idea Over.
Not every boy. of course. is in posi-
ton to do a thing like that. The big
gest limiting factor. it is realized. is
the schoolteacher. There are a great
many teachers of rural schools who
could not teach dairy arithmetic; and
there are great many others who
could teach it if they had time. but are
so busy that they could not give it the
necessary attention. But, all over the
country, there are neighborhoods
where the scheme would work, and
in practically every neighborhood there
are some boys who could just as well
manage COW as grow calf for year
and then sell it.
The department does not expect that
the thing will become general all at
once, but suggests it as a matter to be
thought over by boys, parents, teach
ers, progressive bankers. and others.
And the thinking along this lire need
not be confined to boys, either. There
are probably nearly as many girls as
there are boys who could very we'll un-
dertake the management Of COW.
