DAIRY TALKS
The heifer calf of to- day is the cow of the near future Will she be a dividend payer?
No. lO4
She will if properly bred and care

The practical dairyman looks far ahead in the matter of the conservation of his milk herd, with the end in view of increasing the butter-fat production.
 Since it Is necessary that each cow bear her burden of the responsibility of milk produc- ton, 1t Is incumbent upon the dairyman to make the proper selection of each individual member of the herd. As each heifer calf arr rives, close study should be made of its par entage and immediate decision should be made as to whether it is to be retained and added to the herd, or fattened and sold for veal.
 The successful dairvman keers record of the butter fat production If each cow so that he may "beef the loafers."
 The Babcock tester shows them up'' every time, and although a cow may be free milk and fine cow in every other way. if she does not produce the butter fat she does not belong in the modern dairy herd, and should be eliminated
 The offsoring If such cow might, if crossed with milk-producing strain the male side, develop into good dairy COW, but it is safer to select calves for dairy stock with butter fat producing proclivities "both sides of the family"
 Once the selection is made the calf should be given every opportunity to grow and de- velon in the best possible manner. A scrawny, poorly nourished calf is not going to develop into the healthy. vigorous demanded by the successful dairyman.
 During the year of 1918 the population of the country has increased about 2odo, while the number of cows had increased only about one half of one per cent. It would, therefore, ap- pear that unless the cow population is in- creased there will be decided shortage of all dairy products.
 Housewives complain of advancing prices of milk, butter and cheese but in view of the facts, it can be readily seen that such advances are perfectly normal and legitimate.
 But the burden of preventing national milk shortage (which would be catastrophe) and also further price advances, is squarely up to the dairyman and his herd of milk cows.
 Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business.
 Our farm experts are practical men who KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to sist any farmer dairyman free of charge.

Costs Fortune
to Send Team
to Olympidd

United States will always be prom
inently identified with the Olympic
games. and United States win also
always boost the games to other ma
tons, but before this country takes
part in another Olympiad the back
ers will raise the necessary. money
for the trip long before the time ar
rives for the Yankee teams to partici-
pate. This declaration was made re-
Gently by two officials of the Amer
lean Olympic committee, who were
lamenting the fact that the fund for
defraying expenses of Americas
team was only half subscribed, and
was still short 100000. There Is
little doubt but. that the necessary
coin will be Forthcoming, but, there
will be much nervousness IN the
American camp until it is finally
raised.
According to President Kirby, OF
the A, A. u. athletic authorities in
this country devoted more time to
obtaining athletes than they aid To
raising the necessary funds with
which to convey the team to Antwerp
for the games this summer. The drive
for funds was apparently poorly
handled. and was not started early
enough. as some sections of the coun-
try have never been canvassed. but
have made donations voluntarily be-
cause they were in sympathy with
rthe movement.
