A Pair Of Red-Heads.

In the woods there was hardly
one of Solomon Owls neighbors
that couldn't point out the big
hemlock where he lived. And mis-
chievous fellows like Reddy Wood
pecker sometimes annoyed Solo
mon a good deal by rapping loud
ly on his door. When he thrust
his head angrily ou tof his house
and blinkeds in the sunlight, his
tormenters would skip away and
laugh. They laughed because they
knew that they had awakened Sol
ONION Owl. And they lodged out
of his reach because he was al
ways ill-tempered when anybody
disturbed his rest in the daytime.
Solomon Owl did not mind SO

was not played on him too often.
But after time it became one of
Reddy Wloodpecker's favorite
sports. Not only once, but several
times day did he go to the hem
lock grove to hammer upon Solo,
mons hollow tree. And each time
that he brought Solomon Owl to
his door Reddy Woodpecker laugh
ed more loudly than ever before.
Once Solomon forgot to take off
his nightcap Though he wore it
in the daytime, it really was a
nightcap). And Reddy Wood
pecker was SO amused that he
shouted at the top of his lungs.
I. Whats the joke?'. asked Solo
mon Owl in his deep. rumbling
voice. He tried to look very Sc
we're. But it is hard to look any
way except funny with a nightcap
on ones head.
AS luck had it, Jasper Jay
came hurrying up just then. He
had heard Reddy Woodpecker's
laughter. And if there was joke
he wanted to enjoy it. too.
Jasper Jay, alighting in a small
hemlock near Reddy Woodpecker,
asked the same question that Solo
mon Owl had just put to his rude
caller.
whats the joke ~ inquired JAS
per jay.
Reddy could not speak. He was
rocking back and forth upon a
limb. choking and gasping for
breath. But he managed to point
to the big tree where solomon Owl
lived.
And when Jasper looked. and
saw soionaon's great, round, pale,
questioning face, all tied up in a
red nightcap. he began to scream.

Nature allow them to think sanely,

FACTS
BLO0DED CALF FOR RAISING
and Believed Best Suited 70
Local Conditions.

II you have decided to select q
Of the breed that you admire most and
believe suited to your conditions, pro-
vided the community in which you live
has not already adopted some other
breed. You should cooperate with
your neighbors In developing one breed
for your community. You will also
obtain much valuable information
about calves by working and advising
with others, especially those who have
had more experience. Select good
purebred calf. 1t Is not sufficient that
1t be a purebred. 1t should be regis
tered, as shown by the registration
certificate furnished you by the breed
er and signed by the secretary of the
national association representing the
breed.
In addition to being a good individ-
ual it should have good breeding back
Of It. Its parents, grandparents, and
so on, should have been useful and
profitable to their owners. These facts
may be learned from a study Of the
calf's pedigree. To know a good pedi-
gree when you see it will require some
study on your part. Read history
Of your chosen breed. Become famll-
lar with individuals and hoodlines
which have been instrumental in build
ing up the breed. Such information
may be obtained from books sold by
publishing houses, from live stock
journals, or from bulletins issued by
your state college of agriculture, or by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Much valuable information
may be obtained also from the secre-
tary Of the registry association Of the
breed you select. The state associ
alton organized in the interest of your
favorite breed will be able to assist
you materially. Join such an associ-
alton at your first opportunity.

lished by the registry association of
the breed chosen. Study the advertis-
Ing section. Much can be learned from
the announcements Of sales and auc-
tions in regard to popular pedigrees.
Examine carefully the pictures Of the
breeds best specimens. Become IA
miliar with the names Of the breeds
noted individuals, both past and pres
ent and look for them in pedigree.
Attend public sales held by breed
ers. Study sale catalogues and note
the remarks made with reference to
the breeding of different animals. An
appreciation Of the esteem in which
the breeders hold blood lines of diff
ferent individuals may be gained by
noting the prices paid and the activity
Of the bidding on them. A word Of
caution here however, may be neces-
sary. Breeders frequently become
overenthusiastic on family bloodlines
regardless of how distant they may
be. In analyzing pedigree consider
carefully the sire, grandsires, and
great-grandsires, or parents in the first
three generations, for they contribute
seven-eighths of the heredity. Look
for the names of famous individuals
in these first three generations. Back
of them the breeding should be con-
sistent, without undesirable outcross-
es. OF course the females in the ped
igree must not be overlooked, but 1t
is the bulls that determine its value
to a great extent. Look for the names
of noted men as being the breeders OF
some Of these animals. Remember
that breeder becomes famous by
having produced noted animals.

ATTENTION TO STALL FLOORS
Where Cement ls Used Bedding
Should BE Spread to Protect ID
ders of the Cows.

When planning new dairy barn,
the stall floors should be given care
ful attention. A good floor should be
sanitary and permanent and a nOn-cOn-
ductor Of heat. The drains and ell
leys may be concrete, but for stall
floors, cement is not wholly desirable.
When used. 1t must be covered with
sufficient bedding to prevent the I'D

tact with 1t.

TO Determine AGE OF COWS

The common way of judging the age

the second one two years later, and
then one ring is formed each year.
