floor space was occupied by swelter-

TO make his address he faced an audi

walked to the edge of the platform
and stood looking out over that silent
sea of upturned faces. with scarcely
an Idea of what he was to say. Yet
he felt tingling thrill of pleasure

ALL SCRUB soWS DISCARDED
Florida Farmer Not Satisfied With
Quality Of Stock He Was Keep
ing Disposes of Females.

Two purebred sires and 20 head Of
scrub female live stock were the prop

ago. Not satisfied, however, with the
quality of stock kept. he disposed of
all his scrub sows, nine in number.
Likewise. he is incubating 80 eggs OF
standardized poultry as a basis for
a .well-bred flock to replace his scrubs.
These facts. reported to the United

Northwestern States Raise Most Of

Although most of the crops of this
country are produced in many of the
states, If not all. IL is not generally
realized that a large fraction of the
national crop. perhaps most Of it. is
the product of a few states. Speak
ing for 1910, 1t may be said that near
ly one-half of the great corn crop is
found In the five states of Iowa, Illi-
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 flax seed: Penn
syIvanla and New York. nearly two
thirds Of buckwheat; Louisiana, about
one-half of the rice. and that state.
California, and Texas nearly seven
elghths.
Tobacco is highly concentrated in
Kentucky and North Carolina. from
which more than one-half of the crop
came. Texas. Georgia and South Car

the cotton; Alabama. Texas and Vir-
ginia more than one-half of the pea

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 "a Ont llllit- ne
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 great deal toward encour-
aging boys to own calves. The plan.
ordinarily, is to lend a 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 1t can be done, that the COW be-
come the basis of the boys arithmetic
at school.
For the average boy, II Is pointed
out, arithmetic is not related to life.

The figures are not symbols-they are
just figures. Every problem is an alb
stract 4 times 4. or per cent of 1856,
extremely tiresome and uninteresting,
because IL 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 ii 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 IL contains, how
much butter it would make. and what
1t 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 a prac-
teal 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 a 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 line need
not be confined to boys, either. There
are probably nearly as many girls as
there are boys who could very well I'M
dertake the management of a cow.
