Boy Scouts of America)
SCOUTS WANT A BOY CENSUS

At the recent annual meeting Of the
National Council Of the Boy Scouts Of
America, Vice President Mortimer L.
Schiff In offering a resolution calling
attention to the need of more COM
plete census of the youth of the nation.
said that this was "a resolution hav-
ing to do with what probably every
body connected with boy scout work
has run up against, the lack of data
about the youth in this country. AS
has been stated, we know the number
Of hogs, but we don't know the num-
ber of boys"
The resolution declares that 1t is of
the utmost importance that there
should be available for use of the
scouts and other organizations inter-
ested in the welfare OF the youth of
the nation, all possible data relating
to this subject, and states that inves-
tigation has proved that practically no
uniform data of this sort is available
as basis for thorough study of the
situation and further development Of
their respective programs for the serv-
Ice of the youth.
1t was therefore resolved to request
that the federal government and the
various states of the United States
shall at their earliest convenience,
through their various appropriate de-
partments, collate. and make available
for the scouts use and that of other
organizations such data as will pro-
vide intelligent. efficient and economic
promotion of the program tending to
the making of good citizenship; and
that the United States bureau of edu-
cation, census bureau and department
of child welfare be especially urged to
collate such data as is absolutely nee
essary for thorough investigation Of
the problems involved.

DAIRY NOTES

Scrub bulls make scrub farmers.
Use only purebred bulls. Several
neighbors can buy bull together.
The sale of dairy products furnishes
a steady income throughout the year.
Give every COW chance to do her
best. Many dairy farmers do not feed
COWS enough.
Cutting poor hay and feeding it to
poor COW will make both land and
owner poorer.
Most times ii is the calf that has
been roughly handled that develops
ipto the clicking cow.
Calves should also have free access
to good hay. Upland wild hay and
clover hay are excellent.
The per cent of butterfat in a
COWS milk is not sure index to her
capacity as a butter maker.

FIREMEN FORM SCOUT TROOPS

Boy Scout troops are to be formed
and attached to the fire houses in Pas
sale, N j. Commissioner Preiskel
says:
"Boy Scout troops are to be formed
and attached to the fire houses In Pas
sale, N. ]. We want as many troops
of Boy Scouts formed in our fire
houses as can be accommodated.
want to offer prize to the fire house
developing the best troop. We want
to set the pace and maintain lead
on all other municipalities and really
do things In scouting.
II cannot think of any work a mar
could have In which he would be more
privileged or be able to render a great
er telling service, than the work of as
sisting in the training of the youth"
The troops attached to the fire
houses will be specially trained in the
prevention of fires, handling of rope
lines, etc. Special requirements will
be adopted for this branch of the
work. with the possibility Of the adop
ton of special insignia for the scouts
who become members of such troops

SCOUTS NOW IN So COUNTRIES.

Few people realize the magnitude
Of the boy scouts as world move
ment for boyhood betterment. There
are boy scouts now In 81 nations.
When you stop to consider that there
are at present approximately 9oo,oV
scout leaders in the United States
alone and that million and half
boys in this country have had the bene'
fit of scout training during the ten
years since the movement started. you
can see that If scouting is conducted
on anywhere near so great scale in
other countries the figures are stag
gering. The fundamentals of scouting
nre the same everywhere, so, though
each country is organized independent
ly, the boy scouts is really one great
big world movement, perhaps numeri
cally the largest ever known.

COOL MILK IN HOT WEATHER
Essential to Pipe Spring Water 70
Dairy House, Where It Should
Flow Into Tank.

City regulations now require that
milk be cooled artificially as soon as 1t
Is drawn from the COW. According to
specialists in the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, the most sim
ple and efficient method of handling
this matter Is to harness natural re-
sources on farms having permanent
springs that flow throughout the year
and do not dry up in the summer
1t is essential to pipe the spring wa
ter to the dairy house where it should
flow into a concrete tank of size ade-
quate to provide ample space for cool
ing the maximum production of milk
on that farm The tank should also be
provided with an outlet or overflow so
that constant stream Of water passes
through it. Ingenious farmers may be
able to devise some other use for this
flow of water during the time when
the tank is not needed for cooling milk
Ordinarily the temperature of the
spring water In the tank does not get
lower than 55 degrees F.
On dairy farms where springs are
not available 1t is customary 10 use
concrete cooling tanks which are in
sulated with cork and provided with a
hinged top, SO that ice can be used to
decrease the temperature of the water
in which the milk cans are placed
Generally these tanks are made in two
divisions, so that when most of the
cows are dry the smaller compartment
can be used for cooling the dairy prod
ucts. as its use necessitates smaller

FUTURE USEFULNESS OF cow
Great Deal Depends on How Calf 10
Brought Up First Year-Give
Plenty Of RoughaQe.

The future usefulness of the COW de-
pends great deal upon how the calf
is brought up during the first year. It
should have plenty Of water and salt
presented in clean vessels, sudden
changes of diet avoided and regularity
of feeding practiced. Warm. dry
quarters are necessary if the weather
rs damp.
Plenty of roughage should be fed
and not too much grain, for then a
large capacity for handling food, so
desirable in dairy animals, will be de-
veloped. When six months old milk
should be omitted from the calf's ra-
tion, and a full roughage and grain
diet substituted.

Kills Young Chickens and Destroys
Eggs Of Other sirds, But on
Other Hand He Kills Field
Mice and Insects.

Washington.-The United States BIZ
illogical survey sends out a bulletin
about the crow. 1t says that the big,
black fellow is the farmers friend and
should not be exterminated, and 1t
goes on to assert that many crows re-
Gently examined were found to eat 3S
per cent grain and 50 per cent May
beetles, tussock moths, grasshoppers,
gypsy moths, army worms, chinchbugs
and brown moths So he is about twice
as good rs he Is bad.
But the crow also kills young chick
ems and destroys the eggs OF other
birds. George F. Burba writes in the
Columbus Dispatch. Charge that up
against him along with the 3S per cent
grain which he eats. Then on the
other hand, set down large number
of field mice and cutworms which he
also gets away with and there is still
balance in his favor. Besides, much
of the grain the crow eats would be
wasted anyway, since he picks up the
scattered kernels in the field and eats
a lot of very poor corn and wheat that
wouldn't be any account to anybody
else.
Hunted Become Intelligent.
The government bulletin isn't going
to have much effect, one way or an
other, however. Everybody takes a
shot at a crow whenever he gets a
chance, but the crows persist They
have been warred upon so much that
they have become very intelligent.
Take note of that-anything that is

whatever you want to call It, Other
wise they would disappear

on fences when they see man in the
