caution here, however, may be neces-
sary. Breeders frequently become
overenthusiastic on family blOOdlines
regardless of how distant they may
be. In analyzing a pedigree consider
carefully the sire, grandsires, and
great-grandsires, or parents in the first
three generations, for they contribute
seven-eighths Of the heredfty. Look
for the names of famous individuals
in these first three generations. Back
of them the breeding should be con-

igree must not be overlooked, but It
is the bulls that determine its value

Of noted men as being the breeders Of
some of these animals. Remember
that breeder becomes famous by

GERMAN LABOR
Radical Plan Under Considera-
ton Is Meeting With Much
Disfavor.
LABOR UNIONS IN OPPOSITION
Scheme Is said to Be Working sue
eessfuIIy In Bulgaria, but the Men
Of Germany Are Not Believed In
Favor Of the Plan.

It is announced that the German
government has completed a scheme
for the introduction of compulsory
labor into Germany, with a view to
saving the country from financial ruin
and organizing the work of recon
struction. The scheme, which will
shortly be submitted to the cham
bers, is believed to be very drastic,
and imposes the obligation to work on
all Germans, women and men, between
the ages of seventeen and fifty-fve, for
one year, being modelled on a scheme
IN successful operation In Bulgaria.
German labor unions do not view
the scheme with enthusiasm, and a
long controversy is expected to fol-
low its introduction into the reichstag.

ATTENTION TO STALL FLOORS
Where Cement Is Used Bedding
Should Be Spread to Protect I'd

When planning new dairy barn,
the stall floors should be given care

sanitary and permanent and a nOn-con-
ductor Of heat. The drains and 81
legs may be concrete, but for stall
floors, cement is not wholly desirable.
When used, 1t must be covered with
