THERE IS V|G0R
IN RICH BLOOD
Pepto-Mangan' in Liquid or Tab
Iets-a Blood Builder.

Vigor ard strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood Is rich when
there are plenty of red corpuscles.
They are the tiny red cells which swim
In blood ana give it its color. Without
red corpuscles blood would be white.
When overwork, or straining, or ILL.,
ness weakens the blood, it diminishes
the number of red cells. Without O
sufficient number Of red cells the blood
becomes watery, the body weak. Vigor
and strength fall off, so that physical
life diminishes like fading plant. The
physical pleasures of eating and Sleep
ing and exercise lose. all attraction.
There is no zest in living.
After Guides Pepto-Mangan has been
taken for a while the blood becomes
rich with red cells. They help to nour-
ish the entire syste With good blood
at work there is ! great difference in
living. Eating, sleeping and exercise
are enjoyed. All druggists sell Guides

for two years without danger Of in.
breeding. If there were five lots of
cows and five bulls, and the bulls were
rotated from one herd to another
every two years, each bull would have
q period of usefulness of possibly 10
years, and may easily have added 75O
head Of young stock, with due pro
portion of high milk-producing heifers.
AS the first generation Of heifers be-
came mixers, the breeding value OF
the bulls would become established
and any inferior sires could be Weeded
out. Five bulls kept for ten years may
change the entire dairy industry of a
community and possibly give it's cattle
distinctiveness that would be a
valuable market asset.
Cooperative bull associations have
existed in Europe for long time. In
America the system is only twelve OF
thirteen years old, but records of milk
and butter-fat production are in pos.
session of the department, showing
tangible benefit far exceeding the
cost to the cow owners.
At New Windsor, Nd, for instance,
seven daughters Of one sire averaged
27O.5 pounds Of butter fat year, an
improvement over the average OF
2O8.3 pounds for their dams. This was
only the first generation. The FIVE
block association will permit line
breeding with greatly increased pos
sibilities.
TO organize a cooperative bull as
sociation it is first advisable to arouse
as much interest as possible in the
plan through meetings, conversation,
and the circulation Of Department OF
Agriculture literature. 1t is possible
that the county agent or even some
state or federal agricultural repre-
sentative can be induced to help per-
sonally. Advice can always be OBJ
tcined from the department by mall.
Forms can be had from the depart
ment for a preliminary agreement, in
which, among other things, the number
Of cows owned by each prospective
member is listed. When a sufficient
. number of cows have been listed, a
meeting should be called and arrange
ments made for incorporation. Each
member would contribute in proper
ton to the number Of cows he owns,
but would have only one vote.
AS early as possible, the temporary
or permanent secretary should begin
corresponding with breeders having
high-grade bulls for sale One bull
should be purchased for about every
IS cows. The cows should be divided
into blocks Of that number, with re-
gard to geographical convenience, and
arrangements made for the keeping OF
the bull by responsible member
whose farm is conveniently located.
The fees should be. such as to cover
the purchase cost and the cost of keep
for a year and annual assessments
provided thereafter.
Valuable information on the forma-
ton and conduct Of bull associations
will be found in Farmers Bulletin
093, which the department will send
Tree ON request. SuPpieuoAeoA AN
formation, including plans for a model
bull pen, and data on the operation
and success of various established bull
associations can also be had by cor
respondence. The department is doing
everything in it's power to promote the
cooperative bull association move
ments as one Of the most valuable ad.
yances made in modern dairying.

Every dairy farmer knows that he

but the idea of establishing bl0oded

farming and bankruptcy. Two-
thousand dollar cows and two-dollar

Yet the United States Department of
Agriculture annually is leading
hundreds of farmers toward the pos
session of herds that will increase
the former milk and butter
fat yield with the same outlay for
upkeep. One of the most useful
agencies is the cooperative bull
association.
A high-grade COW will impart her ex-
cellent qualities to one calf in year,
and the total Of high grade farm cattle
is increased by one. On the other
hand, bull whose mother had the
same milk and butter qualifications,
and whose father Is descended from
a milk and butter strain, may sire as
many as Is calves, each carrying its
share of the racial excellence. This
bull can do duty with one lot of cows
