Long distance kisses and a beauti-

GET FIGURES ON PUREBREDs
Bureau of Census Completing Tabuia.
tIon for States Not Vet Shown
In Reports.

On account Of the great interest
which the United States Department
of Agriculture finds has been shown
In census figures Of purebred live stock
In ten representative farm states, the
bureau Of the census is proceeding
with plans to complete the tabulation
for the remaining states. This work
is receiving the hearty cooperation of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Live stock specialists of the
department regard such figures as
very valuable as factors In production
problems, and as indicating develop
ments In the improvement Of domestic
animals in this country. -
It Is understood that the final census
figures pertaining to purebred live
stock on farms will be available at the
same time the general live stock fig
ures are furnished. 1t is thought that
this will.be some time during the COM
ing summer. Breeders and breeders
associations interested In this work
have already indicated their apprecia-
tion Of the value Of the figures thus far
available. It Is the first time in the
history Of any country that accurate
figures on the total number Of purebred
animals on farms have been compiled.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

Many fields Of wheat in the state
are not yielding more than from five
to six bushels per acre and but few
fields are reported at more than twen-
ty bushels per acre, according to re.
ports received by c. J. West, Agricul.
tural Statistician. Threshing is about
half done taking the state as a whole
and the average quality is from sew.
enty-five to eighty per cent. There
is universal complaint that wheat is
turning out generally poor compared
with the straw owing to the shortness
OF the heads and to the low quality
OF the grain. The charge for thresh.
ing runs from six, to ten cents per
bushel with a statewide average of
seven and one-half cents.
The quality of the oats threshed is
reported as inferior in many sections
OF the state and with low yields. Num-
erous reports have been received of
oats fields allowed to stand without
cutting.
The drouth has seriously affected
corn in certain sections of the state,
tho in parts of the state, notably the
southeastern, the rainfall has been
ample for the growth of corn. Chinch
bugs are reported in northwestern
counties.

taken to keep the interior Of the coop

to choose sandy slope where tho

Is also protection from heavy rains.
II necessary, the mother-hen can be
confined to ro0my coop for week
or more, provided she Is properly fed
and watered, and the coop moved to
fresh ground every day.
II the weather Is warm and dry, AZ
frequently happens when the poults
are hatched late in the season, no
shelter is required, as they do better
in the open; but 1t is advisable to
keep them within a fenced inclosure
for the first three or four days until
they are strong enough to follow the
mother. Weather conditions being ia
vorable, the hen and brood can be
given free range after the third or
fourth day, but care should be taken
to keep them out Of heavy dews and
to protect them from rain for the first
two or three weeks. After this early

sets in, however, they will need to be
kept in dry quarters, for nothing is
more fatal to young poults than wet

When about six weeks old, the young
turkeys are old enough to go to roost.
Practically all turkey raisers allow
the birds to roost in the open trees or
on fences or other roosts especially
provided for them. In sections where
high winds prevail, 1t is customary to
build the roosts next to barn or shed,
where there Is some protection. When
this is done posts are driven into the
ground and poles laid across them four
Of five feet from the ground. BY driving
them to the roosting place and feeding
them there every evening just before
dark, young turkeys can be made I'd.

few times 1t Is sometimes necessary
to keep them under the roost until
dark, but they will finally fly up, and
after a week or SO will no longer have
to be driven, but will come up every
night to be fed and to roost.
During the summer and early fall
turkeys can find an abundance Of feed
on the average farm. Grasshoppers
and other insects, weed and grass
seeds, green vegetation, berries, and
grain picked up in the fields all 20 b
make up the turkeys daily ration.
When this natural feed is plentiful
very little need be added until fatteap
Ing time, except for the purpose Of
bringing the turkeys every night to
roost and to keep them from strayine
from home. For this purpose one feed
Of grain every night Just before roost-
ing time is sufficient.

BEST DEVELOPMENT OF CALF.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
NO part OF dairy farming is more es-
sential than the proper feeding of
young calves. Likewise nothing Is
more Important for the best develop
ment Of calves than good supply Of
milk and skim milk In the ration. In
the past few years the surplus Of these
products has been utilized as human
food In the form of condensed and
powdered milk and skim milk. Re-
ports recently received by the. United
States Department Of Agriculture, how
ever, point to temporary surplus of
these products during the flush season,
due to decreased export outlet Un.
til this situation Is adjusted, 1t would
seem advisable to utilize the surplus
milk and skim milk as feed for live
stock.
In raising dairy calves most dairy
men prefer that the calf remain with
the cow for the first 4S hours. II It
Is taken away then the COW will be
less nervous when she begins to be
milked again for commercial purposes
than II they are allowed to run to-
gether for long period.
1t 10 desirable that the calf be in
thrifty, vigorous condition when it is
taughtto to drink. 1t may be left with
out food for II hours, at the end of
which time 1t will be hungry, and with
little teaching will usually drink
milk from the pail. Warm, fresh milk
from the mother should be put In a
clean pail and held near the floor in
front Of the calf, which will generally
begin to nose about the pail. Once 1t
gets taste Of milk, it will usually
drink without further trouble. Some
times. however, more vigorous meas
ures must be taken. Il
The quantity of milk fed to a calf
depends upon its size and age, and to
some extent on the kind and condition
of feed, but experiments by the
Department Of Agriculture indicate
that about one pound a day should
be fed' for every ten pounds weight Of
the Gulf ut BIRTH. Many beginners
make the mistake Of letting the calf
have q much milk as It wants. This
would be all right II the calf were fed
every two or three hours, as when 1t
runs with the cow, but as 1t is i'm.
practicable ordinarily to feed more
than two or three times a day, It Is
best Ito keep the quantity well below
the capacity Of the calf and not risk
overfeeding.
For the first four days milk from the
dam should be fed. After this the
milk may be from any COW or cows in

Plenty Of exercise is essential IL the
turkey poults are to thrive, say pouI-
try specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. At all
times, when rain or dampness does
not prevent, the poults should be al
lowed to run In and out Of the coop
at will. Too much stress cannot be
given to the necessity of exercise, and
the only way to provide for this is
to allow the poults at every possible
opportunity to range for feed outside
the coop. During a long-continued
rainy season it is better to allow them
to run out Of the coop whenever it Is
not actually raining, even though the
grass is somewhat damp.

CARE AND FEEDING or STOCK
Vermont Live Stock Owner Says Cause
Of Runts Is Due to Neglect Dur
Ing First Year.

!. In contributing his experiences on
the cause Of runty live stock In re-
cent inquiry conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, a
Vermont farmer urges greater care In
the early life Of domestic animals.
when people can be educated to the
proper care and feeding Of stock he
declares, "the runt win be practically
wiped out. The reason, perhaps. why
there are not 80 many runts In pure
bred herds as In others Is because the
man who cares what kind Of stock he
keeps cares enough to care for them
better" He concludes that one Of the
principal factors In the cause Of runty
live stock is the man who has the care

the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Whole milk is
preferable for the first two weeks,
after which skim milk may be substi-
tuted, commencing with one pound a
day and increasing to two or four
pounds, depending on the vigor of the
calf. No more skim milk should be
fed than the calf will drink readily.
In most cases at the end of the third
week the ration should be approx
mately one-half whole and one-half
separate milk. -
At the beginning of the fourth week
from one-half to three-fourths of the
ration should be separated milk. Dur
ing the week the change should be con-
,tinued until by the beginning Of the
fifth week only separated milk is fed.
In specially vigorous calves the change
may be made a week earlier. After
this time separated milk may be fed
entirely. unless the calf is very deli
cate. The quantity fed can be gradu-
ally Increased until 10 to 20 pounds
q day are given. II milk is very plen-
tiful, more may be fed, but otherwise
1t will not be found economical.
The time that milk should be dis
continued depends upon Its cost in re-
lation to the value OF the calf, its
breed, size, vigor, etc. The season In
which It reaches the age Of six months,
and the other feeds available at that
time, must also be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. Six months ID probably good
average age at which to wean calves
from milk. Where there Is plenty OF
skim milk available this time may be
heightened. When the best;;of hay and

GIRL DOES
BRAVE DEED

We are hearing lately many re-
ports of incidents in which unusual
courage is shown BY women or girls.
One of these occurred a few days
ago in the Niagara River, just above
the Falls.
Three girls, ranging from twelve
to fifteen years of age, were camping
on the river bank and had adopted
the dangerous practice of swimming
near the shore where the current was
not strong enough to sweep them
away to the Falls below. On the day
in question one was overcome; and
as she was being borne away, her
twelve-year-ol sister leaped in to
try to save her. She, too, was swept
away. Then the third one, Phyllis
Perry by name, plunged twice into
the swirling water az brought them
both to the shore. few men, even
though expert swimmers, would have
dared to attempt the feat.

that DELICATE
QUESTION

This is a dry country-at least in
spots We drink water-aIso in
spots.
Foreign countries are almost uni
versally "wet." They drink wine,
champagne and beer. To them water
is good for ducks and baths
The bringing Of booze into this
country is punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment.
A conference of envUys from many
nations is to be held in Washington
in November by invitation Of the
president. This conference is to pro
vide means Of preserving the world
intact for future generations.
These ENJOYS are accustomed to
their wine and liquors with their
meals, just as we are to our coffee,
tea or water. It is habit bred into
them from infancy. To dispense
with it would be as great a hardship
to them as the deprivation of coffee
would be to US.
Are they to be allowed to bring
their liquors in violation of our laws
or will they be politely advised in ad-
vance that water is good for them as
we'll as for ducks and baths?
And if they do bring it, will they
further violate our laws by standing
treat to the thirsty multitudes of
Washington?
An envoy from another govern
ment is immune from arrest, and his
baggage is not subject to search. Yet
the bringing of contraband into this
country constitutes an affront to the
president Of the United States.
It is a delicate question, yet it will
undoubtedly be solved in some man
ner without undue embarrassment to
our distinguished visitors.
We fear, however, that when they
reach Washington they will find them
selves possessed Of more friends"
than they ever dreamed of having.
There are times when that lawful
thirst" respects neither law nor per-
son.

GOAL
IN EDUCATION

One of the great obiectives, or
aims, of the new education which the
schools of America have accepted
and are trying to realize is better
physical development and more eff
fective health training for the child
ren.
The city of Mansfield, Ohio, has
been selected by the National Child
Health Council as one in which to
carry on ive-year experiment in
the raising and development of chill
dren, the purpose being to show
what can be done by concerted ac-
ticn to increase the health and the
strength of the rising generation"
The physical, or health aim, as it
is called in the new education, is
worthy Of the most careful attention
of mothers everywhere It is one of
the things that have been accepted
as of more importance than the old
type of school lessons learned from
books, to secure which we have al
ways been willing to stunt the child
ren's bodies. 1t has for it's ultimate
purpose the physical regeneration of
the race; nor does there seem much
doubt that it will some day be more
or less completely realized.
