TYPES OF BABY BEEF cows
Three Important Factors Should Be
Kept In Mind In Making Seleo-
ton Of Breeders.

In selecting cows from which baby
beef Is to be produced, three very I'M
portant factors should be kept In
mind:
!. The COWS should have at least
. fair amount of beef blood. Pure
breds are not necessary. but two or
three crosses of such breeding is es-
Eential. Cows with preponderance
Of dairy blood will not do for the pro-
duction Of baby beef
2. Cows best suited for this type Of
breeding usually weigh 900 pounds OF
over In thrifty breeding condition. SO
long as early maturity Is not sacri-
feed, the heavier cows are the most
suitable for baby-beef production.
Size Of frame rather than weight
should govern In selecting cows which
are to be used for this purpose.
s. The COWS used to produce baby
beeves shouid produce enough milk
to keep the calves fat and growing
without much additional feed M to
weaving time.
In addition 20 these three factors,
such things ~ constitution. Uniform
lty Of breeding. color. size and early
maturity should b considered.

BOY SCOUTS IN HUNGARY.

Scouting is ten years old in Hun
Gary and, though the war stopped Its
growth for time, the movement was
reorganized and put on a firm basis
In September, 1919. In It's earlier
stages the Hungarian scout associa-
ton was, like the German, semi.
military organization, but with its re
establishment 1t has rejected the, mil
itary element and founded Itself on
the British and American nonmilitary
basis. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of. Hun
gary was severe blow to the progress
Of the movement inasmuch as more
than so per cent of the Magyar troops
are now in occupied territories. .Offi-
GERS, money and equipment are badly
needed. Some of the boy scouts have
no money even to purchase shoes,
much less scout uniforms. Most of
the leaders are professional men or
clerks who have a hard enough strug.
gle to earn their own living and yet
they devote time and often money to
the cause. -NHf .;r.

Hungarian old scout, that despite
hardships and sufferIngs, our scouts

In real scout spirit, follow the path
which leads to our great goal-good

The Hungarian boys are particularly
anxious to be included in the Inter
national Brotherhood Of Scouts and

somebody else did. Hearing of the

take the census. If desired They did,
