the Surplus Stock.
A market is established which, be-
cause of the availability of large num-
bers of animals, attracts those who buy
large consignments. Under such cir
cumstances all surplus stock may be
disposed of to better advantage, and
cooperative advertising also may be
used effectively. In addition, bulls
may be bought comparatively or ex-
changed with facility, thus very mate
rally reducing the cost Of service in
the herd.
Any necessary additions to the herd
can be obtained, without expense for
travel, from neighbors' herds with
whose history the buyer is thoroughly
familiar These advantages apply not
only to the breeder of purebred cattle,
but also to the owners of grades.
In this country there is very wide
range of >6SGditions, as to both to-
biography and climate. On rich, level
pastures all breeds thrive, hut on
rough, billy land, where pasturage is
Seant, they do not show equal adapt
ability. In the extreme cold of the
North, with its long winters, different
resisting qualities are needed as COM
pared with the almost tropical heat in
the southern parts of the country.
In the United States four breeds Of
dairy cattle have attained consider
able prominence, namely the Ayrshire,
Guernsey, Holstein-Frtesian and Jer-
sey. These breeds have been devel.
oped carefully for long time for the,
purpose of dairy production, and In
consequence each transmits its char
acteristics with regularity to its Off
spring. Certain distinct features dis
tlnguish each breed from the others,
but all possess ability as milk pro
ducers. There is, of course, consider
able variation in the characteristics
of individuals within each breed.

Cutting AppIluue.

Many women find it difficult to make
cutouts from cretonne or silk for ap-
pliQue work because the edges fray,
but this kind of a cutOut will solve
your difficulties: Stencil or paint your
designs on double-faced rubber sheet
ing. Then cut out each one and glue
it to the fabric you want to use. The
sheeting is heavy enough SO that it
stands out, and the edges do not ravel
out at all.

GRAIN MIXTURE FOR CALVES

"A St Bernard in the town of Everett,

First he woke up the families ia two

resulting shine will not last very lonS.
In summer the grease used for wa
terproofing shoes and boots should be
harder than that used in winter. Since
heavily creased shoes have tendency
to cause the feet to perspire and swell
in hot weather, and there is also less
need for the water-resistant shoes in
summer than in winter and spring,
it is rarely advisable to put as much
grease on the shoes at that time of
the year. In summer, the quantity
of grease used should not exceed the
amount that the leather will take up
without leaving its surface greasy. In
winter, especially if it is desired to
get the greatest water resistance,
mixture of grease and oils that is not
too hard when cold is required more
of this grease than the leather will
absorb may be used An excess will
do no harm and will make the leather
more water resistant.
interpreting Formulas.
For waterproofing boots and shoes,
nothing better than the following SIM
pie formulas is known to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. While the de-
partment believes that these formulas
do not infringe on any existing patents
or pending applications for patents, 1t
can assume no responsibility.
Formula L: ounces of neutral
wool grease, ounces dark petrolatum,
and 4 ounces paraffin wax.
Formula 2: / pound petroleum., 2
ounces beeswax.
Formula 8: ounces petrOlatum,
4 ounces paraffin wax, 4 ounces wool
grease and ounces crude turpentine
gum (gum thus).
Formula A: II ounces tallow and
ounces cod oil.
Should Be Melted Together.
In each case the ingredients of the
mixture should be melted together by
warming them carefully and stirring
thoroughly. Better penetration is OBJ
tanned if the grease is applied warm,
but it should never be hotter than the
hand can bear.
Grease thoroughly the edge of the
sole and the welt, as this is where
shoes leak most. The sole should also
be thoroughly impregnated with the
grease thereby increasing its water re-
sistance, durability, and pliability. The
sole can be most conveniently water
PROCEED by letting the shoe stand for
about 10 minutes in shallow pan con-
tanning enough of the melted water
sole. Rubber heels, however, should
not be allowed to stand in the grease,
tfs it softens, the rubber.
