pay Loss For Better Bulls.

A survey recently made in connec-
+;on with the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign carried on by the
limited States Department OF Agrl-
culture shows a general ratio OF l
hull to every 1873 cows. Experience
however. in Pennsylvania, the state
which leads in the number Oh pull
associations, shows that 90 bulls are
sufficient for the 5,6O4 COWS belong
ing TO members of the bull assocla-
,ions. or an average of about bull
for every 60 COWS. These figures are
taken from the bull-association direc-
tory recently issued by the DAIRY
Division United States Department OF
Agriculture.
II the members of these assocla-
lions owned their bulls individually
at the usual ratio of 1 bull for every
1873 COWS, they would need 296 bulls
instead of SO. Yet the SO bulls give
the required service as effectively as
2s6 would do, and in fact better be-
cause the resulting offspring are bet
ter. The association bulls are OF bet
ter quality than the ordinary run OF
sires privately owned, and their
daughters are apt to be better-produc-
ing cows.
Even this does not tell the whole
story. After an individually owned
sire has been used for about TWO
wears it is usually necessary to get a
new one. In eight years, THEREFOR
these Pennsylvania farmers, II they
owned their bulls separately, would
have to provide themselves with -FOUR
times 2s6 bulls, or 1854; whereas IN
the bull associations at the end OF two
wears they simply move each bull to
another block. The original 93 bulls
II they all live and do well, can DE
used for the whole eight years.
There is quite a difference between
the cost of SO bulls and that OF LISA
TO say nothing Of the difference In
their usefulness.
The members of bull associations
sometimes pay less and always re-
ceiye more for their money than COW
owners who go it alone.

FARM DEPARTMENT.

That makes 1t necessary for the farm
er and the entomologist to take a
hand in the fight on the sire of the
good bugs and sprinkle the wheat
with tobacco extract and such things.
This will help but will not get them
all
Both state and nation are watching
this pesky immigrant, for If some
thing doesn't check him he may trav-
ell on into Oklahoma and Kansas and
establish himself in the whole Missis-
sippi basin, destroying wheat worth
many millions. Wheat growers all
along the line will be kept advised of
his baneful progress.

during the mating season. Deer,
believe are always silent, except that
the bucks give warning sound, gen.
orally called a whistle or snort, which
however, sounds very much like the
sharp blowing of steam out of small
pipe.
II you hear the bucks whistle at
night Unexpectedly, while you are
walking alone on dark wild trail,
it will probably give you the ereeps
and make your hair stand up. con-
fess that IT had that effect on me,
although l knew perfectly we'll what
the sound meant and who made it.
The first time heard 1t friend had
fired at a brown fern leaf in the be-
lief that it was a deer The echo of
the shot had not died away, when
something splashed and rushed from
nearby meadow into the timber,
and then came, like challenge, the
whistling snort of big buck. Sew
eral times IL was repeated; and for
about ten minutes we could hear the
challenger beat about and stamp his
feet in the brush. However, he was
wise enough not to show his tawny
coat to the gunner, and / was glad
that the laugh was on the hunter.
The moose has hardly any tail at
all, but the deer does crazy a short
white tail, which is raised like flag
when the animal bounds away over
stumps and brush.
Have you ever thought what be-
comes of the horns which moose and
deer drop every winter? 1t is sell
dom that one finds a perfect speci-
men. The fact is most of them are
literally eaten up. BY whom? BY
porcupines squirrels and wild mice.
Just what attracts them to this
strange diet l have never been able
to explain.
Deer are dainty browsers. They
nip a bit here and there. They like
the pea vines and the red hips of the
wild roses and the bearded lichens
that hang in gray festoons from
spruces and tamaracks. In winter,
when the snow is deep, both moose
and deer often suffer pangs of hun
ger; and at such times they will
browse on anything within reach.
The time OF greatest danger for
moose and deer occurs when the snow
hos formed a crust strong enough to
hold the wolves, but not strong
enough to hold the heavier moose and
deer. At such times hundreds of
fine animals are killed-Our Dumb
Animals.

why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you.
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold pre-
,ares the system for the reception and
development of the grms of consump-
ton, diphtheria, scarlet fever and
whooping cough. The quicker you
get rid of your cold, the less the dan
ger of contracting one of these di-
seases. Chamberlains Cough Rene
dy has a great reputation as a cure
for colds and can be depended upon.
1t is pleasant to take. m

HENRY CLAWS PHYSICIAN
Is NOW 1O3 YEARS OLD

Breckenridge, Mo-, March 10
Henry Clay's physician, DR.. Joseph
Singer Halstead, had just celebrated
his one hundred and third birthday.
One hundred and three roses the
gift of every man, woman and child
in Breckenridge were presented to
the aged doctor.
DIR. Halstead and his wife, who is
80, are both still hale and hearty,
and held open house for hundreds of
their friends from this section of the
state all day who came to congratu-
late the venerable doctor and to view
the many Henry Clay relics owned
by him.
DIR. Halstead lived and practised
medicine in Kentucky during the
height of Clay's career. In 1860 he
moved to Breckenridge and purchas-
ed a 24O-acre farm on the outskirts
of the city, which he still owns.
"And l can boast of one thing
that few others can" DR.. Halstead
says. THAT is, that l am the fourth
to own this farm. The first was the
king of Spain. The next was Napo-
leon Bonaparte, and the third the
United States"
The Halsteads were married in
1852. Mrs. Halstead was the belle
of one of the first families in Ken
lucky and the niece of Charles A.
Wyckliffe twice governor of the state.
Eight children and fifty-eight
grandchildren, great-grandchildren
and Observation-Disclosures were
among those present at the birthday
celebration.

DEER IN MINNESOTA.

Next to the moose, the white-tailed
deer are the most interesting big
game of the state forest.
About twenty-five years ago this
region was inhabited by moose and
caribou, but since the deer have been
crowded out of their more southerly
range, and wolves are less numerous,
they have become plentiful in north
eastern Minnesota.
Deer, although wary and timid, are
exceedingly curious. Last summer
my lady and l were somewhat puz-
zled by mysterious noises, which we
heard now and then in the thicket of
the original forest. My lady sug-
gested prowling Indians, wolves and
bears. falling trees. One evening at
dusk, after we had heard the noises
for two or three days, We learned
more about the maker Of them. A
large buck, with antlers like branches
OF tree against the lake, was fur
lively scouting behind our cook tent.
Now he glanced nervously at the
cabin, from which showed the light
of the logs in the fireplace. Now he
came to the wooden walk leading to
the dock. Just beyond 1t our canoe
was turned over. The sight Of these
thinga WAS IN much for the nerves of
a wild deer. He faltered, then turn
ed back, walked into the lake, swan
around the dock and vanished into
the timber a hundred yards beyond.
However, we had never fired a gun
of any kind near the cabin and he
had not been alarmed, and next day !
found a bush of moose maple well
cropped near the place where he had
landed.

BIucstone-Limc Treatment Reduces
Wheat Smut Losses.

Wheat Smut Losses.
Losses caused by stinEing smut in
California were reduced to about
per cent on wheat crop TO 9,S40,-
900 bushels in 1920 by treating seed
by the bluestcae-limc method. The
State Colleee of Agriculture esti-
mates that sinking smut has caused
losses ranging frcm 100000 to 5OO,-
600 bushels annually. In 1918 the
loss was estimated at 5.s per cent
of the total crop.
County agents in 1918 began adj
yising and demonstrating the blue
stone-lime treatpent for the control
of this smut as recommended by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. These treatments brought
such encouraging results that seed
treatment has since become quite
general. In 1920 losses were reduc-
ed to about 100000 bushels. 1t is
conservatively estimated, on the ba-
sis of $3.50 per bushel for wheat,
that demonstrations on wheat-smut
control given by the county agents in
California resulted in a saving OF
100000 for the farmers Of that
State last year.
