eto the increase of $500 previously dc
cided upon in the exemption for each

In selecting the breed of dairy cat
tie suited for his particular locality
the farmer should give close consid-
GRAFTON to two sources of income
! from this kind of stock, say special
lists of the Bureau of Animal Industry
United States Department of Agri-
culture. One part of the income is
represented by the sale of products,
either milk or butter fat; and the
other comes from the sale of surplus
stock. Often the latter may amount
TO a considerable sum, even though
the herd is composed of grade ami
mails.
Another point that he should bear
in mind is that no single breed is al
together superior to all others; 1T
may excel in certain features, but not
in all. 1t is best, therefore, to select
the breed which comes the nearest to
meeting the necessary conditions.
Most of the milk sold in towns and
cities is subject to certain require
ments as to quality. among which are
standards for the butter fat and milk
solids. For much milk, payment is
based upon quantity or weight, with
out special reference to any butter
fat content above the legal standard.
Local requirements differ greatly as
to the content of butter fat and SOL
ids.
Many cheese factories, and also
some condenseries, buy the milk on
the weight basis, provided a certain
minimum standard is reached. Re-
Gently it has become much more COM
mon among buyers to purchase milk
upon the basis of butter fat content.
This basis is being adopted among
large dealers in cities, and it un-
doubtedly is a much fairer method
than the straight-weight system. All
creameries and ice cream factories,
and many condenseries, buy milk or
cream on the butter-fat basis, and
majority of cheese factories also have
adopted this method of buying.
Consumers, as a rule, much prefer
milk of deep, rich color. which us
ually is considered to be an indica
tion of a large cream content. A dis
tinct and deep cream line in the milk
bottle is another feature by which the
quality of milk is judged. Although
generally the consumer does not want
to pay more for a better quality of
product, occasionally it is possible to
create a demand for rich milk at
higher price.
Very often the benefits of coopera-
tive effort are lost through the exer-
else of an inborn spirit of independ-
ence. Consequently, it frequently
happens that in the selection of

to the man who had given him a job.
"a little testing department would
save you money, said the boy, "and
| it wouldn't cost much either. You
buy a lot of material, first and last,
and I've found out that some of it
isn't up to standard. They're work
ing considerable off on you"
"How much will it cost?" asked
the owner of the plant.
Instantly the bay drew from his
pocket list of every item needed in
the equipment of the testing labora-
tory. He had it all ready, waiting
for the question. "Get it and go
ahead" said the man, after he had
glanced over the list.
The laboratory was installed, and
it saved the business a neat sum of
money.
The day that the boys period of
gratuitous service was up he appear
ed again at the proprietor's dask and
said: "My time is up, sir"
''But you stay" was the quick
answer, 'and the salary you get is
going to cover the unpaid time in
which you've been serving me-.
And it did. That wasn't so long
ago. The electric plant grew until
it was big enough to be absorbed"
1t has been absorbed several times
since; but the boy who struck for a
job stuck, through every change.
Each set of absorbing capitalists saw
that he was the one man who could
not be spared. They saw that he
knew the business as well as he knew
his old shoes. They played him for
a favorite and today he could buy out
the man who gave him his first job
buy him several times over. He is
the head of big electric corporation
and gets a salary of twleve or fifteen
thousand dollars a year, besides pro-
fits in half dozen thriving interests.
Any boy who has the stuff in him
to play the game today as that boy
played it will win out. You couldn't
keep him down if you buried him un-
der the dead weight of a skyscraper.
There are plenty of boys who are
waiting to accept a position-and al
ways will be, but when it comes to
boys who go out and beat the bushes
for job-just a plain job in which
they have a chance to make good
without regard to pay-theAre so
scarce they're in danger of being cap
tured for exhibition purposes in mu-
seums.
Nothing can stand against the boy
of this kind. The "give-me-a-job"
boy is sure to be distributing jobs to
others.-Exchange

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN
CHOOSING A BREED OF CATTLE T
The Market for Products Climate and Other Conditions and
Breeds Kept in the Community All Have
Important Bearing

breed no consideration is given to the
fact that another breed already may
be established in the locality. The
predominance of a certain breed in a
community offers many advantages.
A market is established which, be-
cause of the availability of large
numbers of animals, attracts buyers
from distance, especially those who
buy large consignments. Under such
circumstances 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 ma
terially 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 cat
/ tie, but also to the owners of grades.
Personal preference is very import
ant in choosing a breed, but too often
it is the only thing considered, lead
| ing sometimes to the selection of a
breed unsuited to local conditions with
resulting failure for the venture.
While the greater the interest in any
undertaking the more likely it is to
be successful, a dairyman at least
should consider his market and the
community breed, as well as his own
preference, in the matter of choosing
a breed.
In this country there is very wide
range of conditions, as to both topo-
graphy and climate. On rich, level
pastures all breeds thrive, but on
rough, hilly land, where pasturage is
scant, they do not show equal adapt
ability. In the extreme cold of the
north, with it's long winters, different
resisting qualities are needed as
compared with the almost tropical
heat in the southern parts of the
country.
In the United States four breeds
of dairy cattle have attained consid-
cradle prominence, namely, the Ayr
shire, Guernsey, Holstein-Friesian,
and Jersey. These breeds have been
developed carefully for a long time
for the purpose of dairy production,
and in consequence each transmits
its characteristics with regularity to
it's offspring. Certain distinct fea-
lures distinguish each breed from the
others but all possess ability as milk
producers. There is, of course, con-
siderable variation in the character
istics of individuals with each breed
