DEVELOPMENT OF GOOD COWS
Typical Letter From pairyman Aiding
in Better Sircs--Better Stock"
Campaign.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
To illustrate how a good herd of cat
tie may be developed from q small be-
ginning, the United States Department
Of Agriculture makes public the follow
ing letter from a farmer near Nokes-
Vile, Va. This letter IS typical Of
many contributed by practical farmers
aiding in the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign.
II am a farmer and dairyman. /
milk rs cows and raise about two
calves a year so as to be able TO Gull
my herd two cows year and replace
with young calves.
II started with common grades Of
all kinds, but they were good ones.
Then began using my neighbours
purebred bull, aud kept the best heif.
ers. But this was slow progress, so /
bought six grade Holstein helfers and
also a purebred bull. Then / added
two purebred cows.
II now find a ready sale for stock
/ wish to sell. even for my grades.
When one uses a good bull and good
cows, well cared for. he does not have
any scrub calves"
The letter points out clearly how It
is possible for one to develop gradu-
ally into a breeder of purebred and
high-grade live stock.

GROVE SACRED TO BUTTERFLY
Clusters Of Beautiful Creatures Make
Pretty Sight in Forest Surround
ing Monterey, Calf.

Round about Monterey, Calf, Is a
region almost covered by forest Of
what is known as the Monterey pine.
j. Smeaton Chase, In ST. Nicholas,
tells of a curious phenomenon observed
while walking under the trees:
Gazing up amid the branches, l
noticed what looked like a number Of
large clusters Of dull brown, dead
leaves, which apparently had lodged
by chance here and there among the
twigs. AS the clouds parted and the
warm sunlight struck the tree / was
gazing at two or three leaves de-
tached themselves from a cluster and
turned into large red butterflies
Faster and faster the cluster dis
solved, until in ten seconds there
were. perhaps, 200 or 800 butterflies
fitting about. BY that time another
cluster, bursting like some lovely kind
Of bomb, and tree after tree adding to
its quota, dissolying into red cloud
of butterflies, so that in a minute or
two l was standing bewildered in a
veritable 'sn0wstorm' of the charming
creatures. How many there may have
been in view at one time / am afraid
to guess-certainly 10000, possibly
several times as many; so many, any
way, that a distinct murmur of sound
came from the softly Pickering wings.
Gradually many of them dispersed
through the neighboring forest; but
all day the grove was like fairy con-
vocation, with hundreds of thousands
going to and fro or lettering about
the towering shrubs and heritage,
while the sunlit sides of the pine
trunks and branches often were SO
Redeemed with basking butterflies
that at a little distance the trees
looked as II they had been painted"

SEPARATE. STALL FOR COWS
Youngsters Prevented From crowdIng
and Nursing Each Others Ears
Expense ls Small

A Wisconsin farmer, who had a
number Of calves, thought it might be
we'll to find some means Of keeping
them separate while feeding. They
pushed and pulled and "nursed" each
others ears so that the stronger ones
were we'll fed while the weaker went
hungry. Steel stanchions were an ex-
pense which he did not feel was justi-
fed with his small herd.
AT little cost and with small labor
he built wooden stalls to which the
calves could be tied while feeding.
Board partitions separate them more
completely from one another, and in
dividual earthenware bowls, which fit
into a wooden frame, form separate
feeding devices which may be easily
renewed and cleaned.

Earrlncs Ancient Ornaments.

The custom of wearing earrings
comes down to us from the most an
cient times, and no custom is more
prevalent or more universal. The
earliest mention Of earrings is found
In the book Of Genesis. Many people
have been struck by the mention in
the authorized version of the Bible Of
the fact that only one earring was
brought as a present for Rebekah,
when Abraham's servant was seeking
a wife for Isaac. This is a mistake,
for the word means "nose-ring," and
has been rendered correctly in the re-
vised version. tits however, in Gene
sis 81 "A, that the first mention Is made
of earrings: sand they gave unto
Jacob all the strange gods which were
In their hands, and the rings which
were in their ears"

by loud laugh from the vamp and

Arabella scrutinized the madame's
features, and slowly a smile spread
over her face, and she broke out laugh

greet her with a cousins kiss.
A sound Of scratching from the
kitchen attracted the attention Of Ara

him:

young man."
Although puzzled by the remark,
Vincent opened the kitchen door and

Archibald Periwinkle had $14 in his

However, he decided that four bits

SO he started afoot. From the shadow

"Throw up your hands," commanded
the man, presenting a gun.
Archibald did. But he frowned.

'Then you are breaking the law.

And, throwing his gun away, the

port shows that it is valued at 5000
this year, as compared with 1919 last
year--a decline OF about per cent.
Illinois ranks second in the value of
pillow land, according to the report,
the price per acre being 1857. In Ala
bama and Mississippi the average
price of plow land per acre is $26.
The Western States show the least
decline in prices of land, and in the
case of California, Oregon and Colo
RADIO there is slight increase over
last year. Pillow land in California
was valued at $3.50 per acre last year
while this year the average is $135.
The report shows that there was a
rapid increase in the price Of land
from 1917 to 1920, when the highest
price was reached. The decline dur
ing the past year is not as great as
the increase from 1919 to 1920 Land
prices are still higher than any year
preceding $40.

Fire Ladies' to Pullman.

Fire Chief Carl Smith took eight OF
his men to Pullman this afternoon to
meet with the Pullman fire depart
ment this evening for consultation
and to assist in recognizing Pull
mans fire department. The "Arte-
sian City" as Pullman is called, has
had so many bad fires recently that
new equipment has been ordered and
the department is to be organized.
The enviable record CT Moscow, where
the fire losses for the past three
years have never reached 81 per
capita in a single season, has awaken
ed interest in Pullman and Colfax and
these towns want to learn more of
Moscow's system. Chief Smith took
with him First and Second Assistants
sBabe" Carter and Jack Wilson;
Foreman W. g. Barge, of No. |;
Foreman Fred Zumhoff, of No. q;
and a number of others, who will
meet tonight with the Pullman fire
men and assist them in reorganizing.
Chief Smith is very anxious to have
the proposed hard surfaced road built
along the O. w. R. & N. track to
Pullman in order that the two cities
may cooperate in fighting fires and
says that if such a road is built he
will guarantee to have the Moscow
fire truck in Pullman 20 minutes af-
ter request is received.

FARM LAND PRICES
SHOW BIG DECLINE
DECREASE OF SEVEN PER CENT
IN PAST YEAR-PEAK OF
PRICES DURaNG 1920

Washin gton, d. C.-The average
price of pillow land per acre in the
United States decreased about pei
cent during the past year, according
to report just issued by the United
States department of agriculture. The
average value of plow land per acre
on March / of this year was $83.78
as compared to $1,000 in 1920, and
$74.31, in 1919. The statisticians OF
the department attribute the decline
to the reduction in the prices of crops
The report shows that. the heaviest
drop in the price Of land is in the
Southern States where cotton is the
principal crop. In some sections OF
these states there has been a decline
of 30 per cent in the price of pillow
land during the year. The average
price of plow land in Georgia this
year is $50 per acre, while last year
it was $46-a drop of about % per
cent. The average in South Carolina
last year was s61, while this year it
is $3.50 drop of 20 per cent.
Probably the greatest drop in any
one state was in Kentucky, and is at
trfbuted to the decline in the price of
tobacco. In 1920, the average price
OF pillow land in this state was $40 per
acre, while this year it is $53 This
is a decline Of approximately "a per
