FARMERS MIXING OWN FEEDS
Dairymen Dissatisfied With CONNER
cial Materials Are Turning to
Cooperative Buying.

Farmers are almost universally dis
satisfied with mixed commercial feeds
and are depending more on mixing
their own rations," says Henry Nc
Cough, chairman of the dairy commit
tee of the Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton. He adds: "They are all inter-
ested in the cooperative buying OF
mill feeds such as bran, cottonseed
meal and gluten and at times when
there is a shortage in roughages In
the purchase of alfalfa hay"
Commercial mixed feeds ought to
give more satisfactory results because
the manufacturers with their improved
machinery for mixing, large capital
and ability to purchase feeds and
grains in large quantities should be
able to supply a satisfactory feed at
a reasonable price. Dat hulls, weed
seeds, chaff and cheap molasses DO
not make a nourishing or satisfactory
feed and their extensive use by some
mixers has brought these disparaging
remarks from Mr.. McGough.

SUCCESS IN DAIRY FARMING
careIessness In Breeding and Calf
Raising Is Sure to Result Dis
astrousIy to Herd.

Success in dairy farming depends
to great extent upon the carefui
rearing of the calves. Carelessness IN
breeding and calf raising is bound to
result disastrously to herd, or at
least keep it at standstill, as far as
Improvement is concerned. Without
raising calves from which to replace
discarded animals 1t Is almost impos'
sible to raise the average production
Of the herd. Purchasing cows for this
purpose is very unsatisfactory meth
cd. Cows placed on the market are
almost certain to be of very ordinary
grade, since a good COW whose value
as a milk producer is known is not
offered for sale at market price.
Therefore, the dairy farmer should
take every precaution in handling the
young calves which are to be placed
In the herd.

STILL A DARK MYSTERY

President Harding's inauguration
was the anniversary of the strange
disappearance Of the United States
collier Cyclops. On that day three
years ago the Cyclops sailed from
Barbados for a home port. When
she sank below the Barbados hori-
zon she sank out of sight forever.
The surface of the sea for hundreds
of leagues around was searched dur
ing many weeks and months for
traces of her Not vestige, not a
scrap of wreckage was found. Hers
was the fate that met in full the then
existing ideals Of Potsdam kultur in
the matter Of high seas assassina-
ton. She was spurlos versenkt.
In the interval between March
II, 1841, when the steamer Presi-
dent sailed from New York to Liver
pool with 1875 persons on board and
was never again. heard from, to
March 4, 1918, when the Cyclops
vanished, period Of seventy-seven
years, there were only seven cases Of
such disappearances. But In all OF
these instances the lost vessels were
in the iceberg fields, and what an
iceberg can do to the strongest
marine fabric ever put together was
sufficiently demonstrated in the case
of the Titanic. The. Titanic's radio
calls for help speedily brought
rescuers from all quarters to aid her
drowning passengers and crew. And
yet, in spite of that prompt aid, the
Titanic's death-roll was 1917. With
out the wireless, the Titanic's fate
undoubtedly would have been that
Of the President, the City of Glas-
gov, the Pacific, the Tempest, the
City of Boston, the British training
ship Atlanta and the Naronic of the
White Star Line. Not one of them
was ever heard of from the time OF
sailing to this day, and in all human
probability most of them were ice
berg victims.
But there were no icebergs in the
tropical waters where the Cyclops
disappeared. Furthermore, the Cy-
c1ops, powerful craft of 1880 tons
burden, was equipped with the latest
devices in radio telegraphy. Her
calls LOT uelp WOuIu nave uCoA
picked up by every station, afloat or
on shore, within a radius of thou
sand miles or more. Not call from
her was heard. Whatever destroyed
her was instantaneous and annihilat-
ing at the first blow. Her entire
hull must have been ripped wide
open. Her sinking must have been
matter of seconds. There was not
an instant's time in which to launch
boat. There was not moment in
which to unlash life-preserver.
Otherwise some traces of either the
one or the other would have been
| found.
BY a process of elimination there
are just two theories of this disaster
which stand up as among the rea-
sonable possibilities. Either her
boilers exploded, or she was tor
pedoed. But boiler explosions in
these days are very rare. On YES
sci of the United States navy the
chances of such disaster are sc
small as to be quite negligible. OF
course it might have been a case OF
collision. But in that event some

other vessel would have simultane-
ously disappeared without trace. No
such disappearance has been re-
ported. The only theory that is at
all plausible is that Cyclops was sunk
either by submarine, or by bomb
deliberately slowed away somewhere
in her vitals. In other words, there
is nothing left save to put down the
assassination of the Cyclops as one
more in the long list of German saw
ageries of the sea.
If a bomb was sneaked on board
it probably was at Barbados. The
Cyclops touched there and took on
bunker coal. This evidently was an
opportunity. But. it may be said,
Barbados ports were friendly ports.

GOOD HIGHWAYS IN JAMAICA

Improved Roads.

The island of Jamaica, In the Brit

ance Of good roads. The advent OF
the automobile has had much to 40
in the development of an agitation
which now promises valuable results.
The system of modern highways
which it is proposed to build Will
mean the speedy development OF parts
of the island now more or less neg

system Of good roads would undoubt-
edly be followed by general adop-

WORK OF BULL ASSOCIATION
Missouri Organization Doubled In
a Membership in Two Years Be-
! cause Of Ito Usefulness.

Two years ago the United States
Department of Agriculture and CO.
operating agencies organized bull
association In Webster county, No.,
with 81 members. Now there are twice
that many members, due to the sue
cess and usefulness Of the association.
Before the association was formed
there were IS bulls owned by the men
who afterwards Joined It. Upon the
formation Of the organization the num-
Der Of bulls was reduced by two
thirds, because after the members had
been arranged into blocks, 1t was
found that six bulls were enough,
These were much finer animals, how
ever. Judging them, by their money
value, the new ones were three or four
times as good as the ones they re-
placed, since the average investment
per bull was $75 before organization,
and $276 after.
Yet, owing to the smaller number OF
bulls needed under the cooperative ar
rangement, the cost per farmer was
but little more. The members had on
the average $43.71 invested in their in
ferior bulls, while the superior bulls
owned by the association cost each
member only $53.45. This $40 In
crease of cost per member meant a
5000 increase of value in the indi-
vidual bulls from which they now
