DANGEROUS FADS AND
SANE FANCIES.

II Ii amazing how readily the
American people embrace fad and
run ii to the ground. Tack new
name to an archaic theory or an aban-
doned product, give il touch Of ef-
ficient publicity and it sweeps the
country form end to end. The dan
ger OF this nationdl weakness is
brought to the front when the fal
takes the form of self medication.
Recently we have had the yeast fad
diligently promoted by yeast manu-
facturers as the greatest health pro-
noter of the ages. Then on the heels
of the yeast eating wave came doz-
en- or more always-keep- we'll and be
beautiful derivatives, the unusual
word "vitamine" capturing the public
fancy, conquering common sense by
linking itself with the weakness of
unthipking men and the vanity of un-
thinking women. Fortunately old
Dame Nature affords us protection
even against ourselves to some extent.
Had the process of fermentation
been completed in the human body in
the case of all the yeast eaten by wo-
men OF America in the last six months
we suppose the flying machine indus
try would have received setback.
Probably our worldly angels would be
floating for exercise instead of walk
ing for health. Old Dame Nature,
however, wouldn't have il so. As for
the renew-your-youth-an h-and-keep-bright

the better.

QUANTITY IS
ECONOMY.

When livestock grower or farmer
raises and produces commodity of
quality, he is following economic prin-
ciplees; he gets full value for his
time; he gets full value for his feed
and he gets full value for what he
sells. Any other course results in a
certain amount of his time lost, a
certain percentage of his feed wasted
and an unsatisfactory price for his
cattle.
The testing of man and his cattle
business depends upon the quality of
his cattle.
One might think that $100 per head
for yearling steers was high price.
But on December 12 last w. A. For
sythe of Greenwood, No., sold 15
yeariing Shorthorn steers in Kansas
City market for S135 per head The
youngsters weighed 1866 pounds and
sold for $i2.75 per hundred.
II pays to grow Shorthorn beef.
These steers paid their owner for his
time, his feed and high price for
quality. Every cattle grower has firm
ly fixed in his mind the fact that he
needs quality. But he defers buying
his breeding stock of proper breeding
and quality because he thinks they
cost too much. The progressive breed
er does not take this view. He buys
of the right breeding and quality and
pays what they are worth. Now is
the time to get on broaler plane.
Buy the best quality and increase the
value of your herd many fold. This
applies to all livestock as well as ev-
cry item Of expenditure. Get the best.
The Idaho recorder., 1922-02-10

Certainly it is folly to breed from
them. To great degree "like begets
like" And the young of breeders
which are lacking in strength and vi
tality are almost sure to be weak and
inferior, hard to rear and of little
value when matured.
1t is difficult enough to grow high
percentage of chicks having the ad-
vantage of sturdy ancestry. 1t is sheer
foolishness to invite trouble by delib-
erately producing chicks which are
lacking in vigor and inherit the ten
dency toward diseases of various
kinds.
If your flock lacks sufficient num-
ber of birds of a high standard of
health and vigor to make up the re-
quired breeding pen or pens, resist
the tempatation to fill in with those
which are only pretty fair" Be Sc
we're in your judgment. Don't give
any birds the benefit of the doubt. If
they are not right in every respect,
pass them. Use fewer breeders or
buy the required number to make
good a shortage.
The health type is easily identified.
Fowls of this type are usually active
and vigorous. They have full, clear
eyes; we'll developed combs and wat
tics of bright healthy color; short,
stout, curved beaks; well developed
muscles; and, at this season of the
year, plumage which is well finished.
In contrast with those vigorous
worthwhile fowls we find those which
are inclined to loaf and NOPE, which
are listless, scrawny, knockkneed,
crow-headed. Such should never, un-
der any circumstances, be permitted
to become part of the breeding flock.
Mistakes Can't Be Corrected.
Special emphasis is here laid upon
this matter Eecause it is so highly i'm
portant. Mistakes made in the breed
ing pen cannot be corrected later, and
the season may be failure because
this vital point has been ignored.
The proportion of males to females
depends, in large degree, upon the
quality, the vigor, of the flock. As a
rule, breeders of the more active
breeds of fowls, as Leghorns and An
conas, use one male to twelve to fif-
teen females. In the case of general
purpose breeds, rs Plymouth Rocks
and Wyanaottes, one male to eight
to twelve females. And in extremely
heavy breeds, as Brahmas and >Coch-
ins, one male to five to eight females,
Early in the season, the proportion
of m2les should usually be larger
than during the warm weather.
| 1t is always wise to have some sur
plus males available and make sub
stitutions if necessary. By marking
the eggs from each pen and testing
the egg after six or seven days of in
cubation, one can quickly learn wher
the fertility is too low and quickly
change males, before the season is too
far gone.
Time spent in carefully choosins
the breeders is we'll spent. In thi!
work haste surely makes waste. Stud,
your birds. Use only the best. TIL,
result will be continued progress.

SELECTING THE N
BREEDING STOCK

The Matching and brooding season
is lust ahead. In few short weeks
the grass will be green again and mil
lions of baby chicks will be entering
upon the journey of life.
Possibly no season of the year is
more important, has q greater lnfiu-
ence on the poultryman's business,
than the brief space between the mat
ing of the breeding pens and the
time when the growing youngsters
leave the brooders. To q great extent,
the success of the whole poultry en-
terprise is determined in those few
short weeks.
1t is now time to make the final
selection of the birds which win be
used for breeding purposes and make
up pens for families. | know of moth
ing which is of greater. Importance,
which more richly deserves careful
thought, than this work. To great
degree the quality of the breeding
flock determines the quality of the
chicks and, therefore, of the birds
which will be the future layers and
breeders. In time, labor, feed and
other expenses, it costs as much to
grow inferior chicks as good ones.
And the poultry grower who fails to
use choice breeding birds is merely
inviting certain disappointment and
probable disaster.
Proper Choice Of Stock.
Choice of the breeding stock should
of course, be made with reference ia
the object in view. If exhibition spec
linens are wanted, make the matingS
of birds possessing the desired points
shape and markings, offsetting weak,
ness in any section in one sex by
strength in the same section of the
other sex. If dependable layers are
wanted, use strong, vigorous, heavy
laying hens mated, if possible, to sons
of heavy layers, so the chick may in
herit the tendency toward heavy pro
duction. This tendency can then b,
developed through proper feeding ant
management.
In my personal work have alway.
given preference to yearling and two
year-old hens for breeding purposes
because bird that stands up under
the strain of heavy laying during tn,
pullet year and safely passes the try
ing molting period has thus given evi
dence of possessing strong consti
tuition. Many poultry breeders thinl
favorably of well-developed pullet.
and use them with much success. Per
sonally, | like full maturity in tn,
} case of one parent at least and am in
clined to mate cock birds to pullet:
and cockerels to hens. This is not a,
iron-clad rule however, merely n gen
eral practice which may be varied i
conditions demand
Regardless of type, color or per
formance, the breeders must b,
healthy, sturdy ana vigorous. Thi:
characteristic is of primary, of fund
amental Importance. If poultrymer
would only fully realize and act upor
1t, the industry would be placed upor
much iirmer foundation.
Don't Keep Run Down Fowls.
1t doesn't pay to keep weak, sicklv
rundown fowls. Such are more like
iy to be u source of loss than of profit

Gus way to marshall its forces into

road bloc and the other bloes that
have worked in the shadow now pro-
fess to be amazed that the farmer
should trespass on their property, but
the giant has been sleeping long

President Harding has said truly
that the agricultural problem is the

ii may not be bad idea to have

The Start OF Divorce.

The most primitive people held that
a husband could repudiate his wife at
will. This was gradually modified, till
separations could be obtained for
cause. The hearing Of cases came to
be function of the courts, and laws
grew and adapted themselves till
special code of divorce laws was
framed, with special court to handle
the cases. The first real divorce court
was established In England by act OF
