lUEUUKll
COOPERATIVE BULL SOCIETY
Saunders County, Nebraska, Winner
Of Offer by Breeder Of Pure
bred Cattle.

(Prepayed by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The bull offered by a breeder Of
purebred cattle near Lincoln to the
first cooperative bull association to
be organized in Nebraska was won by
Saunders county, where an assOcia-
tiOn has been formed, through the ef-
forts of the county agent and a state
dairy extension specialist, assisted by
a field man of the United States De-
partmsnt Of Agriculture.
AS in other associations of this
character, the members will be ar
ranged in several groups or blocks,
those in each block having about the
same total number of cows and all
using the same bull. This association
has five blocks to start with, and as
many more are planned. The separate
blocks do not own the bulls, but the
animals are joint property of the as
sociation, and every two years they
are shifted from one block to another.
1t is planned to have novel fea-
ture in this association. The blocks
will be arranged in two or more cir
cults, each circuit made up of three or
more blocks, and paying for the bulls
1t uses and owning them; the biennial
exchange of bulls will also be con-
fined to the circuit; but there will be
one set of officers and board of direc-
tors far the whole association, the Sec
retary-treasurer keeping record of the
receipts and obligations of each cir
cult. The circuit system seems to
combine the advantages of small asso-
Citations and a large association all in
one.
When the Saunders County Bull as
sociation is ready for business, it will
be given the prize bull. The associa-
tion will have to pay for its other
bulls, but 1t can well afford to do so,
for this method of cooperation has
been found highly profitable in many
other parts of the country. Its advan-
tages are: Q) Providing high-class
bulls at low expense, and thus prov
ing the character of the dairy herds !;
(2) keeping proved bulls in service

ABNORMAL TASTES IN MILK
There Are Several Factors That Inn
part Peculiar Flavor Besides
Grazing Crops.

There are number of plants which
when eaten by the dairy COW, will
transmit an unusual taste to her milk
Some of them are fed to her inju-
diciously by the dairymen, and others
are eaten by the animal while graz
ing. Plants known to possess such
properties are beet and turnip tops
when fed in large quantities; excess
sive feeding of chopped roots; garlic,
rape, lupines, orchids, kale, rutabagas,
chicory, sorrel and pasturage on areas
which have been inundated.
There are many other factors some
times responsible for peculiar taste
in milk, such as improper sterillza-
tion of utensils, spoiled foods, brew
ers' gxpins, potato slops, fish meal,
rape cake, fiaxseed meal poor straw,
and, occasionally, medicinal agents
administered to the animal.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

MUD AS A DEFECT

A West Virginia educator at
the National Education associa-
tion conference was asked what
he regarded as the greatest de-
feet in American education, and
he sail in his district it was
mud. Bad roads can be the
greatest defect In any communi-
ty. They can be the greatest de-
feet in education, when they do
not permit the regular attend
ance Of children in school. They
can be the greatest defect In
farming, when they do not per-
NIT the moving of crops. They
can be the greatest defect In any
kind Of activity, when they pre-
vent the communication needed.
A bad road is a bad road

CARING FOR SPRING CALVES
Necessary That Youngsters Be Kept
Thrifty and Free From Disease
and Sickness.

The good dairy calves born this
spring are needed as milk cows two
years from now, so the dairyman
should do his part by giving these ami
mails chance to live and develop
Spring calves are usually harder to
raise than fall calves, and since the
dairyman has less time usually during
this busy season to care for the calves,
1t is very necessary that the attention
given be that most needed to keep
them thrifty and free from disease and
sickness.

Muddy Weather.

Muddy weather doesn't bother the
farmers in Massac county, Illinois,
very much, because there are over 300
miles of gravel roads In the county,
and each year their mileage grows
larger. The cost of graveling roads
in Massac county Is not very great be-
cause the gravel is taken right out of

sisted on the order being obeyed. The
Chinese boy left the class instead
and Coale is said to have gone after
him TO persuade him to return and

FOURTEEN MILE HIKE
X. Hashimoto, Troop 4


According to the story of the olden
time, this cross, it is said was put up
by Catholic Missionaries who first
landed here. Because of the heavy
rains and storms the cross piece has
fallen and the only thing we can see
now is the upright piece.
The neX thing that attracted my at
tention were the falls, Uhe most pict-
uresque view on this part of the is
land).
Here too we saw several other
species of trees, such as the noun
tain apple or "ohia," breadfruit and
oranges.
AS it is known that there are few
birds and animals on this part of the
Island | could not mention so much
about them. We saw some doves,
m~inahbirds, sparrows, plovers and sea
birds. We saw mongoose and wild
cats on u way too.
Leaving Waialua gulch we came to
a place called Kowali, a village in
habited mostly by Hawaiians. Since
most of the Hawaiians live on poi and
sweet potatoes, they have their own
sweet potato and taro patches, which
are so arranged and divided into sep
rate sections or patches that they
could get the taro for poi all the year
round.
Just a little beyond this place we
came to Supervisor Drummond's, here
we saw the pineapple fields and past
ures in which many cattle and horses
we're feeding upon grass and hay.
After passing MI. Drummond's place
we came to a place called Haul. We
saw the Haul School here. We also

saw children playing on the road. The
vegetation here is of the same varie-
ty as that of Waialua Gulch and Ko-
wall.
Here too we saw two old concrete
and stone houses built by the ancient
Hawaiians. Leaving here we came to
the Catholic Church at Puuiki. In the
church yard we saw many beautiful
grave stones.
Hiking along we met the mail car
coming over to Kipahulu just a little
way from the seventh mile post.
We reached the seventh mile post
at 8:15 a. M, and sat down and took
a rest. While we were doing so a
Ford truck stopped for us to get on
but we told them n thank you, we
are on our IA mile hike
After resting there for about Is min
utes we started back for home. Our
return trip was rather a tiresome one
because the day was hot. Oh, l al
most forgot to tell you that we picked
up and threw away all the stones,
glass and sticks we saw on our trip.
We saw boulders on the side of the
road, but we could not lift them alone
because of their enormous size.
On u return trip we met two other
cars and more children and men on
the road. We met four of our scout
brothers and some girls going over to
Waialua for a hike too.
We stopped to take a rest on the
Ohei bridge, and looking down we
saw some of the Kipahulu boys, fish
ing in the stream below.
We reached home at eleven a. m.
1t was really a good hike, thanks for
the clear day.
