SECRET OF SUPERIOR FINISH
Animals Of Improved Breeding Excel
In Feed Lot, at Market and on
Butchers Block.

Why are some feeders able to finish
their cattle more economically and
more rapidly than other feeders who
feed cattle of the same age? Why do
some fat cattle top the market while
others sell a dollar, maybe three dol
lars. below the top. Why are a great
many consumers of meat willing TO
pay 30 cents a pound for prime beef
steak while they would reject inferior
steak at half that price?
Because animals of better breeding
are superior In the feed lot, at the
market, and on the butchers BLOCK.
Why are wellbred animals superior?
Because they have been bred for per-
Torrance and have been selected ac-
cordingly for many generations. Have
not scrubs been bred for performance
Decidedly not. The breeders of scrubs
have had no future In mind. They
have been bred for no definite improve
ment. Naturally then there are many
very undesirable qualities In every
scrub. A scrub bull will sire no two
calves alike. He tears down a herd
while a good purebred bull builds up J

Skeleton View of New Curtiss
Pursuit Plane, Showing Metal
Construction.

The test performance of a new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused a
sensation in the Army and Navy SER
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which a new all-Ameri-
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes of a super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance of the
first pursuit ship of a series surpasses
expectation.
In many respects, this aeroplane is
a departure from precedent. 1t uses
the same Curtiss motor used in the
racing ships at Detroit. 1t is equipped
with wing radiators, the most radical
advance in the art of cooling a motor
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance of the air almost to zero.
These features were expected. The
construction, however, is said to pos
sess, also, a new feature, in that the
entire machine can be stored for a
period of twenty years, If necessary,

ROAD SAFETY LAWS FAVORED
Highway Accidents Could Be Greaty
Decreased by Requiring Mirror
on Trucks.

Accidents on the highways, accord
ing to NJ. V. Eldridge, road director OF
the American Automobile association
could be greatly decreased by the pas
sage of uniform state laws requiring
every truck TO carry a mirror giving a
view of the road TO the rear INT by
requiring every hOrse-drawn vehicle to
display some sort Of light when using
the roads Mt night.
Mr.. Eldrldge states that l. states
and the District of Columbia have
laws requiring the mirror on trucks
but that few have any regulation Tor
horse-drnwn vehicles. The states re
curing mirrors are Vermont, Wash

In the shipment of surplus war ma

The railroads previously required
the states to pay less-than-carload

This fall and winter eggs and poul-

be low enough to make them n
ical just now storage houses are full
OF eggs and farmers have increased
their fiocks of poultry to an unusual
extent. On August / there were 4,S12,-

about 80 per cent more than the aver
age at this season for the last three

Eggs start moving out of storage IL

sold before the first of January, the

HENS ARE OFTEN DISTURBED
Interference With Nervous System 10
Frequently Sufficient TO Set
Layers Back.

To a great many persons 1t will seem
like going to extremes, but, neyerthe-
less, IL is true that interference with
the nervous system is frequently great
enough to cause a serious drain on the
vitality of the laying hen. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture Various things that interfere
with the ordinary daily life of the
fowls may be put in this class. Hens
are often disturbed. especially those Of
The more nervous breeds, by the pres
ence of strangers. Changing them
about frequently from one pen to an
other is also a disturbing factor and
will set the layers back, as will the
mixing together of birds that have

TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEG
Mix Kerosene and Lard Together and
Thoroughly Brush Into Gov
erino on Feet.

One OF the most common remedies
for scaly leg Of fowls is to mix to-
gether kerosene and lard and thor
oughly brush or rub this into the
scales covering the foot and shank. 1t
is rather harsh treatment, but VIII
cure the trouble If repeated at inter
walls of a week. Some cases will be
cured with two applications, while
others may need several.
Probably the best remedy is oil Of
earaway. Mix n part of oil of cara
way with five parts of vaseline. This
material is very penetrating, but not
nearly as irritating as kerosene. Rub
the ointment in the leg aud repeat
every few days until signs of the dis
ease disappear.
