DAIRY
FACTS
SUPERIOR SlRES HELP DAIRY
Improvement Means Mating OF Fe-
males Already in Herd With
Purebred Bulls.

In most cases dairy herd improve
ment must mean the mating of such
females as are already in the herd
with a superior male, says the New
York State College of Agriculture at
Ithaca. If the superior characters in
the sire are more likely to he trans
mitted than the less desirable ones in
he dams, the sire's more desirable
qualities will predominant in the
daughters.
One of the most outstanding ex-
amples of what a good sire can do in
a purebred herd Is in the case of EN-
~blagaard Tritomla Homestead. This
bull, still improved, was purchased in
1911 by the University of Illinois. but
his ancestors had been excellent as pro-
ducers or as transmitters of produc
ton. The first ten daughters of THU
Dull to freshen gave as ~two-year-olds
an average increased production over
tina OF their dams of 3,907.7 pounds of
milk and 160.65 pounds of butterfat.
The value of good purebred sires in
grading up scrub or grade cows was
shown at the Iowa State college in an
experiment starting in 1907. Native
scrub cattle from Arkansas were
graded up through the continuous use
OF purebred sires. The g%randdaugh-
tiers had an average increase Of 4,471.7
pounds of milk and 1860 pounds of
butterfat over their scrub dams.

DRESIDENT HARDING has begun
l. his journey of more than two
months, through the Middle West and
West, to Alaska, and through the Pan
anna canal to Porto Rico. Already he
has delivered, In st. Louis, his main
address concerning American member
ship In the world court. He set forth
at length the reasons why he favors
such membership and has now left the
matter to the decision of the American
people, who. before deciding. Will have
plenty OF opportunity to hear or read
the views of the opposition. Mr.. Hard
ing could not be induced to abandon or
be silent about his advocacy of the
world our membership by those who
feared II would cause n party split,
but 1t is not likely that he will dwell
on the subject In his future addresses.
Mr.. Harding still insists his trip is
in no sense a campaign tour in the
interests Of his denomination. on the
continent he seeks to get in close
touch with the people west OF the Mis-
sissippl on paramount Issues. In Alas
ka he desires to learn at first hand
what is the matter with the govern
ment of the territory and why its de
velopment is retarded. In Porto Rico
he probably will have to take n hand
in Strengthening out the admlnlstra-
ton Of the island, for already the new
governor, Horace NJ. Towner, is being
subjected to bitter attack for the al
legged offense Of favorlng too markedly

DETERMINE VALUE OF BULL
DO Not Send Animal to Butcher Until
He Has Had Chance to
Prove Himself.

1t Is a mistake to dispose of a bull
that has any prospects whatever until
his true value is determined by his
progeny. Many a dairy bull has gone
to the block only for It to be found
later on that some OF his daughters
are making fine records. You cannot
tell much about the record of a bull
until he is about five years old. and he
has to be about seven years old before
much can be told Of his breeding quail
tiles. Dc not butcher an animal that
may be the making Of your herd, until
he has had a fair chance to prove him
self.

Increase of domestic consumption of
wheat and wheat products was urged.

price dropped to S1.50 a bushel.
Senator Capper of Kansas was one
of the most v%ociferous of the con-
ferees, as might be expected, and at
the opening session he seized the OPP
p%ortunity to denounce the Chicago
board Of trade, asserting that it has
become the worlds greatest gambling

fit of the Spectator and against the
producer and consumer. He added

Chicago board of trade holly resented
Capper's charges. denying them abso

Germans to operate all the Ruhr valley
industries, the output of which may be
turned to the account of PREPARATIONS.
Germans who refuse to do this work
will receive Jail sentences up to 10
years, and sabotage may be punished
with death sentences on conviction by
court-martial.
Passive resistance is steadily weak
ening, and this is due in large meas
ure to the food situation One of the
German government orders already
has been repealed and firms are now
permitted to pay freight rates on food
transported on lines operated by the
French. One of the latest seizures by
the French was that of the sugar fac
tories at Frankenthal and nelghboring
villages.
This serious food situation Is af-
fecting all of Germany. especially be-
cause of the further decline of the
mark, which is rapidly approa ching
the worthlessness of the Russian
ruble. Flour imports from the United
States at Hamburg have stopped, and
importers there have lost heavily be-
cause buyers refuse to take shipments
they ordered. There is a shortage of
fish, too. and the German high seat
fishing industry is about to suspend
because of labor and financial troubles.

TR|ANON TO SHOW FAR NORTH STORY
Attraction At Theatre For This Week, Charles Jones
 In 'SnoWdrift'

Charles Jones shifts his scene of activities from the western plains to the dazzling snows of the Yukon in his latest production "Sno owdrift," :" which comes to the Trianon Mon day. This is a virile story of the northwest which should find instant favor with all movie fans.
 In its original form this screen story was a novel by James E. Hen dryX, and the leading role seems ideally suited for Charles Jones. Jones has the character of Carter Brent. also known as Ace in the Hole" a mining engineer from the states, who is in love with Snow drift" a white child who has grown up with the Indians. A French Canadian rum-runner and the cap tain of whaling vessel bribe the Indians to help them ill their at tempt to steal the girl and sell her into slavery in Dawson.

Brent arrives at the Indian village soon after and hur- ries to Dawson where he finds the girl held prisoner in a dance hall. Then follows one of the most dra- matic fights ever made for the screen.
 This is different type of a story for Charles Jones and one which will prove to be just as entertaining
