The Russian WolfaOund has
now got into good society and is
. very artistic canine. You see
him in all photographs posing
with movie actorines and society
buds and etc. Il is also very
graceful dog as to price, costing
shout 9,765, 427, 1862 rubles, or
one thousand dollars in regular
money. A good Russian wolf
hound il worth at least rs cents
In the town where he was born.
Russian dressing, another
form Of art, is very popular on
salads in cafes. Il is called Rus
sian dressing, because it was in
vented by . Frenchman out OF

The Russovitch Artsky

EVERYWHERE We look now
adays we got Russian art.
In other words the art bust
ness is Russian. You said it.
i Some Of this art, they say, Is
propaganda, and others is i'm
propaganda, which has got Q
great many people excited about
the same.
It ID very difficult to sec how
there are enough people left in
Moscow to guard the jails. Al
most everybody In Russia is now
somewhere else on art business.
Russian art is going all over the
world like the Spanish fue, only,
with Russian art, you can have it
more than once.
Every boat that comes across
the ocean Is loaded with Russian
art objects which come over here
to dance the Leon Trotzky or to
fiddle or play on the Russian
doghouse or to act In the musical
comical shows from Moscow and
etc.
But most Of these are the Rus
sian dancers who leap from crag
to crag and throw young ladies
around the stage vary reckless
and wear q goat-skin. The goat
from which this skin IL taken ID
the public. When they dance
'The Dying Penguin. which IL
q very beautiful number, 1t looks
exactly like ''The Siberian Weak
fish at Bay" only perhaps slight
" moro 10. You can not tell
which Is which, 80 yen pay your
money and take your wife.
When a young man starts out
to be a Russian dancer, the only
way you can stop him Is to make
him wear overalls, which are al
ways very poisonous to Russian
art In all forms.
AS for Russian revolutionary
music, what shall we say Of
same? What can we say Of same
and get it printed in newspaper
that has to GO through the mails?
Everything that comes FROM
Russia has get art attached to it,
which is enc of the best-selling
words in America to-day. Peo-
pie will pay more for art than
they will for any other form Of
entertainment except hootch.
And bootleg art is like bootleg
gin. 1t is not dangerous if yeu
de not swallow it. A
Art is alse much easier to
smuggle int the country than
liquer. Even the inspectors can
look at it and not know what it
is. In fact, a good deal of it
does net look like art at all.

Dairyman, Can You Answer
Yes to These Questions?

Do you love the dairy business?
Do you know exactly which cows
are making you labor incomef
Do you know each cows test?
DO you apply your knowledge by
sending the bOarder cows to the
butcher Immediately?
Do you know the essentials of
feeding the dairy cow7
Do you feed your cows a balanced
ration, both as regards the ingredients
Of the feeds and the cost2
Do you feed regularly?
Do you milk regularly?
Do you exercise care and kind treat
ment always?
Do you exercise the strictest clean
illness both with the cows and with
the utensils?
Do you use purebred dairy bull?
Do you give your cows adequate
shelter2
Do you use adequate bedding7
Do you milk the cows dry and not
permit the calves to suck after the
first three days7
Do you listen to advice2
Have you a good summer pasture?
Do you like work?

SHOULD USE PUREBRED BULL
Profitable DalryIng Depends on supe-
rIor Breeding, Good Fsed and
Wedding Out Scrubs.

Farmers and dalrymen cannot con-
tinue to use scrub or grade bulls, says
A. G. Baer, professor Of dairy hus-
bandry at the Oklahoma A. and NJ.
college. Profitable dairying depends
on ~ good breeding; (2) wedding
out poor cows; (3) good feeding.
A purebred bull will improve all
dairy herds which are not now headed
by purebred male, Mr.. Baer says.
Farmers or dairymen can very often
club together and buy bull which
costs more than an ordinary purebred
male. Whenever possible, a herd bull
should be from a tested dam with a
good record.

FEED SUCCULENcE TO COWS
Corn sllage, Manael Wurzel or Root
Chops Are Of Much Importance
to Dalryman.

Feed all roughage. such as alfalfa,
clover or other hay, fodder and corn
silage that the COW will eat up clean.
Too much stress cannot be laid
on the Importance of having part Of
the rodghage of succulent nature
as corn silage, mangel wurzel or root
chops. Generally dairy COW will eat
daily little more than three pounds
of sllage and about one pound of hay,
or its equivalent, In addition to silage,
for every 100 pounds of live weight
At present prices the dairyman can
not afford not to feed grain. The COW
should be fed about one pound of grain
mixture daily for every three and one
half pounds of milk she gives.

KEEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN
Particularly Important That MIX Cans
Be Dried and Kept So Until
Used Again.

Because bacteria increase In num-
bers at such an astounding rate when
conditions are favorable, 1t is neces-
sary not only to kill as many Of them
as possible in order to keep dairy
utensils clean and insure a good prod
uct; but utensils must be kept dry, so
that the few organisms that are left
after sterilization will not multiply
greatly. In addition to the proper
temperature, it is necessary that
moisture be present for these germs
to grow, but only very thin film of
water is needed.
1t is particularly important that
milk cans be thoroughly dried and
kept dry until used again. They must
also be protected from contamination
with dust, dirt and flies. Experiments
show that In milk cans which were
covered before being dried the num-
Der of bacteria increased 700 times In
"a hours. Milk put into cans In
which the bacteria have been permit
ted to multiply to such an extent will
spoil much sooner than milk put into
cans that have been dried before being
covered.
To secure rapid drying the cans
must be sterllized with steam or boil
ing water. If the sterilizer Is used,
the cans may be left in 1t until time
FOR them to be used again, but there
must be some means of ventilation to
AIRY off the moisture. Cans may be
set on a rack to dry, but they should
'e protected from flies and dust, pref
,rably in a we1I-screened milk house.
