prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The purchase of a good herd bull
Is the first forward step in producing
better calves at less cost per pound.
In common or grade herds calves
sired by good pure bred beef bulls
weigh on the average about 125
pounds head more when one year
old than calves of the same age sired
by the general run of scrub bulls, says
the United States Department of Ag-
cents pound more as stockers and
feeders. Two-year-old steers sired by
good pure bred bulls weigh on an av-
erage about 200 pounds a head nore
than steers of the same age sired by
scrub bulls, and sell for from to
cents pounds more as stockers and
feeders
In the case of yearllngs, scrubs
weigh about 800 pounds, and when
they sell for about cents pound as
stockers and feeders they bring $40
head, While grades at the same age
weigh about 425 pounds, and will sell
for about 2 cents more, or 9 cents
pound, bringing $3.50. Two-year-
old scrubs weigh about 525 pounds
head, and. assuming that they sell for
8 cents pound, will bring $42 head,
while grades of equal age weigh about
725 pounds, and at 2 cents more q
pound Go cents) as stockers and feed
ers, bring $3.50.
There is practically no difference In
the cost of feed for the two classes of
calves up to the yearling age, but
from that time on grades develop
more capacity and require more feed
than scrubs. The difference in cost
of feed, however. is very small item
when the offspring of the good bulls
are worth practically twice as much
as those of scrub bulls.

Dairy Cows Requirements

dairy cows requirements are
measured by her body weight and
milk production. An average dairy
cow giving a good flow of milk re-
quires about so pounds Of silage and
Is pounds of alfalfa or clover hay
besides a grain ration of from 6 to 10
pounds. Some farmers have the idea
they do not need a siIo because they
have alfalfa or clover. This Is a
great mistake and most wasteful
and Incorrect conception Of feeding.
Legume hay is not balanced food.

There Are Many Coffee
Cows in United States

There are 100000 coffee cows and
10000 tea cows in the United States
declare dairy statisticians Of the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture. That is to say, the quantity of
milk and cream used in tea and coffee
In the United States Is equivalent to
the production from that many cows.
Coffee consumption Is around 1,000,-
100000 pounds annually or approx
mately 40,o0o.O00,000 cups. This re-
quires 40,000,000,000 ounces of cream,
the milk equivalent of which is H.
500,000000 pounds, or practically one
eighth the total production Of milk in
the United States.
Consumption of tea in the United
States is practically S5.000,000 pounds
or approximately 21,000000,000 cups.
The quantity of cream used in tea av-
erages only one-half that In coffee or
one-half ounce per cup. or total in
terms of milk of over 3,000,000000
pounds.
Making liberal allowances for the
use of milk In coffee and tea or of
half milk and half cream. there still
would be more than one-eighth the
total production of milk used In these
two beverages. The departments sur
vey also brought out the fact that one
tenth the sugar consumed for all pur-
poses in the United States Is used in
coffee and tea, the quantity thus con-
sumed being So0000.o00 pounds
year.

That's the spirit she's got.

Wonderfully Fine Soap =
AHealth Beauty Talk BY the Health Doctor

LifebuoY are recognized as most beneficial
to the skin.
Palm oil is red so Lifebuoy is red in color.
Itwould not do to bleach away from the red
palm oil any of its peculiarly soothing quail
tiles so particularly desirable in the care of
delicate skin.
The gentle antiseptic In Lifebuoy imparts
mildness to the rich, creamy lather and
peculiar purifying quality which is exactly
what your skin needs to keep pores from
clogging and to promote that clear under.
glow of health which is the secret of q
radiant complexion.
cAvOid skin fatigue
ANOTHER thing-Lifebuoy rests the skin.
When you are tired and nervously irritable
all over, take Lifebuoy bath. The network
Of tiny nerves just under the skin will be
soothed. Skin fatigue is one of the worst
foes of beauty.
Get several cakes. You will soon become
fond of the clearly, quickly vanishing Life
buoy odor; it gives one such comfortable
feeling of being safely clean. Its habitual
use is very real protection to the whole
family. And it agrees with your skin.

.RAILSLEAD RISE
 IN CURB MARKET
Gains Of From One To Four Points Are
 Recorded

NEW YORK, July 18.-Railroad and traction issues led an early ad- vance in today's bond market which later gave way to profit taking. With a strong underlying demand, however, various lines established new high prices for the year, gains of the half dozen most active issues in the specula- tive rail and public utility class rang ing from one to almost four points.
 Refusal of the interstate commerce commission to lower freight rates on grain promoted active buying of the grangers securities, bonds sharing in the advance with stocks. Statements by officials of the St. Paul and Rock Island railroads that the decision would be reflected in the results of the 1924 operations, centered attention on these issues which advanced 1 to IA points.
 Reading oversubscription of the $15,- 100000 Japanese Daido Electric Power bond issue offered today testified to the improvement brought in current market conditions by the recent Hull in new financing. Twenty per cent of the applications came from the Pacific coast.
 Bankers have been notified by the Chinese government that full payment of interest on the Hukuang railway loan sold here in 1911 would be re- stunned after October 1.

CROP CONDITION.
 SENDS COTTON UP
Buying Promoted By Fla vOrable Tone In Other
 Markets

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The advance in the cotton market during the past week has been chiefly attributed to strength in the remaining old crop position and less favorable crop wealth CT in the south. Buying on these fac tors has been promoted by reports of better tone in the goods markets, the strength of grain, and encouraging advices from the British textile indus been influenced by indica tions that the decline earlier in the month had left a firm technical position behind it, and there has been heavy covering of shorts on the recovery of about 2S5 points from the low level of July Eth in the case of October contracts.
 The advance has been accompanied by some change of sentiment as to the probable showing of the crop reports due on Monday morning. Until a few days ago local traders were talking a possible mid-JGly crop indication of around or over 12% million bales. The continuance of wet weather in the eastern belt, leading to numerous com plaints of deteriorations in Georgia and the CarOlinas, disturbed this idea of SAOP pAOopCStcp AOWCfCES the private mid-month reports have pointed to yield of about F, 400, 900 bales on the average.
 The weather was clearing in the east ern belt toward the end of the week but recent dry, hot weather in the southwest has caused apprehension of damage which was only partially re- lieved by reports of showers today. In the meantime, small lots of cotton have been arriving at New York from va rious points, including about $500 bales returned from Bremen for delivery on July contracts. At the same time, fur ther shipments have been reported out of the local stock and buyers of July have found very few contracts for sale at a premium of less than 800 points over October. Trading in the current July positions will end next Friday, but the firmness of the maturing con- tract, has tended to accentuate the strong statistical position and the cor responding necessity for an adequate crop next season. An increased inquiry was reported for cotton goods, and traders look for better business in the middlewest- because . of higher grain markets. The demand for goods in Manchester has been favorably inf enced by a satisfactory monsoon in India.
