Purebred Livestock
More Economical

The United States Department Of
Agriculture after digesting returns
from QUESTIONABLE distributed
throughout As states, in which it
seeked to obtain directly from farm
ers information on the current trend
of the livestock industry with respect
to the quality Of stock handled, sum
marizes that about 62 per cent Of
purebred livestock is marketed d.
rectly for meat purposes.
Purebred meat animals cost slightly
less than scrubs to raise to maturity;
purebred dairy cattle cost slightly
more.
Only about one-half of the purebred
animals in the country eligible to
registration are actually registered.
Purebreds are much more profitable
to raise than scrubs, and somewhat
more SO than grades, the degree de-
pending on the proportion Of pure
blood the grades possess
About So per cent Of persons who
give the use of purebred sires fair
trial stick to the general principal of
using them for all classes of stock.
Improving the quality Of purebred
livestock by rigid culling and by sell,
ing only worthy animals for breeding
purposes is urged and also is being
practiced by progressive farmers.
Birch, because Of it's fineness and
evenness of grain, is best for enamel
work. 1t is very hard and does not
dent or bruise readily. Whitewood
poplar, white pine and well-seasoned
gumwood comes next. Yellow pine
and cypress are not desirable because
of their relatively high pitch content

SPOKANE.-A total of 13,400 in
quiries have been received by the
Northern Pacific, the Burlington and
Great Northern Railways by pros
pective tourists and settlers since the
inception of the million dollar adver-
Using campaign conducted by the
three roads, according to information
received by local officials. The in
quiries have been for Northwest liter
ature and for rates. In addition to
advertising the Northwest as a haven
for agricultural settlers, the roads
have been braodcasting the beauties
of Yellowstone, Glacier, Rainier and
Crater Lake parks and also Alaska.
Beyond doubt, says railway men, all
these parks will do record smashing
business this summer, partly as a
direct result of the big advertising
campaign and partly because of the
numerous conventions to be held on

How Cal EcOnOmized
In Cleaning Lawns

Washington An achievement in
democratizing economy must be cred
tied to President Coolidge. He has
found way to have the White House
lawns cleaned, after his lawn parties,
without cost.
Recently he gave a lawn party to
the disabled veterans. Ten of the old
men who get $3.04 for an eight-hour
day as rubbish-sweepers in the parks
were brought in to clean the lawns
during the following night. 1t is re-
ported that they worked five hours
each-a matter of $190 each at
straight time rates, or $1,000 in all.
They had always been given extra
pay for extra work like this, and were
surprised to learn, when the job was
finished, that there were mo funds"
to pay for their services. However,
they were informed by Maj. Sherwood
Cheney, in charge, they could take
five hours off, during the ensuing
week from their regular schedule.

Chicago, Ill.-Rodeos formal entry
into the field of sports will take place

the largest sum ever offered in an
event of this kind, will be distributed
by "Tex" Austin, world-famous ranch
man-sportsman, who will direct the

sport of the west it is only in recent
years that the rest of the country has
come to appreciate the high type of
courage, training and sportsmanship

The Chicago Roundup is expected
to place the rodeo on par with base

ing American sport. Here champion
ship rivalries will be fought out on
the hurricane decks of "bad" bronchos
and the necks of long-horned steers
under the hardest set of rules in ex-
