Cheap Gains Made With
Heifers During Summer

Every day that a heifer does not
grow is time wasted as well as feed
lost. according TO W. J. Fraser Uni.
versity OF Illinois Cheap grains can
oe made In the summer months and
farmers shcaic keep this in mind in
the management of their herd.
The same thlpg Is true OF young
dairy calves. A grain ration fed with
pasture and skim milk will push them
along rapidly. A good ration Is com
posed OF 80 pounds each OF ground
corn. ground oats and wheat bran with
10 pounds OF linseed oil meal. Lee
gume hay should be- fed with this rtIi
ton when the calves are old enough to
eat II. When good pasture or legume
hay Is not available the iinseed oil
meal should make up one quarter Of
the grain mixture.

USE ONLY TRIED
AND TESTED SIRE

This is the season Of the year whel
all farmers ought TO be looking GU
for bulls for use this fall, II a chang,
is necessary. There are many breed
ers who have tested their cattle fol
production records, have good BLOOD
lines. and are Offering good dairy
bulls for sale. Farmers who have al
opportunity to buy a bull which Is a
proved product should not hesitate "a
buy him on account Of his age or
disposition. But we find many farm.
ers In the state that are now offering
dairy bulls for safe from three to six
years Of age. and In most cases there
are no buyers. This indicates that
purchasers want young bull calves
There are probably three reasons for
this condition, says ]. p. LaAIaster.
chief Of the dairy division OF Clemson
college, South Carolina.
Those desiring bulls do not
realize the value Of sire which has
been proved. That is. one with
daughters In milk which show their
production disposition as feeders,
and general conformation. The ability
OF bull to get a reasonably large
number Of desirable daughters Is the
only real proof that he is worth using
and often pure.bred animals with very
best pedlgrees are disappointing when
the results OF this real test become
known.
p Farmers do not like to handle
an aged bull. explains Professor La
Master, because he often has a mean
disposition. All dairy bulls should be
considered dangerous That is, no one
can tell when a dairy bull. even
though normally Of good disposition
and ensy handling qualities, may turn
on its handler and cnuse serious In

u. S. AUTOMOBILES LEAD
NEW ZEALAND DEMAND
Great Increase in American Cars
Imported Shown by Figures
Since 1922.

In 1922 New Zealand imported 3,026
passenger cars valued at 6023S7
pounds. of which 1852 valued at 233,.
IA pounds came from the United
States, and LIZA valued at 292 ,039
pounds from Canada. In 1924 impor-
tations of automobiles of that type
totaled 15,46S cars valued at 13,040,-
2S5 pounds. The United States sup
piled 6.S5s of those cars valued at
lo31,099 pounds and Canada furnish
ed 5,594 cars valued at $500 pounds.
The British trade with New Zealand
in motor cars is likewise improving
rapidly, according to the report. From
l26 cars valued at 68.121 pounds in
1929. the trade has grown to 2,7S2
rars valued at 796,739 pounds in four
years.
Several British light cars have been
placed on the New Zealand market to
meet the competition of the light low
price American car. These cars are
said to be enjoying popularity and ac-
count to a large extent for the rapid
increase in importation Of British cars.
The United States at present pre-
dominates in the importation of trucks
in value but not in number. In 1925
Il total of 1888 trucks valued at 327,-
902 pounds came from the United
States; ,634 trucks valued at 164, ,467
pounds from Canada, and 535, valued
at 24S,69S pounds from the United
Kingdom. A large proportion of the
heavy trucks came from the United
States, while the light truck trade is
dominated by Canada.
