cts too late now to try to save
our child" the parents half wept.
Last night might have been time,
but this morning-no."
Police were franticaIly besought
by Mr.. ZandaniS last night to lend
all possible energy to find the girl.
He spent the entire night searching
for her.
Believing that Irene and her
lover, described as a Greek whom
she met three months ago, are to-
gether in a hotel because Of an
anonymous telephone. call this
morning saying the girl Is alright
and happy, is the family's reason
for calling off the search.
In fact, because Of the child's
unmarriageable age, Zandanis ex.
pressed the hope the couple would
not be found, to avoid the trouble
1t might lead to.
The Greek came to the girls
home Monday night. After display.

pressing his affection for the girl,
he spoke of travelling to Canada

said. They disappeared stimuli

HEAVY HORSE IS
MOST PROFITABLE

Good, heavy horses are now bring
Ing price on the market that makes
them profitable for many farmers to
raise. To realize profitable prices,
however, they must have weight
1000 pounds or more-and must be Of
good type and conformation, sound,
with good style, action and attractive
appearance.
To raise good, marketable horses,
two things are absolutely necessary
good breeding stock, and proper de-
velopment of the colts.
There has been an increase in breed
ing In the last few years and there are
probably more colts on the farms in
the Dakota farmer empire than there
have been for several years. The
future value of these colts will depend
In great measure upon the way they
are handled and cared for from wean-
ing time until they go to pasture next
spring They may live if they are
forced to depend upon the straw stack
for feed and shelter through the win
ter, but colt so treated has little
chance of growing into a big, rugged,
marketable horse.
It is generally conceded by horsemen
that a draft colt should be at least
one-half as heavy at twelve months
old as he will be at maturity; and
they also agree that colt severely
stunted during the first year Of its life
will never reach it's fullest possible de-
velopment. Since the matter of weight
means so much in market value Of the
mature horse, no one who regards the
profit can afford to neglect the young
colt

City DlOeller Finds
Comfort in Suburbs

The grand rush to the suburbs
some of them ten miles QUITS an ire
preSSible movement to restore Home
Sweet Home; the kind with a lilac
bush in the front yard and place to
hang the wash in the back yard. The
old-fashiOned ideal Of home is not lost.
1t has been hampered, but as soon as
city obstacles are removed-by easy
and rapid transportation to the coun-
try-the home is restored much as 1t
always has been.
The heart of man Graves a little
loneliness, just a little; and the
suburbs afford it. It is not the loneli-
ness of the city where there is no
neighborly hobnobbing; but one which
may be broken voluntarily. Sociability
and segregation are nicely balanced.
You have as much as you want of
each, and when you desire repose, you
can withdraw beyond your own JON
quils.
In the suburb one feels that the fam
lily rooftree will last 1t will not be
swept away by apartment hotels or
corner drug stores. It will be there
for the children. It will be there for
Thanksgiving and Christmas and wed
dings, ay, and funerals-St. Louis

RECORDS ON COWS
SHOW NET INCOME

Join COW testing association, feed
for economical production, and weed
out the tramp cows. Profits will fol-
low just as they have on hundreds of
other farms where the milk is tested
regularly by a competent tester, states
A. J. Cramer, in charge of COW test
ing work in Wisconsin for the United
States bureau of dairying, the Wiscon-
sin Dairymen's association, and the
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.
The cows in well-kept herds tested
in a cow testing association, fed in ac-
cOrdance with the efficient testers ad-
vice easily average 300 pounds of but
terfat a year, Cramer reports. On the
other hand, 12 months records on Is
poor cows in Wisconsin cow testing
associations show an average of 100
pounds of butterfat valued at $50. On
these cows the average feed cost was
SAT, leaving only So income over feed
cost. Cramer asks: "How many such
cows can farmers afford to keep"
The COW testing association in Wis
consin is composed of about twenty
six farmers with a hired tester who,
usually, is at least a graduate Of the
short course at the Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture. The tester spends one
day a month on each farm and while
there, according to Cramer, gets a
complete record Of milk and butterfat
production for each COW in the herd.
He also obtains feed consumption
costs, costs of feed, and figures In
come over feed cost.
Using these results as a guide
Cramer tells how the farmer and the
tester figure out together better meth
DDS of feeding and of care and man
agement Of the herd. They plan to
eliminate all cows that do not respond
prof1tably to intelligent feeding and
they give attention to problems of
breeding. Many times the tester has
been an aid in helping the members
Of his association to obtain higher
prices ranging from $40 to $25 more
per COW for COW testing association
COWS with records.
Wisconsin's 1852 cow testing associa-
tions are on the march toward a more
economical dairy production system

PRUNE TREES TO
GET GOOD SHAPE

The ideal time for pruning orchard
trees is in early spring, as wounds
made then are not exposed so long
before the healing process begins. 1t
is not always practicable to do all the
pruning at the ideal time, however,
and the thrifty orchardist makes use
of odd days during the winter to get
this work done.
"Avoid pruning during very cold
weather, to prevent freezing injury to
the tender tissues exposed by the cut"
advises E. B. Morrow, extension hor-
ticulturist at the North Carolina State
college. "In pruning newly set trees,
or those that have made one seasons
growth, an attempt should be made to
picture the tree as it will appear in
future years, and prune accordingly.
Three main branches are sufficient for
the initial framework of the tree Sc
lect these properly spaced up and
down the trunk, and equally dividing
the space around the center of the
tree. AS the tree develops, each of
these primary limbs may be allowed
U ueV0IOp luCO TWO secondary
branches to form the framework of
the tree. Keep these dominant to all
other growth, allowing a reasonable
number of side branches to develop.
If it is desired to subdue the growth
of any particular branch or shoot, cut
that branch back more than. the one
intended to make the greater growth.
1t is seldom advisable to head young
trees back to mere stubs. A moderate
heading-back is better.
with bearing trees, cut out all de-
cayed and diseased branches and re-
move those that are apt to interfere
with the proper development of the
framework. With the apple, make
the pruning primarily thinning-out
process. If heading back seems nec-
essary always cut to lateral. With
the peach, a combination Of heading
back and thinning-out gives best re-
suits"
Arizona state miner., 1926-02-27
Young Unbroken Horses
Should Have Training

Young unbroken horses that will be
expected to take full share Of farm
work next spring should have some
training during the winter. At this
season of the year there is spare time
that can we'll be used in getting the
green young horse accustomed to
what is expected of him when he
takes a place in the team. 1t takes
time and patience to train horse to
do his job with ease and willingness.
Time spent in properly breaking
young horse means time saved later
when farm work is pressing. Further
more, the young horse that does a
little work during the winter will be
much better able to work hard next
spring because his shoulders and
muscles are hardened.

Ventilating the Potato
Cellar During Winter

A warning is sounded by special
lists in plant pathology at the Kansas
State Agricultural college against the
common practice Of opening the po-
tato cellar and ventilating it on warm
winter days. This is a poor practice
and will increase rather than get rid
of the moisture in the cellar and on
the potatoes, he says. The potatoes
sweat and make conditions favorable
for rot and decay to set in. Ventilate
only when the outside air is near the
temperature of the air in the cellar,
Stockdyk advises.
Mr.. Stockdyk recalls the action Of
the ice-water pitcher in the summer
time. The cold water pitcher con-
denses the moisture in the warm
air and the pitcher ''sweats." This,
he says, is exactly what happens
when the cold potatoes in the cellar
come in contact with the warm air
being brought in from outside.

Growing Soy Beans in
Corn for Feeding Lambs

Growing soy beans in corn for feed
ing lambs has an excellent future, but
many corn belt feeders have not yet
realized the advantages and economy
of such a method.
When you realize that you can
grow from 300 to 600 pounds an acre
of high-class forage in your corn fields
with little additional effort, equipment
or expense, aside from the seed, it is
apparent that the practicability Of it
should appeal to all.
1 plant beans with an attachment
on my corn planter, says a writer in
the Iowa Homestead 1t cost $8
They may either be drilled or checked
To procure the best results, by uti-
lizing all the food value Of the bean
plant, I always select a variety that
will be matured by the time our corn
is in the dough stage. The Manchu
variety has proved the best for u.s.
Where one plants larger acreage of
corn with beans, it is an excellent
idea to plant late-maturing variety
also, as this gives the lambs longer
feeding period on the bean forage.
Lambs take to them readily. Occa-
sionally some scour by eating too
freely at the start, but it usually
passes away in a few days, leaving no
i'll effects. 1 have found that the
lambs are more subject to scours
where they are turned into the fields
before filling them with other food
than when they are allowed gradual
access to the beans. Lambs fed soy
beans with corn, in the fattening
process, usually have higher degree
of finish. have found, which enhances
their value.
The practice Of lambing corn and
soy beans means simply this-more
feed and more fertility. One may
readily see that by adding nitrogen to
the soil along with the lamb drop
pings the physical condition of the
land is improved.

Bricks Good Qualities

In building it is not possible to
have real beauty without strength.
The eye cannot be thoroughly salts
fed if in the mind turks the conscious
ness that the architects creation is
to be vanquished in the battle with
time. Time is powerless to mar the
beauty or to sap the strength of brick.
Generations may come and go, but the
sturdy brick walls Of the homestead
stay on. Brick may reach a venerable
old age-it never reaches the state
Of decrepitude. Brick comes from the
bosom of Mother Earth, in the form
of plastic clay; 1t is hardened by the
most powerful agency known in the
wOrld-fire-and is proof against the
further attacks of fire; it defies wind
and rain; it is as enduring as earth
itself.-Exchange

Methods of Feeding Are
Highly Important to Sow

"The number of pigs saved per lit
ter is the largest factor in determin
ing whether or not a brood SOW will
be profitable" says z. f. Ferrin Of
the animal husbandry division at Uni
versity farm at st: Paul, MINI. Good
farrowing conditions call for clean
quarters, reasonably warm, with direct
sunshine if possible. Either central
hog, barn Of moderate cost or small
movable hog cots can be used to best
advantage. Straw piles, loose tumble
down sheds or fence corners used for
narrowing places are sure to cause
heavy losses of small pigs"
Methods Of feeding brood sows are
highly important just at this time.
Mr.. Ferrin recommends the following
rations for sows weighing about 700
pounds:
1. Oats, two pounds; barley, two
pounds; alfalfa hay unlimited.
2. Corn, four pounds; tankage. four
tenths of a pound.
8. Corn, three pounds; skim milk or
buttermilk, five to ten pounds
f. Corn, two pounds; barley oats
two pounds; plus tankage. alfalfa hay
or milk
