A SERVICE

Secretary of Commerce Hoover and Postmaster
General New are working out plans which, when
cOnsummated, will cover the United States with
a network of air routes. In addition to this, the
pOstOffice department announces the speeding I'D
of transcOntinental air mail service by the pur-
chase of so new Douglas planes. Under the new
schedules, mail can be sent from the Middle West
to San Francisco in a little more than "a hours.
Bird-men recently sailed over the top of the
world, and every day Uncle Sans filters are de-
livering mail from one great American city to
the other. The day of air travel is at hand.
Before long passenger routes viii be as common
in America as they are in Europe.
Twenty-fOur hour mail service between Chicago
and San Francisco is no longer a dream. It Is
a far cry now back to the good old days" when
horses filled in the gaps in the western mail
service. The open spaces are filling up, and
although there yet is plenty of space left IN the
West, civilization has envelOped it all, and from
tier days are gone forever.
In the time of mail coaches, the west was wild
and hOldups were common. Now a hOldup in the
open places is an event. Our gunner have moved
from the Black Hills and the Rockies to New York
Chicago, and other centers Of population. Per
haps it would be more correct to say that, except
in the movies" the western bad man has dis
appeared, and that the metropolitan u toter
and stick-up artist is of an entirely different
breed.
At any rate the day of the mail coach ha,
passed and the era Of railway mail transportation
is Threatened. The romance of the stage driver
has given way to the romance of the birdsman

Dairying Is Profitable
if Good Cows Are Kept

Dairying Is profitable when good
cows are maintained. The kind that
are capable Of producing no more than
the average COW In Iowa-140 pounds
OF fat year--ls not the kind TO buy.
The man who owns herd OF that
sort really owns nothing better than
manure factory. II he feels that It
Is worth while TO milk a bunch OF
cows and get nothing better out OF It
than the manure they produce, he Is
justified in buying that kind, but II he
really wants to get pnid for the feed
he puts into them and get wages for
the time spent in caring for them, he
must start with better grade OF
cows. In the long run 1t would be
much better for those farmers who
have started In the dairy business or
who are contemplating doing so in
the near future TO pick up the best
cows they can IN their own neigh
borhood. then buy good pure-bred
bull and start grading up a herd

ATTENTION is
REQUIRED BY BULL

When the dalryman has become In
terested enough In improving his herd
10 buy a good bull. he Is interested In
giving that bull care and attention to
keep him In good breeding condition
and prolong his usefulness. Careless
handling viii cause the average bull
to become restless and vicious, he will
not present a good appearance to pro-
spective buyers who wish to see the
herd sire, and a maximum amount OF
service cannot be secured from him.
II the bull Is purchased as a calf
or raised ON the farm where he is to
be kept for service. he should be
grown out as rapidly as possible In
order to insure his attaining his full
size. for an undersize bull Is never an
attraction In the herd As supple
ment to grass or legume hay. grain
mixture OF two parts corn, one part
oats and one part bran will prove
good growing ration.
''rhe bull should never be allowed
to run with the cows" said A. @. Rags
dale, head Of the dairy department OF
the Missouri College OF Agriculture.
Doing so results In getting helfers In
calf too young and the bull will ex-
haust himself Besides, It is impos-
sible to keep accurate breeding rec
ords and there is always danger to
persons and property when the bull Is
running loose"
Ragsdale considers most bulls sum.
ciently mature for light service when
they are year old, but service should
be limited to one or two cows week
until they are fifteen months old.
More than twice the service can be |
secured from the bull that is kept |
away from the cows and a sire prop /
erly handled can take care Of herd
OF tlfty cows after he is two years old.
BY all means, the bull should have
ring In his nose, and this should be
put In when he Is about year old. A
troear may be used In making the hole
and the ring inserted as the lnstru-
ment Is pulled opt. Ragsdale consld-
ers II best to wait until the bull is
about two years old before dehornlng,

Legume Hay Will Supply
Minerals Needed by Cow

The kind OF mineral mixture dairy
cows need will depend on the feed
they are getting. In addition TO salt,
which should always be literally fed,
the minerals needed in the ration are
lime, phosphorus and In localities
where there Is trouble with golfer in
young calves either sodium or potas-
stun iodlde should be supplied.
The best way for the COW to get the
needed lime is In legume hay such
as alfalfa, clover or soy-bean hay.
Phosphorus Is best fed In the form Of
