A rough practical test for de-
tcrmining wh!.ther the air in room
lis too dry is to observe the inside
of windows on cold day. If frost
forms freely on the inside Of the
glass there is no doubt but that the
inside air has sufficient humidity
If there is no sign of frost the all
is likely too dry.

Oysters are in season again. They
are extremely valuable, as source of
various minerals needed by the body.
Like other fresh fish, they supply
iodine, and should be eaten when pos
sible if other sea foods are hard to
get. If you like fried oysters, dip
them in egg and bread crumbs, and
then let them stand while to har-
den the coating before frying.

2 PROVED" SIRE IS THE
HOPE OF THE DAIRY
INDUSTRY

A factor Of great Importance in the
Building up of dairy herd is the use
OF eood proved puil, says .. E.
Reed, Chief OF the Bureau Of Dairy In
4ustiy, united States Department. OF
Agriculture.
10 prove bull, according to the
Standards set by the bureau, 1t is nee
essary to compare the yearly records
Of at least his first FIVE daughters with
the recorcs Ct their dams. Such COM
parison indicates the probable value OF
a bull to herd
The record Of one Outstanding sire
that was proved in Vermont dairy
herd improvement association was
pointed out by Mr.. Reed. The first re-
ports received Of this bull included
records of Is daughters and their cams.
The dams were, without exception,
much better than the average cows OF
this country. The lowest producer had
a record of 314 pounds of butterfat,
and the average Of all the dams was
$50 pounds. The is daughters of tn S
sire, however, averaged SIS pounds of
butterfat. Here was an average gain
OF 159 pounds of butterfat, or more

able, every ore Of the Is daughters was
a better producer than her dam. The
sire is to be credited with most of the
Improvement. He possessed to re-
rnarkable degree what is known as a
''Prepotence" in milk production.
Last year, according to Mr.. Reed,
only 200 dairy bulls were proved in
CSC dairy-herd Improvement assoo.a-
tons. 1t was found that Of this num-
Der only one in six was still alive at
the time he was proved. Some proved
bulls should be slaughtered, because
Their records are bad, but the prepotent
bulls which have demonstrated their
ability to sire daughters more produc-
tive than their dams should be kept
as long as they are useful.
When the exchange of bulls becomes
regular practice they can be kept
until they are proved. This important
phase Of the work in the dairy indus
try is not receiving the attention that
it should, and much greaer effort than
is now bsirj5 expended should be put
forth to preserve the lives Of mer.to-
rious bulls. The general practice Of
using on.H good proved bulls NJ.
Reed believes, will result in material
increase in the production CT the dairy
