among other important considerations
with selecting a site and perhaps super
vising the building of a handsome new
embassy, makes stronger appeal than
his acknowledged gifts of statesman
ship
Japan has for the past Is years had
in mind to sell the present embassy,
the handsome mansion, at one time in a
fashionable locality at 1921 K street,
and the home for many years Of John
Sherman when he was Senator from
Ohio and during his term as Secretary
of State. Except the German embassy
this is the only foreign home so close
to the business center and 1t has been
the ambition of every envoy from Toxic
since 1918 to exchange the property for
something far removed from the noise
and dust of this section. M. Matsudaira
was about to take up the question when
the preparations for his daughters
marriage to an imperial prince drove
all lesser things to the background. Il
is unlikely that NJ Debuchi. who will
have many portentious matters awaiting
him, will act on the embassy change
at once. A year ago the cfancelfy
leased for three years the fine dwelling
on the corner of 10th and Rhode Island
avenue. It is believed that the transfer
of both embassy and chancelTy under
one roof or in buildings Of the group de-
signed like the new British embassy,
will await the expiration Of this lease.
This would look TO the new japanese
embassy on a site yet to be selected IN
about 1890 or 1881,

"P Proved Sire
Is Dairy Hope
Necessary to Compare Year
" Records Of at Least
Five Daughters.


: prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculturel
A factor of great Importance In the
building up Of dairy herd is the use
of good proved bull, says O. E. Reed,
chief Of the bureau Of dairy industry.
United States Department of Agricul-i
ture.
To prove bull, according to the
standards set by the bureau, 1t is nee
sessary to compare the yearly records
Of at least his first five daughters with
the records of their dams. Such a
comparison indicates the probable val
ne Of a bull to. a herd.
Record Of One Sire.
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
dams. The dams were. without ex-
ception, much better than the aver
age dairy cows Of this country. The
lowest producer had q record OF S14
pounds Of butterfat. ana the average
or all the dams was, 1856 pounds. The
! Is, daughters Of this sire. however,
averaged 545 pounds Of butterfat. Here
was an average gain Of 1859 pounds OF
butterfat, or more than 40 per cent.
Even more remarkable, every one of
the is daughters was q better producer
than her dam. The sire is to be credit
ed with most of the Improvement.
Last year, according to Mr.. Reed,
only 200 dairy bulls were proved In $50
dairy-herd Improvement associations.
It was found that pf this number only
one in six was still alive at the time
he was proved. Some proved bulls
should be slaughtered because theiF
records are bad, hut the prep0tent
bulls which have demonstrated their
ability to sire daughters more produc-
tive than their dams should be kept as
long as they are useful.
Exchange Of Bulls.
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 industry
is not receiving the attention that it
should, and much greater effort than
is now being expended should be put
forth to preserve the lives of meritori-
Gus bulls. The general practice Of
using only good proved bulls, Mr.. Reed
believes. will result in a material In
crease in the production Of the dairy
cows of the country.

Tramping of Silage
May Be Lost Motion
Farmers Find Untramped
Material Is Best.

Silo filling crews are being reduced
in number as farmers discover that
the tramping of silage is not necessary
and that untramped siIage is often Of
higher quality than the forage packed
by tramping.
/ "Untramped silage is of as good or
better quality than tramped silage,"
declares E. j. Delwiche, superinten-
dent of the Ashland and Sturgeon Bay
branch (Niscensin) experiment sta
lions, when summarizing silo filling
experiences at the experimental farms.
"Since tramping is generally uneven
and results in many pockets. there is
less mold in the untramped silage.
'.To seal the. top Of the silage, the
last few feet should always be care
fully leveled and tramped when tramp
ing Is not done.
The ideal arrangement when the
silo is fillel without tramping would be
to have the distributor fixed so that q
man could control it without walking
on the corn. Such plan would COM
pletely eliminate air pockets resulting
from tramping.
I. First attempted during the war when
farm labor was difficult to secure. I'LL.
Ing siIos without tramping was found
to be surprising success, explains
Delwiche, and has since become a
common practice on many dairy farms.
Instead of keeping the customary crew
of two or three men inside the silo,
some farmers use but one man or a
boy to level Off the corn while others
remove all but the first two or three
sections of the distributor pipe leav-
ing the corn distribute itself by grav-
ity as it forms cone shaped pile in
the center Of the sil0.

Lime Composite Proper
Substitute for Manure

Compost-niaking is almost lost
art but at one time 1t fiourished Wig
Orously. Some of the farmers of so
years ago were great adopts in the
art. In certain districts compost heaps
are still made. and the practice might
well become general. The type of COM
post that has persisted longest is the
old lime" compost, which is made
with soft vegetable waste, mold and
lime. The demand for stable manure
is far in excess of the supply. because
OF the increased motor transport. The
old economic law works, and prices
have risen beyond the reach of many.
By increasing the supply Of manure
farmers can in a large measure sup
ply themselves, and do a public serv-
ice in cheapening the commodity.
If the plant waste is used rs de-
cayed manure. there is returned TO
the ground what the crops have ex-
tracted. and what has been breathed
in by the plants out of the air. All
that woodland receives in the shape Of
soil feeding is its own fallen foliage
and some nitrogen in the rain. Com
post material is complete food, hold
ing nitrogen. potash, phosphate and
lime.

the first cross Of pure bred sire on
a grade female will be SO per cent
grade and SO per cent pure bred.
This offspring then bred to pure

whose makeup is rs per cent grade
and 75 per cent pure bred. BY con-

Lamb Feeding Offers a
Means Of Marketing

Lamb feeding has been profitable
during the past few years and offers
a splendid means of marketing feed
at profit. Good western range
lambs are generally safer to feed
since farm raised native lambs are
frequently troubled with stomach
worms. Lambs infested with stomach
worms will not make good gains in
the feed lot and losses are likely to
occur. The market prefers fat lambs
that do not weigh over 90 pounds and
will not pay as high price per hum
dred-weight for fat lambs Weighing
over 80 pounds. Feeder lambs should
not weigh over 20 pounds when put
into the feed lot.
