Cow prices have doubled since 1882
80; dairy feed prices have risen only
a third.
"FOrtunately this upward trend has
been maintained. Today the outlook
is greatly improved . r what it was
in 80 and 49," Van Pelt says. Cow
prices at present range from 500 to
$125-and good ones hard to find
Milk prices vary from $150 per hun
bred pounds up to So, depending on
use and market. Dairy feeds run
around $45 per ton. with hays bring
ing about $40 for the same grade that
sold at SIS ton few years ago.
Milk Cows Profitable Now
"Quite a different outlook from the
bleak years of 80 and SO when profits
were almost an impOssibility," Van
Pelt comments. To-day there are
definite profits to be made in dairying
provided the dairyman thoroughly un
derstands the problems confronting
him. Besides watching prices on
feeds. animals. and milk. the good
dairyman must devote a great deal
of consideration to the care of his
herd.
Dry Cows important

herd is the dry cow and yet it Is
during this period that she is most
universally neglected" according to
Van Pelt Research shows that dur

individual farm.
1t is recognized by the Soil Conser-
walton Service that there are steeply
sloping areas on the majority of
farms, which can better be used for
producing trees than for any other
farm crop. 1t is well known also
that perhaps no other form of use
will serve SO well to prevent the rap
i'd runoff of water with the accom-
panying loss Of soil.

Feather picking is a vicious habit
held over from chick days. 1t can
sometimes be checked by providing
birds with bulk, such as good green
dried alfalfa. A box of soil about 4
feet square in each pen may break up
the habit. The soil should be changed
every week.
Many poultrymen object to feeding
wet mash at night. 1t chills the birds
in cold weather. and not enough mash
can be consumed to keep the birds
comfortably filled until morning. Mash
pressed into handy grain-like pellets
fills definite need in the feeding pro-
gram. Purina Layena checkers should
be fed In the evening so that every
bird goes to roost with full crop.
Many breeders rotate their male
birds, using red, blue and yellow leg
bands. Each set of males is kept with
the flock four days, then rested eight
days. This increases fertility and
keeps the males in fine condition.
Practical research on how to handle
male birds shows that they develop
better If kept by themselves on free
range through the growing season and
into late fall. Various pens of birds
should not be mated until two weeks
before eggs are to be saved for hatch.
ing. Males should be kept where there
is little likelihood of their combs
freezing. since this definitely reduces
fertility and lowers the hatch.

telephones in the world are in the
United States, which has an average
of about fourteen telephones for every
100 of its population. The next high
est per capita distribution is in Cam
ada, which has about eleven telephones
for every 100 people. Can la has,
however, only about three and one-haf
per cent of the worlds total. Europe
has thirty-six per cent. of the worlds
telephones, but only two telephones
per 100 of population. Denmark has
the highest per capita development in
Europe, with slightly over ten tele-

throughout Greece. At the close of
1885 there were $4,000 telephones In
operation as compared with 5000 at
the end of 1881. All but 1000 of the
telephones in service at the latter date
were dial operated. Greece is one Of
the few countries of the world that is
not connected by telephone with the

 'No," Celia told Judge Dick ensOn.
 'How about your father?"
 "WelI, father and mother were always fighting" the girl accused.
