If youwant bigger bits of butterfat,
u there's nothing better for bigger
pats of butterfat than a better bull.
And that bunch of BIS without
honey brings me to the matter of
insuring a better future milk produc-
ton in your herd by care in picking
out a herd sire.
The best way to judge bull is
by the milk production records
of it's daughters. So before you
select the animal which will sire
your calves, check back on the
bulls daughters. If those daugh-
tiers are producing at high rate
and have done so since the first
time they freshened, then the bull
is good enough for your herd
In the next few months, COWS
which will freshen in the fall of 1916
will be bred. A year from now, the
milk producers of 1948-49 and later
will be arriving on farms.
If you want COWS that will make
more pounds of milk and more pounds
of butterfat at no more cost than
ordinary COWS, you have the answer
in the selection of your herd sire.

Nearly starved to deathone summer
a lot of years ago. Worked on farm
which had a long-armed boarder
who could reach the length Of the
table, with no trouble at all.
In case you've got any ''boarders
in your herd, I suggest you check
your feed supply and see if you can
profitably replace such low produc-
ing cows with a well-bred heifer.
There's fine hay crop this year,
but it is bit early to talk about the
size of the grain crop. Just how much
you'll have for your winter feeding
is something you will want to check
into at this time.
Ifyour feed supplies don'tlook
too plentiful for your herd, you
surely would be using the supply
YOU have to better advantage if
part of it feeds a new and promis-
inc producer, rather than going
to a low producing cow.
Heavy milk producers use feed
more efficiently than do low pro-
ducers and return more dollars in
milk for the dollars in grain and
hay consumed.
Better look into this item before
you start your barn feeding program.

In making your plans for winter
feeding, remember that the exten-
sion people recommend that a COW
be fed on a basis of the quantity of
milk it produces. If we fed humans
on the amount of work done, know
some folks who'd be living on bread
and water - and not very good
water, either.
When you figure out how much
feed you'll need to take your cows
through the winter at top produc-
ton, check the milk production
records of each cow. Each animal
needs as much high quality forage
which it will eat, plus one pound of
grain for each three to FIVE pounds
of milk produced.
The exact amount of grain to
feed depends also on the quality
of the rouehaee and the breed
of COW. Holsteins and Brown
Swiss need a pound of grain for
each four or five pounds of milk,
but Jerseys and Guernseys need
a pound for each three to four
pounds of milk, Missouri says.

MICHIGAN TRIuMPHS AGAIN

Definitely not But even that type of game"
can become interesting.
When one stops to analyze the readjustment
Franks and Kuzma had to make in Their way of
living, from active athletes who rejoiced. in the
hours they spent while gaining yards on the
gridiron. to hospital patients who looked for
ward to no further achievement than gaining
minutes of time on their feet the greatness of
their victory is without challenge.
Through it all, their spirit has been high
light Before one Michigan game, some foot
ball players dropped in to cheer Franks and
Kuzma. Instead of cheering them. we found
them cheering us" grinned one of the visiting
grid giants as he left the hospital.
They tell their story in their own words:

Il couldn't believe il was true when they told
me had tuberculosis. l never had been sick

Kuzma adds this observation:
II had to 60 through the same transforma-
ton in my thinking Julie did. I knew very
little about tuberculosis. But once had ad-
1uSted myself 10 the TACT that would have to
stay here and rest until the thing was licked it

Athletics Not To Blame
Few medical men will blame sthetc con-
facts for the misfortune that hit the two grid
ders. They did not catch the disease while
playing football. The sport itself cannot be
blamed for that
However, clue can be found in the modern
medical analysis Of the disease. tuberculosis
can be present in any given person with no
noticeable traces. The disease simply remains
inactive
But under certain conditions. the body's de-
lenses arc weakened to the extent that the
disease gets an opportunity TO break out This
break through could result il that was too
weakening TO his individual system at thai time

of kuzma and Franks, their physical makeup

dividusls. This does not mean that football is
harmful or that the daily schedule Of Kuzma and
Franks would be too strenuous for any average
person But their routine may have been too
much for them.

WHAr is Michisans greatest victory?
F" Is it the Ia triumph over Racine college
IN 1879, the first football game ever played in
Michigan history! Can it be found in the many
Brown jug conquests in the long series with
Minnesota, or in the many years of Big Ten
battling which found the Wolverines capturing
IA conference football championships Or must
one turn to other sports - TO track where Michi-
gan teams annually excel, TO swimming where
the Wolverines are tops in the nation. or to
baseball where such modern major league
slugging star as Detroit's Dick Wakefield got
his start?
Or can one step outside the gridiron. the
gymnasium and the diamond to find the top tri-
umph Of them all in cheerful room on the
seventh floor OF Michgsn's University hospital?
Yes, Michigan victory is being registered
on the scoreboard in room I'll by two Wolverine
athletes in particular and all Of Michigans Maize
and Blue in general human conquest over
one Of mankind's most formidable adversaries.
To rate this triumph with the schools great ath-
letc moments may seem an exaggeration to an
uniformed outsider. but to every Michigan man,
from the most enthusiastic alumnus down
through Fritz Crisler and the athletic staff to
the meekest freshman numeral winner the tri-
umph OF Tom Kuzma and julius Franks is as
important episode as any that ever hap
pened in the college town Of Ann Arbor
Everyone remembers Franks and Kuzma.
Franks was the speedy. hard hitting Negro guard
who became an All American because of his
outstanding line play on the great Wolverine
teams of l94l and 1912. Kuzma was the new
Tommy Harmon from Gary, Ind, the hard
driving hafback who was heading for ALI
American spot when his collegiate career was
Unexpectedly halted shor, Of the goal line by
vicious tackler named tuberculosis.
Two years have gone by since then two
years that found two bcwildered young a;h-
letes overcoming staggering shock and plug
gng through the slow, discouraging stages that
emerge during any triumph over tuberculosis.
Their game" has been that all Of Michigan
has followed. and now it can be reported that
Kuzma and Franks will soor be ready to resume
a normal life and enjoy fulfment Of ambitions
that extend beyond the football field.
Officials at the school and doctors believed
II would be encouraging 10 both kuzma and

Their Typical Day
Their typical day has been plenty Of sleep
