As in any other productive enterprise, success ful dairying depends upon two great principles economical production, and the successful marketing of the products. Economical production of dairy products depends primarily upon the cow and upon intelligent feeding, care and management. The unprofit able cow is a burden to the owner. One good cow often brings in more net profit than a dozen poor ones. The herd bull should be from a well bred Biro and a high production dam, and only well bred heifer calves should be raised on the modern dairy farm. If a bull of first-class breeding does not merely keep cows, but I makes the cows keep him. Such a! dairyman may be expected to manage his farm so that he and his family rau get both pleasure and urotlt ; therefrom. Most people are interested in get- j ting as much enjoyment out of their i work as possible, yet comparatively I few ran .levote their time to oleas- me Keeking without thought of llnau- business men that will Umpire eoun cial return.

GRAIN STANDARDS LAW IN EFFECT The I'nlted States grain standards act, which gives the secretary of agri culture authority to establish, as soon as may be, official grain standards applicable to grain shipped In inter state or foreign commerce, became a law on August 11, 1916. The act authorizes the secretary of agriculture to investigate the hand ling and grading of grain and to es tablish, as soon as may be, standards for corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley. flax seed and other grains. Not less than 90 days' public notice must be given in advance of the date on w hich any such standard becomes effective, i Whenever such standards are es tablished for any grain, the act for bids the shipment or delivery for for the success of a road program. A very necessary step Is to provide funds, which should be not less than ono mill state tax levy, which along with available government anil land graut funds would in a few year give us a good start on state high ways.
