Increase Productiveness of Herd by Better Sires Keeping books with your cows Is the only sure way to build a herd of high producers. By selecting cows on their records, discarding the unprofit able ones, using only good pure bred sires, and raising heifer calves from the best cows, one Is sure to Increase the productiveness of the herd. It Is also advisable to weigh each milking because It enables one to feed Intelligently and If sickness, neglect or abuse has caused a cow to drop In milk a remedy may be applied before the loss becomes serious. Weighing milk creates Interest among the milkers and encourages clean milking- and careful treatment of the cows. The greatest source of loss to the dulry Industry Is the unprofitable cow. A certain cheese factory paid one of Its patrons $877 for the product of eight cows while It gave another patron $SG8 for the milk from 22 cows. It pays to keep records. Ropiness in Milk Caused by Growth of Bacteria A ropy or slimy condition of milk, sometimes noticeable after the milk has stood several hours, Is caused by the growth of a certain class of bac teria which gain entrance after the milk Is drawn. Though probably not more Injurious than ordinary sour milk, this condl-1 tlon Is especially troublesome, as the bacteria are passed along through ves sels and otherwise to other milk and even to the dairies of an entire com munity. The remedy Is thorough washing and sterilizing of everything that In any wny comes In contact with the milk. Chlorinated lime, or bleaching powder, at the rate of 12 or 10 ounces to the 100 gallons of water is recommended by the dairy department of the Ohio experiment station as a safe and ef fective disinfectant. Find Crushed Corn Best at New Jersey Station At the New Jersey station ear corn was compared to corn and cob meal for feeding cows. The corn was broken nn th enh nnrl comnared to corn crushed in the ear; 6 pounds wheat bran, 10 pounds corn stover and a.4 pounds of hay produced 20.2 pounds milk with .89 pounds of fat for each' cow, while 6 pounds corn and cob meal, 6 pounds wheat bran wltn same amount of hay and stover produced 22.1 pounds milk, 93 pounds fat. Thus corn-and-cob meal exceeded corn from the ear by 9.4 per cent for milkand 4.5 per ce.nt in yield of fat. At Ninety He Takes Bride. : I,olt, O.

WALKER LANGUAGE THE scenes and the sounds of a great city speak' In a vernacular which Is reacMiy understood by him whose eyes and ears are attuned to the splendor and the din. And what is true concerning the seasoned citizen, Is proportionately true of the verdant visitor who, at a glance Interprets the meaning of the mile of a sturdy beggar grinding a hand-organ while his picturesquely frocked companion rattles a tambou rine, and passes It solicitously among the gaping group of music lovers to catch the stray pennies. The chimes In the church steeples, the tinkling bells of the Itinerant ped dler of many wares, Bpeak to all in a familiar tongue. The Russian or the Greek who can not frame a word of English knows well the lingo of the clattering milk cans In the early morning and an swers their call with alacrity. Who is so untutored that he cannot read the joy of the sound of the bab bling brooks, or the love In the song of the happy bird that is singing among the green hills to his mate. And the cumulus clouds with their ever-changing forms, their happy tints of purple and gold and silver, go sailing by In the evening sky tell ing their tales of magnificence which cannot be put in words, but which are easily comprehended hy the lovers of the sublime and the worshipers of Him who changes In a second the col ors of the worlds. The sigh and the songs of the winds ! i Who does not delight 'n their whis perings among the forest trees and the flowers, their moaning roars over the waters of the deep, their lullabies In the night when the earth Is still, and sleep, . half dreaming, closes weary eyes to refresh and give them new lus ter for a day unborn. Their language Is universal, under stood by creeping things, by beasts, by men and the angels. This Is no dead classic whose mes sage Is obscure. Every word is a liquid gem, requir ing no scholarship, no knowledge be yond that which nature bestows to make its meaning comprehensible and inspiring, like the master stroke of a painter's brush or the magic note of a nightingale alone with the listening stars of night, straining his little throat in praising his Maker. (() by McClura Newspaper Syndicate.) O- THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "CANNON" SOMETIMES a slightly differ ent method of spelling dis guises the fact that two appar ently dissimilar words rest on the same common foundation and are really so closely related that they may be said to be one and the same. A notable example of this is the "canon" or law as used in Scripture and church writings and "cannon" or heavy artillery. The word "canon" first meant the measuring rule or line of the carpenter. Then, figuratively, any measure or rule by which we gauge other things. But the carpenter's rule was properly a reed or "canna," this being se lected on account of its stralght ness, and mention of this meas uring reed Is made in the twenty first chapter of Revelation, A reed, however, In addition to be ing straight, is also hollow. Therefore, when the hollow en gines of war artillery were In vented, It was considered appro priate that they, too, be called by a word derived directly from the Greek "canna," the additional "n" being supplied to distinguish the military armament from the ecclesiastical. Much the same process appears In the German, where "rohr," at first signifying a cane or reed, has In like man ner been applied to the barrel of a gun. ( by Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

The feeder Is a long box, 1 foot high and 1 foot wide, with a sloped and slatted top, through which the hens put their heads to eat during the day. To convert this Into a Nit trap, a 4-Inch hole was bored in the end of the hopper, a short length of 4-Inch stovepipe fastened In the bole, and a bag tied over the other end of the pipe and spread out on the ground. A heavy board cover was hinged to the feed box ; this was kept open by means of a hook during the day, but the book was released, and Poultry Feeder and Rat Trap. , a small prop with a string attached to it used at night. The string led away to a distant window so that the poul tryman could pull It without entering the poultry house and disturbing the rats. A yank at the string let the cover drop and trapped the rats In side. Then, by beating on the cover with a stick, the rats were made to run through the hole, down the pipe, and Into the bag, where a few blows killed them. As long as the hens ate from the feeder the rats never seemed suspicious. L. Harris Hlscock, Ska neateles, N. Y., in Popular Mechanics Monthly. , ; Pay More Attention to Feeding Poultry Flock With the coming of cold weather and higher prices for eggs, careful poul trymen pay more attention than ever to the feeding of their flocks, so egg production may start early and be . maintained as long as possible. To help meet the demand for information on feeding, the college of agriculture at Ithaca has published a bulletin con taining the rations It has found by ex periment to be the most efficient. Di rections for the use of these feeds and for the management of flocks are also discussed, twq things which, In the words of the bulletin, are as Im portant as the mixtures themselves." The amount of feed depends upon the appetites of the birds, and no definite rule for feeding will apply to all conditions. Scant feeding in the morning and at noon, followed by a heavy feeding of 'grain In the litter of the hen , house early enough so the birds will find It before dark, has given best results. Green feed, oyster shell, and clean, fresh, pure water are also essential. Equal parts by weight of mash and grain are fed; the former is made as follows for laying hens: 100 pounds each of wheat bran, wheat middlings, cornmeal, ground oats or ground bar ley, and meat scrap, and three pounds of salt. The grain mixture consists of BOO pounds of cracked corn, 200 pounds each of barley and wheat, and 100 pounds of heavy oats. A copy of the bulletin will be sent to those who write to the college at Itliaca for E 45. Important to Note Size and Shape of All Eggs For those who are shipping eggs to special markets, it Is important to watch the size and shape of the eggs, as well as to see how many the hens are laying and what color they are. Too long an egg crushes from the top in shipping, and cuts down the re ceipts over a period of months; too wide an egg crushes from the side. Customers demand a fair amount of uniformity in size and shape, because It makes more attractive selling. They are willing to pay more for such qual ity. "The new breeder of today can make more money by breeding for egg quality than for more eggs," says an eastern authority: "Many who go In for producing more eggs overlook so many tilings. I recently saw a poultryman who had a number of hens with records up to 300 eggs per year each, and he had a flock of 200 aver age, but of nearly 100 eggs I saw, from as many different hens, not over 20 would pass for fancy eggs on the market and bring top price. Some would simply have gone as miscel laneous eggs; they were too small and tinted." Day of Definite Methods. The day for haphazard methods In breeding poultry has passed into the pages of history. This Is the day of definite, accurate methods. The mod ern poultryman must know definitely the sire and dam of the birds he raises if he is to have their exact pedigree. Pullets Lay In Winter. Young stock that begins to lay In the fall of the year will usually lay throughout the winter, , the period when eggs, are highest in price.
