Castrating Is practiced, as everyone knows. In order to Improve the quality of the finished meat and also to make the animals more rapid gaining and the gains more econom ical. Castrating can be practiced at al most any time from two weeks old up until long after weaning. The one mistake that many farmers make In tills connection Is to wean the pigs and castrate them all at the same time. This perhaps Is an ensy way to get a had Job off their hands, but tbe persons practicing It generally pay pretty dearly for their convenience, for this places a double burden on tbe young growing animal for they, at best, lose a good deal of flesh and be come 8tunted In consequence. Reasonable Profit Made in Raising Baby Beeves Beef cattle breeders are an enthu siastic bunch despite the fact that beef cattle have been selling low for soma time. They have a ready market f»*r their young stock as baby beef and It speaks well for the future of the In dustry that a goodly per cent of the product Is nowadays going that route. If only the best are saved for breeding purposes constant Improvement Is the result. The beef market does not offer high prices, neither does It cull for high overhead costs, deduced to Its simplest terms tbe breeding and feeding of good beef cattle for the baby beef market pays u reasonable protlt and helps to turn Into • cashable commodity much o f tbe roughage of tbe farm and pastures. The greater crops that result, and the constant maintenance o f soil fertility are ques tions for us to ponder. Feed for Spring Pigs For spring pigs, soaked shelled corn seems to have no particular advantage over enr corn. In the esse of pigs weighing over 140 pounds, however, It seems that soaked shelled corn may have a slight advantage. Older pigs apparently do not chew their food quite aa thoroughly as younger pigs. At any rate, experiment* at the low* station proved that anaklng tbe shelled corn seemed to be of some help with the older pigs, but not with the younger pigs. ( C o p y r i g h t . 1925.)

THE RETURN OF THE COL LEGE BRED Over on the Klein piazza, cool, ft*«li ly dressed, and comfortably curb'd Up in an easy clmlr, I could sen lately returned from the State uni versity where her brother told me she was taking domestic science, but now with a copy o f Ibsen or the latest mug- azine In her hand, she was cultivating her literary tastes or perhaps just en joying herself. No one has servants in my native town, so I could Infer with a certainty that Marie's mother was out In the hot kitchen washing the breakfast dishes or stirring up some thing good for luncheon. Marie’s do mestic science was theory only— she shyed a little ut the practice, and let mother do the work. I had occasion one day to drive out Into the country, and In my wander ings I encountered Sam Warren. Sant had been registered In the State Agri cultural college, hut he bad not been thought by any means the brightest hoy In his class. In fact Sam's col lege record if judged by the grades recorded In the registrar's books would have pointed pretty clearly to the fact that Sam was a "bom-head." He had been out of college now two.years and laid time to turn such information and training as he had acquired to some practical purpose. The Wurren furm hud been worked for a long time; the soil was Im poverished and the buildings had be gun to look pretty dilapidated when Sain went to college. A first glance now would show that there had been a complete regeneration. The fences were as trim as they could he made; the buildings were shining with fresh paint, and everything about the place was neat and orderly. There were fields o f alfalfa and clover; sheep were grazing in the pasture; there was mod ern machinery everywhere; and It was plain to see from the healthy grain and cornfields that somebody had been giving attention to the soil. By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK ilKIlE Is a wide difference between whut we actually teach people in college, or anywhere else for that mat ter, and what we think we teach them. My first experience Illustrates the point to uiy own satisfaction at least. The exact subject I was presenting does not matter; It was only the fact that I thought I was Interesting my students, that 1 was putting certain literary facts clearly and forcefully before them, that 1 was actually giving them something definite and specific. I was really proud o f the manner In which 1 was carrying It off— that is, I was until I read my first tinul examination papers; then I revised my mental atti tude toward tny talents as an instrut-- tor. No one really passed the exami nation. Possibly I hail conveyed to them some sort o f Information—they often tell me I was a good teacher— hn< it was certainly not the things that I laid Imagined l was teaching. I believe this result is not an un common tine. Last summer near the regular time tif the return of the college student to his old home town, 1 visited I d the vil lage In which I had spent my child hood. Most of the young people who j graduate from the local high school go j off to college, and most of these who go off ultimately come hack—some of them, sad to say. somewhat sooner than their friends anticipate. I was down at the station when Boh Lord returned from a short stay at Michigan, lie was dragging a reluc tant hull pup by a chain, he was carry ing a heavy golf hag resplendent In the tartan o f the McGregors or some other Scotch elan, and he was gotten up in togs o f a cut and color never before seen on the streets of that town. There was not a golf links with I found on inquiry that Sam had not in fifteen tulles, or a dog fancier in the county, so that what Boh brought home only revolutionized things on his own from college was likely to do him lit farm, but that he was looked upon as a regular oracle by tile neighbors who tle good at home. A few days later George Fosbenner took his advice and followed his blew In from Northwestern lugging a methods. sylophone and a ukelele.

( A 1**1. w e a r , N e w s p a p e r I’ B l o l . ) T Sanitary floors are a first require ment to a cleanly dairy. Non-absorb ent material and without crevices where dirt and filth can lodge Is recommended. It should be easily washed and disinfected. In building a dairy barn floor, all rubbish and refuse within tbe enclo sure should be removed and the floor area graded to the required level, al lowing, of course, for the thickness of the floor. The soil should be thor oughly compacted. If It is possible for water to get under the floor at any time this possibility should be re duced by using a fill of clean gravel, cinders or crushed stone and provid ing suitable drainage. The gravel or cinder sub base. If used, must be thoroughly compacted and consolidat ed by tamping or rolling. Forms for defining flour slabs, alley- ways or other -areas to be concreted should be o f smooth lumber, rigidly braced In line and carefully set to proper grade. The tuanger curb Is usually placed first. It should be not less than four Inches thick and Is usually made about six Inches high on the stall side. Uprights supporting stanchions are o f several types. Some are attached to anchors which are set la the curb and others are embedded In the concrete. Feed and litter alleys 1 are usually placed after the curb, then the stall platform and manger are placed. The length of stall platform, that Is, j distance from manger curb , the to gutter, will depend upon the breed , o f cattle kept. For Jerseys or Guern | seys the average length Is about four feet eight Inches; fur Holsteins about j five feet Is neoessury. The platform should be pitched about one Inch from the curb toward the gutter. The surfuee o f the manger should be finished smooth, with corners care fully rounded to make cleaning out easy and to provide a comfortable sue- face for the animals to eat from. Lit ter and feed alleys should be finished with a wood float to secure an even but gritty surface, thus providing se cure footing for the animals. In dairying It Is entirely possible to ! get nothing for something. This Is the | conclusion of the New Jersey state dulry specialist after reviewing records of dairy herds In the Mercer County Cow-Testing association. It was found that though some cows had unsatlaMe appetites and good appearance Hey were niggardly in their milk output, whereas other cows eating but little more would give four and one half times aa much milk. Three cows ate $79 worth of feed apiece In one year and returned their owners 8,292 pounds o f milk each. Two other cows each nte $168 worth of feed and gave tlielr owners 14,817 pounds o f milk each. Thus, for 2.1 times as much feed the good cows gave four and one-half times as much milk. By calculating further, the special ist found that It cost the owners of the poor cows $2.40 In feed for each 100 pounds o f milk, against $1.13 for an equal amount o f milk from the good cows. When labor, housing and haulage expenses were added. It was found that the cost of producing 100 pounds o f milk with the poor cows was greater than prevailing sale prices. Hence, these low-yleldlng ani mals were eating up the profits mads on the high-producers. This Is a clear case, concludes the I state specialist, o f wasting feed, labor and harn space on worthless cows, or of getting nothing for something. Save Young Live Stock to Increase Net Profit Cutting down the high and costly death rute among Infant live stock Is one of the farm problems for which the farmer must apply the solution himself. The causes of early deaths In live slock fall Into three general classes: 1. Conditions little Influenced by treatment: Malformation, extrem* feebleness or extreme prematurity, certain accidents during birth. 2 Conditions capable of consider able reduction, chiefly through proper hygiene sanitary Isolation, and medl- j csl treatment: Tuberculosis, acute respiratory diseases, certain acuta I contagious diseases, some forms of animal parasitism. 8. Conditions capable o f a very great reduction through proper feed ing. care, and sanitation: Acute gas trointestinal diseases, goiter troubles prematurity (If not extreme), many forms o f nnlmal parasitism. Failure to Breed Failure of cows to breed may be dua to one of many causes. The chief cause, however. Is Infection with con tagious abortion. This disease bring* about changes in tha maternal organ* which make conception either oncer tain or entirely Impossible. The treat ment consists o f manual manipulation of the uterus and ovaries and regular Irrigation. A cure can he brought about only by a prolonged coarse of treatment at a eoaatderabla oxpena* to the owner.
