A like amount is expected this year. The hives are scientifically constructed, having an outer casing to protect the bees from t. :eat in summer, and during the winter they are protected from extreme cold weather by packing placed ab., it their homes. Fruit trees nearby furnish cooling shade and, when blossoms are in bloom, ready material which the busy little workers convert into honey.

The work of organizing pib clubs among rural boys and girLs begins this week. District No. 3 of Wayne township is the first one to b organized. Joe Kaufman, teachfr, has interested six hoy? and arrangements are now being made to pecure the 'pigs for them. The boys have the choice of any hteod, but must feed and care for them according to club inst ructions. Many fine prizes are being offered in addition to the knowledge gained by actually owning and breeding a pi?J. P. Higgens, of Jefferson township, whose boy won the scholarship t. the Michigan Agriculture college last year says that he considers the club work a mighty fine thing for the rural boys and girls. From his experience he .days many parents can learn from what the boys are doing in the feeding and managv mfnt of their pigs. Kvery effort is being made this year to secure enough pig? to supply the club members. At present there are not enough Hampshires to supply the wants of the members. Other breeds are also being looked up to retire the best gilts f'T the boy?.

GOOD SIRE WORTH MANY TIMES COST

Some Pure-Bred Cows Worth V-, ... - een rane animals ot Low Producing Type. HY 1Z. C. IJIUI St. ,T(e County Agricultural Apnt. An ordinary dairy cow in St. Jo-1 teph county will produce less 4, COO pounds of milk per year test ing less than four percent and making le? than 1 7 f . pounds of butf. rfat. A number of cows in this country will produce 30.ÖU0 pounds of j milk per year with over 1.000 pounds ot buttertat. in ether words, it would be possible to replace a herd of f-even cows with one of these high producing cows and get the rame amount of milk with a decreased amount of labor and cost of handling. j 'But it is out of the question to at-; tempt to improe the herd in this manner. The big producing Holstein or Guernsey cow commands a price i above her milk producing ability, be-j

I cause she also has the ability to pro-(that !duce calves that will carry her highlthe

production tender.?' to her oiTspring. Old Methods Not Surrosful. So the short cut in Increasing the milk flow of a herd is not the com mon method of turning them unto i washy grass in the spring, but the practice of long fcgo followed in Den - mark and real dairy sections in this country. That practice is the Improvement of herds through the pure-bred sire. Where herds are pmall and one sire can be used for everal herds there Is a wonderful chance to "pool" interests and brln? in some real breeding. Right here in St. Joseph county an opportunity was riven breeders. i on May 19, to secure wrae of the best blood lines in the Holstein breed for herd sires. On June 1, the Berrien county breeders will make like offerings for their breed at their annual meeting at Berrien Springs. Must Have Good Ancestors. The new breeder and the, dairyman is beginning to recognize the fact that the registration alone does not fill the bill. The animal must be an individual but most important of all he iruust have the ancestry back of him. The closeness of this high producing ancestry is exceedingly important. A high producing female or t?ire in the second or third generation back Is much more valuable than it i three, four or five generations back. The nearer the high production is to the sire In question the more cash it is worth. Then too, the more high producing ancestors in , the pedigree the greater the chance for the sire to transmit "production" to his offspring. The passing on of certain qualities from sire and dam to offspring, has often been likered to placing a lot of beans in th bag and drawing them out blindfolded. For Instance if half the bean? are white, and half are black and they are well mixed, you will come v?ry close to drawing out half white and half black. If! three-fourths are white and onefourth are black, three-quarters of the beans you draw should be white. In just the same way if threequarters of the ancestry of a fire are high producing dairy cows, the chances are that the big majority of his offspring will be high producers. If on the other hand he has no ancestry on which were high producers, his ferns le progeny will undoubtedly produce less than their mothers. Top notch high producing siren are out of reach of the average man. Rut nom? of their descendants can be purchased, and quite easily so, if sevt ral men would pooi their scrubs for one good sire. Take for instance the leading bull of the Holstein breed, Sir Pieterje Ormsby Mercedes (44931). This sire has 14 daughter with record ofi over 1,000 ...... ,..a k..a. crtc. pouii'i oi uuuri ov r i fat) per year. 1 of his daughters in the Advanced Register have records that average 17,816.29 pounds I ,f r-i OL- rto- -v. q r- tcjtlnir 1 A C' r-i . n - !

This I bull mav be termed an "our rrrs" ,.; may his j'arnts being , , I f nr. univ.air 4."The ceneology table shows very clearly that this animal was not developed on the hit and miss plan, but that his ability to transmit high j production is caused by the bringing together of blood lines that are noted for their production and their ability to transmit productiem."
