Publicity Mania “Joe. it says here that another captain went down with his skip. What do you suppose is the big idea of doing a thing like that?” “Oh, that? Just a publicity stunt. Babe; just a publicity stunt.” When to Call “How’s your car running these days?” asked Smith. ’ “Well,” replied Jones, “if you are really interested in knowing you might call up my son at the house;

he’s the only one who can answer that. But'don’t, call before noon, because he doesn’t get up till then.” Astonishing Secretary—Yes, Mr. Culver is at liberty now.

c77ie DAIRY FRENCH WEED IS TOUGHEST PLANT’ French weed, said to be the toughest member of the mustard family, is under the dairyman’s ban forthe r reason that it gives a garlic-like flavor; to milk, cream, and finished butter when dairy cows are kept on pastures where the weed flourishes or are fed contaminated mill feeds. Only recentlya shipment of tainted butter originating in Minnesota hap- to take a discount of $2.75 a tub of 60 pounds, when sold on an eastern market. Dairy division men of the University of Minnesota will conduct ah experiment to convict the weed scientifically and to determine just how much' of it can be fed in hay to the cqw without tainting her product. They will study the matter of pasture regulations that will eliminate the danger of contamination to the minimum. Finally they will try to determine what treatment, if any, can be given ■ the milk to remove the objectionable flavor. According to botanists, french weed, ’ or pennycress, is an annual like wheat,, of winter or spring. The severest j cold does it no harm, and chemical i sprays that make other members of t the mustard family curl up and die I do not faze it. It cannot be crowded out by farm crops for it likes to-do all the crowding itself. A single pod smaller than the head of a thumb tack carries -a dozen or more seeds, seeds which have such astonishing vitality that they will live for years in the ! soil and develop plants in dense tim--1 othy sod. Large Road Signs Tell of County’s Good Bulls (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A large sign bearing the announcement. ■’«’:■>.V Comity, Pure-Bred Buds Used Exclusively.” greets visitors who enter Craig county. Virginia, by Tiny of its highways. The United States ! Department of Agriculture believes ; these signs to be the first of their kind erected anywhere. A few months .ago, Craig county farmers, co-operating with County Agent W. O. Martin and state extenI sion specialists, succeeded in eradicatirfg all grade and scrub bulls ami in establishing the use of pure-bred bulls exclusively in cattle-breeding operas tions. To “tell the world” of this ac-, complishment conspicuous road signs ' have been'erected at all points where i roads enter the county. ! In a recent letter to the department, County Agent Martin says, “Enthusiasm for pure-bred live stock is still growing and we have a vision of purebred sires for all animals in the near’ i future.” The fulfillment of this promising outlook would mean the exten-, sion of the pure-bred-bull accomplishi ment to include the exclusive use of pure-bred rams, boars, stallions, and I qther sires in the breeding of all farm ■ animals in the county. Dairy Cows Doing Well on Many Illinois Farm’s As if to do their bit in the present agricultural situation, dairy cows on Illinois farms are becoming highergeared milk producing machines, according to John 11. Brock, of the University of Illinois. This is reflected in records from the.state’s dairy herd improvement associations in which approximately 13.U00 dairy cows are bei ing tested for milk and butterfat proI duetion every month for the benefit of I some SOO dairymen. • Cows in these associations averaged 22.5 pounds of butterfat each during December, the most recent month for which complete records are available. This was a shade more than the average of the association cows in Decetn- ! ber, 1926. Likewise, the highest pro- ! ducing herd in December of the year f jus't past' exceeded the production of ! the best herd in December. 1926. by j two pounds of butterfat a cow.

0 ° | Dairy Facts S Silage is a valuable feed for dairycows. Heavy producing cows heed some., grain to supplement the roughage portion of their ration. Generally about one pound of a grain mixture is ted to three or four pounds of milk. Dairy farmers are beginning to realize the many advantages which obtain where generous amounts of grain are . incorporated in rations for the protein thus supplied is of a high quality which ,is enjoyed and appreciated by domestic animals. « • • No farmer has time to milk a cow that will not produce enough butter fat to pay for the cost of feed. • * * Any cream separator that leaves over four one-hundredths of 1 per cent of butter fat in the skim milk is stealing money -from .the farmer who owns it. Calves are apt to pick up infection either through the navel or through their feed. Therefore conditions should be watched from the standpoint of sanitation. * * • If you have a supply of mangels Cor the cows, cut one in two and hang it up in the hen house for the hens to peck at. • • * If calves have scours, the newly dropped calves should be quartered in another place that has been carefully cleaned and disinfected. • • Equal parts of ground oats, ground barley, ground corn, wheat bran and linseed meal will‘make a good mixture to feed a bull when he gets ylover and timothy hay for roughage
