Pffij '-J CHOICE OF DAIRY SIRE IMPORTANT Greater Need for Using Bull? of Tried Ability. Selection of the dairy-herd sire Is jerimps the must important factor to be considered in the development of a high producing, economical dairy herd, says (.’, A. Smith, extension dairyman at the Colorado Agricultural college. t’ow testing association records so far tabulated throughout the United States show, he says, that about onethird of the pure bred sires are lowering the production .of their daughters h> comparison with the production of the dams of those daughters; about one third are raising the production slightly; but'the great increases are cothing from only the remaining third of the sires in use. The higher the production of the herd. the more difficq.lt it is to raise production through the sire, and the greater the need for using a bull of proved ability, it -is pointed out.’ ■ “Economical production of milk is an important' factor in profitabledairying,'’ Mr. Smith emphasizes, “and <ow -testing association records are showing the way to such economical production. Continued practice of close selection, coupled with better feeding and inaiiageihent. will raise the ayerage production of our dairy COWS with a -corresponding Increase in the of that. production. Bfit still greater improvement may be made by paying close attention to the ; quality of the herd sire,” Cow Forced to Depend Upon Pasture for Feed Spring and summer are the seasons when many tariners “put their cows In . the milk- pail.'' They do thia 'by trying to keep eons on either too greeii or tow rijte pasture. Green grass carries better than'Bs per cent water and ft cow cannot consume enougli of it to provide the substances necessary for milk production. For the average vow. it would be pecesaisry- f<>r her to consume UM> pounds of grass dally. <’h the ordinary farm pastures, it would require approxi mutely four acres to supply her with that much. It is Impossible for her to utilize this hulk. When the cow Is forced to dependentirely upon pyistifre for getting the nutrients necessary tor milk making, tdie is comiwlled to use her reserve to make up the deth ienev Os the various milk producing k'lb-namThis practice results in a loss of flesh, which will eventually decrease the lactation • period at>d lower milk flow.

The more feed consumed, the more water the cow requires. • • • The richness,’of n cow's milk Is a matter, of inheritance and not of feed. Ortain tu tors do influence the test, such as breed, stage of lactation. A .study .recently completed showed there was, very little relationship between the records made by a bull’s daughters and that of his own dam while there was a very close relation ship between the records made by his daughters and those made by his sisters. Records show that fall freshening cows will produce 15 per cent or more fat than where spring freshening is the rule. • • • A temporary surplus of dairy products caused by low , buying power on the part of the consumer makes nee essary a dairy program that includes juore rigid culling of the dairy herds, feeding in proportion to production, reduction or saving of labor on the care of the dairy herd, and veallng of all calves except those from the best cows. • • • • Milk from cows suffering from diseases such as tuberculosis, foot and jnouth di-ease, infectious abortion, udder diseases, etc„ is unsafe for consumption because of its danger of containing the germ of these diseases. - • • • When a cow producing 202 pounds t<jf fat a year, can be made to produce 1816 pounds simply by giving her more Heed of the right kind, it can readily |be seen Abat liberal feeding of a well ’balanced)ration is a most important ector in the successful management • dairy cow.

mVLTfif MAKING PROFITS RAISING SQUABS Careful Attention Must Be Given to Details. (Prepared bv the United State* Department ot Agriculture.> Squab production will return a fair profit to persons who are willing to give careful, regular attention to the right kind of pigeons. Poultry men sometimes raise squabs as a specialty, but more commonly as a side issue to general farming or backyard poultry raising. Poultry specialists of the United State* Department of Agriculture point out that it Is advisable to start on a small scale and observe market conditions. Details concerning the method- of housing, selec-tion-of breeding stock, and management of pigeons are described in Farmers Bulletin 654-F, “Squab Raising,’* recently Issued in a revised edition. “The, greatest difficulties that confront the beginner.” the bulletin explains “are procuring good breeding stock and finding a market for the squabs. The profits in this business have been rreatly over-estimated. In su cessful plants producing market - ’iiabs only, the average annual return above cost .of fuel is between $2 and $2.50 for each pair of breeders. To be successful at the business, the squab raiser must give careful attention to details and have a thorough knowledge of squab production.’* The following important points In squab raising are mentioned in the bulletin. A variety of g«Hxl-qunlity, hard grains, including peas, should be fed; rhe pigeon pen should be dry, weil ventithited. ’and free from rats and mice; and a double nest should be provided for each pair of breeders. Supply fresh drinking water, protected from dirt, and provide a separate pan for bathing. The squabs ■should be mark- n as they are leathered under the wings. Copies of Farmers' Bulletin 6-S4-F -may be procured from the Office of Inforniation, United . tales. Department bf Agriculture, Washingtotn. DT 0. Turkey Business Shows Satisfactory Increase Turkey raising in the United States has been regarded As a side issue and gamble, but increasing knowledge of parasitic diseases and their control Is putting the industry on a more stable basis, says A. R. L<*e. poultry husbandman of the United States Department. of Agriculture. “There, are ton inore than B,StM,OOO ttirkeya on farms in this country, and they constitute Iper cent »f all poultry. The 1W29 crop ot market turkeys indicated a decided advance in the business as compared with 11*28. The t <ti- - mate<| Increase was about 9 per cent.” Pullets Beginning to Lay Need Proper Mash Pullets ready to start their careers as layers are ready for the feed of ■ their elders. At this age they need a 1 htynrg mush which contains more uni- ‘ ,muT protein,' - The University Os Wisconsin sug-gest.-.as a "mash for pullets about ta i st.ift laving. <<|ti;il parts of ground corn, ground oats., wheat bran, stand- , .ant middlings, and meat scraps.

Grain, oyster shell and water are other essentials in h laying ration, i .Milk Is an excellent poultry feed and ’ may be substituted for one-half the meat scraps in the mash, if it is kept before the hens all .he time. Alfalfa Is an Ideal pasture for poul- | try. It is iwrennial and probably of- . fens the most nourishment of all the plants you might grow. • • • <; >od-Thanksgiving turkeys are well i fed and fattened. A fat turkey car- ■ ties a great deal of flesh , and the meat Is of higher quality. • • • There Is so little difference in the merits of the White R<»cks and Barred Rocks that few c-perts would venture to recommend one In preference to the ether. • * • Egg size can be Increased, quite often, by feeding milk In some form. If skim milk Is plentiful on the farm, it Is advisable to mix a wet mash with milk instead of water. Milk may. also be provided, in the drinking foun-: tains. • • • • There Is nothing which will Improve the quality of summer eggs more than the production of infertile eggs. This means that all roosters should be removed from the breeding flocks just as soon as hatching eggs are no longer, needed. • • • Check the laying house and see that everything 'jb in preparation for winter. How la the «ooft Water from above will make a damp house thia winter. A damp bouse may subject the birds to disease. Close the rear ventilators. • • • From a sanitation standpoint it is far better to place alt grain and mash for chicks in hoppers or boxes than In litter or on the bare, filthy ground. Diseases and parasites can be spread easily through feed which comes in contact with filthy Utter or ground.

“HIGH-BROW” HATS POPULAR; PARIS SAYS SEALSKIN COATS

That is they have the shallowest of crowns and the most ravishing tip-tilted brims, and when you put them on the head there you are h»ok>g prettier and younger and more debonair than your mirror has reflected for years. There’s inagie in this new tip-tilted, high-brow mode which urges you to “show your curls and look pretty.’’ Am thcr truth which the -1930 hats are demonstrating is. “there are two sides to a story." The model at the top of the troup pictured illustrates this point perfectly. Vieffed from one side, it has a wide picturesipie brim.

The belted mode has invaded the coat realm to nd little extent, a move which is accounted for in that fall and winter styles have gone decidedly Russian.

New Orleans Conducts Business Over Coffee Few affairs of importance have been discussed in New Orleans except over ! a cup of coffee, writes Ralph A. Graves in the National Geographic Magazine. Here, as in the Near East, business seems to function more easily to the accompaniment of sips of the bitter black FiVnch drip than in any other, and the most harassed executives will pause for ten minutes in mid-morning, leave their offices and go to the restaurant or the hotel for a cup .of coffee-- nothing more. On the top floor of one of the most progressive banks ,in the state —and J in countless other establishments, no i. doubt—there is a special kitchen and ■ dining room to’which the employees retire when the bank closes at three; after their cup of coffee they return to their desks.
