The scrub hull is a mixture and almost without excep tion the had far out weighs the good. The scrub bull chokes instead of <pT0> meting improvement in the herd. And you can't expect these reettlts . from a grade bull; no matter if he la the* son of a high-producing cow. . Jkf grade bull has no lines of good Mbod back of him. He is*taore apt to transmit the weakness 'of his make-up than his strong points. But you can expect these results by using a good bull. A good bull must be a purebred- bull. tie must bs more. He must be a good pure-feftd ball. 'S'r.'~ Uee Only BMd-Por-PrOduction Sires. A good buH- must have hack of him a family of high producers, becauss ' be can transmit to his offspring only what be has recelred from his ances try.

Mis mother must 1x6 a ftlgh producer, aed his sire miibt come from a high jfoeducing dam. His sire must hare sired bighfprodnclnc daughters., If Ute family for two or three generations back has a record of uniformly high 'traduction, there Is little doubt that he will be able" to transmit that qual ity to his offspring. .

The unthrifty > usiness Is too*tamIliar. It attracts chiefly the driftwood among workers. Unpleasant surroundings and poor equipment make work drudg ery. Wages are below good stand ards. and the year is usually marked by periods of idleness, if not labor troubles. thrifty tnansgers hare learned in recent years that thrift, facilities ex tended to their employees are part of general thrift in management. The employee must set aside his surplus, too. He is more than willing to save if he is the kind of man who values n job with a thrifty concern. But R has not always been easy for htm to put his - .weekly savings in a secure place. Ravings institutions may be, far from the pay window. Employers hare overcome' this handicap in many cases by accepting deposits to be transferred to a bank, by selling se curities in their own 'business to em ployees on the Installment plan, and in Other ways. They have also taken pains to see that employees are not victimized by loan sharks or blue-sky promoters. Since the Thrift Stamp ^nd War Savings Stamps cume into existence there has been a wide development of this thrift movement for employees, as part of the management .of a thrifty bnsinesK. Employers know that thrift decr&ases labor turnover and also in creases ostput. * The worker who saves is not worried by debts. He thinks well enough of his job to set tle in Uie community, buy a home, raise a family. War Savings Stamps offer the best medium for group savings in business organisations. Thousands of savings' clubs or societies formed during the war to help finance the government have been fdund so valuable that thousands more will be organised. The best proof of the health, stability and usefulness of any industry is Ita hearty teamwork with the Treasury Department in organizing savings so cieties for the regular purchase of Thrift and War Savings stamps. ?

A farmer who will keep his buildings painted takes a much deeper Interest in his work than one who does not Another Minne sota bank says that well painted build ings have resulted In aecurlng from his. bank sometimes as high as 20 per cent more money than where the butldings_are not painted.

The rice presi dent, who answers tbe Inquiry, goes on to* say : ^There probably are many farmers good financially and morally who permit their buildings to remain unpainted, but as a rule the most sub stantial people who live in the coun try keep their buildings well painted."
