Ways to Better Live Stock. From an analysis of enrollment re cords in the "Better Sires-Bette Stock" campaign during the first three months, the United States Dc partment of Agriculture presents figures showing that the use of pure bred sires appears to lead automat ically to ownership of well-bred female stock also. Summing up the factors which will n- hasten live-stock improvement and re bring many benefits, the department ' makes the following requests of live stock owners: Use purebred sires of good quality in all classes of live stock. Dispose of scrub, grade, and inferior purebred sires. Keep breeding records. Many excel 'K lent animals of pure breeding have in the past been forced to rank as grades or scrubs owing to lack of records. Join an active live-stock association and attend fairs, exhibitions, and judg ing contests where well-bred animals K of good typo are shown. Rend good agricultural literature, including live-r' 'k and farm papers. The Departni' of Agriculture and the various Scates will send helpful' bulletins on request. Cooperate with your county agent, your agricultural college, and other 1 constructive forces in improving the quality of live stock in your commun ity. Better live stock aids the breeder both in direct returns and by giving a locality a favorable reputation. The - sum total of all improvement, of course, advances the . international standing of the United States with re spect to its live stock and live-stock products. Graded Eggs Bring Premium. Eggs from the Pacific coast in large amounts were first shipped across the continent to the New York City mar r ket two years ago. Now they are bringing a premium of from Ito 2 cents, according to market quotations. That this is due to the strict grad r ing practiced by the shippers of the Far West is the belief of men in the Bureau of Markets, United States De partment of Agriculture. The reputa tion for careful grading which the i westerners have attained in other pro <'ueta shinped east has spread to in clude eggs. Meat Animals in Combinations. The keeping of cattle and of swine a appear to be almost inseparable opera tions. This fact is being brought out in the returns of the "Better Sires Better Stock" crusade of the agricul dy tural colleges, the United States De wo partment of Agriculture, and cooperat er- ing agencies. This general practice has long been known, but much more :le- lefinite information is being gather-I n el, and the purpose is to extend it to he such an extent as to determine the re ap lationships among all meat animals. m- If nearly every man who keeps cat ell tie also keeps hogs, and if nearly nevery man who keeps hogs also keeps Scattle, the inevitable conclusion is that the com bination pays, especially wvhen ofpurebred sires are used. But it re rts mains to be determined what are the mi iost common anid the best paying pro-. port)11ions. The snme thing applies also heto comb'nations of cattle and sheep, ofor swine and sheep, or cattle and esheep andl swine. One benefit of the heyork will be that it will enable the man of small perisonal experience to t-avail h im)self oif the wide experien~ce the of ai great numbier of men in) working out the comblinations of meat animals that he will carry on his farm. -st 05- Women who had incomes during the iau- year 1910 are" rem ind(ed by Collector 'ins of Internial Re venue, D).

If she 'or- is the head of a family, as dlefined in n a thed Income Tax Regulations, she may ful, claim $1000 additional exemption. fir; Also,, she may claim further exemp uin- ioo $200, for each person for whom ine. she is the chief support, if the depen ehy dent is undl~er 18 or mentally of physi in cally defective. hat A married woman who has an in Phe come from a separate source than her nu- Jhusband is entitled to file a sepa rate Ordinarily a husband and wife file one joint return, including the income of both, but if the husband does not include his wife's income, the wife is required to file her own return. Sep arate returns of husband and wife are required if either had a net income exceeding $5000. A married woman who lives with her husband is not allowed a prescrib ccl exemption. She and her husband have $2000, plus $200 additional for each dependent; and this exemption may be taken by either or divided in any manner between them. A woman who was widowed during 1919 may claim exemption for the full year, on the basis of her status as of December the 31st. A wife, whose husband is in a sani tarium or temporarily working in an other city, and is separated from him through necessity, should not consider her status as living apart from her husband. But if there is voluntary continuous separation, whether or not granted by court decree, each must take the status of a single person with respect to income, tax.

YORK SCHOOLS CLOSE York, Jan. 31.-As a precautionary measure against a general outbreak of influenza, a number of cases of which have edveloped within the past few (lays, the city schools have sus pended exercises for a week, the pic ture shows have been closed and pub lic gatherings banned.
