TPfN A TTfM TR? f PLAN FOR BETTER DAIRYING Joint Ownership of Purebred Sires Enables Herd Improvement at Minimum Expense. Dairymen who would like, to use yurebrod bulls to Improve their herds ?>ut who cannot afford to purchase rach animals should investigate the* id-vantages of a co-operative bull as toclation. These organizations are 'ormed by farmers for the Joint own? ership, use ami exchange of purebred nulls. The purchase price and cost of njilntenance are distributed according >o the numb r of cows owned by each ?:pinner, thereby giving the dairyman an i pporl unity to build up his herd ut a lini.iiiiuni expense. The organl zntlon bum helps its members to mar? ket dairy stock and dairy products, to fight contugions diseases of cattle In? telligently, and In other ways to kssist In improving the dairy industry. The typical co-operative bull asso? ciation is composed of from fifteen to thirty farmers, who Jointly own five bulls. The territory In which these .farmers live is divided Into five ?breeding blocks," one bull being as? signed to each block. As many as fifty or sixty cows may belong to the farm? ers in.each block, and the .bull in the block should be kept on a conveniently located farm. To prevent inbreeding each bull is moved to the next block every two "years. If all the bulls live, and If all are kept unlll each hits made one complete circuit, uo new bulls need to be purchased for ten yours. In this way each member of the association has the use of good purebred bulls for many yours, at a cost of only a SjueT part of the purchase-"price of one good bull?usually less than Is Invested In a more Inferior bill owned by Indl ?vidual dairymen. In a survey conducted by the United States department of agriculture on 1/Jlft farms lu eight districts in Iowa. Minnesota and Massachusetts in which there were no associations, it was found that there were 817 bulls, hav? ing an average value of $711. Had th*: owners of these cheap bulls been prop erly organized the warne Investment would have purchased the necessary balls of an average value of $*28H. Id one association having more than Its members the original cost of good purebred bull* to each member waf only $'28. When questioned regurdinjj the value of co-operative bull aRflOClg' ttons, 150 farmers in Maryland, iVllchi gan ami Minnesota estimated that thf '?sr. . vs.. j ? >y- ,.. i ?? '? Purebred Bull. use of bulls belonging to the orgfmiza tlon increased the value of the off spring in the first generation from 3( to 81) peg cent, with an average of Of per cent. The selection of the hulls for an a? soclation is one of the most iinporiani considerations. A good purebred bul will make rapid and marked Improve ment in the herds, and the assoclatioi interest increase in proportion to th< Improvement obtained. If a poor Qairj hiiil Is used the milk production of tin members' herds is sometimes reduced the Interest Is lessened, ami theSi conditions may lead to the breaking u\ of the associution. ^Success in the op oration of an association depends \ great (leal on the care that is used it Its organization, 1 miry men coutem plating Tunning an association shotik consult the local county u<ent, write t< the state agricultural college or to tin dairy division of the United States de partment of agriculture at Washlngtor for advice uud assistance. The farm eis* bulletin previously mentioned wlli be found of great value along this line particularly the suggestions wlilch art given in connection with the eonstitu tlon and by-laws. ?

War Hat Proved That Sentlble Devo? tion to Sports and Ota mat Wat Time Wall (Ipent, Much was tald before the war In depreciation of the young man- who devoted himself to athletics, remarks the Louisville Courier-Journal. Bit early death waa prophesied by the easy-going slug of a bellow who took his exercise with his right elbow and his recreation at bar and caravanaary. Whenever an athlete died his mus? cular developmeut was set dowu ai the cause of his untimely end. It has been made plain by the war that the athletic youth is the prefer? able youth to tight the enemy. It never was proved that he wni less able than others to f.ght life's battles in the figurative sense of the phrase, par that he died sooner than the round pauuehed, soft armed, flabby-legged man. In the array and in the ntvy athlet? ic sports and games are enrcouraged, promoted, valued. Swimming, tennis, boxing, rowing, football, are regarded as being worth mote than the time that Is devoted to them. Aviators' who are supple and well set up, at well as young and courageous, are the most promising candidates. It bat been found that the ''light hands" of the man who has ridden to bounds art* as valuable In manipulating an air? plane as they are in taking a spirited horse over the hunting fields and over fences. Physical training of tvery tort is a good asset far the young rann, and how mueh more easily the candi? date who is forty or beyond hat It ted himself for military service if*be has kept up since college days the habit of exercise and out-of-door life.
