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

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

conditions may lead to the breaking u\

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.
IN ABE MARTIN'S COUNTRY
Where Wisdom Centers and "the
World Do Move, ' but in Decid.
tdly Leisurely Mannar.
All Brown county seemed to ht wait?
ing for us when late we reached the
"picnic grounds." Abe Martin typei
hung round the roadway to the grove.
Ginger pop, orange cider, les cream
cones were disappearing down warm
and thirsty throats. All through the
grove there were grateful voices talk
In; gently of the it Tint ?* t^e rorn
' crop by the rains. Ooats tod collars
were not ftt numerous as on Fifth tee
nue, but kind hearts and friendly visit?
ing and exchange of confidence! were
vns evident as anywhere in all ths
world. Veterans of '61 ware Having
up their war with this, and one elab?
orately whiskered fanner earnestly
confided to me: "I fought four years
to make good Llncoln'i word, and I
guess our boys today wlU stand by
j Wood row."
Honest, homely, shrewd and wise,
they talked Abe Martin's language:
"It's nice t' live In a little town
where you don't have t' give soniebud
!y a dime to hold your overcoat."
"A kicker is nenrlv allers wrong."
"A sympathizer is a feller that's fer

The Irregular Males.
. Oliver Iselin, m leave In Tuxedo,
was praising the American girls en?
gaged in war work overseas, i
"And they're good girla," he said,
"better girls, I believe, than our coun?
try ever turned out before. *
"They're certainly better than th?
old ladles, male and female, who spy
on them on the pretense of looking
after their morals.
"One of these old ladles, an elderly
New York hrokpr, was talking to a
canteen girl in Paris.
"'Yes,' the girl said, *I adore my
work. The only thing I complain of
is the Irregularity of the malls.'
"The old broker heaved a sigh and
tried to take the girl's hand, hut shr
drew it away.
"*Ah, yes,' he snld. The males were
Irregular, too, In my young days. At
we u*ed to put It?Never trust t fe
male too far nor a male too near.'"
Preserve the Trees.
Probably the most highly prized
tree in the world Is the avocado pear
tree In California, which returns an
annual income of $3,000, and was once
Insured for $30,000. As to trees in
general, Immediate money returns su?
persede. In most minds, sentiment or
natural beauty. A "landscape robbery"
which caused the "robbers" no com?
punctions, was the cutting of a splen?
did yellow poplar which for several
generations had been a landmark
among the Cumberland bills. The for?
est monarch, yielded over 7,000 feet
of first-class lumber, valued at $11
000. There was no one to cry "Wood
man, spare that tree!" whose protest
counted against its destruction. The
countryside has lost a natural beauty
never to he restored; the owner hat
; money In his pocket. At Joyce Kil?
mer wrote: "Only Ood can make t
tree."
