43,671 new policies were is$ued and
paid for during 1924.
In addition, a large block of profit-
able British and foreign business has
been acquired from a big American

Company's experience has bean• par-

crease in market value of securities
held, amounting to $6,331,377, and the.
profit on sales wherein the increased
value of 'securities' hays been capital-
ized, is reflected the wisdom of the
Company's early policy of investment
in longterm bonds and similar securi-

Possibly the Wiest ever composed is

.EASY TRICKS
False Magic
This is another "trick" that is
not a trick at all but a mere prac-
tical joke.
The trickster seicts the largest
and most powerful spectator and
says to him displaying a stick of
wocd,about as large as a ruler:
"You are strong enough to lift
thisstick with your little finger.
,. Yet, I. can make it so that you will
be ,tired long before you are able to
carry it out of the room.".
That sounds ridiculous -and the
statement is usually challenged.
'The trickster is right, however.
With his penknife he cuts off a
mlcroscbpic bit of wood and asks
the spectator: to carry that out of
the room. The spectator realizes
that If he is to carryit out, a tiny
splinter at a time, he will indeed
be tired long before he succeeds
in •removing the stick aid -he will
make a mental note not to be, so
eager to challenge the trickster's
next statement;. .

other of the series, to a scrapbook.)
Will a Good Pure Bred
Sire Pay?
A bull will sire anywhere from one
hundred to several hundred calves
during his lifetime.
Suppose we place the number of
calves at one hundred, and suppose
the calves by one bull are worth an
ayerage of $500 per head more than
the calves- by another•bull, what would
this mean? •
It would mean that one bull would
be worth to his owner .$5.00,00 more
than • the other bull, except thesmall
difference in•interest on investment.
If the difference in value of the
calves wereS 10.00 per head, the differ-
ence in the value of the bulls would be
$1000.00 and correspondingly greater
for wider differences" in the value of
the calves.
There are cases where steers by a
good bull have brought $50.40 per head
more than steers of the sante age by
inferior or scrub bulls.
These figures should make any man
pause before buying an inferior bull
merely because the price is low.
It is true that merely paying a high
price for a bull does not make him a
good one, and excellent bulls are of-
ten bought at very modest prices; but
it is equally true that really good bulls
are always worth the money paid for
them, while inferior bulls are dear at
any pride.
No man can afford to use a scrub
bull. A good bull at $1,000.00 is cheap-
er than a scrub bull received as a gift,
as the figures given above amply
prove:
}It is also woith noting that steers
by good bulls have '`topped" the open
• market in Canada and the United
States, and still hold several open
market high price records.
Surely the thoughtful farmer will
see to it that the bull he uses in future
must be a good pure bred, and the
result will be Inure beef, more milk,
and more profit.
