It is because of occurrences like this that mine dairy farmers look with some suspicion' on scientifie 'breeding of dairy cows, The principle of atavism, which 4 breedhig heel; to some primitive type, is well shown in such eases., This, principle es frequently shown, not only in the breeding of tattle, but in the breeding of all other animals. In such cases the sire and damlhat bred back should never again mate. It misty be that the :fault was not exclusively in either, .but in the combination of blood. The intelligent breeder will see to it that each offshring is sent to the shambles. The experienced 'breeder can usually see before the calf is two weeks old whether it will be suited to dairy pur- peses. The dairy animal will have a thin neck. There is a needier soft- ness in the skin of a good dairy ani- mal that all experiencad animal breed- ers will quickly notice. . It is a fact that a great deal de- pends en the way salves are brought up. The best heifer ealf may welly be spoiled by being fed fattening. food, or by semi -starvation before it is a year old. Both of each procedures are in- jurious to the calf's digestion. If this is ruined in calfhoocl, the cow will be a poor eater, and therefore a poor producer, no matter what the sire and dam may have been. It would ulso seem to go -without saying that a great deal also depends on the way the mature animal is fed. Fine blooded anithals require the best of care and treatment if they are to do their best. If the owner is not able or prepared to give his cows 61 re- quired tresttment, or is too negligent to do .so, his finehblooded cows are cer- tain to sink to a level with, if not below, that of the scrub cows. And so it often occurs that the best bred ani- mals are 'often branded as cheats, only because their owner did not properly treat and sustain them. ' _tee_ How Our Silo Has Paid for Itself. It is to me a great mystery that so many farmers are still without silos. Having been in use for a quarter. of centery, they etre certaWy 'beyond the experimental diage, The' have 'brotight smicates to agrictiltuelsts 1(1 e(7ert/. country, Mob hatmerii who beef) fonrid their unprofitable bave not treed them rightly, ok have made some serious .telstalte in thole eonstruction. Before building or elle we had only ten C',ows; yet, to provide ample for- age for them, winter and ettntmer, good years and had, was somethnes difficult job, Now we have 20 cows, and it 4 easier to provide feed Inc bhem th'aa it Was to preyide for the other ten, Beeides, our silage -fed pews are in better condition, look sleeker, and produce a higher grade of milk. For the last two years every cow has produced ori the average Of 400 pounds of butter per year. •Thie butter, we have ascertained, has; met us ten oents a pound leest produoe . than better coming "Nom cows not fed silage. Comparing figures with one of or neighbors Nem haseno silo, we find that each of our zilws cost us, per year, $18 less to feed than his. We are also able to produce beef $2 cheaper per 100 pounds than he can. Figuring at thie rah:, we came to the conclusion that our silo earned, last year, at least 32e5. Moreover'we saved much grain feed by giving the colts silage, and also the horses, when not working. Indeed, I believe that our oil.) has sexed.ehough to build a new one each year for the last four or five years. Sometimes when the corn crop has been short we have made .good silage from millet, clover, oats, or rye. We have fed this with success even thi winter, but nhostly we feed it during the latter part of -summer, after the corn silage is fed out, In fall, again, we fill the silo with corn, and if this is not enough we refill it later with cornstalks taken from shocks in the field. The stalk, (if soaked with water, can easily be cut, and make good silage. We always try to have a supply of silage for summer, The cattle -need a cool, succulent feed' during got weather, and what is better than corn silage? Souse summers, also, the pas- tures dry up, and then silage comes in handy. Besides, high-priced pas- ture lands do not pay. Since we began ,feeding silage in summer, we have had: only half as much pasture land as formerly, and our cows have milked as they never did before. A piece of land for raising silage crops will pro- duce five or,six times as much feed as will a pasture of equal size, Every farmer having 10 MINS or more needs a silo. Without one it is hard to do a profitable dairy business. A good silo will stand as long as any other building. We built ours seven years ago, and it, is still in gooll con- dition. If the pullets have not been treated for lice it will pay to give thein the blue ointment treatment at oncenOne application witl protect them until late in the spring and it may he only lice that are keening down the egg yield. The pullets that lay first will pro- bably be the best breeders in the speing and it will pay to .itand such birds and use them exclusively in the breeding pens, Even though trap nests are not used the farmer will doubtless be in the poultry house often' enough dating December and January to spot most of the pullets which frequently go to the nests. If the farm flock -ie. to he improved the work must start in the winter with careful selection and management of the pullets. Do not lose eggs during the cola weather by allowing *emote freeze in the .nests. When eggs am worth six or seven cents each it does not hike many of them to pay a farmer very well for his trip through the snow to the poultry house. t. find his den, especially if he has been much trapped. In this case you will very likely find hiie holding forth in some old building, under a stone pile, or around the roots of a tree. When you find his den 'set your trap (No. 135), digging a shallove trench in the ground so that the trap sets level with it, then fasten the chain to a strike and drive it down level with the ground. Too often trappers make the mistake of leaving a stake stick- ing up above the ground. Cover your trap with straw freely mixed with chicken feathers, and stetter a few grains of corn about. You will find this one bf the best sets,„4ar skunks, and one that can be used anywhere. When you catch a skunk, do not muss up the surroundings too much. Skunks often den itieten or more in one hole, and if things are not too much dis- turbed, one set may prove very profit- able. Mice make good bait for skunks. If you can find where a skunk visits a chicken coop, eet a trap alongside of the buileing and eover .11 with chicken feathers. Road cuiverts are a fahor- he prowling place for skunks, and a trap set at either end of one willhikely produce results. e As .anyone who has tried it knows, catching a skunk is only part of the job. Next, and some think most im- portant, comesekilling and skinning. The best way to kill a skunk is to shoot him in the centre ,of the back of the neck with a .22 -calibre rifle, using a short eiretridge. If yoti have no gun, 'break his back with a long pole, which will have the same effect, Lots of people, espeelally boys who skin a sicunk advertiao the feel for days aftetward.

Go the same way in the row when cultivating every time. The idea is to keep crowding it under and cov- ering it.

"rough" is rendered, the best going into a lard compound shortening, and the poorest for soap -making; All of these too ofteet wasted by- products supply us With practically Rural Community Service The one .big lesson we learned from try. The material from which our our war activities was the lesson of farm leadership 'should have been de- veloped has been diverted to the city. If the country is to keep'apace, if we are to bold up an end, we must have leaders. We ,can raise these leaders an our rural environment much better than we can import them fr.= the city; One of the reasons at least why the boys and girls grow up and -leave the farm is because of the lack of a social program. This, at course, is not the only reason, but es one of them. Some more reasons are because they think they can make more money, but the fact that in the richest section of this country the farmer owners have mov- had into town ahd their farms.are man- age,c1 by renters shows that ?peek of the economic reasons, is the fact that rural environment is too lonely. This was not always the ease. There was a time in the history of our country when every farm neighborhood re- garded it as a neighborhood or com- munity responsibility to have a ly- ceum, singing school, spelling match, or other progiam which was an excuse for sociability. The work itself re- garkingeso much hand .labor was an excuse ifor sociability more than it is to -day. Corn huskings, apple pick- ings, harvesting, etc., were all made an occasion of a certain amount of sociability •where everyone "changed work." Now, then, if the community can be brought again to bear the burden and accept the responsibility for a truly social program we will have. made, I believe, a distinct forward step in rural life. Suppose the school he re- garded as the centre of the community and that with the help of agencies available, a committee in the conunun- ity map 'out a year around program to meet the social needs of their com- munity. This program will, of course, vety it different communities, but the eesentlal feature would remain about the same, I believe, We Elhould map out a program that will meet the leisure terne of rural people young end old, if rural people can be said to have leisure time, This program would in- clude some of the following featuree: 1. Incheased recreational 'facilities an the school grounds for boys and .girls. IA small amount of equipment foe volley ball, tennis, basket ball, and i hasehall only would he necessary), I 2.

Cities, villages, and rural communiies fcagot petty strife, jeal- ousies and individual differences in the all -absorbing task of winning the war. If eve should lose the gains thus made and lapse again into our old ways, what a tragedy it would be, and yet it seems that is exactly what certain communities are apt to do. The wdr brought home to us the fact that, as tem statesman put it, "Unless this country can be made a good place for all of us to live in, it will not be a good -place for any of us." The same applies to the community. There are certait vital problems af- ectinghthe community which must be faced and solved by the community if they are solved at all. Otherwise that community will suffer in conse- quence thereof. During war time we thought it was a matter of community concern to see that socks and sweaters were knit in plenty, and that it waa a community matter to subscribe for our quota of War Sweinge Stamps, Victory Bonds, and wdrrelief funds, and that meats, flour and sugar were conseiyed. We have regarded it as a commenity mat- ter that those of our boys who were fortunate enough to come home whole were receivedin a fitting manner by the community. All these things and many more are naturally thought of as matters of community interest. We are coming to see, however, that many of the problems formerly regarded as individual have a community bearing and must be met by the community. This is being evidenced by the fact that in our Inger towns and cities vte are establishing more social centres, open forums, more gymnasiums and more public playgrounds. Those of our cities Whish organized hospitality work /or the soldiers at their gates have bad their eyes opened and tire continuing to 'organize hospitality for their own peeple, This is especially true with those cities engaged in •war camp community service. Called upon by the war and' navy departments to take charge of the soldiers and sailors in the e•anip cities when they were on leave, this organization learned its lesson so well that peace time cemmunitt Service programs are being. inappeth out in reany cities to- day. Let us compare , this example with rural conditions. Our men - try communitieg . 'have been 'to wat, have returned honte and to some extent are forgetting the lesson leaned.

The figures was low 'because the farmers .in the neighborhood had offer. ed to, contribute labor and reateriale. Nevertheless, the raising of $1,000 was a task not to be lightly as- tomplithed by a handful of busy coun- try women in these days of scarcity of help. "It will take a long time to raise $1,000," suggested one of the workers. "Our children would grow up in the time it would take for that money to trickle in from schials andebazaara.
