duction and the sale of broilers or
other hinds of fancy poultry so that
there will be a profit of $2 for each
hen kept. This is to be accomplished
by selecting pullets from the best lay-
ing mothers and by breeding up with
full blooded males.
If the cows in a dairy herd are pay-
ing au average of $100 a year, make
an effort to raise it to $200. Perhaps
the quickest way to gain this end is
by discarding all animals that fail to
give five gallons of milk per day for
the greater part of the year. The stock
may be gradually improved by selec-
tion and breeding. It may be possible
also to sell a part of the milk or cream
to private customers who will pay
double the wholesale rate.
It is not necessary that the farmer
should replace all of his grade cows
with high priced, pure bred Holsteins,
Jerseys, Guernseys or Ayrshirea.
However, for successful and profitable
dairying it is absolutely necessary that
he realize the remarkable difference in
productive capacity of the individual
cows in the same herd, though these
cows are cared for by the same man
and are consuming practically the
same amount of feed.
Recently a herd of bogs from the
northwest was sold in one of the cen-
tral markets for •$8.50. per 100 pounds.
A herd of similar size from a so called
corn belt state sold-. in the same mar-
ket on the same day for $7.95. The
northwestern hogswere fed a variety,
including barley, a liberal amount of
alfalfa, a little ground wheat, some
corn and some sugar beet sirup. The
other herd of hogs was fattened al-
most exclusiveiy on corn.
Not only did. the northwestern hogs
bring a higher price per 100 pounds,
but they put on flesh more rapidly and
economically than the others and were
In every way more satisfactory. With
the present knowledge of alfalfa grow -
lug no farmer, even in the strictly
corn states. can find a reasonable ex-
cuse for not having some of this to
feed his hogs.
Hogs need to run at large in a field
where there is forage. This may be
clover, alfalfa, rape or artichokes. In
this way they attain growth and put
on flesh better than they will if pen-
ued up. If they can have wbey or
skimmed milk once a day this will as-
sist the economical production of meat.
The aim must be to bring the hog up
to 200 or 300 pounds at such a mod-
erate cost that there will be a liberal
profit when it is marketed.
With an abundance of hay and corn
there ought to be a good profit in fat-
tening beef animals, few or many, ac-
cording to the size of the farm. It
would appear that with the judicious
selection of feeders, with the careful
handling of the animals while in the
feed lot and with an even break on
other conditions, cattle feeding ought
to be fairly profitable.
Farmers have come to realize the
value of maintaining soil fertility and
are using manure as liberally as pos-'
sible. Land, to be made a source of
continuous profit, must be kept fertile.

BANKERS AID RURAL LIFE
State and Federal Help Urged In This
Direction.
Resolutions providing for changes in
the conditions of rural life in this
country, which it was stated would
decrease the burdens and increase the
opportunities of the farmer and his
family, were adopted at the third an.
nual meeting of the committee of agri-
cultural development and education of
the American Bankers' association.
Vocational training in the public
schools, plans to snake the marketing
of farm p` ducts easier and more
profitable and federal aid to make
farm demonstration work more gen•
eras throughout the country were,
among the things urged.
The resolutions in part follow:
"Our committee, being especially core
cerned with agriculture and instruc-
tion in that line in -the country schools,
realizes that it needs and must have
the largest measure of aid to the end
that the country boys and girls may
be placed on an equal footing with
those in town. Therefore we urge both
state and federal aid in this direction.
"As farm demonstration work
through local or country demonstrators
has proved to be the most practical
and effective means of improving
framing methods and as the govern-
ment has contributed thousands of
dollars toward such work in certain
states and little or nothing in others,
we indorse and earnestly urge legis
-
teflon on the part of congress that will
provide generous federal aid in all
the states for such wort."

pose that the 200 egg commercial hen
Is coming.
This achievement with the hen is of
more significance because it has come
so early in the history of intelligent
poultry breeding. Improvement of. the
dairy cow dates back almost a cen-
tury; improvement of the ben for egg
production is a matter of less than a
generation. The ease with which con-
ditions surrounding the fowl can be
controlled and the rapidity with which
generations may be produced have, of
course, made this quick improvement
possible. Yet we know so little of
the principles of breeding with respect
to fowls'_ that the optimist is justified
in predicting some startling records
for the future. when the real utility
hen is developed.
The poultryman must be faithful to
his task. He needs to stick to a plan
of breeding with the same tenacity
that the early stockmen used• and re-
sults will be just as surely forthcom-
ing. The hen is no more subject to
chance than other live stock.
Persian Bread.
The Persian native bread today is
very little different from that used a
thousand years ago. The Persian oven
is built of smooth masonry work in
the ground and is usually about the
size or a barrel. Many of them have
been used for, a century. The dough is
formed into thin sheets about a foot
hong and two feet wide and slapped
against the side of the oven. It bakes
in a few minutes.

as the effect of good dairy prac-
tice.
For instance, records' show in
one month a seven year old cow
gave 1,430 pounds o$ milk, but ano
Ither seven year old in the same
herd gave only 400 pounds. Again
it is found that 22 cows averaged
1,197 pounds of milk in a ,month,
while another lot of 22averaged on
ly 545 pounds of milk. Cows that
are kept as dairy cows, fed and.
bred for production of •milk and
fat, are proved by their records.
Even from amongst thoseso kept
selection is necessary, otherwise
the herd will .fail off in its aver-
age. But the individual record, so
easily kept, will' point definitely to
those which are /worth keeping.
The value of p; pure, bred dairy
sire is also revealed whencompar-
ing herds, One herd of 14 cows
gave 306 pounds of fat in a month.
In an adjoining •hertl of 14, where
cow testing has been cartiet on
for four years and where/ the. sire
s pure bred, the yield is 556 lbs.
of fat, in other words the income
was seventy five. dollars more for

that one month.
