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 an 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 prefitabie dairying it is absolutely necessary that be 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 hogs from the northwest was sold in one of the cen- tral markets fdr.$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 hogs, were fed a variety, including barley, a liberal amount of alfalfa, a little ground wheat, some corn and some sugarbeet sirup. The other herd of hogs was fattened al- most exclusively on corn. Not only did, the northwestern hogs bring a higher price per 100 pounds, but they put on fleshmore rapidly and economically than the others and were In every way more satisfactory. With the present knowledge of alfalfa grow- ing 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 - mid up. If they can have whey 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, ace 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.

Burdock Blood Bitters will do this, and at the same time enable you to partake of all the wholesome food re- quired, without fear of any unpleasant after results. Mr. Henry P.

Having heard of the many cures effected by Burdock Blood Bitters, I decided to give it a trial. I have taken one bottle, and I feel that I am cured at last.

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 make the marketing of farm products easier and more profitable and federal aid to make farm demonstration work more gen- eral 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 demonstrator's 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 lation on the part of congress that will provide generous federal aid in all the states for such work," Farm an Garde POULTRY BREEDING.

Likewise. with the 300 egg hen SPECIMENS OF INTELLIGENT ',omens BREEDING. a fact, there is more reason to sup- pose that the 200 egg commercial hen 1s 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 hen 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 Yowls 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 bis 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 of a barrel. Many of them have been used for a century.
