"Blue Lights" in Dairying
We have been aceustomed to speak
of the "blue lights" in stock breeding,
meaning thereby how to attain the
highest merit - in the individual's
career. In dairying there are two
ways of obtaining high, potential
value in the young breeding herd.
Of course, there are really throe
ways, hitt only two are practical for
the breeder of small means. The
breeder who has considerable money
to start with often goes into the dairy
cattle business, not because he needs
the money, but because he either wants
a pastime or wants to leave some
monument for himself which is very
enduring and it is true that there is
no more enduring monument than to
establish a superb herd of dairy
animals because with such an estab-
lishment it is a fact that many of
these animals will become a matter of
history and their offspring will march
down through the ages as long as
dairy cattle aro kept, whioh will be as
long as the civilization of man is in
the progressive phase, One of the
quickest ways to attain the blue with
the breeding herd is to buy a bull with
individuality and excellent breeding
that may be placed at the head of the
herd. It has been said by. old breed-
ers who realize the value of quality in
the products they have to sell, that a
man can put as much into a herd head-
er as the combined Value of all his
cows, This advice is given out by so
many good breeders of proven ability
that the young breeder can do no-
thing better than to take the advice
at its face vlue and invest in a bull
whose quality cannot be questioned.
Another way which is some slower
but just as effective, however, is for
two or three breeders to combine and
take the very best cows or heifers
they have, at least two, and send
them to a bull of unquestioned super-
iority for breeding. It is true that
the service fees are sometimes very
high, but this wry of getting extra
fine individuals is much lessexpen-
sive than to try to buy males with
the breeding and individuality that
the young stock will have. Of course,
the idea in sending these cows away
is to secure, if possible, a male that
can be placed at the head of hoth
herds and the sending of two cows Will
in throe times out of every four make
it possible to secure the male, 'I'ltese`
two methods of. securing- extra good
stock to continue operations with are
both of them practical and have, re-
ceived the sanction of a ember of
practical breeders.
There are a good many registered
scrubs In breeding herds all over the
country and I have observed that the
man who keeps only registered stuff
is -not likely to show progress mate-
rially better than the man who keeps
only good grade stuff. It is not en-
ough to keep stuff that is registered,
it is imperative to keep the best of
registered stuff. The surplus animals
produced from a herd kept on this
basis are always in demand while the
surplus animals from a herd -kept on
the basis of registry alone very often
drug and even opiate the market,
Many people say, "If your registered
stuff is all like that, quality grade
stuff is plenty good enough for me
and I would much rather have it. In
this way the market for pedigreed
animals is usually discounted for the
poor registered breeders by the good
grade breeders.
It is necessary sooner or later in
order to have one's efforts crowned
with success to get into the blue by
securing a fine individual to place at
the head of the breeding establish-
ment. Progress secured through in-
troduction of high-class females is
pretty likely to be slow, especially if
the herd header is not in the same
class with the females that are
brought in. Nothing is truer than
that the herd' header is the index to
the value of the herd and this being
true, one of superior quality must be
secured either by outright purchase
or indirectly by sending the cretrm of
the females to a superior bull and de-
pending upon getting a son of this
bull as a herd header. Either one of
the last two schemes are practical but
the last one is the least expensive of
the two and is probably best fitted for
use among small breeders of small
finances, especially if there are two Cr
more living in close proximity to each
other.
IT'S THE SLACKERS WHINE
In a recent article, Margaret De -
Land discusses the absence of fear in
travellers passing through the dan-
ger zone. This she attributes to the
psychological fact that "no single hu-
man mind can experience two emo-
tions at the same time; it can not be
both angry and afraid." Therefore,
the voyagers, being filled with anger
at the Hen have no room in their
minds to fear the submarine.
It is probably the psychological
fact that no two emotions can pos-
sess us at the same time, but I doubt
if the ruling emotion is anger. It
is hardly possible that the boys go-
ing over to the trenches, the girls
going over to the canteens and hos-
pitals, are so intensely angry they are
unconscious of any other emotion.. It
is more probable that the conscious-
ness of doing something, the knowl-
edge that they are activity engaged
in whipping the Hun, the intense in-
terest intheir work so fills their mind
that every other emotion is crowded
out, even anger, as well as fear.
It works out that way on this side.
Haven you noticed that the folks who
are hard at work to help win the wok
are contented and at peace? You
all know that woman who, before the
war was a bundle of nerves and worry.
Her one mission in life seemed to be
to fret and stew and worry over
everything. She was always filled
with apprehension and thinking up

things which might happen to her
family. Her boy enlisted and yen said
right away:
"Well, Mary will just naturally lie
down and die. This will certainly kin
her. She's worried about nothing all
her life and now that something really
has happened it will be the end of
her,"
But did Mary die? Not a bit of it,
She got better right away. You went
over to see her and sympathize with
her and to try to reason her into see-
ing the justice of the war and the op-
portunity for her to help democracy,
and what did you lind?
You found Mary, if she was at
hone, busily knitting socks for her
boy, and she told you with a smile, al-
though it might be a bit quavery, how
proud she was of him and how fine he
looked when he marched away, ever
so much trimmer and handsomer than
any of the other lad's, and what a
glorious thing it was to have a son so
brave. More likely you didn't find
her at home at all. She was_ down
at the Red Cross sewing away on
pajamas and robes or folding gauze
or giving knitting lessons. And her
face wore a calm, contented look, for
the first time since het babyhood.
Her mind is filled at last with real
things, and as it can not experience
two emotions at once, of course the
trifles which once occupied it are wip-
ed out. Life is at last something
more to.her than a round of meals and
crisp-wasiiing and keeping thing's

and noble, a gift to he prized highly

M. E.—Will' you please explain
nerve trouble? low does it affect a
person? Does it affect the heart?
Answer—Nervousness may be an
evidence of diseased organs and tis-
sues; or that the psychic part of the
individual, the will, desires, emotions,
senses, are out of joint and have gone
on strike. -
This term is clear to the heart of
those who are nervous, and few of
them would be willing to give it up for
any other.
With doctors the condition is known
under such terms as nervous excite-
ment, neurasthenia, hysteria and
hypochondria.
It is perhaps best expressed by the
term "nervous excitement."
Nervousness from real disease, or
from an impending event of serious-
ness and great importance, is easily
understood, and it would be a rare
person who did not suffer from ner-
vous excitement under such conditions,
even if he did not cry out and make
a great time about it.
Again, a child with scarlet fever,
with parched mouth and heated body,
with unbalanced mind and uncontroll-
able restlessness, masrhave his ner-
vousness or nervous excitement as a
direct product of disease.
Or a child of high-strung parents
and excitable temperament is denied a
toy, or compelled to go to bed when
things worse and give you a drug
habit, besides.
Asafoetida is not a pleasant smell-
ing drug, but a five grain pill will
often cure an attack of nerves, and I
never heard of its fortning an asafoet-
ida -habit.
Useful, also, are infusions of chamo-
mile; pennyroyal, catnip, and other
herb teas dear to our grandmothers.
It would be well if we went back
to these 'harmless remedies, gathering
and drying herbs as our forebears
did; and substitute them for the whole
array of patent medicines.
Neurasthenia, called by foreigners
the American sickness, is not a dis-
ease at all, strictly speaking, but only
a collection of very uncomfortable
symptoms, though it often leads to
real diseases or may accompany them.
It was first brought to notice by Dr,
George M. Beard in 1860.
It belongs to the intense period of
life, particularly in men, is essential-
ly nerve exhaustion and is thought to
be due to a deficiency of oxygen in the
blood. A neurasthenic is always tired,
always afraid something terrible is

him or makes him dizzy or gives him

from his own misery. Frequently he

The horse's stomach is small, there,
fora if it la to eat but three times
daily, and has a large amount of labor
to perform, his food should be eoneen•
Crated, Tile amount of roughage the
horse ls.eble to take depends largely
upon custom, however, better results
will be secured and the Animal will
'keep healthier and last longer if per,.
milted to eat lightly of roughage and
liberally of grain,
But what grain shall we feed? This
in an important question, and the an-
swer will depend upon circumstances,
If we have oats we may as well feed
them, if we are fortunate enough to
possess corn and have no oats we need,
not buy them to mix with the cora in'
order to make a suitable ration. The
old notion that a horse must have oats
in order to do his hest work must go,
because there aro a number of careful "
experiments which prove that if the
horse is fed either ear cornror oats in
equal quantities there will be practic-'
ally no difference in results.
The ration adapted to the needs of
the horse differs from that required
by the cow. The cow must make
milk from her, ration and to do this
requires a large amount of protein.,
Protein builds the body, and carbohyd
rates furnish heat and energy. The
waste of the body of the horse must be
repaired and some protein is needed,
but the great demand is for food that
will furnish energy. This is where
corn excels. Barley will practically
take the place of corn. Wheat bran
may be given in small quantities with
either of these grains, with good re-
sults.
Bells of Rheims.
Oh, bells of Rheims! How oft you
rung,
In times of peace and golden hours!
In silver dawn your music flung,
Above the world, and lofty towers,
Where bells have rung a thousand
years;
Still, o'er the streams and circling
hills,
Your music swelled—nor ceased with
tears,
Shed for your anguished country's
ills,
You marked each prayer by day—by
night,
And chimed your notes to reach the
heart,
With consolation from your height—"
For silent grief—of hope a part,
The roseate hour of matins' song,
Comes in the world—nor fades
away—
A threnody swells full and strong,
Thro' treasured chimes from an-
cient days.

should be sufficient to last to the des-
tination.
3. Do not overload. Crowding hogs
in a car during warm weather is a
prolific source of mortality.
4. The feeding of corn, because of
its heating effect, before and during
shipment in hot weather should be re-
duced to a minimum. Oats are pre-
ferable where a grain feed is neces-
sary. The maximum maintenance
requirement of hogs in transit for
twenty-four hours is one pound of
grain a hundredweight, or approxim-
ately three bushels of corn to a car.
Do You Guess Or Know?
One man says that one reason many
farriers are not more prosperous is
because they have the habit of guess-
ing about matters of which they
should have positive knowledge. He
says many a farmer "guesses at
everything at the tonnage of his hay
crop, never accurately known unless
hay is sold; at the cost of fencing,
stone picking, plowing, cultivating,
manure spreading, and the amount of -ti _
fertilizer used on given fields; at the
amount of and cost of feed per cow,
and at the weight of milk returned; at
the acreage devoted to certain crops,
and at the expense of time and cash
such crops represent; at the cost of
equipment, repairs, and at the extent
and actual value of stock and tools at
annual periods. To such a farmer's
mind an accurate inventory• of pro-
perty is only useful as preparation
for an auction sale, and to debit and
credit the crops he raises, for pur-
poses of comparison and study, he
considers a waste of time, plus fool-
ishness."
Farming is a business and the only
way to make an assured success in it
is to conduct it on the same business
principles known to be successful in
other lines. One must learn to do
his work "conspicuously well" and
know that he is doing it at a profit.
Flower seeds, particularly annuals,
are cheap and a beautiful flower gar-
den may be had at a trifling cost by
purchasing a few packets of seeds of
annuals and sowing them now in well
prepared bed's in the open ground.
