Put the hay In the stack in a bright green condition.

GRADING IP DAIRY CATTLE An Iowa State College Dairy Hus-t-ndry man, a few years ago, went down into the piney woods section of Arkansas and brought back with them a number of scrub cows. One of which we have pictured in figure. 1. These scrub cows were brought l iif, ;i? Figure 1. ' to the. college to determine the result cf ut-ing such cows in a gradirg-up experiment. They were crossed with representative Holstein, Jersey and .Guernsey and the results were known : the Iowa Grading-up Experiment.. The cow in figure number 1 had at I)wa Siato Oollege, when fed and cared for under the herd conditions tluro. an average production of 153 rounds of fat. Her one-half blood (ir.ughter in figure number 2, f ( ;1 ar.:1. cartd lor under the same conditions, condi-tions, had .had an average production produc-tion of 323 pounds .cf fa'.. An ni-cre.:c ni-cre.:c over her dam of 111 per c-.uu. All of the oue-half blood da -i'Ut-rs in this gradingwp experiment d!i. rot .'how this remarkalile increase. The average increaso was i'jo;.it 0 per fori . Figure 2. In figure number .3 we hi'e k-'Hrred k-'Hrred a three-fourths Guernsey out of the one-lialf blood pict iri n j i inter in-ter -2, Her average production un der the same conditions of feed and care was 436 pounds of fat. An increase in-crease over her scrub dam of 185 percent. Figure 3. We present these pictures to show concretely the possibility of starting with the cows we now have in Do-chesne Do-chesne county and through the use of wellbred dairy sires of building up herds of profitable .production. Dairymen of this county, here is a lesson that can be told over and over again from the dairy experience of dairy communities. Let us profit by it. Let us build up our heruS" -?rtm whata we have, through the nse cf high class purebred dairy sires.

A strong wind from the west was rapidly fanning the Ilames and had the fire ndtbccn discovered when it was a number of business houses might have been wiped out. How the fire started under the building, wblca is unoccupied, unoc-cupied, is not known. No children je-lng around the building dun lg the evening setting off fire crackc-rs and very few people being In town due to celeb rat lions elsewhere, would lead one to. believe that the fire was started by someone intentionally. o CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES LANDING FIELI At the meeting of the city council Monday evening the matter of a landing land-ing field in Myton was taken under consideration. It was brought to their attention that we have several goo!d landing fields in the Myton vicinity. Probably the best point would be at the top of the hill east of the cemetery. This place is flat and consists of several hundred acres of land. It would require very little cleaning up, as there are only a few boulders and its a gravelly voil. It is ideal for a landicg place end there is no doubt If a committee commit-tee of the government comes to the basin looking for a landing f.eld they will select Myton as the idea! and centrally located site. i MOUNTAIN GUIDE KILLS BIG LION NEAR VERNAL While guiding a party cf tourists i:n a hunting trip in the Uintah mountains last wee'k, Vern Cal&wcll .'
