Bulls with bad reputations must be watched closely, and it is the gentle bull, not the vicious one, that most certainly kills his victim, says Prof. H. A. Hopper of the New York Agricultural college nt Ithaca. In spite of the fact that men must know they are no match for a bull, they continue to take unnecessary chances. Very few bulls are kept long enough In service. They must he seven years old before their daughter's records will he In sufficient numbers to Indicate Ills true worth. At least half of the causes given for the hasty removal of bulls could be prevented by providing proper equipment for bnndllng them. To get a normal Increase In the size of herds, service must be dependable. When this is not the case, much time is lost between lactations, and the breeding efficiency of the herd Is low. Every herd sire should have an open yard, strongly fenced, and a sanitary stall, according to Professor Hopper. As it is both costly and dangerous to give mature bulls the necessary exercise on the staff, ninny are trained to work In a tread power. The younger bulls, when turned out together, will furnish exerrise for each other. Young bulls should be trained to behave on a staff and may be safely handled thus for a short time. As they reach maturity, they should he confined to a pen and yard. The use of gates, narrow passages, and doors controlled by ropes or cables allows the caretaker to do all the work about a bull without coming in contact with him. The use of a breeding rack, when properly installed, contributes to safety and good results. The keeping of bulls can easily be made less hazardous. With a safety bull pen, all dangers can be entirely eliminated, said Professor Hopper. d ELMO SCOTT WATSON 1INK of the American flag, as all of us do on June 14. which is Flag day, and we naturally think of the national emblem with its thirteen alternate red and white stripes and its 48 white stars on a field of blue. But this flag, which is variously and affectionately known as Old Glory, the Stars and Stripes and the Star Spangled Banner, Is not the only banner which calls for the respect and loyalty of all Americans. For there are some other which have their American flags place In our national tradition, even though they are not so well known as the Ked, White and Blue." First of all, there is the President's flag, the persona banner of the Chief Executive of the nation. Some day, if you see flying from a short stafT attached to the radiator cap of an automobile, a blue flag, edged with white and yellow silk fringe, bearing tke United States coat of arms in the center, with four white stars in each corner of the flag, you won't need the cheering of the crowds to tell you that the President of the United States Is riding in that car. Or if you see a flag of the same design, with perhaps a slight difference as to the fringe, floating over a house or snapping In the breeze from the bow of a ship, it will bring the same message that the President is in that house or is riding on that ship. But the President Is not the only high official who has Ills own personal flag. If the secretary of war Is making an official visit, there is displayed a red flag, bearing the United Ftates coat of arms (with some minor differences from that shown on the 1resident's flag) and four white stars In the corners. If it's the secretary of the navy, it's a blue flag with a white anchor In the center and the four stars. If It's the secretary of the treasury, you will see another blue flag but the design on it Is even more complicated. Two crossed anchors are surrounded by a ring of thirteen white stars. In front of the Intersection of the anchors Is a shield hearing in the top half a pair of scales (of the balance type) and in the lower half a key. The symbolism of these Isjof course, clear. The secretary of tha treasury holds the key to the strongbox and from the earliest days the balance scales were used In weighing precious metals. The secretary of commerce also has a blue flag with the four white stars but In the center Is a white shield, at the top of which sails a vessel and below a lighthouse casts its beams abroad. The Presidential flag has had an Interesting history, insofar as the question of a proper design for it hns resulted in a series of hented controversies over several points of heraldry involved. Its history has been one long record of changes and restorations until finally in 1010, under President Woodrow Wilson, there evolved the Presidents flag as It is today. Before that time each president had the right to select the design for his own flag and most of them did. But the Presidential flag used by President Wilson has been used by our Chief Executives since that time. A distinctive flag for the President bad its origin in the navy. On April 38, 1805, Oideon Wdls. secretary of the navy, issued a set of naval regulations, prescribing that on the occasion of the visit of the President on board a the American ensign should be displayed at the main. This was the first official order to designate a flag denoting the presence of the President aboard a national ship. A change wsjs made the nrt year when the rectangular Union Jack of dark blue, hearing horizontal rows of white stars, one for ench state, was adopted ns the Presidents flag when on hoard a national vessel. Although this was t lie first distinctive flhg for the President, it was an unfortunate choice. In the navy the Union Jack at the foremast is a signal for pilot. Thus in the case of a ship with only one mast, the display of the Union Jack might mean either the President or the pilot ; in the case of the signal would be confusing; and since, at that time, a Jack at the rigging was a signal of distress, 's three-maste- man-of-wa- two-mast- d PATRIOTIC NEGLIGEESt Tha photograph ahowt, left to right, Elizabeth Vlvial with the secretary of war's flag; Helen Appello with the Coolidge flag; Mary Devenny with Old Glory; Helen Basqui with the Taft flag; and Anna Corcoran with the Roosevelt These Presidential and army flag. flags are all manufactured at the quartermasters depot In Philadelphia. Its use for the President was hardly one complimentary to the highest officer In the land. In 1809, however, the national ensign was again designated as the Presidents flag and it remained thus until 18S2, when William E. Chandler, secretary of the navy, issued an order, which was approved by President Chester Alan Arthur, that the flag of the President of the United States shall consist of a blue ground with the arms of the United States in the center." It was not until 16 years later, however, that the army followed the lead of the navy by adopting a distinctive flag for its commander In chief, and when ft did Its action marked the beginning of a series of controversies which were to last for nearly two decades. Under a general order, Issued March 28, ISOS, from the adjutant generals office by direction of the secretary of war, the Presidents flag for the army was designated as a flag of scarlet bunting with white stars In each of the four corners and in the middle of the field a large blue star, outlined In white and hearing In the center the United States coat of arms. Around this central star were other white stars representing the states of the Union. war During the Spanish-Amerlcathe army Presidential flag was hung upon the wall of the cabinet room in the White House, symbolizing the position of President McKinley as commander In chief of the army and was the first war flag of its kind that had thus ever been used. But for some unknown reason the navy Presidential flag, which would symbolize his position as commander in chief of the navy, was not thus displayed. The army Presidential flag was first exhibited publicly at the peace jubilee celebration In Chicago In 1S99 and again at a similar celebration In Philadelphia. Later both the army and the navy flags were twice hung in the main hallway of the White House during army and navy receptions but the army flag was never hoisted until March 4, 1901. when it flew over the Presidential reviewing stand at the second inauguration of McKinley. The first controversy over the Presidential flag came up In 1809. The War department order of 1808 had definitely directed that the official coat of arms on the central star should be as determined by the State department" and the arms referred to are those shown on the great seal of the United States, which Is in the custody of the Department of State. The shield thereon had always displayed seven red and six white bars, alternately red and white, which was strictly in accordance with the act of congress of June 20, 1782, establishing the great seal. In 1S99 when the equipment officers at New York and Mare Island, where flags for the navy are made, were furnished their flag books for the year, they called attention to the fact that the shield on the President's flag erroneously displayed seven white and six red stripes, Instead of the reverse. It was discovered that the design had been copied from a publication of the State department, entitled The Seal of the United States." The matter was taken up unofficially with the State department and ended with an admission from officials of that department thnt there was no logical reason for the reversal of the colors which was presumed to be the result of an arbitrary heraldic In 1902 the acting secretary license. of the navy Issued a memorandum that the State department certifies that the shield has seven white and six red bars, alternating white and red, and It Is ordered that such shall be the seal on the President's flag." Meanwhile the army continued to make Us flag with the seven red and six white stripes on the shield. In November, 1902, It was decided that n something should be done to reconcile the differences In the design on the shield. A committee from the War department and the Navy department called on President Roosevelt and suggested that since other nations had but one flag for Its chief, it was not consistent for our President to have two. So it was decided to adopt a new flag, closely patterned after the older navy but with several $ modifications. flag,A short time later orders were Issued by the secretaries of the two departments that the colors on the shield, as certified by the State department (seven white and six red bars) be followed and on November 21, 1902, It was officially announced that the controversy between the two departments over the design of the President's flag was at an end. The only other change was to make the eagle white, heavily stitched in black. Despite the agreement, however, the flags used by the two branches of the service were not yet the same. True, both used the same device as to the eagle and the shield, but the navy clung to Its blue field and the army to its red field. It was not until the next administration that decided steps towards uniformity were taken. On June 24, 1912 and again on October 29, 1912, President "Taft issued executive orders that the color of the field of the Presidents flag shall be blue," but the army did not immediately conform and a difficult situation arose at the inaugural ceremonies of President Wilson In March, 1913. The reviewing box in front of the White House was decorated with two Presidents flags, provided by the War department and the Navy department. The Navy departments was blue, but the War departments was red! This revived the old controversy and when again in 1915 there was a double display of colors the matter assumfd a serious aspect. It was pointed out to President Wilson that an agreement should be made and a standard for both flag adopted branches of the sendee. The President called in Lieutenant-Commande- r Byron MeCandless, aide to the secretary of the navy, and requested him to prepare a design for the Presidential standard. The new flag was to consist of a blue field with four white stars In the corners, since the flags of an admiral and of a general bear four stars as a sign of command, and the President is the highest ranking admiral and general. Instead of an exact reproduction of the great seal, President Wilson expressed a desire to have his personal seal, a modification of the great seal used on the President's stationery In the White House, on the flag. This seal differs from the great seal In that the eagles head Is turned to the sinister (Its left) and the stars above the eagle are differently arranged. The new design was prepared by the bureau of construction and repair under the direction of Commander MeCandless and was approved by the President in an executive order dated So at last the conMay 29, 1910. troversy was ended and a President's flag, uniform for both branches of the service, came into being. But though the army-navcontroversy over the President's flag was thus ended, there are those who are not yet satisfied with the President s flag. They point out the fact that the seven white and six red bars on the shield, even though it does have the Indorsement of the State department, is not In conformity with the arrangement of these colors ns prescribed In the act of congress of June 20, 1782, adopting the great seal of the United States, nor as prescribed by the act of congress of April 4. 1818, prescribing alternating red and white stripes in establishing the American ting,. But more serious thnt this, according to heraldry experts, Is the fact that on the President's flag the eagles head is turned towards the sinister, thnt Is, away from the flag pole. It Is one of the ancient rules of heraldry, they say, that no bird or animal ever look away from the staff, for If such a flag is carried Into battle, the head thus turned would make it look as though the bird were i renting from the enemy. On all other flags on which the eagle appears, its lie,ad always faces the staff, regardless of which side of the flag one looks at. y ri-- t Use a paste made of Genuine Lewis Iligh-Te- st .SkFETYFmcrioNToe.

The dairy cow uses salt In proportion to the feed consumed ; in other words, the high producer will need more than the low producer.
