Sondergaard, Hoard's Dairyman. where he the year la Midway noises and milling crowds of county fairs, a strunge stable, strange companions, and strange water, contrasted to the quiet, darkened, home stable, and a trusting caretaker, upsets calves digestions and dispositions. Under such unusual conditions it is not uncommon for calves to refuse to drink when they are away from home, and the calf may become gaunt and listless. Such calves show poorly. To overcome the possibility of such a calf-clu- b condition, exhibitors should teach their calves to drink skimmilk. The milk helps the calf to grow and also helps give the calf the finish that only a well-feanimal possesses. In addition to being a good feed, the desire for skimmilk prevents the calf from refusing to drink, for the desire for the milk overcomes the distaste of the strange water. Skimmilk can be made at the fair by adding one pound of dry skimmilk to nine pounds of water. For a week or ten days before the show, the calf should be fed as she is to be fed at the show. This prevents sudden changes which may throw the calf off feed. If possible, take hay to the show. Dry mixed r timothy-clovehay is better for calves that are hauled a considerable distance than is the more luscious green alfalfa hay. from replacements Move to Have Animals Classified by Records The various breed associations are rapidly moving away from the idea that an animal is necessarily superior because it can be registered. Practically all dairy breed associations now have classifications within the breed, based on milk records and inspection for individual excellence. At the last meeting of the Jersey Cattle club of the United States, for instance, it was decided to establish a tested sire list A bull becomes eligible for this list when he has ten tested daughters that have qualified. The tested sire becomes automatically a superior sire when the total number of his tested daughters shall equal or exceed 50 per cent of all daughters registered, four years old or over, and whose average production, figured on a mature basis, shall be 600 pounds butter fat or more. Another important change adopted by the meeting was a comprehensive plan for the inspection and classification of Jersey herds. A herd, at the request of its owner, will be Inspected by a competent judge and classified in one of six different classes. Even with these progressive measures, the Jersey fraternity across the line have not yet advanced as far as a couple of other breed the most economical way of maintaining the number of cows in the la herd. a calf to Teaching drink is all in kaowing how, and having a little patience to do as well as one knows.

A large quantity of food on farms, such as corn and other grains, etc., Is given as the reason for the increase. Bats enn destroy much grain and cause a considerable loss on a farm, lf permitted to thrive unhampered. A well organized fight should be carried on against these pests. The use of poisons, such as red squill, have proven effective. While the cribs are empty this summer, time spent in making Inthem rat proof will be profitable.

Bo low this sign in the window were displayed summer dresses, hosiery and other women's apparel. Th mystery was solved when It was discovered that a meat atore had just moved out and dresa shop had just moved in. msmsmnimmsmmmmssmmet Ml to PROPERTY a letter came to my desk that impressed me. It was written a woman the mother in a typical by American family. Her little home had been saved from foreclosure by a coat of new paint, for which a part of their meager savings had been paid. TODAY Those few gallons of fresh paint had so revived the appearance and enhanced the value of the property that the mortgagee had consented to renew the loan . . . and the little home was saved. I could not help thinking of the thousands of homes and buildings that are shabby and unattractive today due to several years of neglected painting; of the millions of home owners who, because of reduced incomes and enforced economy, have been obliged to sacrifice painting for taxes, interest, assessments, to say nothing of food, clothing, heat and other essentials of comfort and health. You have seen these paint-starve- d houses and buildings, as have I. They are everywhere about you. Perhaps your home is included. Do you understand what they signify? Do you realize what will happen to wood or metal that is literally naked of paint if these houses and buildings face the attack of another season of rain, snow, ice, and frost? Never in the history of our country has the situation been paralleled. Property owners face an added burden of expense amounting to millions of dollars for repairs and replacements next spring. And the crisis, in my opinion, will be reached this coming winter when paint of four, five, and even six years exposure to the weather will be unable to resist the elements when badly weathered wood and metal will be easy prey for rot, rust and decay. Today the big question facing thousands of property owners is plain. It is ,fpaint or pay. Either you must invest a little this fall in new paint or you must take the risk of paying many times the cost of paint to repair the damage done by rot, rust and decay this winter. Even at the sacrifice of other things, have your house or buildings completely repainted now. No investment you can make will pay better dividends. And nothing you can buy will make you and your family feel so uplifted and cheerful. If you cannot arrange to do a complete repainting job now, at least give the badly weathered places a coat or two of protecting paint. Look especially, to the window sills, thresholds, outdoor porches and steps; the joints of porch railings and palings; the bases of pillars; the edges of eaves; the roof; the gutters and down spouts. These are the vital where ice and spots where water lodges frost settle where rot and rust attack first. A few dollars worth of good paint, applied now, will protect these vital spots will tide you over this crucial winter. And it will probably save you a much greater expense for repairs and replacements next spring and summer. Under existing conditions, you may be tempted to buy a cheap paint because of its low price. I hope you will not make this costly mistake. Even on sound lumber, inferior paint is a poor bargain. But on weathered wood, which is very porous, such paint is worse than useless. It gives you a false feeling of security and leaves you without protection. established brands Prices of of paint are now the lowest in fifteen years. Enough good, dependable paint can be purchased for a few dollars to protect all the badly weathered surfaces on your building. well-know- n, Again I repeat, do a complete job this fall if you can. But at least do the vital exposed places before it is too late. President THE SUER WIN WILLIAMS CO.
