It is some considerable degree of satisfaction to us thnt breeders and dairy farmers recognize more and more the value of dairy herd Improvement associations for securing better sires. Breeders who have advanced their herds in production through keeping records and systematic culling do not desire to select a bull that many decrease the production of the herd. This leads them to seek ways and means to prove the bulls before used extensively in their herds. In Iowa we find that the herd improvement association is attempting to prove 1,374 bulls. This activity is named the better sire contest," and 64 associations have entered. It has caused three or four farmers to own a bull together, to build safety bull pens, and provide paddocks where the bulls can exercise so they may be kept in good health. At the proper time awards based on pedigree, type, records of daughters over dams, will be given. This kind of work will help to save the good bull which, up to now, too often has been sent to the butcher before his value was known. Further, If carried out In the proper way It will ultimately eliminate from our breeding cattle the low producing blood and establish characters that will breed true for high production and good type.

It is as natural for some hens to lay large eggs as it Is for some cows to give a heavy flow of milk. It Is Important to select eggs of the desired size when saving for incubation, because the size of egg laid, to some extent, is inherited by the offspring. However, it is possible to Influence the size of eggs to a con- with the Utah state road three projects. OGDEN, UT.

A ration of grain alone or even with milk will probably not give best results so far as egg size Is concerned. not less A balanced ration carrying than 3 per cent of bone meal and possibly 1 or 2 per cent calcium carbonate in some form, like crushed limestone or cnlcite, is considered desirable for best eggs.

Forty men and 30 teams recently began work west from the state highway to the West Point store.

Winfield Scott was nicknamed Old Fuss and Feathers because of his strict military dis- cipline and his fondness for sonal display. One of the imperative Deeds of the poultry Industry Is to Increase the consumption of eggs, said Reese Ricks of the International Baby Chick association, in addressing the American at ManhatInstitute of tan, Kan. Other foods are giving eggs a battle for a place on the breakfast table, and according to Mr. Hicks, this Is what can be done about it The first step toward increasing egg consumption is for producers to supply high quality eggs. The second step is in standardizing the product so that the public will know what It Is buying. The third step is for cooperatives to join hands with other agencies in the poultry Industry to educate the public as to the value of eggs. Nebraska Farmer.

It has been shown that rays are a powerful factor in increasing egg production, hatchability and fertility, as well as in maintaining healthful conditions. Ultra-violrays promote bone and body growth, and building vitamin D. During the winter months, when poultry is confined, ordinary glass and soiled cloth curtains bar them out and some means must be employed to make them available. You need good housing and good management to get best results. Published data by such representative bodies as Wisconsin experiment station, University of Arkansas; Ohio experiment station and others have t shown the effect of rays Records at months. the winter during contests (notably the contest) also give practical proof of the value of rays.

Not only is size lost by this practice but ability to produce milk as well. The heavier the breed the more is the time required for development before the animal is bred. Holsteins, for instance, may be bred at the age of eighteen months depending on to twenty-ontheir development. Ayrshires at eighteen to twenty months and Jerseys at fifteen to seventeen months. This Is a general rule. The best breeders may prefer to hold their heifers a little longer. One of the greatest Ayrshire breeders once said that the best heifers lie ever owned were not bred till twenty-on- e months, and he considered this quite early enough. In altogether too many cases the lighter breeds come in at twenty months and the heavier breeds at twenty-fou- r months. Lets get away from it, folks.

The potato crop harvest in Idaho is estimated at 24.700.000 bushels compared with 26- 910.000 bushels for last year.

Land can' be made rich in the plowed soil by the addition of manure and green Immature clovers plowed under, or' by plowing under any of the peas and beans; but land can be made rich with manure and these crops, only as deep as they are plowed under. When the surface soil is made rich, the roots of plants form largely In the plowed or surface soil and roots are shallow and weak. When roots are shallow and weak the crops are likely to suffer from drought when the surface soil becomes dry. and the crop Is reduced in size and quality, because full maturity Is not reached. Legume crops grown and removed from the land are likely to leave the soil poorer than before they were grown, except for a slight temporary stimulation.
