/G00D OF BULL ASSOCIATIONS Exparience Shows That Organizations pted ta Every Kind of iry Community. e pf those who think 8 n! cannot be formed in y {Alke ‘yours? asks the “Pepartment of Agricul- , probably you are mis- taken, for experience. shows that the bull agsociations “are:.adaptable -to ' Purevred’ Sires Should Be Used in Grading Up Herds, nearly every kind of dairy. community that can be found, The annual report of the dairy division shows that there arenow about 120 bull associations in 80 different states of the Union, and n’mo\nz all classes of communities. - The¢ extension men of-the dairy di- vIsion find that in very many cases, - whenthe idea /ot a bull association is discussed, people 'think that, - while such an organizatio i clearly a good thing' on general prineiples, the con- divions in thejr particular community are not suitgble. ~Many times, In such-| places, it has been fried, aud to the surpris¢é of some It has béen found that the conditions dld not stand in the way at qll. There are many such comniunities, ‘They have men en- gaged in dairying; they have 'scrub or ’otlger‘ inferior bulls which should’ be replaced; and they have the nem& for better Bulls. 3 _ Any communii§ Ip which there are 200 or more cows can better nfford to have~n bull gssociation than it can afford to be without one; and if the ‘people of the community are neighbor- ~ 1y and able to work together in ¢very- day business affairg, they can just as we[l have n strong association with all'its benefits. CARE FOR BREEDING CATTLE Have Both Cows and Herd Bull in Good Physical Condition to Insure Uniform Calf Crop. I it is desirad to have -calves dropped in the fall or early winter months—November—the cows should be bred in February and }lun-h, One ‘. way to insure a uniform’ calf crop is <to have both the breeding cows and herd bull in” good physical condition at this thng, A herd-bull that has been ‘left with the wintering herd to shift for imself is, as a rule, in, poor . condition when the’ breeding secson arrives, and the chances are that he will not be 'a sure, vigorous sive. The vation for the herd bull should eonsist of a libpral nmount of roygh- - — ‘Th Malge this Thanksgiving Din ages, Such as corn sllage, legume finy, stover, or straw, ‘and in most in- stances, unless In_good condition, & small cllowsince of grain. -~The breed- Ing.cows should be healthy and vigor- ous at'fime of calving, otherwise they should ‘receive in addition to a" lb- eral supply of silage, Jegume hay, or’ ather roughage, and a small amoupt of gtain, in ‘order that they maygive, saf: ficient milk to nourish the calves prop- .erly and’ at the same time malntaln their own condition. ' COLOR PREFERRED IN BUTTER \That Which_Is Not Too Pale Is Gen- eraly. Favored—Quality Not - “Always Affected. The . color ‘of ‘zood" butter should be clear-and . éven throughout. Although the shade of the ¢olor does not always affect the guality of the butter, pref- erence Is generally given to that which is not too ‘pale’ In color. When the cream is churned at too high a tem- periture, the buttér comes quickly, blit ‘loses® much of its natural color. Churning at ‘too low a temperature, and consequently: for too lofg a tjme, also destroys the color of the butter produced. Color in butter is often spoiled through overwashing”or over- working it.- Butter is of a paler color from sweet cream than from ripened, as In the former case there is more buttermilk .in” the finished product. FOR CLEANING MILK BOTTLES Cold or Lul rm Watér Prevents Hardening and smky.g of Alby- men and Caaein. When milk bottles-are allowed to stand, the casein hardéns on them and 1t Is almost as difficult to remove as when it is burned on by the use of hot water. If it Is necessary to let your milk botties stand for any length of time, it is best tv pour cold, or lnke- warm water into-them, whicli will pre- vent 'the hardening and sticking of the afbumen ‘and casein. Then, when It be-| comes time to washi them,’ Inkewa*B water canibe uséd followed by hot water, boillng water or live steam. By this' method, the bottles will be elean, and all bacteria Wil be Villed by the hot water.

Russets, Interesting P A discovery that throws light on prehistoric times has been made in central ‘France. In the cave of the “Three Brothers,”. at Montesquieu, a wali painting, made. in elemental col- ors of black and yellow, has been found by savants., It is apparently 15,000 years old. It represents a man, walking to the left, naked and. be-. daubed with stripes. His body is lean- ing' forward, with his. arms in front, and hands joined. On his head is a sort of mask represemting a stag, and a horse’s tail is bound on his loins, Professor Begoeup believés it repre- sents ‘a primitive sorcerer in the ex- -ercise of his mysteries, and that the cavke in question was a prehistoric wizard's dén. ¥ ! % 1t is conjectured the cave was wall- “ed up-with jts-occupants during a ¥ol- ‘cg:lc erdption countless thousands of years ago. | " -, ———— Whers We Get Pineapples. , Singapore was formerly the chief source of the world's supply of pine- apples, but our fresh frults now come mainly from the West Indies—espe- ciplly from Cuba, Porto Rico and the Bahamas—and our suppl§ of canned fruit from Hawall, The first attempt to grow the pineapple ‘in the United’ States was made at St. Augustine in 1850, Florida, howeyer, can never ~'| hope' to compete with her more mv\ored riyals fn this fndustry. -~ _ ‘Almost Paraaisg on Earth.

In- cisgd in the-caves of Ellora are fig. ures of anglent Hindu aerlal machines, tiomil books of thie Brahmans, partica- larly the Ramayana and Mahabha- ratta, to the use of “flying carriages” in the esrliest period of Indian' his- tory. The Ramayana (compiled about 500 B. C.) informs us that Rawun, a King of Ceylon, used to fly over his oppo- nents' arwies, “and not Infrequently caused them severe loss;” while after the defeat and death of that monarch at the asnds of the Brahmans his “fly- ing carriage” became the property of the Rimchanda, the Hindu-chief, who flew in‘it to his capital at Ajjndhia. In.the Sanskrit classic one comes {ACross-numerous geronautical terms. Among these are Vaman-yanu, meany ing: To_propel a fiying carriage. Va- man-Chirya, meaning: To fly in a fly- ing carriage; Vaman-Perbhoot, mean- ing: A succession of flying carriages; and Vaman-Arj, mecning: One who works a flying cdrriage (an aeronaut). “Such phrases are very frequently met with in the Hindu eplc writings,” says’ the writer. “It is generally ad- mitted that, when a language is in process fof formation, new words and terms are. coined as the necessity the science of aviation was conceived | and there £re references in the tradi-~ fore, to-assert that; if fiying m;eh.fi:es/ had not existed in anclent India, such phrases could surely never have come into common use?
