P \ BREEDER HELPS ASSOCIATION Nebraska Dairyman Offers to Sell Purebred Sires at Half Price to Promote Quality. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ¥ ment of Agriculture,) Following the meeting of the Ne- braska State Dairymen’s association at Lincoln, Neb., recently, a prominent breeder from that state offered to pro- vide bulls for a bull association at half their value, according to a repre- sentative of the dairy division, United States Department of Agriculture. Ap- preciating the value of the bull asso- ciation in establishing a certain line High-Producing Herd of Purebred Cows. Unusually of breeding, this dairyman told a dalry extension specialist that when | he formed a bull association he could | choose the bulls from his herd, set a | fair price on them, and he (the breed- | er) would cut that price in two. This breeder has a large and un- usually high-producing herd of pure- bred cows, the herd average being more than 18,000 peunds of milk a year. Offers of a similar character have been made by several other breeders in different sections of the United States, says the department specialist, all of which indicates that the value of the association plan as a means of improving the quality of dairy cattle is becoming more general- 1y recognized. When a bull assoclation is formed one dairy breed, usually the one pre- dominating in the locality, Is selected for that association, and purebred bulls of that breed are used to im- prove the herds. As time goes on n number of good purebred and grade herds of the same breed are devel- oped. When one breeder supplies f number of bulls to one association these bulls, generally of similar breed- ing, make it possible to concentrate the blood of certain familles among 250 to 300 cows.

The yellow earth at our back door stretches, a glaring plain, to meet the Jungle, which rolls up a rich green carpet to the “Secret Place Mountain,” where, so runs the legend, a Negrito chieftain hid his favorite wife. There she died, and, at her request, the dell- cately carved comb that held her long hair was buried with her. From this grave, the natives say, grew a tree with leaves like the.fine, soft hair of a woman—the useful and beautiful bamboo tree. Out in the yard the women have | censed their chanting to the beat of their washing paddles, to sit around a chow pot of rice and smoke long, black cigars. Their sphinxdike faces have no illuminating expression, save | when a baby toddles too near the open fire.

CAVE HAS STRANGE PROPERTY Peculiar Conditions in Cavern on Ta- hiti Have Never Been Satisfac- torily Explained. About 27 kilometers from Papeete, Tahlti, is a Jarge opening in the side of a mountain called the Cave of Ma- raa. It is the reputed burlal place of a powerful wizard of old, the spell of whose enchantments still broods over the tatvern., The particular mamifesta- tion which interests passersby is the impossibllity of striking the opposite wall of the cave with a stone, although to the eye the feat seems the easiest of undertnkings. Most newcomers laugh at the legend and start out with an casy throw, only to see the missile | drop in the water apparently but a few feet away. * Then they warm to the work and exert all the force that is in them, and, at last making slings, strive with all thetr might to overcome the power of the old warlock; but to no avail. The stones drop ignominfously in the water as if some unseen hand had caught them in midaiy and cast them down In the center of ‘the cavern.

The first great step with any dairy- man in determining the true measure of his individual cows is taken when he begins to test or deal with his herd | as individuals, and not Jjust as a whole, Then he soon learns that he must own a scale and milk ‘record sheet, and use his mind and his pen- ol to study the individual cow, her feed requirements and her other char- acteristics.
