STOCK RAISING IS QUITE PROFITABLE
IHOW THIS WOMANTHELURE0FTHEWEST
He* Produced Many Prize Winner*.
We can get larger return* from our
corn through our cows, eteer* and
hogs, than In any other way. For
three years the writer has been sell-
ing his corn to grade Holstein cows
for a dollar a bushel cash, besides the
fertility returned to the field, says a
writer in the Farm, Stock and Home
The same is true of that which has
been fed to poultry. The remark is
often heard: "The dairy cow is too
much work. 1 don't like to milk, and
I can't get hired men that will do it.”
That is no doubt true where one
tries to do two times as much work
as he ought, and when the dairy is
cared for in a haphazard way—
where men are expected to work hard
In the field and do the milking in a
filthy barn. It is not uncommon to
see barns where the cows and horses
have to sleep on dirty and hard floors
without any bedding, while tons and
tons of straw are every year being
burnt. *
Under such conditions is there any
wonder that our hired men do not
want to milk? In communitiis where
the most of the farmers have good,
clean barns, with cement floors, and
use plenty of bedding, they have little
trouble in getting their men to milk.
But If your conditions outside of
these mentioned are such that you
can't help, and don't like to milk,
there are good opportunities Tor you
in beef or pork raising.
Fit a carload or two of steers every
winter to put onto the market in the
spring, when prices are high. It is no
doubt true that the work with fat
stock is not so particular as that with
the dairy cow. It does not require
such expensive buildings nor so much
help excepting in the winter when it
is easy to get. Owing to the high
prices of beef during the past two
years cows and young calves that
should have grown Into beef have
been rushed onto the market by the
thousands.
Indications are that there will be a
shortage In beef supply, and prices
will be still higher in a few years to
come than they are at present. So
there will be good opportunities for
any one who wants to do something
besides growing grain. There is good
money in stock when it Is cared for In
the right way, and when good stock
is kept. The fact that It pays to keep
a cow that merely pays for her feed
because of the fertility she returns tq
the soil is no reason why we should
not keep a good cow.
A good cow will bring us Just as
much fertilizer, will cost very little
more to keep, will bring the owner a
much larger net return. The same is
true of good beef, and good hogs, and
good poultry. We canuot afford to
waste time and money on poor stock,
for the best is none too profitable.
The buyer of pure bred live stock
must get away from the' idea that
really good registered animals may
be wisely sold for the market price
of beef, pork or mutton. Breeders
complain that a large number of
their inquiries are for $75 bulls or for
$20 cows. Such are plain scrub stock
prices.
Oftentimes the breeder has a scrub
pure bred on hand, and the tempta-
tion to sell is great, so he puts on a
price a little in excess of the stock
yards valuation, and ends up by ship-
ping the animal and mailing the pedi-
gree. The buyer thii...s that because
he is getting a pure bred he is g> illng
a superior animal, when the chances
are that the best of his stuff at home
is better. Naturally, he becomes dis-
satisfied in time, and tells his neigh-
bors. Thus prejudice grows.
Blood lines mean nothing unless ac-
companied by superior individuality.
The breeder has a heavy investment.
His advertising charges, his showing,
the extra care and attention he must
give the high-class Btock make It nec-
essary for him to charge prices which
seem unduly high to many of us; but
which are really low when the value
of their good stock as sires is con-
sidered.
They cannot breed high-class pure-
bred stock merely for fun. The cas-
trating knife should be used more
than It is; but so long as the farmer
asks for pure-breds at an advance of
a few dollars over the cost of grades,
some breeders will continue to Bupply
them, to the detriment of themselves,
the buyer, the breed and of the whole
live stock business. A scrub pure bred
causes more damage than a grade and
$75 mature bulls cannot be anything
more than scrubs.

Utica, Ohio.—“I suffered everything
from a female weakness after baby
came. 1 had numb
spells and was dizzy,
had black spots be-
fore my eyes, my
back ached and I
was so weak I couM
hardly stand up. My
face was yellow,
even my fingernail*

had'displarement. I
took Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable
Compound and now I am stout, well and
healthy. 1 can do all my own work and
can walk to town and back and not get
tired. 1 would not give your Vegetable
Compound for all the reqt of the medi-
cines in the world. I tried doctor’s med-
icines and they did me no good.”—Mrs.
Mary Earlewinc, R.F.D. No.3, Utica,
Ohio.
Another Case.
Nebo. Til.—“I was bothered for ten
years with female troubles and the doc-
tors did not help me. I was so weak and
nervous that I could not do my work
and every month I had to spend a few
days in bed. I read so many letters about
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound curing female troubles that I got
a bottle of it It did me more good than
anything else I ever took and now it has
cured me. 1 feel better than I have
for years Bnd tell everybody what the
Compound has done for me. I believe I
would not be living to-day but for
that”—Mrs. Hettls Creenstkeet,

Changes of Climate.
A scientist who recently investigated
the causes of secular variations in tem-
perature at the earth’s surface thinks
that they are more probably due to
changes in the amount of carbonic
acid in the atmosphere than to varia-
tions in the heat of the sun. If the
amount of carbonic acid that the air
now contains was diminished a little
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, it Is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla-
cial period. On the other hand, an in-
crease of carbonic acid to between two
and three times its present umount
would raise the mean temperature 15
degrees and renew the hot times of
the Eocene epoch.
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
thousands OF SETTLERS.
Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
“The West still calls with impend
tlve voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Bactflc Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear freely expressed not many year*
ago l y those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van-
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break In two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers In the West."
This Is true. While the Immigra-
tion from the United States Is large,
running close to 150,000 a year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, mak-
ing a total of $00,000 per year, there
Is a strong Influx from Eastern Can-
ada It Is not only Into the prairie
provinces that these people go. but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia’s great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou-
sands. who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There Is
still room, and great opportunity In
the West. The work of man’s hands,
even In the cities with their record-
breaking building rush, Is the small-
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before tl^e eye on a Journey
through the country. Nature Is still
supreme, and man Is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to Impose
bis will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commend?
Itself in Western development today
Is the ’’home-making spirit." The
West wtll find happiness In planting
trees and making gardens and build-
ing schools and colleges and universi-
ties. and producing a home environ-
ment so that there will be no disposi-
tion to regard the country as a tem-
porary place of abode In which every-
one Is trying to make 1 i pile prepar-
atory to going back East or becoming
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West is strong. It
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are embowered In trees an(J vocal
with the song of birds.—Advertise-
ment.
The Lesser of Two Evils.
A gentleman from the north was en-
joying the excitement of a bear hunt
down in Mississippi. The hear wae
surrounded in a small cane thicket.
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
of the hunt called to one of the ne-
groes :
"Sam, go In there and get the bear
out."
The negro hesitated for a moment
and then plunged into the cane. A few
moments after the negro, the bear and
the dogs were rolling upon the ground
outside.
After the hunt was over the visitor
Bald to the negro:
"Were you not afraid to go Into that
thicket with that bear?"
“Cap’n," replied the negro. “It wus
jest dis way. 1 nebber had met dat
bar. but 1 wus pussonaliy ’quaiuted
wid old boss, and 1 jes’ naturally tuck
dat b’ar."

SCARCITY OF PURE
BRED STALLIONS
Some of Specimens of Horses
Used for Public Service Are
Remarkably Poor.
The situation abroad is very much
better than In this country. In fact
practically no scrub, grade or noil-
registered stallions, are used for pub-
lic service.
In investigations of this matter car-
ried on by Dr. A. S. Alexander of
Wisconsin It was found that there
were in one state 60 per cent, grade
stallions and only 40 per cent, pure
bred. .
Some of the specimen horses used
for public service are remarkable ex-
hibitions of wretchedly bred, run down
and diseased animals.
The effect of breeding from such
stock is apparent In the very low
grade of horses produced. Water can-
not rise above its level neither can a
grade stallion raise the blood level of
his progeny above that of his own
veins In quality.
The use of Buch sires, therefore,
means a retrogression and a great
damage to the farmers of any state.

EXPERIMENTS IN
STEER FEEDING
Silage Can Be Used as Roughage
Even in Coldest of Winters
—Other Tests Made.
Experiments in steer feeding at the
Pennsylvania Experiment station
showed that in cattle feeding the
profit secured from the by-product ot
feed lots may amount to more than
the direct financial gain on the cattle.
The test shows conclusively th-it
silage can be used as roughage even
in the coldest of winter when fed In
an open shed; that there was a con-
siderable saving of corn by the exclu-
sive use of silage during the first part
of the feeding period and that the
value of feeds utilized in the produc-
tion of beef during the winter of 1911-
12 was much greater than their mar-
ket value.
The results of this and other tests
at the Pennsylvania station Indicate
that beef can be finished profitably in
the state, where due attention Ib
paid to the growth of crops equally
adaptable to the soil and to feeding
purposes.
Her Interest.
“Your mother asked me if 1 smoked
cigarettes. Does she disapprove?"
said the fiance.
"Not at all. She’B saving coupons,"
said the fiancee.

her painting.”
"Ahem! 1 believe most women are

Where He Might Have Been.
One of the incidents of Father Ber-
nard Vaughan's tour in the States was
an encounter with a suffragette. The
haughty lady approached the English
visitor and said: "And where would
you be, pray, but for a woman?"
"Madam," carie the reply, “on a
sultry evening like this 1 should be
eating ice cream under an apple-tree
In the Garden of Eden."
Ups and Downs.
“I think the office force has been
doing some shaking down."
“Yes, it does need a shaking up."
When a man admits that he is on a
fool's errand you need not hesitate to
take his word for it.
MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Testa Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody It Slightly
Color Blind.
The various tests for color blind
ness have come Into practical use In
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dls-
tingulsli colors Is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
Ilie laboratory. But It is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody Is partially color blind—
that is, in certain parts of the field of
vision. The most normal Individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle ot ubout fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but In their places will appear shades
of yellow or blue. This region of the
eyes Is known as the yellow-blue zone.
If the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dls
appeur and only gruy cun be seen.
This region Is known as the zone ot
complete color blindness An inter-
esting theory In regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness Is the low-
est stage, and appears in such ani-
mals us the frog, whose vision Is
known as shadow vision. The blue-
yellow zone is one s’ep higher In the
scale, although not clearly marked
off In the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are. accord-
Ing to this theory, a lack of develop-
ment beyond the early stage of indi-
vidual life. Strand Magazine.
