Age of Breeding Heifer
Is Problem for Farmer
It Is said that If you leave a heifer
too long before breeding, that she will
never be ns good a producer of milk
as she would have been. She will
have formed the habit, It Is claimed,
of using her surplus feed and energy
towards the production of body fat.
It will take several years to overcome
the habit and the necessary loss Is
considerable.
On the other hand If the heifer, or
any other animal. Is bred too young
trouble of various sorts Is liable to
follow. The growth of the animal
way be stopped, prematurely, leaving
an undersized individual, or the actual
breeding capacity or fecundity may
be affected.
If, liowever, breeding Is not com-
menced so early as to be unsafe, it Is
the more profitable method. It will
reduce the cost of maintenance, ow-
ing to the shorter length of time the
animal need be kept, non-productlvely.
In all classes of stock the same prob-
lem exists.
There Is a real question In the
minds of breeders as to whether It Is
ever profitable to breed sows to far-
row before they are twelve months
old. to breed mares to foal at three
years of age, to breed ewes to lamb
at so young an age as thirteen to four-
teen months of age. The breeder has
observed that sometimes animals bred
at ages so young as those named will
suffer In their development or the off-
spring may not be normal. On the
other hand, If breeding operations can
be begun at these ages the breeding
life of the animals will be prolonged,
the number of offspring from each
female will be increased, and, other
things being equal, the profitableness
of breeding operations will be greater.
What evils are likely to follow such
early breeding practice? It is appar-
ent that if evils do follow they are to
be observed chiefly in one of the fol-
lowing: 1. the growth of the young
dam may be retarded and her ultimate
size diminished. 2. The vigor and thrift
of the offspring may be below that of
the offspring of more mature animals.
8. A possible decrease In the size of
the race or breed. 4. Loss of fecundity
and danger to the dam at time of giv-
ing birth.
All domestic animals are, of course,
bred before they have attained full
maturity. They are still growing.
They are rarely bred at the beginning
of puberty since under average farm
conditions the breeder has discovered
that such early matings are neither
safe nor profitable. There Is reason
to believe that there Is a right and
wrong age at which to first breed, but
no definite rules seem to be available

Selecting Herd Bull to
Improve Weakest Points
In the selection of a herd bull, the
chief factors to be considered are the
kinds of families In the herd, and
the size, character, natural fleshing,
quality, and evenness of conformation
of the bull, according to Dr. C. W.
McCampbell, head of the animal hus-
bandry department, Kansas Stats
Agricultural college.
"The study of the females of the
herd should receive the most careful
consideration,'’ Doctor McCampbell
added. "By a careful study of the
females In the herd, a bull can be se-
lected that will Improve the weakest
points In the herd, as well as add to
Its general Improvement
“Since there Is a constant tendency
for animals to revert to their smaller
ancestry, one of the most economical
means of maintaining a profitable size
In our market cattle Is by the use of
big, rugged bulls.
“One of the most Important con-
siderations Is character, us it is an
evidence of an ability to reproduce
the good qualities which the bull him-
self possesses. It Is Indicated by evi-
dence of masculinity especially In the
bead and neck of a bull and by the
vigor and style which he manifests.
“As meat Is the ultimate purpose
of cattle production, the amount of
meat an animal carries, or the natural
fleshing of the bull, should receive
very close consideration.
"Quality Is of value because of the
fact that animals possessing It will
require less feed to produce a given
amount of gain and sell for higher
prices when marketed than animals
that do not possess quality. It Is In-
dicated by a soft coat of hair, a soft
pliable hide, and general smoothness
of conformation.
“The most profitable type of animal
for the feed lot Is one with an even
ness of conformation, straight lines
broad back, deep middle, square ends
and closeness to the ground, and tt
produce this profitable kind of <
it Is qnlte essential that a bull qf
Car type be selected."

DAINTY DESSERT8
A simple dessert which requires no
cooking and is easy to prepare. Is the
one which appeals to us
who are busy plunnlng
menus.
Arabian Ambrosia.—
This sounds exotic
enough to be good enough
for company. Measure
two cupfuls of choice
dates, wipe them care-
fully and remove the pits.
Cut the dates Into quart-
ers and combine with
one cupful of walnut meats coarsely
chopped; add one tablespoonful of
lemon Juice. Arrange In sherbet
glasses and top with a spoonful of
whipped cream, or marshmallow
cream.
Short Sponge Method. — Where
compressed yeast Is available this Is
recommended: Take one quart of
lukewarm liquid, which may be
water, potato water milk, whey or a
mixture of any two; one compreaaed
yeast cake, two tablespoonfuls of
shortening, one tablespoonful each of
salt and sugar, three quarts of flour
sifted. Blend the yeast with a little of
the lukewarm liquid, add the salt
sugar and one and one-half quarts
of the flour. Beat well In a bread-
mixer or by hand and set to rise In a
warm place—about eighty to eighty-
five degrees la best. Avoid drafts or
changes In the temperature. When the
sponge Is so light that It falls at the
lightest touch, add the remainder of
the flour and kneed thoroughly, greas-
ing the hands to keep the douch
from sucking to them. When using
the bread-mixer the dough Is kneaded
in the mixer. Let rise again a little
more than Its bulk, then knead, make
Into loaves and when double or more
In bulk bake In a hot oven at first,
then lower the heat to finish. Be
sure that the bread Is well baked.
Milk Toast—Toast the bread a deli-
cate brown. Butler and place In a
covered dish. To two tablespoonfuls
of butter add one tablespoonful of
flour, cook until blended, then add a
pint of milk with a bouillon cube.
Pour over the toast when the cube Is
dissolved.
Walnut Maple Ice Cream.—Scald
two and one-half cupfuls of milk, pour
over three well-beaten eggs and one-
third of a cupful of sugar, one cup-
ful of maple sirup and cook until the
custard coats the spoon. Strain and
cool Beat one cupful of cream until
thick, add It to the custard with one-
half cupful of chopped walnuts. Freeze
as usual.
CHATS WITH BROWNIE
Billie Brownie had had a number
of Interesting chats with many ani-
mals and birds of
late, and the; had
told him a good
deal aoout them-
selves.
"Of course," Bil-
lie Brownie had
Bald to himself, “I
can see that the
animals are all
nice to look at,
and that tjjey
have most won-
derful ways, but I
wonder if they
wouldn't tell me
more If I went
about to visit
them.”
So Billie Brown-
ie had gone and
“The Penguin
Told Me."
he had seen many of the animals and
birds, as I've said, and he was plan-
ning to tell the Brownies about these
chats.
“You see," Billie Brownie said,
when all the Brownies were gathered
together, "I knew that so many of the
birds and animals were of the same
colors as the places where they made
their homes and that they were thus so
as to be safe and not seen.
“I knew that they had costumes
which were of a greut deal of protec-
tion to them.
"But I wanted to hear more, so I
talked to a good many.
"There were lectures about the ani-
mals, too. Perhaps they would tell
me of these, also. I thought
“And they told me a great deal.
Yes, I have had some lnteresilng chats
of late.
"I talked to His Grace, the Swan.
He told me that they had partially
webbed feet, which were of a great
deal of help to them In swimming.
"The Penguin told me that their
wings made useful paddles, when they
were going about traveling.
“I talked to a fine sea turtle who
told me that he had front arms (or
he said I could call them something
else If I thought of a better name for
them) which were very useful to him
In swimming.
“These had bones which were flat
and which were covered by skin and
which served as the finest kind of
paddles and were wonderfully fine
when he wanted to swim as be had
told me.
"Solid and flat bones made nice
paddles he explained!
“I had a chat with the sea-otter who
told me that his hind-feet helped him
to Jump when he was on land, for he
said:
" ‘As yon can guess by my name, I
am not much on the land, but I am a
very fine swimmer.
" ‘A very fine swimmer, indeed.'
“Old Mr. Beaver was one of the
most Interesting I met.
“He said: ‘Billie Brownie, I am glad
to tell you anything you want to
know. It Is summer time now and I
am off on a holiday, visiting my
friends and so forth.
“ ‘It Is not working time. What Is
tt you would like to have me tell you?*
“ ‘Something of yourself,’ I asked
him. ‘J have been hearing of how use-
ful various animals and other crea-
tures found their legs and arms and
that they were made so they would
be useful.
“‘I have thought It was wonderful
the way they all were of such assist-
ance—like useful
LAW'*,
tools or like hav-
ing private auto-
mobiles to help
them about.'
“Mr. Beaver
laughed.
‘ ‘Well, If those
are the things
you’ve been find-
ing out I’m a good
one to come to for
I have two kinds
of limbs.
“ ‘My front ones
are splendid for
taking hold of
things and for get-
ting me about,
while my back
ones are splendid
for swimming.
“ 'Yon see, my toes are longer and
stronger in my back legs than In my
front ones and they are covered with
skin which makes them a wonderful
help to me when I swim—but not
much when I walk. It Is because of
them that I’m not so very graceful
on my feet.
“'But no matter. One can't have
everything.’
"Sncb were the chats I had on my
Uat trip," Billie Brownie ended.
“One of the Most
Interesting.”
