It is as follows: g “The cow ‘s the foster mother of the human race. From the day o.f the ancient Hindoo to this | fime have 'the thoughts!of men | turned to the kindly, benef'cient | cow as one of the chief sustaining | forces of human life. 1 “No nation or peop'e have be come highly civilized w'thout her. W thout her,-agriculture is mnot permanent or prosperous, people are noet healthy or happy. Where the cow is kept and cared. for, ¢'vil'zation advances, lands grow richer, homes grow better, debts grow fewer. “Starting with neolifhis man in the dim vistas of the far-d'stant past, she has been man’s frlendl and compan’en adown al’ the ages. Her effizy And that of her broth- | er, the ox, were used to adorn the earliest coinage of the world, becanse ‘omni pecuniae pecus fundamentum’—the herd is the foundat'on “of all wea'th; and in such esteem and veneraticn were they held that they were ‘worship ped as symbols of D'ety in the dawning religious consciousness of hnmanity. “The cow has accompanied man in all his migrations and wander ines as he has multiplied and re plenished the earth, nursing her own offspring and his a’so. In, times of famine she has been man’s preserver, his comfort and aid in times of prosperity, the pearer of his burdens and the cula tivator of his fields, the bread winner of the poor and the pride of the well-to-do. “She consumes the vegzotation of the fe'd, mountainside, mead ow and pra'rie, otherwise un ayailing as human food, and in the marvelous laboratory of her digestive structure converts it in to the r.ost essent'al, the most. assimilable, he most nourishing of all foods. “The dairy cow was the tivst afimal necessary to the pioneers in the sett'ement of new regions of the earth; and in the complex civ'lization. of the present day she iy a vital factor in human welfare as a producer of an indisr sngahle and the only perfect food. “Prom the dawn of history ghe has been assoc'ated with the con quering and dom’'nant peoples; she is the most ancient, the most universal, ;and the most used and the most useful of all animals do mesticated by man.” e A B ok Oats [flay Bridge S Short Feed Crop Productién of more on farms is being reccmmended, ity the state.

J 4. C, Lowery, extension agron omist at Auburn, says that each hour spent by farmers in making oats pays more than an hour ent 1 making cotton or corn. This statement is based upon sur veys coxncacted in Georga. Results of experiments conduct ed at Auburn are in favor of planting oats in the fall rather than in the spring. Over a pe riod of many 'years oats planned in the faii have yie'ded twice as mueh as oats planted in the spring. Occasionally, a severe winter kills fall-planted oats. W here oats are planted early and in furrows they usually survive Georgia wirters without severe injury. While county agents are insist ing that farmers plant oats this fall they are also giving informa t.on as to varieties, seils, fertili zers, and. other faftors enterinég into *the profitable’ production of oats. e T — S ~ o Home Conveniences l & Z i Can Be Easily Madei Various labor-saving convenien-l ces for the farm home may be made at small expense by any !L’ody who has a few simple tools 'and the ability to use them. Most, | of these help have the time and energy of the housekeeper or add to her comfort, to the economical | management of her household or to its sanitation. Among the most useful of these home-made conveniences descrii ed in Farm:rs’ Bulletin 927-F are the kitehea cabinet, the fireless cooker, tia dish drainer, the ser ving table or wheel tray, the folding irc.ng board, the iceless 7 “refrigeratur,” the cold box, the fly trap and the cook stove dr.ez or evaporator. These conveniences have been developed in the course of home demonstration werk for farm wo men in different parts of the country and have been found suec dussful. . Attention is called to the ymportance of having the heights of working surfaces suit ed to’ the worker and a method of raising the height of a kitechen table by means of fitted blocks under the legs is suggested, { Labor-saving equipment for 'butter making and cheese maßing .is included a.ud directions for in | stalling a supply of clean® run ning water {1 the farm kitchen. A number of suggestions are made regarding cleaning utensils which save time and make the work eogeir, such as having a bucket with an attached mop wr.nger, having a square board ¢n rollers for moving this bucket - about, using a long-handled duts '~ pan, an oiled floer mop and many wther accessories. The bulletin, which is a revision of an earlier publication, is free upon applica-l tion to the Department of Agri lcu';ture. Washington, D. C. £ e e IR, | 1 . | Tattooing Is Adopted { By Jersey Breeders | To establish a uniform method ! of identification for Jersey cattle -the members of the American ' Jersey Cattle Club this year . adopted a ‘by-law which requres ' that all animals to i-e registered | after Jan. 1, 1929, must be ta . tooed. | " The articles required that all ! animals offered for registration must be plainly tattooed in the ear :n indelible ink with such let ter® and numbers as the owners may select, no two animals (in the same herd) to have the same number. Both ears may be used, and the marks and numbers in the ears must be stated on applica tion for registration,” - Many Jerseys are solid color and in many herds only the owner can defin.tely identify such ani mals, With the tattoo mark reec orded anyone can identify every animal in the herd. 1t takes but a few moments to tattoo an animal and the identify ing mark :s jpermanently fixed in the ear. Needle points form the design of letters or numbers and these points ave held in po sition in the head of the marker which is like a large pair of plier. The needle points are covered with indelia“le ink or paste. The instrument is then set in posit:on and the needles penetrate the ear on the inside carrying the ink well under the surface of the ¢kin. Ink is immediately rubbed into the shight wound made by the néedle points and the job is done. There is practically no bleeding, and the operation is scarcely nmoticed by the animal. | Tt s recommended that the ear to ‘be tattoced be cleaned with alco hol tefore it is punched. This | will remove the wax and other [t‘oreign matter and iasure a clean | curface on which to work. WHEN YOU BUY BREEDING STOCK When you purchase breeding stock one of the first things you shou'd do to protect yourse'f is to get a history of the herd from a health standpoint. As a general thing, the owner will g've you an honest history of h's herd. Under no conditoin should an animal be purchased that is out of condition or that shows evidence of any disease, nor should an ani mal be purchased from a herd ‘n which there is any evidence of disease. In cattle the most com mon diseases that may be found are tuberculos’'s, abortion disease, and the like. In the swine herd you may {'nd hog cho’era, necro tic enteritis, and so forth. It is highly desirable to pur chase a’l breeding cattle subject to s'xty or ninety days’ retest for tuberculosis and to have the sell er supply you w'th a health cer tificate and tuberculosis test on the cattle before you accept them. Then have your veterinarian re test these animals in sixty or n'nety days according to your agreement, If you have no abor t on disease in your herd, require the blood test for abortion before you purchase them and buy them subject to a thirty-day or sixty day retest for abortion disease, Hogs should never be purchas ed unless they have been immun ized by the serum-simultaneous method more than ninety days previous to purchase. DOES THE GOOD PUREBRED SIRE PAY? A cow giving 160 pounds of but terfat a fear won't make you much money. But one making 423 pounds of butterfat in a year will —and a right neat profit at that, Here's the result of four Cross es of purebred bulls on a grade cow. The grade cow made 160 pounds of butterfat in a year. Her dauehter by a purebred bull pro duced 243 pounds, of butterfat in a year. Th's cow’'s daughter from a purebred bull produced 340 pounds. The result of the mnext cross was 385, and another cross 423 pounds of butterfat in a year. Four generations gave a difier ence of from 160 to 423 pounds of butterfat in a year. Does the good puebred sire pay? FAST GROWING ‘ ] PIGS PRODUCE | THE BEST PORK' Some new and definite coneclu- - sions cn how to feed soy beans and other so-called softening feeds to hogs to produce firm in stead of saft pork have been for mulated as a result of the last year’s studies of the soft-pork problem ‘y the Department of Agriculture and 13 state experi ment stations. Factors found to have an im portant bearing on the results of feeding softening feeds and which must be considered in at tempts to produce firm carcasses from such feeds are the weight of the pigs at the beginning of the feeding period, the daily rate of gain, the length of the feeding pericd, and the proportion of hardening to softening feeds used in the ration. | Results have shown that rate of gain is an important factor when rations are fed which ordi-, narily produce carcesses of satis-! factory firmness when the hogs have attained finished weight and condition. Hogs making slow gains in the experiments ustaly produce less satisfactory carcasses than those making rapid gains. . * For example soybeans and cornl hogzed down wul produce firm carcasses in 70 per cent of me* casesa, if the pigs weigh 125 peunds or more when started on! the feed, and make an average | gain of 1 1-2 pounds daily for at ceust 8 weeks. On the other hand, when the daily rate of gain is but 1.4 pounds or loss, firm carcasses will be produced in oniy acout 50 per cent of thel cases. The most rapid gains were made in these tests when minerals were self-fed with the corn and Yeans. In using a self feeder for corn and soybeans to pigs who were on legume pastures, resuits were similar, Pigs with initial weights of 75 pounds or more, fed by this method, were of satisfactory firmness when they gained at least 144 pounds daily. Pigs with initial weights of 50 pounds fed by this method were soft af ter ga.ning only 1.40 pounds a day. Tennessee, Arkansas and Mis sissippl. were -~ among the state experiment stations ccvoperating in these tests. e e I ety | ! DESTROY THE WEED SEEDS Much has been said abuot fight ing weeds. We try to kill them in the spring when the plants are young and then have to fight | them all summer. Now they are ' going to seed and more than ever we should destroy them. | The weeds seem to look out for themselves ‘n the way of produc ing a crop of seed, enough to pro duce a good crop of weeds next year. : They grow on the ditch bank, in the corners, along the fences and the winds and irrigation waters he!ps them out by scattering the seed for the next year’'s crop. ‘ Burning them is possible in some cases, not always.

War on bacillary wh'te diar-! rhea—a destructive disease of! pouitry—is being continued in! Alabama this year by the Poultry Department of the Alabama Poly technic Institute, Auburn, State Department of Ag’culture, Mont gomery, and Alabama Farm Bu reau Poultry Associat‘on, Mont gomery. It is the fourth year of work in Alabama for eradication of this disease and G. A. Trol lope, extension poultryman, Au burn, and secretary of the Ala bama Farm Bureau Poultry Asso ciat on, has announced plans for extending the work. Testing th's season began on July 1 and the goal is to test 40,- 000 birds this year. Applications have been received from poultry men n 38 counties. ‘A poultry man who has his flock tested, eradicates the diseased birds, and does other things required be comes the owner of an accredited flock, The plan is to have 250 accredited flocks and 30 accred ited hatcheries in Alabama. i When Mr. Trollope made his | last report 6,363 birds had been tested this season and only 1.9 percent were found to be reac tors. The first year 8.6 percent of those tested were eactors; the next year the number dropped . downs to 7.1 percent; and the l third year it was only 5.2 percent, Mr. Trollope said that this dis }ease ig fataly only to chicks in | the first few days of life. After | ten days or two weeks o age they iseem to develop sufficient resist ance to the organism that the dis ease is not fatal, Medical treat ment is of l'ttle value, The only control method is elimination of infected birds. Most of those 'n | fected or carriers of the disease can be detected by the agglut na tion test. . «The disease,” said Mr, Trol lope, ‘“is perpetuated in flocks by hered tary transmission from in fected hens to the chicks through infected eggs. In adult stock the disease is rarely of any signifi cance. In most cases the organ jems are loca ized in the ovares of the hen and do not cause any particu ar d sturbance to the hen ercept that in the majority of cases egg production is lessened. In some instances some of the best layers mn the flock are in fected hens. ““Not all but a certain propor tion of the eggs from ‘nfected hens have the disease germs in them and when chicks are hatch ed from tese eggs they will be in fected with bacillary white diar rhea and w°’ll spread the disease to other chicks that were not in fected through hereditary chan nels. When those that were in fected with the disease and yet survived become adult hens they will harbor the organism, in most instances in the ovaries, and re infect the next generation.” Mr. Trollope has invited all poultrymen who are interestad— and who want accredited flocks— to make application for the work. ‘ P.

If the wall is quite soiled, the addition of a little sal soda or washing powder to the compound will make it stronger and the solution can be applied to all the wall area at once. The short time it will stay on the wall will give it a chance to loosen the dirt. Wash off at the end of a few minutes with a clean sponge and a pail of clear water. Another good compound, par ticularly if there is grease in the film, is made by dissolving one ounce of soap flakes in a pint of water and adding, three ounces oi gasoline, Stir the mixture vig orously to mix it thoroughly, then aoply with a brush or sponge.

David Garland' David Garland, one of our good farmers, on the Augusta road, carried on for the county agent th's year, demonstrations in” fert'- lizing cotton and cern. One plot ! of corn facing the Augusta road, below his house, Mr. Garland put 150 pounds of sulphate of ammo nia when the corn was about one foot high. This corn had very I't-| t'e fertilizer under ‘t when plant- ! ed. A check plot right by the side ‘of this corn, with no nitrate added, shows remarkable results from the fert‘lizer. On the plot which he a2dded su'phate of ammon'a, he made 23 3-8 bushels. On the plot where no ammonia was applied, handled in the same way, on just as good iand, he made 12% bush els. \Mr. Garland states that al. though the yield was doublad Dy the sulphate, he feels sure that had not the winds blown his corn down, the number of bushels dif ‘ference wou'd have been consid- erably greater. ¥ ! Another interestng demonsira t‘'on was the application of nilrate to cotton when it was chopped. The cotton did not have cnough nitrate put under it when piagted. On one small plot he put nineteen pounds of nitrate of soda. From this plot he picked 352 pounds seed cotton. On an equal size plot he put, when chobping, 49 pounds of soda, and from th's he picked 572 pounds of cotton. On a third p'ot he put fifty pounds of sulphate of ammonia, and he picked 612 pounds~ of cotton. There were no tests made to show what the results would have been had this nitrate been applied at planting time. | | The outstand’ng fact revealed, however, with both the cotton and corn was that his crop need ed more fertilization, evidently more nitrate. It is useless to spend our labor on a crop without supplying suff'cient food value. Un'ess we supply the food va.ue, we cannot hope to get pay for the labor. | e e e | MICHIGAN’S NEW RANK 4 ANN.

BEEBE, - Ark.—R. H. McCul-' loch, a progressive farmer, living at Stoney Point, four miles west of here, has made a remarkable record with Lankart, a new va r.ety of cotton, this year. Last spring he purchased six (‘ushels of seed for $lB, Planting the seed on 7 1-2 acres of upland seil, Mr. McCulloch produced four and one-half bales, At the Louisiana State Fair he won first prize, consist:ng of $25, for a stalk -of Lankart cotton on which were 62 holls. He has sold 200 bushels of sced to meighboring farmers, ®e ceiving $2 per bushel, ’ The farm light plant is a very reliable piece of = equipment if given the proper care and atten tion, says Mr. Barr . The plant consists essentially of a gasoline engine, an electric generator, a storage battery, and the necessary conections and accessories. From four tot six hours per month for care of the plant should keep it in good running condition. ' Tests bv the U. 8.
