The farmer who wishes to reap a large profitable harvest of grain sows pure seed. He does not use all of the seed, even though it be pure. He makes as good a selection as he can find of the seed that is of a pure strain, good type and free from die - ease. He next sifts and culls until the best is secured before he expects to plant, reap and increase his yield. The man who picks his best cows from year to year will be improving his herd and raising the standards as the years go by. The thing that counts Is for every cow in the herd to give More than she takes. To do this the caw has to have the ability to oon- vert ft - 43i food into milk—a tendency that is developed in cows May through long years of careful selec- tion and breeding. The best atitherities on breeding agree that by crossing the common cows with a dairy sire it will improve the production of the offspring to the extent of about fifty pounds of but- terfat per year. With ouch results it will take only a few years to band up a profitable herd. it the output of butterfat on ten cows be increased fifty pounds each per year it will mean a total of 500 pounds and at 80 cents will be an increase in returns 3 $150 without considering the value of the increase in production of milk and the added value of the cows. Fewer cows with a higher preduo- tion, lees work and greater profits, Is a good rule for the farmer with COW, to adopt. Motion Pictures , THE— MOORE OPERA HOUSE Every Saturday Night T. 8e:H.

When the ass is given thee run and take him by the halter, and when good luck knocks at the door let him in and keep him there. --Spanish Proverb. When the belly is empty the body becomes spirit; when it is full the spirit becomes body.— Saadi. We receive but little advan- tage from repeated protestations of gratitude, but they cost them very much from whom we exact them in return.--Goldsmitb. We read far too many things, thus losing time and gaining nothing. We should only read what we admire.—Goethe. They who lie soft and warm in a rich estate seldom come to heat themselves at the altar.— Southey. This I think charity—to love God for himself and our neigh- bor for God, '-Sir Thomas Browne. THE MEADOW LARK. E stimated This Bird Is Worth $10 to 920 • Year to the Farmer. The meadow lark is one of the farmer's best friends. Some are ac- cusing it of eating some seed grain. It may have done so, but grain is not Its principal diet. Insects form its main food. Grasshoppers seem to be Its choice, though it eats most insects that are abundant, as beetles, bugs, caterpillars, flies, etc. In the spring it eats a large number of cutworms. The meadow lark is a ground feeder, so It gets many of the insects that are overlooked by the birds that live in trees. Some grain and weed seeds have been found in their stomachs. but sever any sprouted grain. Wren In the winter the meadow lark feeds largely on insects and weed seed. 'Ilse weed seed Included rag weed, saiartweed and pigeon grass. It has been estimated that a meadow lark is worth $10 to $111 a to tb. farmer on aocouat of the lineeella that it eats. They shaidd be 41111110Simpli and protected. _ — ALFALFA MEAL AND ENSILAGE Less Energy Required by the Animal in Masticating. During recent years considerable alfalfa meal has been manufactured. Choice alfalfa hay is taken and re- duced to a very tine condition. An ad- vantage of this is ease in shipment and when fed on the farm it is fed with less waste and less energy of the animal is required In its mastica- tion and digestion. In the Bast the meal is mixed with other concentratee% such as molasses, the idea being to form a more balanced ration.. Some large alfalfa growers have milts s4 their own and report a considerable saving by grinding. Alfalfa is occasionally used as end. lage and in some places corn and 1. * tette are run in to the silo togetlit Alfalfa is of some value as a soillai crop, but it has only limited use lea this purpose. It is stated that wilted alfalfa does not cause bloat. Notice of Change of Principal Place of Business.
