West Vir ginia has organized many such associa tions. Ritchie county, especially, at tracted wide attention for the reason that the "scrub" bull has been elim inated and the Hereford adopted and developed as the principal breed. More than 1150 "scrub" bulls * have been shipped out of the county during the past three years, and purcbreds have taken their places, eliminating the "scrub" entirely. Many smnll herds have been started a* a result of this movement. Ruyer* are attracted to this county without advertising, nnd they are unable to meet the demands for good breeding and stock cattle. More Associations Needed. "Are there not more communities In every state which would be richer for having n community breeder's asso ciation?" ask the specialists. True there are ninny purebred sires used, but the need of trire Inspiration In stilled Into the beef-cattle business Is apparent, such Inspiration us Is gotten from organization and co-operation, from getting together shoulder to shoulder, nnd from rubbing of elbow*. The United States department of ag riculture or extension department of your state college of agriculture will be glad to hear of any such organiza tions nlrendy perfected or to assist In the organization of others. Is there good reason why communities through out the South should not be noted for Shorthorn, Hereford and Aberdeen- Angus cuttle? Before the South can ever make n big stride ns s beef-cattle renter I' must have community breed ing. The first step lii this direction Is to eliminate the "scrub" sire.

BONDS AND STAMPS Ready to Protect Securities of Small Investors Free or Por Nominal Charge. In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory Honda, Thrift and War Savings Stamps the people of the United States have done more than perform a patriotic duty—they hava invested In the soundest securities In the world, gold obligations of the Unit ed States of America. Hut the safeguarding of these se curities has become a problem for many folk. Only a few persons, rel atively, have either a safe in the house or office, or a safe-deposit box in the vaults of tha bank. Far v>« many patriotic citixens are keeping bonds and stamps about the houae, In the bureau drawer, under the mat tress, or on the shelf. And even if the treasure is thus hidden from thieves, there is the ever present dan ger of Are, and the loaa of the money invested. There may be no further call far the people at large to suheeribe to huge bond issues, but the govern ment needs the dally and weekly sums which come in from the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps for taxes must be kept down. The danger of loss haa deterred aeme peo ple from gettl i/ as many stamps as they might otherwise buy. Hence the problem will be a future question as well as a present one. Stepe have been taken, however, te meet this situation. First, svery bond or stamp certifi cate may be registered with the Treasury Department. Registration means that thg owner's name and the number of his security have been "registered" by the government and that nobody but himaelf can pos sibly get the money which the bond or stamp certificate ealls for. Cer tificates may be registered through the nearest postofflce; bonds through the nearest bank. 1 And the second method for safe guarding has been provided by the banks themaelvea. Every bant—na tional bank or savings bank—and ev ery trust company has, of coarse, ample and secure vaults. For the man who does not feel that he can afford to rent a safe depoait bex to keep Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps In, many of the banks and trust eompaniee have announced their willingness to keep these securities for him In their own vaulta.

He says he acquired his stamps without depriving him self or family. The Investment "just grew" oat of incidental savings. Presently this incidental money became acarce. The war worker and hla family felt the burden of the war time high cost of living, and the anx iety and expense of extraordinary ill nee* at the two children. Then an other blew fell. He awoke one morn ing to find that he had no place to live. His residence had been sold and ha and his family ware asked to va cate. 'He could find no houses for rent within his means, and was con fronted with the necessity of leaving the city or buying a home for his family. He could not buy without making a substantial Initial pay ment, and ready funds were seem ingly beyond reach. Then ho thoaght of his War Sav ings Stamps. He remembered they were redeemable on ten days' notice, with accrued interest.

Few Yeara of Proper Selection Will Give Grower Btraln of Beed That Cannot Be Had From Any Other Source. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Scarcely a day passes that inquiries j are not received relative to the peanut Industry In the South. It is strange, Indeed, that the southern farmers have no long overlooked the real value of the peanut as a part of their crop- ; ping system and that the present high market prices of peanuts were nets essary to awaken the farmers to their opportunity. Nothing has been found that will excel the true Spanish va riety for generaf cultivation on south ern farms. Great difficulty exists, i however, In procuring pure seed. The only way that the farmers of the South can be sure of a high-producing strain of pure Spanish la by growing a seed patch from specially selected seed. Thlrty-slx pounds of clean Spanish peanuts In the shell will plant an acre, and a one-acre seed patch, If properly handled, will produce enough seed to plunt about 80 acres the next year, With this fact before them, It should be a comparatively easy matter for the peanut growers to get on the right basis, so far as the seed supply is concerned. The seed used for plant ing the seed sere should first bo carefully selected in the pod, then shelled by hand, and the shelled peal again carefully gone over, and all that are "off" color or Inferior either to size or shape should be discarded. A few years of proper selection will give the farmer a strain of seed pea nuts for his conditions that cannot be had from any other source. Bj this method, together with proper cul tural practices and crop rotation, th« yield per acre can be greatly in creased. About the only method whereby the farmer can hope to mak« a profit Is by cutting down production costs through Increased yields pel acre. The future of the peanut In dustry In the South Is almost with out limitations, and the farmer* whe get Into the business on the righl basis are going to obtain the highest profits. I. sM prints proved that the expression, "the sick man of Eu rope," persistently applied for years to Turkey, dates hack to the seven teenth century, when John Sobleskl drove back the Turks from the gates of Vienna.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Six breeds of geese have been ad mitted to the American standard of perfection, namely: Toulouse, Emb den, Chinese, African, Wild or Cana dian, nnd Egyptian. In addition to the standard breeds there Is the so called Mongrel goose, which Is a hy brid made by crossing one of these varieties or the common goose with wild geese. Crosses of the varieties of geese, especially of the Toulouse and Embden, are occasionally made, but without any apparent gain. The ■ Touiouso Gander. Toulouse, Embden, Chinese, and Afri can are easily the most popular breeds of geese In this country, the first two greatly leading the other breeds. All economic breeds of geese are kept pri marily for the production of flesh and feathers, and although their eggs are occasionally used for culinary pur poses on the farm there Is no demand for them for food purposes In the mar kets. The Toulouse, the largest of the standard breeds of geese, Is a good layer, producing from 20 to S3 eggs a year, Is docile, grows rapidly, and makes a good market bird. However, Its dark plnfeathers make It a slightly less attractive market goose than the Embden. The Embden, a large, white goose, slightly smaller and with somewhat longer lefcs than the Toulouse, Is only a fair layer and Is usually less pro lific than the Toulouse. This breed has white plnfeatbers, la a rapid grow er, and matures early. The African, a gray goose with • distinct brown shade, about the sIM of the Embden, Is a good layer and makes a good market goose, althongh It has the objectionable dark pin' feathers. It Is a rapid grower and matures early. There are two standard varieties oi Chinese geese, the brown and th« white. Hoth varieties mature early and are said to be prolific layers and rapid growers, but shy and rather diffi cult to handle. The wild goose Is bred to some n- ggI^CASTORIA ■ I For Infants and Children.

The wild gander Is used to cross with either the common or the purebred goose, producing the so-called Mongrel goose. This Mongrel goose Is highly prized as a market goose, but Is sterile and cannot be bred. The Egyptian goose Is a small, brightly-colored goose kept for orna mental purposes and rarely seen In this country. It resembles the wild goose In shape and weighs two pounds less In each class. Distinction of Having Largest Organ!, zatlon In United Btatea Claimed by Wisconsin. (Prepared by the United State* Depart ment of Agriculture.) Wisconsin claims the distinction of having thd largest boys and girls' calf club In the United States. The Winne bago County Calf club, organized by the county agent, already hus 100 members. It Is being backed by the banks, the county superintendent of schools, the county agent, the secretaries of the breeders' associations, the officials of the County Fair association and ±he state leaders of young people's cluos. Any boy or girl can become a member of the club by owning and caring for a pure-bred or hlgh-grnde heifer calf or a pure-bred bull calf. The banks are furnishing credit to any of the Juniors A Good Pet for a Calf Club Member. who need funds with which to pur chase their calves. The new calf club project Is being promoted la conjunction with the pure bred sire campaign. The 10tt calves now being fed by the boys and girls were secured from Winnebago county breeders. DEMAND FOR DAIRY PRODUCE Bureau of Market* Will Furnish Plans for Stimulating Greater Consumption. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The bureau of markets of the de partment of agriculture announces that It is prepared to furnish local organi zations complete plans for campaigns to stimulate the consumption of dairy producta In cities. A campaign fit Se dalla, Mo., wns conducted In February through the co-operation of the cham ber of commerce, the women's division of the council of national defense, the state college of agriculture and other local organizations. Last year cam paigns conducted by the department to encourage the use of dairy producta were held in Boston, Detroit, Des Moines, Minneapolis and St. Paul. At Des Moines after a week's campaign the demand for milk became greater than dealers were able to meet. At another city a dealer who was market ing about 860 pounds of cottage cheese each week Increased his sales to 850 a day, and In other cases much skimmed milk that had been going to waste was converted Into cottage cheese and found a ready market INDIGESTION CAUSES SCOURS Calf Affected Has Been Overfed, Been Given Milk That Was Sour, or Palls Were Dirty. When the calf gets scours It la an Indication that something Is wrong with the feeding. It has either been overfed, been given milk that Is sour or cold, been fed sweet milk ene meal and soar tbe next, or tbe palls or troughs are dirty. Indigestion la the cause of scours, so In treating tbe trouble the first thing to do Is to cor rect the conditions that brought on Indigestion. Then give a dose of cas tor oil In milk and follow with the formalin treatment. This consists In giving one tablespoonful of formalin solution, made by adding one-half ounce of formalin to 15% ounces of water. In each pint of milk fed. Only half the usual amount of milk should be given at a feed for a few days, when the amount can be Increased to normal again. There are other rem edies bat this has been highly reo pmmended. « ■ trade marks nnlc>pyriglit* ohfnlncd or no H H Bcriptlon for rficS SEAECU •"• report ■ I PATENTS BUILD FORTUNES for I ■ you.
