this will relieve the cow" of some in

oi pests next, season- ' Beein-to din
the cattle in all the tick-infested sec
tions once. More, can be done to
exterminate the ticEs by regular dip
ping early in the season than ,at any
other time.. It is nothing short of a
disgrace and a crime for any man to
breed ticks when we know how to
get rid of them so easily.
Filature Balls vs. Immature Balls
THIS is the season that most breed-

Before taking this step, one. should
study the characteristics of the vari
ous beef breeds' and determine which
of. these comes nearest fitting his
specific conditions and whatever
breedJsdecidel
that carries himself with pride, that
has a large bold eye, with high head,
.broad chest, short legs, broad," well
covered back, heavy hind quarters,
with: plenty size and well boned. The
same general appearance should be
loolced for in either mature or im
mature bulls. v '
Before buying a calf consider
whether or not he will be .well fed
and not over-worked and thus he
stunted spUhat he will never be: at
his best. Remember that although
the calf can usually be purchased for
less money, at the same time it takes
some grain feeding both summer and
winter and at the same time he can
do only one-third or -one-half the
service the first year -that the aged
bull is capable, of doing. ..' If the
mature bull is selected, veyen though
his environments are. bad, he ; will
always have size, which" is an impor
tant item when you. are ready to re
sell. Do not be afraid of; the bull

hTHE American Shorthorn "Breeders
Association appeals in a substan
tial way to Shorthorn; breeders
everywhere to participate in the
. . j .1-
prize contests at rairs ana snows ,
throughout the country, It is a
large amount of money that has been
set apart ,by ' the Association! for
prizes and it is so ' widely distributed
and applied to so many classes that
Shorthonu breeders everywhere are
encouraged to respgnd. Certainly no
year in the history of the Shorthorn
breed witnessed such a broad expan
sion as the year just closed and all
indications point to a still greater
achievement in the matter of further
ing the popularity of the Shorthorn
during the present year. The in
clination ur all sections to , replenish
the cattle stoclc and obtain a better'
class of seed for the purpose, insures
a growing demand for a good while
to come. ; Apparentlythe day df the
cheap sire has gone by. ;
I have found out that you can make a
great deal more stable manure than you
may think, bytooklnar after it closejy. Clean
ing out your stalls at least every thirty to
forty-five days, you will get nof only more
but a better grade of manure, but' It does not
pay to leave this out In the open barnyard
where It Reaches . out mostly. I go about
my stables dally ' and litter the wet places
and clean them out regularly and find that
by so doing I get two to three times the ma
nure I did when cleaning only once a year.
I have found In this connection that your can
keep the files down to a minimilm by using
sawdust In your stables during fly time and
cleaning out often and letting the old hens
and Yoosters as well as biddies In the .stables
while your stock Is out at work; they will
keep the files down by eating them. A Com

"OU cannot expect
to get all the profit
from your cows unless
you have a separator
that- skims clean.
Why don't you make
up your mind here
andnow to buy
a Primrose or Lily
cream separator? Then
if your ' checks are not
big enough,- you .will
know that the trouble .
- is -with -the-cows,LnotI
with the separator.
The president .of the
IowaFederation of Cow,
Testing' Associations
says that of the machines
in use in his association, and
they are many, the Primrose
skims closest. It leaves less
than one-hundredth of one per cent of the cream in the milk
The lily skims just as close. Neither one wastes any cream.
With prices of everything as high as they are now, to waste
cream is little short of a crime. iV" " 4 " ' ; ; .
Yes, you can buy separators for less money; You can also
pay more. But you cannot buy a closer skimming machine,
" one that runs easier, or one that will skim clean for a longer
time. Do not delay. The longer you put off buying a Primrose
or lily cream separator, the more you lose. Get one of
" these machines, and your: separator troubles will disappear
as if . by magic Drop us a card for catalogues and full
information. .
