"Scrub and grade cows need to giv* me about 4,000 pounds of milk a year, while my purebreds average over B<00Q pounds." Uniformly Good. A breeder tat Washington state makes this observation: "I find the young of purebred stock are uniformly good, while with scrub stock tine re usually are one or two good ones to eight or ten poor ones." A Montana ranchman says he has increased the weight per fl«**ce on 10,000 sheep from six pounds to eleven and one-half pounds--almost 100 per cent--as a result of the use of purebred sires. Many stockmen emphasize the greater salabillty of purebreds. "Buyera ta tills locality come* to me first." Is a frequent comment.

Beekeepers are dependent on weather conditions to prevent large winter looses, part of which occurs If they do not know when to put their bees in the cellar in the fall, or If the bees are removed from winter quarters too early in the spring. On tbe other hand, it is advantageous to give the %ees the benefit of cleansing flights as soon as possible in the spribg and as late as possible before cold weather sets hi. Close attention if paid to tbe weather forecasts, especially In Old northern states. An instance of the way In which the weather bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture co-operates with beekeepers occurred recently in New York state. There are approximately 15,000 beekeepers there, half of whom winter their bees In cellars. When the weather map Indicated the approach of severe weather, with no lodications for a bee flight In sight, telegrams were sent by the state extension apiculturist to secretaries of 20 county and regional associations. These men in their turn were prepared to telephone key men who would telephone beekeepers In their own localities. In this way most of the beekeepers who winter their bees in cellars went reached.
