TRUST NO BULL, ¥0t- Advises hoppeir Handle Animal Firmly and Keep Him Subdued. - Any effort to make a pet of a bull Is bound to be followed by trouble, says Pro£. H. A. Hopper of the New York State College of Agriculture. Confidence in bulls Is always misplaced; not one is sate. According to Professor Hopper the young bull should be (irmly handled from calfhood and should be taught to recognize man as his master. He should be halter broken und when about one year old a strong ting should be inserted in his noS^. By keeping him in a well-built stall and using only strong, properly titted ties he can be prevented from learning his tremendous strength. All bulls more than a year old should be regarded with suspicion and taught to know their place. The horns of a bull may be remove^ at an early age or late If desired! With the young calf the use of caustic potash before the horns have started growing is the most humane method to follow. Some stockmen prefer to delay the removal until the bull has reached maturity, when the ordeal of removal and the loss of the horns will tend to "take the conceit out of him." While the dehorued bull is still dangerous, much would be gained If all bulls were dehorned early in life. With proper arrangement*: of stall and yard, a dehorned bull handled b.v a stuff attached to a ring in his nose should cause no trouble. However, much will depend on his early train ing and the courage of- jiis caretaker. Those who wish to know more about the feeding and care of the dairy bull may obtain a free bulletin on the subject by writing to the pub lications office in Roberts hall.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE for COUNTY ftERK My 14 years experience as Chief Deputy County Clerk is respectfully submitted for consideration >f the voters in making their selection for this important office. Theodore Hamer Netr York.--Indian survivors of Coster's battle on the Lfttle Big Horn have been found among a band of Wapeton Sioux in central Saskatchewan by an expedition from the Cambridge university museum and the British museum. The expedition, led by an American, Donald A. Cadzow, has ftst returned to civilization after traveling thousands of miles to study scattered tribes of Canadian Indians whose old native culture is fast vanishing. Cadzow has been accompanied by Robert Rymill of England and John Rjmlll of South Australia. Moved to Canada. The band containing the Custer fight survivors moved to Canada ishortly after the battle, Cadzow said. The group fought its way northward te good hunting country on the north shore of the Saskatchewan river and there it settled. The old chief, Four Stars, is still ailve and they all call Americans Xnie-moki-men," or "Long Knives,** after the name long ago given to American cavalrymen who carried sabers. In -northeast Saskatchewan the expedition found an untamed tribe of Salteaux Indians, led by a blind old chief named Nippy, »nd independently hating everything that suggests the white man's America. •These Indians live as their ancestors did a hundred years ago, hunting inoose, deer and fish," Mr. Cadzow said. "Repeated efforts by the government to keep these long-haired pagans on a reservation have failed. They refuse to accept treaty money offered to them each year by the Indian department and missionaries sent to them by various faiths have given up all hope of converting them because It is impossible to work with a roving band of hunters who refuse even to talk with a white man." » Preserve Ancient Rites. Many of the ancient secret societies still function among the tribes, the expedition found. The Piegan Indians of Alberta hold their annual sun dance, but the torture of warriors by placing sharpened sticks "through the flesh of their breasts Is omitted because It is no longer necessary to make warriors. "The weird throb of the tom-tom played by, medicine men and herb doctors still can be heard on the reserves/* Cadzow stated. "But it is only a matter of a few years before the white man's civilization will wipe out the lastvestlge.oftnit Indian culture." Spring Freshening Co#T Have Little Aavanifige Although spring freshening cow* have the advantage of starting their milking year un«' r ideal feed conditions provided by an abundance of luxuriant, nutritious pasture, the cheapest and best of all feeds, such a favorable environment Is short lived. A few weeks later the heat of summer is upon them. Good pasture is less abundant. Pressing work in the field does not permit the farmer to give his cows the attention they require. Flies add to the discomfort of the cows, their milkers and the calves. As a result, cows go down in production and stay down. No methods of feeding have yet been found which will bring them back to good production after they have once been permitted to go down. Furthermore, butterfat prices are generally lower in spring and summer than at any other time of the year. Before Breeding, Heifers Should Be Carefully Fed {Jp to the time that heifers are bred dairy animals should not be overfed. It Is well to keep them in good growing condition, but too much fat is to be avoided. Excessive fitting at this time is apt to stunt growth by rushing maturity and producing a "pony" type of animal. After the heifer is bred, however, feeding can be much more liberal. There are then extra demands on the heifer and it is desirable that she have a good store of nutrients against the first lactation period. If these heifers are on really good pasture they are not suffering, although a little grain now will prove profitable later. Fall freshening heifers that are on poor pasture should be fed well, green feed if possible and certainly grain--three to Ave pounds per head daily. Underfeeding Wipes Out Profits in Dairy Herd Underfeeding, or feeding of an incomplete ration. Weeps down or wipes out profits in many a dairy herd. One reader goes so far as to say that dairy cows are now better bred than fed; that starved purebreds are no better than starved scrubs. There Is still room for improvement along both lines. The point Is, every dairy cow should be fed a complete ration, and as much of it as she will turn into profit It Is the wrong way to fed as little as the cow will get along on and still show s profit or just break even. Cow testing records prove that liberal feeding is not an expense, bat an investment. FINDS STATE IMS wanuromsB) Banfcers Body Sees Less Pofftfes in Banking Departments With Better Facilities in the Hands of the Responsible Officials. A survey of state banking depart* ments by the State Bank Division, American Bankers Association, discloses a distinct tendency the past five years to take bank supervision out of politics, to Increase the discretionary powers of bank commissioners, to lengthen their terms of office, to supply them with adequate forces of qualified examiners and to relieve banking departments of duties foreign to banking, says a recent statement issued by the association. "We have consistently urged that the office of bank commissioner be as free from partisan politics as the Judiciary Itself and that it be divorced from all other functions of state government," the statement says. "Further, that his term of office be made more secure and lasting, with sufficient salary and power granted to attract and retain the services of men of outstanding executive ability, courage, resourcefulness and successful banking experience. "Five years ago the 8rst survey of state banking departments by the division demonstrated the heed for Improvements, On the baste of data now in hand it Is evident that, through the revision of statutes in many states, rapid steps are being taken In the1 right direction. One by one the states are coming to recognize the primary importance of strong, competent banking departments. The demand for Increasing the effectiveness of banking departments is beginning to be met." How Bank Commissioners Are Chosen The office of bank commissioner is now operated as an independent department of state government in thirty- four states, the bankers find. In two states the bank commissioner Is elected at general elections; in one he la appointed from eligible lists of the civil service and in another he is selected by the banks. In onto state the bankers' association elects a list of five names from which the governor appoints one as superintendent of banks;, in another he is appointed by the State Corporation Commission and In another by the State Banking Board. "Terms of office of bank commissioners have been lengthened In several states during thVlast five years," the report says. "In 28 states the term is four years, In one, five years, and in three it is six yean and in some the term is indefinite. A short term is condemned on the grounds that the commissioner has insufficient time to become thoroughly conversant with his field work. A longer term permits his rendering useful service through capitalizing his experience. Five years ago the average length of service was less than three years, while now it has risen to five years. Higher Standards Required "Signs of an awakening to the necessity of making successful banking experience a qualification for bank commissioner are evident. While eleven states report no banking experience necessary, the majority reqqlre experience of this sort, ranging from two to five years. Twelve states now have banking boards, with powers ranging from acting in an advisory capacity to full power over all state b'.nks to issue and reject charters. "A healthy sign is the number of reports which disclose that the commissioners have full power to appoint bank examiners or that these appointments are made from civil service lists. This power is now granted to the commissioner by twenty-seven states. Three require that selection be from civil service lists. Complaints are still made in a few states of political pressure in the appointment of examiners, but the contrary seems to be true in a growing number of states. The most capable commissioner cannot successfully perform bis duties unless be is able to command the services ot efficient, honest examiners. The safety of depositors is dependent on their work, and their appointment, fitness and compensation are highly important. The number of examiners has increased 2.5 per cent in the last five years.** . Twice A.

Ration for Winter A feeding program suited to either the man with three to five cows or the specialized dairyman is suggested by E. C. Biting of the Missouri Agricultural college. Because corn is our cheapest feed, he tecommends that ground corn or corn apd cobmeal form the basis of most rations. Some bulk and variety is desirabit and may be furnished by wheat bran, ground oats or both. Bran Is also rich in minerals, especially lime.

BANKERS TO HOLD GREAT CONVENTION Cleveland. Ohio, has been designated for the 1930 annual convention of the American Bankers Association. This organization, which numbers about 20,000 banks with $65,000,000,000 In assets, is annually the nation's most important, financial event. The attendance ranges between five and ten thousand. Cleveland is especially significant Id the history of the Association's educational traditions since it was in this city, when the organization last met there In the year 1899, that the original resolution was presented looking to the formation of an educational section. This subsequently resulted in the American Institute of Banking in which are now enrolled 35,000 bank men and women engaged In the study of the technical and scientific phases Qf the business.
