Then It often happens that the bull baa been Slaughtered for aome reason and his Taluable Influence lost to the herd. John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at the North Carolina State college, says the bureau of dairying at Washington had proven the value of 834 bulls up until September, 1929. through records kept by dairy herd improvement associations, ,yet when the bureau began to search for these bulla, only 126 were living. The remainder were dead or no authentic Infonntalon waa available. For that reason, says Mr. Arey. the herd sire should not be disposed of ontll his value has become known through the production of his daughters. After Che bull has bad a chance to prove his value, he should be kept as long u he is fit for service, provided be Is a good one. If > poor one, be should be slaughtered Immediately. Many bulls are sold to the butcher When quite young because they have developed a vicious disposition. VICiousnesa la -not a characteristic on which to condemn the animal, thinks Mr. Arey. Frequently such animal Is one of tha most valuable that the dairymen could own and there are ways In which a dangerous boll may be easily handled. One of the best is the method used by a group of farmers in Caldwell county. These men have an elevenyear- old animal owned jointly. They have constructed a pen with shelter and with a breeding pen adjoining. This equipment was built at small cost to each individual and yet it provides ample facilities for handling the bull and at the same time Insures his' safe handling. Such equipment la recommended by Mr. Arey to other farmers who may wish to keep a herd aire that has grown dangerous with age. Good Pasture Essential to Keep Up Milk Flow To keep up the milk flow In summer It is essential to have good pasture. Graas probably provides the cheapest feed that is available for dairy cows. Because of its succulent character It produces a larger flow of milk than an equal amount of feed furnished in some other form. Cattle showing a mineral deficiency on many other types of feed will generally show no mineral deficiency when they are on good pasture. Overstocking Is probably as great a cause as any other for damage to pastures. They should be top-dressed with manure or a complete fertiliser to give them the proper amount of nitrogen and minerals. Lime and phosphorus also have been found helpful. New York State College k Favors Early Cut Irfay Plan to cut hay early and feed some of it. Feed well on grain. For Holstelns and Ay rehires, New York State college recommends one pound of grain to five pounds of milk produced during the early summer, and one to four as soon as pastures show any drought Jerseys and GuerAseys need more. The college recommends one to four of milk early and one to three later in the season. The grain mixture the college sag gests is 300 pounds wheat bran, 400 pounds hominy, 200 pounds gluten feed and 100 pounds cottonseed meal Feeding In summer boosts the yearly average of cows; and all records show that the higher the yearly aver age of a cow the greater the from her. n i n n n i n i t i n » i f 1 1 1 1 1 1 Dairy Notes 11 u m n m 1111 m 111 n n Monsieur Toupee • > By MILDRED P.

Wearily she entered, dragged off her hat aiid sank to the worn velour of the living room sofa. From his cage in the sunshine, a yellow canary chirped his greeting. Laurette did not hear. Felice, her maid, entered. "Ah," murmured Felice, "Wfiat a pity! Madame is exhausted--quite exhausted! Madame has had no luck?" "None," said Laurette; "not a scrap! It Is to laugh, Felice! In desperation one becomes « blond to please the managers and behold, at the moment of accomplishment, blonds cease to be the order of the day. And so with figures--I diet, I eschew every delicacy; I consume whole mountains of lettuce to no purpose. Of a sudden curves become the fashion. No one will have me and that's the truth! Not a line can I get! I grow old. Felice, I admit It--and therein lies the difficulty!" She sighed. Lifting her gaze to the table, her brows quirked in amusement. On it reposed a basket of bright spring flowers. Shell-pink snapdragons rose in dewy freshness to mingle with long spikes of deep blue larkspur, cups of purple tulips apd golden daffodils. ; "Hm!" breathed Laurettas caller?"

'Ah," exclaimed Laurette; "so 'froggy' came a wooing--my precious little bald one! Always I long to tweak that saucer of curling wavelet and gaze upon the ahlniness below." When Felice replied her tone was Insinuating. "Monsieur Is kind," said Felice, "and widower and well-to-do." "You're right, Felice," she said; "It's the only solution! What joy to have money In one's pocket--nice clothes again upon one's back! No bills--no worries--no daily round of humiliation --nothing to do but sit on a satin pillow and gossip with good housewives!" A grimace curled her lips. "Felice," she continued, "I surrender to your wisdom. Tonight, we will settle everything." The number called, her voice on the phone was tender. Monsieur? It is I--Laurette. Tonight, my friend, I am lonely I You must come and dine with your poor Laurette. No! No! Not at a restaurant ! Here at my home--I prefer It! simple dinner, Monsieur, merely a sole prepared by Laurette--a salad-- a bit of cheese. You will come? Ah, am glad! Adieu!" The receiver dropped to the hook. "So," said Laurette, "it Is settled 1" Her arm swept out in a swift imperious gesture. "Make haste, Felice, prepare the cage for my squirrel. Coals for the grate, rose candles, a table before the fire spread with our Sunday linen, and your own brave sauce for the sole." She tewssed back her head and laughed. The bell at the front door jingled. Laurette pinched out her cigarette and retired to her dressing room. A man's voice sounded in the hallway; muffled parley followed and at length Feliee appeared. The agent for the rent, Madame-^ a new one! Ah, he Is handsome--so young--so gallant ! If Madame in her ravishing robe were to speak to him, be might perchance, be lenient." Tell him I Will come," said Laur ette. The agent was charming, humble and apologetic. He regretted the necessity of his call, but a trifling matter of six months' rent had doubtless escaped Madame's memory. Now that it- had been brought to her attention would Madame be so kind-- Standing in the pool of her velvet train, Laurette permitted her features to grow wistful. "Ah, Monsieur," she murmured, "1 become Indiscreet--I confide. For a year I have had only trouble. Daily go to the managers, daily they to* fuse me work. At last my money is gone. A week ago all seemed hopeless; but recently I have had a great happiness. Now everything is changed. Go back to the owner and tell him the matter will be settled without delay. Tell him soon he may refer everything to--to a certain Monsieur Toupee." The agent was deHghted. Murmuring felicitations, h^/Jbowed and withdrew. The clock on the mantle whirred and chirruped five. From the kitchen came the clink of pots and pans, as Felice made preparations. Laurette In her boudoir was choosing a suitable gown. The door bell tinkled. Felice retired to answer It. A moment later she returned, a letter In her hand. Puzzled, Laurette accepted the note, broke the seal and read: Madame Frolssard: It is with deep regret I find I must decline your invitation.

BEKTHA GUINEY In case after case, even where all else tried has failed, Konjola, the new and different medicine, brings swift and complete relief. Consider, as an example of Konjola's 32 ingredients at work, the experience of Mrs. Bertha Guiney, Coal City, 111., who says: 'After birth of my daughter I was in a very weakened condition and constipation filled my system with poisons. For two years I tried any and all medicines recommended but I became steadily worse. Finally my mother urged me to try Konjola. Well six bottles of Konjola rid me of my troubles, improved my health and strength and I have gained twenty pounds in weight. I make this statement without any remuneration whatsoever, hoping it may benefit someone else in ill health." Konjola is the most talked of medicine in America simply because it makes good. There is a reason why seven million bottles of Konjola were used in two years. Itiat reason is that Konjola gives results, and results are what sufferers need and want. Konjola is sold in McHenry, 111., at Thomas P. Bolger's drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. wliww t of i PUlM The part Of a plane called the "empennage" is the arrangement of Stabilizing planes fixed at the stern of a dirigible, and funcUons as feathers do on an arrow; also a fixed stabiiiztail on an airplane.

Since the number of sockets is not considered in the commutation of charges, residential customers may have an unlimited number of outlets for increasing lighting facilities and for using an unlimited number of ordinary domestic appliances. Bills will be computed on the basis of the number of rooms and the number of kilowatt-hours consumed. residential survey has been made to determine the number of rooms upon which the charges will be based. The Company will from time to time continue to make «bch surveys in order to keep accurate records of tip number of rooms. The new rate schedule does npt cancel the old rate f*f. residential service. Should any customer, after trying the «ew rate, be disposed to have his charges computed under the old rale, the Company will do so upon request, prodding the request it made before February 1,1931. Reduction in Commercial Rate Effective on the same date as the reduction in rate for sesidential service, there will also be available a new light ifcd power rate for small commercial users, such as store* ohops and offices.
