DAIRY HERDS.
The tendency toward building up
the dairy business, like that of every
other business, is toward the bast
possible conditions for the most pro
fit. Bvery one recognizes the fact
that high grade conditions In any
business only approximates the best
and most profitable, The highest and
most profitable dairy herd is that of
pure bred cows as well as sires, and
to this end here in the central States
as in the more eastern, every year
more pure brad herds are taking the
place of high gmdes.’ The tendency
in this is like that In every other
industry, to get to the top in a profit

CLEAN UP OFTEN.
Numberiess cases of unthrifty and
| unprofitable or even diseased flocks
are caused by the chickens roosting
| over their own excrement. A good
| many people think that cleaning out
{ the droppings once a month is strict
| poultry cleanliness, but this is so
only when compared with that clean
| Iiness which demands a clean up once
or twice a year. It is hard to clean
up a poultry house too often; remem
ber that.
For instance, just imagine yourself
in old Biddy's place and do a little
tall thinking. In her wild state she
would roost in a tree sufficiently high
that the fumes arising from her ex
erement would not reach her at all;
and it stands to reason that if she
fa forced to mleep just a short dis
tance above the pathared filth of
many nights, as she so frequently is,
her breathing apparatus Is going to
get out of order and her constitu
tion Is bound to be undermined and
her vitality sapped. This makes het
susceptible to croup, cholera and oth
er more or less serious diseases, and
often is the direct cause of her death
