PA on A A A * - By producing enough milk and but- terfat to make 5,366 pounds of butter, Queen Bessie Pletertje Ormsby, a ma. ture Holstein-Frieslan cow, becomes the national butterfat champion for four lactations and for the third time produces more than 1,000 pounds of butterfat In a year. In the past four Jactations, she has produced 4,202.1 pounds of butterfat, equivalent to 5,305.8 pounds of 80 per cent butter, in 108,475.5 pounds (12,658 gallons) of milk. Her average for four lactations is 27,1188 pounds of milk containing 1,073 pounds fat (1.341 butter). Queen Dessie Is also the champion fat producer for three lactations with a total of 3,300.5 pounds and Is third on the list for two lactations with a total of 2,001.2 pounds.

This wonderful cow, Queen Bessle, Is moderately large and welghs only 1.700 pounds yet, in her four lacta tions, she has produced enough but terfat to more than treble her weight in butter, Her sire Is King Pletertje Mercedes Ormsby with 17 A.

Implement House Needed on Farms Store in Some Other Place Than Along Ditch or Under Trees If farm machinery is to last, Is ex- pected to give good service and Is to pay a return for its cost, it must be stored In some place other than along the ditch bank or under trees, “There is no known type of farming profitable enough to dividends when machinery is al me rusty gnd worn, is repaired with hay wire or permitted to the weather during winter” Tolman, agricultural Yiorth Carolina good far pay lowed to beco stand In Stat 8 use one set of machi i fotime ietime, t service, 9 to r men ch year, he ice is due to management and men never permit their ements to remain in the ts te in use: othe for a often exceeding <0 yenrs of whi fe othe fndd to the junk pile ea Some expensi open wi ve Tm en not rs seldom house their equipment, to keep the properly and a.

Clean Before Storing. Defore storing any machine, how- ever, It should be given a thorough cleaning and oiling. The mud and dirt should be removed to prevent deterioration, says Mr. Holman, If this is not done the agencies of rust and decay will continue even though the machines are stored. Those parts of the tools which work In the ground especially need oiling ns do the bearings and exposed threads. During idle time In winter repairs might be made so that the machines are ready when the rush of spring work comes, Needed. that every house, Spraying With Arsenic Is Dangerous to Stock On farms where trees are sprayed with arsenicals, the grass under the trees may become saturated with the drip and live stock losses may result from grazing on thig dangerous herh- age. A more common source of ar genie poisoning, however, Is due to carelessness in disposing of the ar genic containers, Cattle seem to enjoy the taste of arsenle and the anlinals will Hiek the old cans or drink with relish the water accumulated in them and usually with fatal results, Even washing the containers does not al. witys remove the danger, It Is best to destroy them, Keep Gas Engine Busy on Various Farm Jobs You'll have to travel quite a ways these days to find a farm that doesn’t have at lenst one gas engine on it, The trouble Ig that farmers do not use, their gas engines nearly as much as they should. The main use they hinve for them seems to be pumping, and an occasional hook-up with n feed grinder, fanning mill or something cf the kind. If one has a gas ongine, It certainly will pay to keep It busy. It isn't nee essary to operate the pump all the time on a farm; there are many ma. ehines fir which power can be used.

When figuring the space it is necessary to take into account entire bin, not just the volume of the grain. The liquid may be placed in large pans on top of the grain, or bur- lap bags or cotton waste, satufated with It, may be buried in the grain. The bin should remain tightly closed for at least 38 hours after the fumi- gant has been applied. Dred Prox possible, ahove GF grees, Fi he Proper Storage of Feed Much trouble with moldy and spoiled feed could be avoided if a little care were given to the way In which it is stored. One thing that will help In this regard is the stor. ing of feed on boards instead of di- rectly on cement floors. It two by fours are laid on the floor and the bags of feed piled on these In rows, there will be leas dan- | ger of spolling, there will be a better | circulation of alr throughout the | feed, and it will be an easier matter to fight rats, for rat bait can be more easily distributed among the feed bags and cats will have better access to all parts of the feed plie in fight. ing rats.

BARRETT WHY MEN FAIL WV EN we speak of fallure think of the colinpse of b the stok market individual who has been besten in the fierce competition of modern life. We think of a moral failure as the result of disobedience of fixed which we have Inherited and which the superstructure of our civ flization safely resis. In all such fall ures some definite action was neces sary in order to bring about the result. Business organiza. tions fall because of over produc tion and an inabll ity to meet compe. tition. Moral fail. ure results from the lack of self control. Thus fall urs is usually thought of as the result of definite action, All fallure, how ever in not posi tive in character, Failure may be due to a negative L. A. Barrett. rather than a posi. tiva attitude of mind. It may have been better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all. Many persons, however, do not even try. They will not make the plunge. They refuse to take the risk. Lacking self-confi dence, their attitude is largely nega. tive with no definite results on the credit side of their life's record We somehow admire the man who has made a herole effort even though he may not have succeeded: but, we dn not like to see the ahsence of effort In the struggle of the world's work Failure, because one has not made the effort, is more Inmentahle than a battle lost, but heroically fought. Men fall to attain, negatively, for two reasons. They do not venture because they refuse to assert self. confidence and self-reliance. They wrap up thelr talent In a napkin be cause they are afrald they will lose it. They will not struggle hecanse they fear they will not have the strength to win. The second reason why men fall is greed. Shylock de manded the pound of flesh but he got nothing. Greed always kills. In the very na. ture of the case It must bring fallure. Greed does not Inspire confidence and trust without which no success ls pos. | sible. Think of the men you have known who have failed. How many of these could attribute their fallures to either fear or greed or both? we ysiness organizations, Or (@, 1929, Western Newspaper Tinion.y KRHA ARUN RRBR BNR RR RRR Rex Bell FX RFT Rte Foe HM SH SNH 2 HRN Handsome Rex Bell, a product of Chicago, well known in the film en. titled “The Cock-Eyed World” was educated at the Holiywood high school where he starred in athletics.
