EL* JlH JL *Ad.*EteHT^^ ^rtV, GOOD OP BULL ASSOCIATIONS tExpenenee Shows That Organizations /t Purebred' Sires Should Be Used in Grading Up Herds. nearly every kind of dairy community that can be found, The annual report of the dairy division shows that there are.now about 120 bull associations in 80 different states of the Union, and rimong all classes of communities. Th^ extension men of the dairy di vision find that in very many cases, when the idea /of a bull association is discussed, people think that, 'while such an organization ia clearly a good thing on general principles, the con ditions In their pmticular community are, nbt suitable. Many times, in such places, it has been fried, and to the surprise of some it has been found that the conditions did not stand in the way nt oil. There are many such communities^ They have men en gaged in dairying they have scrub or other inferior bulls which should be replaced^ and they have the need for better Dulls. Any coramunliP ip which \here .are 200 or more cows can better afford to haverrt bull association than it can afford to be without one and if the 'people of the community are neighbor ly nnd able to work together In every day business affairs, they can Just ns well have strong association with all its benefits. CARE FOR BREEDING CATTLE Have Both Cows and Herd Bull in Good Physical Condition to Insure Uniform Calf Crop1. If it Is desired to have calves dropped In lie fall or eaily winter monthsNov emberthe cows should be/ bred in February and March. One way to Insure a uniform calf crop is .to have both_ the breeding cows and herd bull in good physical condition nt tljis thiMj, A herd bull that has been left with the wintering heid to shift for himself is, ns a rule, in poor condition when the' breeding serson arrives, and the chances are that he will not be a sure, vigorous sire.

The breed ing cows should be healthy and vigor ous at time of calving, otherwise thejr should receive in addition to a lib eral supply of silage, ^legume hay, or iither roughage, and a small amount of frain, in order that they* may give, suf ficient milk to nourish the carves prop erly and at the'same time maintain their own condition. COLOR PREFERRED IN BUTTER .That Which la Not Too Pale Is Gen. eraHy^ FavoredQuality Not "Always Affected. The color of good butter should be clear and even throughout. Although the shade of the color does not alwajs affect the quality of the butter, pref erence is generally given to that which is not too pale in color. When the cream is churned at too high a tem perature, the butter comes quickly, but loses much of its natural color Churning at too low a temperature, nnd consequently for too loflg a time, also destroy the color of the butter produced. Color in butter Is often spoiled through ovenv ashing or over working it Butter is of a paler color from sweet cream than from ripened, as In the former case there is more buttermilk in the finished product. FOR CLEANING MILK BOTTLES Cold or Lukewarm Water Prevents Hardening and Sticking of Albu men and Casein. When milk bottles'are allowed to stand, the casein hardens on them and it is almost as difficult to remove as ulien it is burned on by the use of hot water. If it is necessary to let your milk bottles stand for any length of time, it is best to pour cokl, or Joke warm water into them, which will pre rent the hardening and sticking of the) albumen and casein. Then, when It be comes time to wash them, Inttewn'-tfi wafer ihnlP X! i* eu can Vbe used followed by hot water, boiling water or live steam. this method, the bottles will be c?an, and all bacteria will be Wiled by Hie hot water. Varieties/of "Smote*." The Burmese maidens do exactly what Kipling says they do In his' "Koad to Mandalay," for they smoke a cigar ten Inches long and as fat as a gooU-sisjed candle, and with a white papar covering. The longest pipes knowu ore those used by the natives of the Be%lnri Congo. These pipes have stems ten or ^twelve feet long, with small bowls. If matches were used to light them a friend would be needed to apply the flame, but the native gets his light by merely thrust ing the bowl into his camp fire.

A discovery that throws light on prehistoric times Jias been made in central France. In the cave of the "Three Brothers/* at Montesquieu, a wali painting, made in elemental col ors of black and yellow, has been found by savants. It is apparently 15,000 years old. It represents a man, walking to the left, naked anfl* be daubed with stripe* His body is lean ing forward, with his arms in front, ^and hands joined. On his head is a sort of mask representing a stag, and a horse's tail is bound on his loins. Professor Begoeun believes it repre sents a primitive sorcerer in the ex ercise of his mysteries, and that the cave in qqestion vras a prehistoric wizard's den*. It is. conjectured the cave was wall 'ed up with Jts occupants during a vol canic eruption countless thousands of years ago. I 'iy Where We Get Pineapples.

Writing on "Aerial Warfare in An cient India" in Discovery, Btbal -ill Shah recalls the interesting faj that the science of aviation was conceived in- India as early as/500 B. O- In- cised in the caves of Ellora are fig ures of ancient Hindu aerial machines, i and there are references in the~tradR tionnl books of the Brahmans, particu larly the Ramayana and Malmbha ratta, to the use of "flying carriages" in the earliest period of Indian his tory. The Ramayana (compiled about 500 B. C.) informs us that Rawun, a ktag of Ceylon, used to fly over his oppo nents' armies, "and not Infrequently caused them, severe los^ while after the defeat and death of that monarch at the nands of the Brahmans his "fly ing carriage" became the property of the Ramchatada, the Hindu-chief, who flew inv it to his capital at Ajjndhia. In the Sanskrit classic one comes ^across numerous aeronautical terms. Among these are Vaman-yanu, mean( ing: To.propel a flying carriage. Va man-Chirya, meaning: To fly in a fly ing carriage Varaan-Perbhoot, mean ing: A succession of flying carriages and ^yaman-Arj, meaning: One who wprks a flying carnage (an aeronaut). "Such phrases are very frequently met with in the Hindu epic writings," says the writer.
