EACH IS A GENUINE GOODYEAR
Each of the two tires illustrated above is a gen
uine Goodyear through and through.
One is the famous reliable 30x3)4 inch Goodyear
All-Weather Tread Clincher.
Its companion is the popular 30x 3li inch Good
year Cross Rib.
The Goodyear Cross Rib is built of the same high
grade Egyptian cotton fabric that goes into the
All-Weather Tread Goodyear.
It has a long-wearing but differently designed
tread, and sells for less money.
More than 5,000,000 of these tires have been
sold in the last five years.
Their fine performance has demonstrated the
folly of buying unknown and unguaranteed tires
of lower price.

(Prepared by the United Stales Department
of Agriculture.)
As a result of the conference of
representatives of the purebred dairy
cattle associations neld In Washing
ton. May 5, at the call of Dr. C W.
Larson, chief of the dairy division
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, a number of Important
recommendations were made for the
Improvement of the dairy Industry,
especially the purebred dairy cattle
businesu. Each of tfte breed associa
tions. Including the Ayrshire, Brown
Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein-Frleslan, and
Jersey, was represented by two or
more delegates. The subjects of dis
cussion had to do with the Improve
ment of dairy cattle, advanced regis
try, fairs, and sales.
No conferences of this kind bad
been held for several years, and the
representatives expressed the desire
tbut this one might result In the for
mation of a permanent organization to
thresh out problems of mutual interest
and to work for the general better
ment of the Industry. Figures pre
pared by the department showed a de
cided need for improvement in dairy
animals and In making the best use
of the Improved animals that are now
available. The average production of
co-operate. In this connection It was
suggested that the various representa
tives ask their associations at their
earliest meetings to appoint commit
tees to meet with the Dairy Science
association to see if an Improved plan
for making official tests of cows can be
worked out, which will be agreeable
to the breeders, the associations, and
the colleges that send out the official
testers.
The showing of dairy animals at
fairs and exposition received a good
deal of attention from several angles.
It was decided to recommend to tha
associations that they cease giving
money prizes at these shows, but
spend the funds In putting on educa
tional exhibits; that more attention
should be given to production records
In awarding prizes at fairs and
shews; that the associations repre
sented should give more attention to
educational exhibits showing the eco
nomic advantage of purebreds In dairy
practice; that each association has a
distinct duty In conuectlon with tho
selection of suitable persons to act as
judges of the various breeds of dairy
cattle at fairs and shows; that no ani
mals should be admitted to fairs and
expositions unless thy are from herds
accredited as being free of tubercu

There la a Decided Need for improve ment In Dairy Animals and in Making
the Best Use of Those Now Available.
tbe cows of the United States Is about
4,000. pounds of milk and 160 pounds
of butterfat a year, while the average
cow In some other countries produces
almost twice as much. There are SO
million grade and scrub dairy animals
In the country and le?s than a million
purebreds. There are 4,506,604 Amer
ican farms having dairy cattle, and
only 208,251 of these farms have pure
bred dairy cattle. It Is estimated that
approximately 250,000 purebred' dairy
buH calves born each year are not
needed on the farms where purebreds
are kept. Of the purebred animals
that were registered iast year, about
150,000 were females and less than
75,000 males, which indicates that not
half of the purebred dairy bulls are
registered.
Recommend Better Sires.
Among the recommendations mnde
by the conference were those express
ing approval of plans for increasing
the use of purebred bulls in scrub and
grade herds, and of the plans for co
operative bull associations as being
the best known means for distributing
surplus bulls and introducing them
into new territory. Although there Is
place In this country for all the
purebred dairy cattle that may be pro
duced for some time, It was the con
sensus of opinion that an expert busi
ness In purebreds would help to stimu
late Interest among farmers at home.
A number of questions related to
advanced registry were brought up.
Co-ordination of effort by and between
the agricultural colleges and the breed
associations was suggested, and It was
recommended that these organizations
and institutions make special efforts to
losls or In herds under federal or state
supervision, and that fairs not enforc
ing such a rule should not be favored
with animals for exhibits. i
Live Stock Sales Discussed.
Questions relating to private and
public sales were discussed, and It was
decided to suggest a meeting at an
early date of all the dairy cattle asso
ciations with a view to drafting a code
of ethics for sales that would elim
inate some of the undesirable condi
tions. Since an excessive amount of
attention is given to a few high prices
to the neglect of average conditions,
It was also agreed to recommend to
the associations tint t they send In to
the bureau of markets and crop esti
mates of the department regular re
ports of prices paid for purebred dairy
cattle.
The list of associations and their
representatives taking part In the con
ference Is as follows:

REFILLING SACKS IS PROHIBITED
(Prepared by the United State Department

Some feed dealers are refilling used
feed sacks stamped or printed with
the name of the manufacturer and
the brand name of the feed that was
orlcinallv in the sack, so that the
names and brands are not true In
reference to the feed In the sack after

bureau of chemistry, United States De
partment of Agriculture, who are
charged with the enforcement of the
Food and Drugs act.
A feed dealer of Iowa was recently
cited to a hearing under the Federal
Food and Drugs act for shipping Into
Interstate commerce a molasses feed
in bass which he had refilled but
which bore the name of another feed
manufacturer. The sacks also bore a
brand name under which the original
owner of the sacks sold a stock feed
of much huzher grade than the feed
with which the sacks were refilled.
The Federal Food and Drugs act
does not reaulre the name of the man
ufacturer or the brand name to ap
pear on sacks of feed coming with.
In Its jurisdiction, according to offi
cials of the bureau, but If the name
of the manufacturer and brand are
given on the sack they must be true.
The Food and Drugs act prohibits
the use of any statements on foods
or feeds that are false or mislead
ing in any particular.
A dealer who contemplates refilling
used feed sacks on which Is printed
the name of another manufacturer or
any statements that are not correct
when applied to l"..e product he uses
In refilling the sacks should be very
careful to see that all such statements
are obliterated.
Inspectors have been Instructed to

roasters and hens, a fortunate situa
tion since It permits the feeder to
adapt his ration to market conditions
by taking advantage of speclaL prices
of certain feeds and also to use feeds
available locally. A growing blrrti
such as a broiler or spring, requires
a different ration than a mature hen,
which changes most of her feed Into
fat. A simple ration of corn meal and
buttermilk Is about as good as any for
hens. Broilers fed rations containing
protein concentrates, such as peanut
meal, coconut oil, soy-bean meal, or
meat scrap made appreciably better
gains than those fed on corn meal and
buttermilk. They grow rapidly and
need tissue-forming feeds. Springs
also respond readily to rations con
taining protein concentrates.
Throughout the 14-day feeding pe
riod broilers continued to gain well,
which shows that this Is not too long
a feeding period. Springs grew very
rapidly during the first 11 days, but
not so rapidly, though profitably, dur
ing the remaining three days. Roast
ers gained well during the first two
four-day periods, but not so well the
last six days. It was found that the
practice of feeding hens only six t
eight days is well founded. The dress
ing and chilling shrinkage of hens,
however, was much less than In the
case of broilers, springs and roasters.
Any of the ordinary cereal grains
supply the necessary carbohydrates
and fats. More care Is needed in se
lecting feeds for protein, salts and
vitamines. The proteins of the cereal
grains are present In too small
amounts and are of too poor quality
to produce the best results in broilers
and springs unless other protein con- .
centrates are added. Milk and cereals
make one of the most profitable ra
tions, as milk supplies mineral sub
stances, vitamines and very valuabla
proteins. The results given In the bul
letin show that peanut meal protein,
as well as soy-bean meal protein, is
especially valuable. The proteins of
buttermilk are especially valuable,
and If used In sufficiently large
amounts produce very desirable re
sults. Other protein concentrates are
meat and fish scraps, cottonseed meal,
coconut meal and sesame-seed meal.
Corn, wheat, oats and other grains
lack such mineral substances as cal
cium, sodium and chlorine which
growing animals require. In the ra
tions where buttermilk or skim milk
Is used, these Ingredients are fairly
well supplied. Milk also supplies vita
mines. At present tTie milk uvailabla
for poultry-fleshing purposes Is largely
buttermilk, fresh, condensed or pow
dered. Those Interested In the fleshing of
