PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactuo Blows Around tho
Desert for Months.
Cmimw anionR vegetable growths

Is the i outlets cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World.
This plant, a round, compact growth,
rolls about tho love! Iloor of the des

the year, tossed hither and yon by
"the winds which blow' with fierceness
over all of California's trniid plat dur

At (he coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
Hie desert in Its springtime, this cac

have been dropped by the last wind
of which it was tho plaything and Im
mediately begins to put out nil around
it small shoots, which In turn become
cacti, exactly llko the parent plant
These young growths Increase In
size lapldly, sucking the niolsturo
both from the parent plant and from
the stinoundlug earth. The loots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over n circle, whoso
radius Is not less than ton feet. Theso
roots, too, aro small, but practically
Innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
In tho territory they cover.

DON'T SELL THE DAIRY
HEIFERS-RAISE THEM
Uso a Good Slro nnd Improve tho Standard of You? Herd
By Wllber J. Frascr, Chief in Dairy Hus
bandry, Illinois University.
Many dairymen are not raising their
heifer calves; Instead the herd Is re
plenished by buying cows. Four pro
fessional cow buyers sold about 7,000
cows In tho vicinity of Klgin. 111.,
alone, last yenr; besides this many
cows were shipped In by tho dairy
men themselves. On many dairy
farms tho heifer calves, good, bad nnd
Indifferent, go for veal. Where this
Is done It means there Is no provi
sion for perpetuating tho dairy herd or
tho bent cows In It.
The dnlrynian from whom tho Illi
nois station bought cow No, 1 with n
A 3hrewd Young Financier's Clever
Heifers at from Two
three years' record of 105 pounds of
butter fat per year, was making no ef
fort to perpetuate her superior quali
ties but was selling her calves at $2.50
each. This is certainly n ruinous prac
tlco to the dairy business.
Tho cow buyer cannot get enough
renlly good cows to supply his pur
chasers, as but few of the best cows
aro for sale. Tho dairyman himself
must ralso tho heifer calves of his
best cows and not depend on any
body's offerings to replenish his herd.
He has tho breeding stock, tho feed
cheap feed and the equipment. Calf
raising Is n nntural part of his busi
ness. It is absurd to suppose that as
a rule ho can buy as good cows as ho
can raise. Tho reasons are plain. Ho
needs to retnin but few calves each
yenr and can sell tho less-promising
ones. Ho knows tho paromtago of tho
calves and need save nono but those
from high-producing mothers. It Is
far easier to sell inferior stock (to tho
butcher) than to buy cows that aro
oxcellont producers.
A pioniinent dairyman of tho state
Bays of his grade herd: "The heifers
wo raise from our best cows nro bet
ter milk producers with their first
calves than aro tho average innturo
cows wo can buy." Several of our
most progressive dairymen have said
practically the same thing.
Yet In the faco of all this, hundreds
of dairymen mako no effort to save
their best heifer calves, and they
think they have a reason. They say
lr7fc.OsTgir?lry,fcJr7
The Bull Is One-Half of the Herd.
It takes too much milk. This question
was carefully Investigated with 48
ealvoH by tho Illinois experiment sta
tion. Twelve calves at a time were
tested at Tour different times. It was
found they could bo successfully raised
on 150 pounds of whole milk and 100
pounds of sklmmllk. This milk was
fed at the rate of ten pounds por day
until the calves were r,0 days old,
when it was gradually lessened ono
pound per day for ten days ami then
no more was fed. No substitutes for
milk wore used. Only oidlnnry grains
which tho farmer produces, and u
good quality of legume hay were fed,
showing that tho dairyman can ralso
r. calf In this way with almost no ox
ha trouble. Several of these calves
aro now cows In milk and good pro
ducers, Indicating that they wore not
injured by this method of raising.
The sale aluo of tho milk fed these
calves was as follows:
mo n, whult! milk ifi ti p..r ion i.5o
4'jO lb. hUIiii mill; Q $u so per 100 l.'O
.tiro
And these pi Ices of milk aro liberal,
especially as they aro nahl at thn farm
nnd no money or labor Is expended In
hauling the milt' to market. It Is not
so expensive to ralso a calf as tho
dairymen have thought. Tho grain
and hay consumed by tho helfors of
high quality will give much bettor ro
turns than tho samo feed fed to cows,
liaising tho helfor calves of good
high-producing cows, is a great fuuda
mental lequlslto for tho best and
easiest Improvement of the dairy
herd. Hut those calvcB will tako their

An Inspection of dairy herclB will
show that many times comparatively
llttlo attention Is paid to tho quality
of the Biro. In n recotit visit to the
dairy region of northern Illinois, the
wiltcr noted six herds In which tho
heifer calves were raised for future

actual milk production of their femalo
ancestors.
With a herd of 10 cows, as hero il
lustrated, each cow represents ono
eightieth of tho ftituro herd each year,
and the wholo number of 40 cows rep
resent forty-eightieths of tho herd, and
tho good well-bred slro represents one
half or forty-eightieths of nil the qual
ity and qualities, character and char
acterlstlcs, tho capacity for milk pro
duction, and everything else, transmit
ted to tho cnlves which aro to consti
tute tho succeeding herd.
A fine dairy slro can be bought for
$150, and with 40 grade cows at $00
per head, tho herd comes to $2,400.
The bull costs only one-seventeenth of
tho Investment, yet ho will Improve
the future herd as much aB the other
slxteen-seventeenths. The extra $100
put Into a good slro is tho best Invest
ment In tho herd.
Forty-ono nnlmals aro purchased;
ono animal will influence the future
herd nB nitieh as tho other 40. It Is
worth while, then, to give much extra
time nnd study to tho selection of that
one, tho sire.
From generation to generation tho
succession of well-selectod sires goes
on Increasing and Intensifying tho Im
provement of tho herd. In this way
tho slro becomes three-fourths, seven
eighths, fifteen-sixteenths, etc., of tho
herd. In fnct In a few years the sire
la practically "tho wholo thing."
So tho slro may he much moro than
half tho herd whether Judged by tho
quantity, strength, quality or accumu
lated effect of tho characteristics ho
transmits. It Is lltorally true that tho
slro may thus, within a few years, at
slight expense, completely transform a
dairy herd and moro than doublo Its
proilt.
Every man who has had any ex
tended experience or observation in
the uso of a good pure-bred slro from
high-producing dams at tho head of a
dairy herd, will ngreo that this slro
was of peculiar value nnd great econ
omy In building up the herd. Tho rec
ords of dnlry breeding havo proved
It conclusively a thousand times over.
No man who studies tho facts can
doubt It. The cvidenco Is to bo seen
In tho heifers of every such slro, and
In their contrast with heifers lacking
such pnrentago.
Looso Shoes. Tho horse's shoos
should bo kept tight. A looso shoo
greatly tires tho horso that has to
wear It, especially if ho has to woik
on hard roads. It Is often a cntiso of
lameuess. Iioso shoes can bo pre
vented by taking tho horso to tho
blacksmith's occasionally and having
him examine the shoes to seo If they
need tightening.
Mow the Pasture Weeds. It Is a
good thing to mow tho pasture weeds
at tho beginning of summer, so that
tho cows will not got a chnnco to eat
them oven If they so desire. This
will help keop tho milk fiom hnvlng
a woody ilavor nnd will also glvo tho
grass a chance to begin to supplant
the weeds.

these. The ungainly bird of fine

It is curious to observe the features
that make a plume moro or less val

that can observe all the points of dif
ference. Width of tho flues, quality
of the fiber, length, texture, color and
absence or presence of scars are all to
be reckoned with.
The business is fascinating in all
departments: The buying, manufactur

Ostrich, especially In high grades, Is
a good investment for women who can
afford It. It will not grow less val

Although ostrich plumes hold first
