JAMES H. OWEN, R. F. D. 4, Ncwbnrgli. N. Y 
Co-operation in Selling Heifer*. 
"It is a good proposition for the farm¬ 
er who lives away from a city market 
to raise heifers,” Prof. Anderson of the 
Michigan Agricultural College told the 
writer not long ago. ‘‘The near-city 
dairyman cannot afford to raise them 
since he receives high prices for his 
dairy products.” Professor Anderson 
urged the raising of heifers until they 
calved, breeding to good bulls, and keep¬ 
ing the heifer calves. He advises rear¬ 
ing the heifer calves and buying more 
to maintain the number to be sold each 
year. If good quality stock is produced, 
the city dairyman will return year after 
year to replenish his herd. It costs no 
more to raise a good heifer than a poor 
one, and possibly less. In the past 15 
years the number of cows has decreased 
while the population has greatly in¬ 
creased, and the city dairyman is search¬ 
ing for good stock, since he cannot af¬ 
ford to raise calves to maturity on his 
high priced land and intensive methods. 
In the Middle West good cows bring 
better than $100 each, and some well- 
marked high-grade Ilolsteins have brought 
as high as $150 and $175. A near-city 
dairyman told the writer that he would 
be willing to pay from $100 to $125 for 
good young grade stock, and had tra¬ 
velled through the dairy sections of sev¬ 
eral States, and was able to secure only 
very ordinary farm stock at $125 the 
head. He suggested that where farmers 
secured low prices for their milk each 
farmer in the neighborhood should raise 
a half dozen good calves or more each 
year, so that several carloads could be 
secured in the community. The high 
class of buyers go where cattle in car¬ 
loads may be secured, and are willing to 
pay good prices. A buyer cannot afford 
to spend days chasing over a half dozen 
townships for ordinary stock, when he 
can go to a dairy section and pick out 
a carload in much less time. In Ohio, 
Geauga County is an excellent example 
of a dairy section attracting buyers for 
their particular breed. One dairyman 
told the writer that he had as many as a 
half a dozen buyers come to his farm in 
a single day, and that it was almost im¬ 
possible for him to keep a cow in the 
barn, the buyers pressed him so vigorous¬ 
ly and their prices were so attractive. 
‘‘The live stock sale is a success,’ 
declared a dairyman, "and I do not see 
why farmers do not associate in the pro¬ 
duction of young stock, advertise the 
sale well, and it will prove a profitable 
proposition.” Ile^is right. Cooperation 
in the production and sale of live stock 
is an easy matter, breed from good stock, 
stick to one breed and then when they 
are ready to be sold, secure good auc¬ 
tioneering service, advertise well, for ad¬ 
vertising is the means of securing buy¬ 
ers, and in view of the demand for dairy 
cattle there is no question about the ven¬ 
ture being an assured success. 
An Ohio breeder during the past Sum¬ 
mer spent fully a day each week endeav¬ 
oring to get his neighbors interested in 
purebred and good grade stock with the 
view of having later a community stock 
sale, and advertising it well. He says 
there will be more money for the com¬ 
munity, and lie cun afford to give his 
time, and leadership to the proposition, 
for it will mean good money for him 
later. Walter jack. 
Sale of German Hares. 
I have been told that a few years ago 
a number of German hares were brought 
into New York State and liberated. I 
would like to get some of these hares to 
set free here. Could I arrange with some 
one in New York State to catch the hares 
and ship them to me? j. v. 
Section 177 of the Conservation Law 
provides that game protected by law 
shall only be taken in the daytime with 
a gun fired at arm’s length, without rest, 
unless otherwise specifically permitted. 
There is no special provision permitting 
the taking of rabbits except that ferrets 
may be used when authorized by resolu¬ 
tion of the Commission in particular 
counties, except also that the owners of 
enclosed lands may cause rabbits to be 
taken, except by the use of ferrets, in 
any manner and at any time when such 
rabbits are injuring property. Under 
Section 19G the sale of rabbits during 
the open season is permitted, and rabbits 
lawfully taken may bo transported dur¬ 
ing the open season in any manner.

May oil bo kept for on© year on the product of one aero ofland. T’link of itl Keeping seven head of cattle^ 
for a year from one acre goes a long way towards reducing the cost of 70 tons and 800pounds of EUREKA. I 
CORN was raised on one acre in 1911, and we believe Eoreka Corn can still beat this, but no other kind ever haa I

This corn was planted last year by more successful farmers than any other variety, and it will produce 
more tons and more dollars worth of good milk-producing feed per acre than any other kind of corn. 
This has been proven many times over. Why plant corn that will only produce 15 to 25 tons per acre
