The Right Sire

The selection of the right sire mould be the aim of every live- stock owner. There can be no more potent means of achieving success in rim cattle production business than through the use of the right bull

The thought of achievement I- long any line provides a bit of en-

suggest three measuring sticks by which to record the ascomp1iIh- rnelit of a herd bull. They are the jobs he is called upon to do, First. he should correct weahieues ex- istent in the cow hard. He should establish uniformity through re- plscelnt-nis in the herd-calf crops will reflect this unifomiity. Laet- not least,-he should bring about imprnrr-rnnnt.

Psu-ii.-spa either of these ae- cmnpllslinu-hts would seem luf- ficicnl in itself. However. the im- proviiig bull is expected to score lugh on all three, There is a signi- ficitrlt obligltion on the owner. It in that he procure in each succes- live sirc used a better one than his previous bull-if the key point is constant improvement This is the reason for the qualification. BY! improving herd sire.

Comments concerning the place

production should always include both branches of the business- rurebrcd and commercial. on many ooc ' the question has been asked of both purebred Ind conimemlal herd owners as to whiiv is the most important in- iluoncr iil their business. In all in- -s the answer was. without . '.

Of course there were no stream: discernibly running into or out of N115 huke pond; wherever these were. they would be under the surface. Jerry trained his eyes in a futile endeavor to look any dis- tance downward. The depth was great, the fall precipitous-that was the extent of his preliminary survey.

should he seek no further? The heat was oppressive in this on- closure. He stripped and dived, if only for a swim.

There lay that old derrick. A rock had caught it as it fell. and still held; at a considerable "height. its upper end. Jerry climbed. It held him. He poised and. putting all his force into the plunge. dived again.

Down he went into those cold recesses-far down. There was a sound as of thunder in his ears. the pressure as of mountains upon his chest. Little light could strug- gle this far; he could see nothing.

He could feel, though. There came into play another force be- sides Ihe usual opposition to such progress. and working at a right angle to it. Quiet as the lake seem- ed in its upper regions. down here a. current ruled. It caught him. swung him around - drove him hard toward what he decided was the foundation of that cliff from which he had first seen the ruins of the mine.

More thought there was no time for. He was being hurried to some subterranean outlet. to underearih caverns where death would be quick and certain. I-Ie flung his body around as far as he could. To make any headway directly against this stream was impos- sible; his one hope was to fight indirectly across it.

The thing seemed alive and im- placabie. He was wrestling with a Titan bent upon his destruction. I-ifs nrms ached; for every inch may moved. they had to push away what felt like tons of water. Surely he hadn't but one stroke more left in him . . .

Yet he made that frantic stroke and won to momentary safety. The horrid hold that had gripped him snapped. lie catapulted to the surface and found himself claw- ing impotently the smooth rock of the inner cliff.

CHAPTER FIVE

His perils weren't yet past. He spent a long and frantic minute seeking some support. Knd did finally discover an outthrust rock. He drew himself up. '

"I wonder." he gasped. "if the late Joseph Slinn felt like I did. In that case-sorry. Drowning's a rotten death."

The valley stretched away with neither house nor man in sight The turquoise surface of the lake was unruffied.

"I'il bet there's a creek on the other side of here - somewhere back below Ironburg." said Jerry. gradually recovering his breath. "And that's where this under- ground spring empties. It may rise in a. subterranean spring. but it's on its way somewhere. all right."

He was fit at last to regain his clothes. He had to swim across to them-the foot of these cum weri too steep to furnish means for a shore promenade - and he dread- ed coanmitting his body once more to the ls-ke'a tender mercies.

However. the thing was accom- plished. He dressed and returned

TOURIST CABINS AND MOM

"You'd never guess what Ted and I had words about." laugh- ed Marian Gay. Marian is only

but he gave her a diamond, I very modest diamond to be sure. at chr tmas, and they hope to be marred in the not too distant future. .

"Could be Ted wanted to go to the hockey game. and you pre- ferred to dance." we ventured. "Or he didn't notice your pretty dress. Or forgot your birthday."

Marian was disappointed in us and rightly. "You don't think we quarrel about such silly things," she frowned. "Remember. even if we are young. we've been friends for years and should know each other's ways. I might as well tell you. Ted said he'd never marry me if I intended to become a perfect housekeeper!"

"'1'-hat is a new onel" we ex- claimed. "Do tell us more."

"Well, as you know,''. said Mar- ian. "I've been going to school at night to learn sewing. I can cook pretty well too. but I felt. my gen- eral housekeeping could be improv- ed. We were never very orderly

are books and papers and records scattered about, and nothing looks shining and waxed and everything in its place like Ted's home. Of course we love it that way and Mom and Dad think it's all -right too. But I got to thinking that maybe Ted worried that I'd be a careless housekeeper.

"Ted". I asked him the other ,night. 'do you think your mother iwould give me some fine points in housekeeping? I know I'm not too orderlyi'

"Well, I never saw him get so upset over anything! 'You'n or- derly enough for me,' he almost shouted,' and if you get any no- tions about perfect housekeeping, I won't marry you!"

When Ted came to call for Max- ian. he filled in the story. Young people like Ted and Marian- and there are many-should re- assure older folks about the pre- sent generation. Their frank and comradely yet. loving relationship with each other gives promise of a fine and understanding home.

"I know I am emotional about this "perfect: houeekeping." he admitted. but the three of us and Dad, lived with it for years. Poor Mom! she had been in business with her father before she was married and I have heard him say she was worth more than any two men he employed after she left. e had loved her work and her importance. She told Dad she didn't like farm life and was always nagging him to move to 'town and open a store of some kind.
