nnffE science of breeding t* .very 1 , ■ complicated, but there axel ! JL tome points that should be on- . derstood and followed by ev- . ery farmer. No matter bow wall stock j , may be fed and cared for, If they do I 1 not have the Inherited capacity to: transform their feed economically Into ' milk or beef or power they will al- . ways be "scrubs." On the other band, j poor feeding and care may make a scrub out of an animal which baa the Inherited ability to develop Into eome- 1 thing much better. To attain the best reeults breeding, feeding and Intelligent care must go hand inland. Purr bred stock not oiuy have the ! abllltj to make much more profitable use of the food given them, but they 1 also add greatly to the appearance of the place. A pasture dotted with well bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep marks the owner as a progressive • farmer. There Is a great deal more pleasure, too. In caring for good stock ■ than there Is In vainly trying tp get , unprofitable animals Into market condition. The first thing to consider tn start- | tug in with pure bred stock la what

[Note the high prices of the beck end ' lotn-J breed to select. Do not make a hasty choice, for nothing will ruin your chances of success more certainly than frequent changes from one breed to 1 another. Select your breed with care and then stick to It All the leading breeds have good points, and the matter of selection Is more a question of 1 Individual preference than anything 1 else. In beginning with pure bred stock 1 the best plan for the average farmer to follow Is to purchase a pure bred male of the desired breed and proceed to grade up his herd. There are two principles of breeding tba't should be kept In mind In this work. The first b the old law that 'like produces like.". In the main this law holds good, and. other things being equal, the offspring will resemble the parents. The second Is the law of "atavism," or the tendency of the offspring to take after some remote ancestor. This Is where the value of the pure bred sire comes In. His ancestors for generations have . been animals of the same type as himself. and hence there is little chance of his progeny differing from this type to any serious extent This long con- , tinned breeding along a certain line 1 gives to the pare bred animal an abll- < lty to reproduce his type that the I grade sire lacks. This ability is called prepotency. Because of his great prepotency a pure bred bull when mated to grade j cows has much more Influence over i the characters of his offspring than ] j the mothers have. This is most striking- ■ j ly shown when a polled bull Is mated | to horned cows. Nine out of every 1 ten of the calves will usually be polled, j It is the same with other characteristics—the ability to quickly turn corn ■ j into high priced beef or to use the feed I for profitable milk and butter production. Of course If the cows are pure bred 1 also there b less chance of the calves resembling some inferior ancestor on their mother's Bide, and Improvement will be more rapid and certain. The ! cost of an entire herd of pure breds is very great, however, and profits will I eome more surely by the grading up ! plan. After this baa been carried on for a time, so that the farmer has some experience In breeding and caring for high class stock, a gradual start In pure bred females may be mane by buying a cow and calf or : ' few yearling heifers. As the offspring ; of these Increase the number of pure _ I breds In the herd the grades can gradually be disposed of until an entire I pure bred herd finally results. In the selection of a sire to begin grading up a herd it Is Important that be be of the type which it b desired to reproduce in the offspring. The most ' Important things- to look for to a beef bull are constitution, form, quality and 1 thick fleshing. Of tbepe constitution Is probably the most Important as a • bull that to strong In this point will have the ability to sire a large number of rugged, healthy calves. Constitution is Indicated by a deep, wide chest; large "barrel." giving plenty of . robm for the digestive organs; good ; sired nostrjls and a large, clear eye. A point that must go with constitution 1 If the best results are to be obtalued ! Is prepotency. Prepotency means the i ability of a sire to reproduce his good j points to bis offspring- It b indicated ( by a heavy crest and a masculine looktog bead. A ball that has a fine, fernInlne appearing head will not be at all , certain of producing good calves, even | though he Is a good Individual him- , self. Constitution and prepotency are of

and bind quarters of a beef animal 1 are the parts .that produce the high priced meat. Great width hU along I the back, especially over the loin; I good spring of rib, plenty of depth i and short legs are points that should be looked for. Long legged hulls an ^ usually narrow and rangy. The lags . | are of little value as meat, so the shorter they are the better. Quality b shown by fineness of 1 hair, pliability of hide and not too *| much coarseness of shoulder, bead and bone. An animal with good quality will furnish a better grade of meat and there will to leas waste la Thickness of flesh to one of the most Important points to look for. By this b meant not fat but the natural covering of lean meat Fat can be put on during the feeding period, but lean meat cannot An animal that la thickly muscled at the beginning of the feeding period will furnish a carcass that will to well marwith streaks of fat and lean, while another on the same feed will put most of hb fat on to the form of tallow. These same points are the essential ones to look for to the selection of a ram or boar. 8trong constitution, wide, deep, blocky form, fine quality and thick fleshing are ju«t important to these animals as to the bull. Of course It will be Impossible to find an animal that Is perfect to all points. If the females to your herd are badly lacking In any particular be sure to select a male that to especially strong there. On the other hand, a slight weakness on the part of the sire to a place where the females are especially strong may to overlooked. An animal that has any very serious faults, however, should not be considered for a moment Dairy bulb lack tbe flpehtng and compactness that characterise beef animals. Low sethess and extra width of back are net so essentlaL Constitution, as shown by a deep chest wide on the bottom and a rodmy barrel, to Important A -clean head, smooth shoulder, fine limbs and pliable skin show tbe quality that is^jm so necessary to a dairy animal. most important point b prepotrfcy. A strong chest, masculine bea<| and brge rudimentary teats are all indications of thb. The best way to forecast a dairy bull's prepotency, however, b to look up tbe milk and butter producing records of hb dam and granddams. A bull out of a high producing cow will almost certainly beget heifers that will be high yieldera. The most Important points to look for in draft horses, which are the most profitable kind to raise on the farm, are power and endurance. Power b indicated by stoe. compactness and heavy muscling, especially In the hind quarters. Endurance b shown by a strong constitution and fine quality, especially of limbs. ' Strict observance of these points to tbe selection of u sire of any kind will | give yon uti uulinal that will to a few I years bring about a great Improvement in your herd. Pedigree should not be neglected entirely in picking out a sire. Its chief value b In showing that tbe animal b pare bred and that his ancestors were of tbe type which you wish to develop to your ; , herd. To determine the latter point, however, requires a longer stndy of herd books than most farmers have time for. If you put the chief stress upon tbe Individuality of the animal and file tbe pedigree away to a drawer where It can be referred to when necessary you will notfgo far wrong. When yon have found an animal of the desired type do not hesitate too

long over the price. A hundred and fifty dolbis may look like a big price to paj° for a bull, but an Increase of $2 a head to tbe value of the calf crop will pay for him In two er three yean. In many cases you may to aMe to join with two or three of your nearest neighbors to tbe purchase of a bull, thus not only Bavtog money, but also obtaining a better animal than you would to able to secure otherwise. Thb applies with still more force to < the purchase of a stallion. In many communities It b Impossible to secure the services of a first class horse of any breed. In such a case If fifteen or twenty farmers will agree upon a _ ] and subscribe $100 each a horse can be procured that will almost pay for himself to tbe Increased value of hb first crop of colts.
