variety Is fixed by constant and judi
clOus selection from generation to gem
Grafton. With the ordinary grower OF
plants-the farmer, gardener, or other
persons raising plants from the seed for
tho cfop-selection is usually the only
practical method for changing the type,
or, what is still more often wished, main
tanning the type or variety at its present
standard. The farmers chief care is to
prevent desirable variety which he has
from deteriorating. The seed dealer pro-
duces the varieties but frequently does
not grow them long enough to fix the
characters. Hence the buyer finds that
unless he purchases new seed each year
his variety is running out. A few simple
rules for fixing and maintaining Varie-
ties are appended.
(D Give best of tilIage to those plants
from which seed Is to be gathered.
(2) The more generations the seed is
selected for certain character, the more
strongly is that character fixed; and, on
the other hand, the more strongly char
acter is fixed, the more slowly will 1t lose
this character or run out"
(3) Grow the parent plants where they
will not cross or mix with other va
rieties.
(D In selecting the seed, choose a
plant in which the parts are uniform
that is, consider the plant as a whole
rather than any particular branch. In
a plant which has mostly inferior fruit
but which has one large fruit, seeds
from this large fruit are not so likely to
transmit the size as II the seeds are
chosen from a plant in which the fruit
Is uniformly large
(5) Finally, to maintain the standard,
selection must be made each year. Plants
which as a rule self-fertilize, such as the
small grains, do not tend to run out so
rapidly as cross-fertilized sorts, such as
peas, beans, melons and tomatoes.

Corn Stalk Disease.

Every fall more or less cattle are killed
from eating cornstalks in the field. Some
say that it is caused by a fine poisonous
powder which can be easily seen be-
ween he leaf and the stalk Whatever
causes it the fact remains that more or
less cattle are lost from being turned into
the stalk fields in the fall. When first
turned in they should not be permitted
to remain in the corn field more than an
hour the first day, and two hours the
second day, gradually lengtheRing the
time each day for the first week and
after that they can remain in the field
all day without apparent injury. In this
way they become used to eating the dry
corn leaves and husks gradually and are
not liable to be injured by them Young
calves should not be turned into the
cornstalk field at all, but corn stalks, If
needed for their feed, should be cut and
shocked while the stalks are green and
Juicy and then fed to them in the yard
or stable where they are kept. Cattle
running in cornstalk fields should be
supplied with plenty of good water and
have salt where they can have access to
1t every day.

would be about perfect, but when that is
done he feels that he would like little
better feet, and so on. The work Of i'm
provement is never done. The ideal Of
to-day may be attained tomorrow, but
not that of tomorrow. The way thought
full breeders are seeking to do tO-mor-
rows work is by keeping up the stand
ard Of individual excellence to the high
est notch, seeking 1t in the best blood
to be found, but not accepting even the
best blood If the excellence that should
accompany it is not there. The princi-
pies that control continued Improvement

ways been. The ideas just advanced are

The Stock Market.

The stock market at Kansas City
shows a constant and rapid growth The
receipts of cattle at that market during
October were 231 900, an increase Of 43,
500 over the same month year ago. The
top price for native steers was $3.50,
which is about the average for that
month during the last twelve years. Dur
ing the last week Of October 94S car
loads, containing 1889 feeders, were
shipped from Kansas City to the cOun-
try, 446 cars going into Kansas, 1913 cars
to Missouri, Il to Nebraska and the rest
to other States. The hogs received at
Kansas City during October amounted to
239, 500, being an increase Of 1900 over
the same month last year. The total re-
ceipts Of hogs for the month Of October
at the four great markets, Chicago, st.
Louis, Kansas City, and Omaha, were
I, ,285, 400 and the receipts at these mar
kets for the first ten months Of the year
1893 were 12,720,SOO.
The cattle supply generally, over the
country shows a great decrease, both in
the States and on the ranges. But in
Kansas the assessors returns show de-
Cided increase in the number Of cattle
this year being 1895, ,140, which Is an in
crease OF 1877 over the year 1897. Hogs
also show an increase In Kansas OF $685.
577 over 1897, but sheep have decreased
1921 and horses show decrease OF

Seed Breeding.

The Kansas Experiment Station has
issued a bulletin upon the subject Of seed
breeding from which we gather the fol-
lowing important information:
I'm practical seed breeding 1t Is, Of
course, the aim to tx certain desirable
characters. Before q character can be
fixed 1t must be originally present. The
breeder can not produce at will new
character; he can only make greater or
less, a character already present. A stock
breeder could not produce breed Of
cattle with third horn on the forehead
unless the character appeared sponta-
neOusly In some individual. But he can
breed OFF" the horns that are there by
proper selection. The same Is true Of
plants. A spontaneous variation along a
certain line may be perpetuated, or fixed;
or a normal character may be made
greater or less.
The variability in the offspring may
be increased in various ways, such as
artificial crossing, increase or alteration
Of food supply, and similar means; but

Improving stock.

One of the prominent and encouraging
features that marks the present condi-
tiOn Of the pure bred swine industry is
the disposition manifested by buyers to
be more exacting In their demands and
to see that they are getting their moneys
worth. There Is tendency to Judge Of
animals more by what they have done
or are likely to do In the breeding pen
than by the achievements of their ances-
tors In the show or sale ring. Good
breeding is valued, as 1t ought to be, and
fashionable breeding still has its intiu-
ence, as 1t always must have with buyers
who look forward to its effects on the
future sale Of the get, but individuality
is having more weight, and careful sem
sible breeders are not disposed to use
an animal merely on the strength Of the
price his sire or dam sold for. This Is a
healthy symptom, and breeders In whom
II is well developed will be able to keep
on improving their herds, getting rid Of
defects and weak places and strengthen
Ing good points for many years to come.
No man has ever yet seen breed that

ideals become higher in the standards
they impose and the same is true of
herds. The progressive breeder thinks
