CONDENSED from FarmerS Review
stenographic ReportJ
At the last annual meeting Of the
American Galloway Breeders assocta-
ton, Mr.. o. H. Swigart Of Illinois
read a paper on in-breeding in which
he showed the evil effects OF close in
breeding as demonstrated BY expert
ments made by Darwin and others
in the animal and vegetable kingdoms
and enforced his argument by . lons
list of great winners In the great cat
tie show rings in whose pedigrees no
ancestor appeared twice, such a. has
sanio, Clark's old bull. Pauline. WIN
ner at Omaha. Preside King. Duke
Walter, etc. He said in closing MS
paper:
While under certain circumstances
1t may be a good thing to in-breed'
and would always inbred In prefer
ence to using an inferior animal. still
I take it as q good omen OF the 1u'
ture of the Galloways that our van.
ners are not all descended from one
sire like the favorites In the Short
horns. While some Of our breeders
have resorted to i1-breedtnG. they
have not been suniciently successaul
to encourage them to enter the Iista
against those diversely bred. While
would not advise departing from the
Galloway type. still, let US be sure
our ideal of the type Is correct and
keep nothing our judgment tells :ua
is bad even though told 1t is race
characteristic. Never hesitate to make
a change when improvement Is called
for. The best is none too good. Only
the most careful selection will secure
the best"
Some discussion followed the paper
Mr.. J. NJ. Lowe said: Il do not BE-
lieve a little bit in practicing In
breeding. In the hands OF such 4
genius as Bates was thought to be u
might be practiced to a limited ex'
tent, but the majority OF US ouSh,
never to seek 1t in my judgment. !.
think it has resulted In deterioration
in other breeds of cattle and the same
result must be produced In all breeds
Mr.. e. W. Thrall said: "As the
Galloways have been for untold gen'
erations in their native land. inbred
ing would necessarily occur to grea'
extent there, and have no doubt thai
the Galloway in his native country
has been greatly hurt by that process;
but, as Mr.. Swigart intimates In ona
portion of his paper, . change frou
one land to another, the different en-
vironment by which those herds wers
surrounded would give different char.
acteristics to those cattle. Now when
we have the cattle on this side OF tn
ocean and have breeders who arr
breeding these cattle in the north and
south, the east and the vest, We car
take advantage of all those diheren'
environments. and surely from th1s
time on there will be no excuse foi
what Mr.. Swigart regards as one o.
the most dangerous experiments FOL
Galloway breeders to make.

The Tennessee Experiment Station
has been studying the leguminous
plants, clover. beans. peas. alfalfa.
sofa beans. locust, vetches. Wild pea
vines, etc., and the best methods OF US
ing them for improving the soil and
feeding stock.
The microbes occur in most fertile
soils and multiply when their own
plant is present. The special micr0be
may be introduced by distributing soil
in which this plant has grown success
fully. For example, II clover does not
grow we'll on q suitable soil. take the
fine earth, one to three inches from
the surface OF a field where 1t has
grown we'll, distribute and work into
the soil. Freezing. drouth. and kainite
kill these microbes. Cultivating one
leguminous plant upon the soil seems
to run out the microbes OF the others.
For example. when cow-peas have been
long cultivated in field 1t may be
necessary to introduce the clover mi
crobe. "ClOver-sick" probably results
from the increase of humic acids which
kill the clover microbes. Lime cor
rects this.
In nature the balance of nitrogen
in the soil is kept up by wild legumin-
GUS plants. like locusts. wild pease.
vetches. beggar-lice, etc. In farm prac-
tice. when We grow non-leguminous
plants, We must keep up the balance OF
nitrogen by using legumes in our ro-
tation. The best legumes for us to use
are cow-peas. clover. alfalfa. sofa
beans, beans. and pease.
Cow-pease are best sown in the
spring, though If the season is favor
able they may he sown as late as July

dies ON the market. The production
of preparations Of injurious composi.
ton cannot. unfortunately. be stopped
or restricted at present. or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
as will enectually prevent their ap-
pearance on the market. In the mean
time, the people must look out Ior

Many of the catarrh remedies on the
