STOCK BREEDING.
n Is a Science That Requires Much
study.


Breeding is a science when it is done
for the purpose of arriving at results
which are sought as a possibility, al
though the breeder may begin in
manner that does not apparently war
rant him In proceeding with his VEN
ture, says the Philadelphia Record
Some breeders, among them Bakewen
and Western, were 30 years in perfect
ing one breed OF sheep and swine. Ev-
cry animal sold by them put the pur-
chaser 80 years ahead in the line of i'm
provement. They simply selected the
best for the breeding purposes every
year and were compelled to inbred
their animals in order TO fix their char
acteristics The farmer must pursue
the same course with his herds and
tiocks, and he must make his selections
each year by discarding every animal
that does not come up to a certain
standard of excellence, and he must
never become discouraged, as even the
most skilful breeders do not succeed
in securing but a few very valuable
specimens each year, though an i'm
provement will be noticed every sea-
son. The gain is but little, and skill is
essential but in time the stock differs
greatly from the original. Should eX-
traorlinary excellence be observed in
certain individuals the breeder may
abandon his plans and methods and
start on new lines of breeding, as he
learns by experience during his prog
ress and takes advantage of accident
or discoveries. but he always adheres
to his original object of making a
breed that is to be adapted to a special
purpose.
Even among the best breeds of live
stock some individuals will be more
valuable for certain uses than others,
and those with the highest records
may not display their best points Of
excellence until selected for breeding.
This Is evidenced by the wonderful
running horses of half century ago
Lexington and Glencoe. The first held
the four mile record for over 90 years.
while the latter was one of the flcetcst

country. Neither left a son that was
a successful sire, but the daughters
of both were the danes of the best
horses of their day, and their descend
ants are the leaders of the turf in both
countries at the present time, there
being but few Derby wirDers that
have not descended from Glencoe.
Among cattle the same has occurred.
Jupiter Rioter, Stoke pogis, Coomas-
sic, Eurotus and other individuals
founded families of Jerseys that have
made that breed famous. yet there
were hundreds of Jerseys In existence
and the breed had already established
IT'S claim as ranking high for produC-
ing butter. Any breed will lose it's
prestige If the selection of the best in
dividuals is not strictly adhered to,
and all breeders rely more upon the
exploits of certain members of their
herds or tlocks than upon the whole,
for no matter how careful the breeder
may be or how iudiciously he may
mate his animals lie will have some
that will fall below the standard of
excellence.

settled down to repose in the place
where darkness overlook him and slept

There were two bright orbs on each

fly can look in every direction at once

six long legs are each five jointed, so
that he can run about with great MINI

limbs are the neat little pads upon the
feet. These ACT as suckers to enable
the insect to walk straight up walls or
across ceilings. On the last joint OF
each foot two little hair covered claws
are to be found. The hairs are useful
in assisting the fly to climb about.

The fy's body is divided into three
sections. The first one, the head, con

have studied flies think that the insect
hears and smells. The second section
of the body or the chest is square and
subdivided into thru sections or rings.
