For government Aid.

A bill of considerable Importance
to horse owners and breeders has
been introduced in the senate. 1t is
intended to improve the breeding of
horses and provides for government
supervision. A board of three Off
GERS to be appointed by the secretary
of war and twelve practical horse
breeders to be appointed by the Sec
rotary of agriculture, are to consti-
tute a committee for improvement il
breeding. This board will have the
backing of the department of agri-
culture and the government will hold
a fair every year when awards will
be made to the most successful horse
breeders. 1t is hoped that this bill
will pass. If it should it would prob
ably be followed by the early pas
sage of similar bills for the improve
ment of other branches of the live
stock industry. The United States
should set the pace in this improve
ment of live stock. Medals conferred
by the government on breeders for
the production of something unusu-
ally fine in cattle, hogs, sheep or
horses would prove greater stimu-
lus to the study of breeding.-Chi-

Cottonseed meal should be careful
ly excluded from the food rations of
ewes from this time on while carry
ing lamb. The root of the cotton
plant has an especially i'll effect on
pregnant animals of all kinds, and is
the especial ingredient in medicines
given to avoid or destroy pregnancy.
AS rule every part of medicinal
plant has similar character to the
root or the fruit. hence this kind of
oil meal should never be fed to breed
ing animals at such times, as this
i'll influence might be disastrous.
Corn is the best standard food for in
lamb ewes, and it is not in any way
injurious. Ewes carrying lambs are

sential steps to. produce that results.
Isn't this fact as strange as any flo
ton? And is it not fact? Farm
crops are all bringing high prices and
seed will become correspondingly
high, probably two or three times the
price of the staple article, and many
farmers will save few dollars by
using the common market grade for
seed and lose as much in the dimin-
ished product of one acre as the total
cost of good seed for his entire crop.
This is not a new thing. 1t is done
to a considerable extent every year.
Every farmer who feels is pride in
his business should grow his own
seeds, for all staple crops at least,
and thus improve his products from
year to year, just as he would grade
up his cattle, or hogs or fowls by in
Producing pure-bred males The only
difference is, in one case improved
vegetable and in the other improved
animal seed is used. Those who for
any reason prefer not to grow their
own seed, should purchase from those
who do, and as much care in selection
should be used as if he were buying
q pure-bred bull or boar, or cock, and
the price should be secondary con-
sideration. Every reason that is good
i'm one case is equally good in the
other. Did the Georgia farmer who
made more than 200 bushels of corn
on one acre, select his seed from the
corn bulked in the crib? Did the
North Carolina farmer who grew q.
240 pounds, or five bales, of lint cot
ton on an acre, take his seed '.just as
they camel" DO the products that
bring the highest price on the market
come from seed taken lad scatter
DUMP" or carefully selected from
previous crops bred for the purpose
of developing the highest quality as
well as the greatest yield? The temp
tation will be strong the coming sea-
son TO plant just such seed as may
be on hand, for it will be both cheap
and better than none." But this is q
consolation that does not console,
and the day of reckoning comes with
the harvest. 1t is a fact, and strange
one too, that farmers give but little
attention to the seed they plant. This
is mistake that should not be con-
tinued, for by its practice the farm
er, at the very opening of the season
takes step that will absolutely pro-
hibit the best results from the sea-
sons work.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

FACT VERSUS FICTION.
The Farmer Can Not PrOdace coed
Crops From Poor seed Nor Good
stock From scrub Animals.

Facts are frequently very strange
things-"stranger than felton,. as
we are told. We could state a large
number of facts, which for features
of extravagant hyperbole, would tax
the credulity of simplicity's self, as
much as the masterpiece of Ger
nantes. But single strange fact will
serve to illustrate the theory, and
that is all we shall attempt in this
brief article. Every farmer knows,
II he knows anything worth mention
ing, that good crops do not come
from bad seed; that the order Of ma
ture is that like produces like; that
whatever man soweth that shall he
also reap;" that the order of repro
AUCTION is the same in both plants
and animals; that If bad seed will
produce good crops, the scrub stock
will produce pure-bred' animals, and
the men who pay high prices for
breeding stock are fools welded to
their folly. And yet there are farm
ers who would never permit an in
ferior animal, If he had one, to
propagate his kind. but who win
plant any sort Of seed, il it is only
sound, and then grumble at harvest
time because his crop is short in both
yield and quality. Is there any more
absurdity in Don Quixtoe running .
