Value OF Pediqgees.

w NJ NcFadden. in an address BE-
| fore loNg swine breeders, said
OnS by the intelligent use of the
knowledge Of pedigrees have the best
results in breeding beeu obtained, and
yet nothing has been attended with
such disastrous results as the pedigree
craze. 1t seems quite impossible for
the average breeder to know just how
far to so with the use of the pedigree.
He learns to study pedigree so as to
derive the information he wants in re-
gard to What it means and to note the
effect Of blood lines in crossing and to
determine what might reasonably be
expected from an animal after the
proper study CT its ancestors. Having
attained some little success along this
line. a breeder IS almost sure to be-
come intoxicated with the pedigree
craze, and then comes the disaster,
both in a financial way and in the
breeding results. No man ever yet
made q success Who bred for pedigree
alone, and, on the other hand, 10 man
has ever made a permanent success
VINO dlsreSarGed peilgIse. pedigree
should be valuabl for the purpose of
showing the com ninglins OF blood
which produces certain results. A
well posted breeder soon learns that
certain families have peculiar char
acteristics and he may want just those
characteristics, or he may wish equal
ly as much to avoid them. 1t is unfor-
tunate, however, that the study Of ped
igree frequently leads to the use Of
an animal simply because it is we'll
bred In no way is it more possible to
perpetuate a certain undesirable quail
ity than by the use of II wellbred, or
so-called well-bred, scrub A thorough
knowledge of families will enable a
breeder to forsee certain results of de-
velopment in an animal that is Of
great advantage in determining it's
value.

How to Prevent Forest Fires.


The above is the question that is en-
gaging the attention of good many
people, especially those that are inter
ested in forestry. Minnesota has made
more experiments in this line than
probably any other state. Her great
forests have been SO many times fire.
swept that the legislature has taken
very keen interest in how to save
them. One plan, now being tried is
have the whole population organized
as fire brigade. The supervisors in
any town can call on all males over
IL years of age, whenever fire breaks
out. The idea is that such a fire must
be checked promptly, even if it takes
the whole population to do it. 1t is
said that no great forest fire has ever
been stopped while abundant material
remained to feed 1t. Against a great
forest fire the efforts of man are puny.
The unbearable heat prevents men
from getting near enough to throw
water on the flames. If the trees in
it's path be drenched with water, the
water is almost instantly evaporated
by the terrific heat of the incoming
flre-wave. 1t is therefore seen that
all the efforts must be made to pre-
vent such disasters. And disasters
they are, affecting every person in the
nation. Had there been no great for
est fires during the last fifty years it
is altogether probable that the price of
lumber would not be more than half
what it is at the present time. More
over, the sources of the streams be-
ing covered where they are now bare
would have saved numerous destruc-
tive floods and washouts. When it Is
remembered that single forest fires de-
stroy more timber than is used for
commerce during years time, and
when we remember that the number
of such fires in fifty years is legion,
we can see tt at the results of the con-
flagratioIs are far-reaching
1t is difficult to see how forest fires
can be prevented without more or less
of public control. When a multitude
of people claim ownership along the
edge of great forest, there is 70
way of preventing the owners from
starting fires On their premises, which
later get beyond control. In Germany
the Government long ago assumed the
ownership OF both public and private
forests. Forest fires are especially
guarded against, in some cases b,
what might be called fire-lanes
through the woods. The wood after
having been cut over must be so han
died that the brush and dead trees
will not remain on the ground to form
kindling wood for destructive confia-

Fatl.ess ls Not Health.

1t has been remarked that some
swine breeders mistake fatness for
health and vigor. Fat does sometimes
indicate thrift, but not always. When
a pig has been properly fed on bal.
anced rations and lays on fat it is an
indication OF yigor, for the animal is
getting the most possible out Of the
food. But when. the ration is one of
corn only and the pig gets fat the in.
dications are not such as may be
trusted to indicate health. The fat
comes in that case from an attempt
of nature to build up the body through
celebrating a large quantity of food
AS the food is in that case mostly
fat-forming a great deal OF fatty tis

Judging of Quality and Condition.

Quality is indicated by the hair,
bone and nature of flesh. The hair
should be fine, straight, thick and lie
close to the body. Coarse, wiry, swirly
hair is not desired as it is usually as
sociated with coarseness of frame and
undesirable feeding qualities. The
bone should be medium fine, enough
bone to carry the body is all that is
desired. Coarseness of bone is dis
eliminated against by the butchers;
1t is an indication of a tendency to
dress out large percentage of offal.
The flesh should be free from lumps
or krinkles, both of which are very TN.
desirable. The indications OF good
condition are a deep even covering of
hrm flesh, especially over the back
loin, hams and sides as they are the
region where the valuable cuts are
found.-Prof. Kennedy.

The Capon.

Il. Greiner: 1t is easier to castrate
a young cockerel than pig or a lamb.
1t is profitable in more ways than one
Once operated on, capons become the
most tractable and peaceable animals
imaginable. They do not run nor
chase nor fight. | will not say that
capons while young grow faster or lay
on more flesh from given amount of
food than unaltered males of the same
age do. AS long as the cockerel is
young enough so that no energy goes
into the reproductive organs, | think
their deve nent is about at an even
rate. But tAere is change after a
time. The development of the organs
OF reproduction in the male and his
growing activity and restlessness con
sumo energy, which in the capon is
saved for flesh production. Water
comes to certain degree of heat only.
All the excess above this is utilized
Tor the production of steam. 1t is the
same thing with the rooster. He
grows to a certain size or weight. and
all the surplus energy above this IS
used for the purpose of reproduction
In other words, the capon will con-
tinue to grow and lay on flesh much
longer than the unaltered male. 1t
takes year or more for the capon 10
come to his full size and weight, but
at that age he is much larger than the
rooster OF the same age, and several
times as aluable.-Farmers Review.

Cow Keepers, VS.. Dailymen.

A western writer says thai there are
many COW keepers, but f dairymen.
He distinguishes between the two
rather sharply He says thai the men
with dairy instincts come ont to hear
lectures on the feeding of the dairy
COW, they read how to hardle and
how to improve her, and the result is
that their out-turn of milk is very
greatly increased. The "cow-keep-
ers'' he describes as fossilized They
will not only not improve their dairy
cows, but they will not learn how to
feed to get the best results from what
they have. He cites the instance
where al one large creamery it was
found on investigation tia, the cows
were yielding only ten pounds OF milk
per day on the average and that, too,
in the flush OF the season. One of the
great troubles is that no COW census is
taken by most Of our milk-using in
stitutions, and the patrons are thus
not brought to realize that their cows
are giving a very small amount of
milk. Probably one of the best ways
to increase the production Of milk is
to take COW census every year ut
least, il not every six months, and then
show the patrons just what their cows
are doing When they have the fig
ures brought homo to them they Their
begin to wake up to the necessity OF
doing something. There are many
COW keepers that can be made into
good dairymen with a sufficient
