Controlling Sex in Breeding.
H. E. KENNEDY
Clerk.

For several years past different sug-
gested modes of controlling sex IL
breeding domestic animals have been
kept in mind in the cattle breeding op
the university farms.
One result of these observations has
been to suggest an explanation of some
of the many positive statements that
a given theory had been proven cor
rect In several cases we have had a
noticeable series of calves of one sex
so noticeable in number that, had
the COWS been bred in accordance with
any one method or theory for con-
trolling sex there would have been a
natural disposition to pronounce the
theory proven untrue or false.
At times there seems striking ten
dency to the production of animals OF
one sex, either as the progeny of the
sire or of one or more females. The
Shorthorn bull Oxford Mazurka 30199
gave us nearly three heifers to one bull
calf, for three successive years. On
the other hand, a majority of the
calves of his get during the last few
months he was in use were bulls
Three shorthorn COWS in the herd had
given six. five and four calves OF the
same sex in succession, then dropped
one of opposite sex.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-11-01

We have not found that reliance can
be placed in the theories that sex can
be controlled by service near COM
mencement or near close of heat; be-
fore or after milking, or by having the
animals coupled of different ages. On
the other hand, we have not, in Sc
ries of years, been able to say positive
ly that what is known as the Stuyve-
SAINT theory has been proven incorrect
unless cases of production of twins
of opposite sex can be counted viola
ton of the theory.
This theory is that conception at al
ternate periods of heat will produce
offspring of different sex. The method
of application is: A COW having pro-
duced a calf, and it being desired to
have the next of the same sex, the COW
should be served at the second, fourth,
or sixth heat, until she stands to the
service. If calf of opposite sex be
desired, she should be served at the
first, third, or fifth heat.
1t is not held that our observations
prove this theory correct; simply that
we have not found, with certainty, ex-
ceptions to it in our herds. 1t not I'M
frequently happens that the NANTES
tations of heat in cow are so slight
or pass away so quickly that they may
not be detected; hence this theory may
be correctly held to have been sus-
tanned or it's correctness disproved.
During the present season, test has
been made of the theory that the sex
of the young can be controlled by half
castration of the animal-it frequently
being stated that semen from the right
testicle will produce only male, that
from the left only female offspring.
The left testicle was removed from
boar pig. Three sows afterward brec
to him produced filters in each or
which were pigs of both sexes, in near
" equal number. The castratlon was
done when the pig was quite young,
and no other boar could have had &C
cess TO the sows. In this case the re-
suit was directly at variance with the
theory. A former attempt at a like
test. in which the boar was half cas-
trated and each SOW had one ovary
removed, failed through death OF the
sows when apparently in pig.
In this connection it may be SAID
there Sc GEMS conclusive evidence that
q COW on the farm became with call
from service by yearing at least
five days after his castration.- Illinois

STOCK
National Live Stock Association.
Denver. Colo, Oct. II. 1904

DOhNOA, OOlO'J WV. IL, 1OV1'
To the members of the National
Live Stock Association: Mr.. Charles
F. Martin, secretary of this associa-
ton, almost since it's organization,
died suddenly at Greeley, Colorado,
on September 21st, 1904, as result
of hemorrhage Of the lungs.
At the time of his death, Mr.. Martin
was enroute from Denver to Casper,
Wyoming, on Association business.
At a meeting of the Board of Control
he'd in Denver to consider the va
cancy caused by the death of Mr.
Martin, it was decided that no appoint
ment would be made until the conven-
ing of the next annual convention
which is to be held in Denver the
week of January 9th, 1905. The af-
fairs of the association were placed
under the active direction of a COM
mittee, consisting of Fred P. John
son, George w. Ballantine and George
l.. Goulding, of Denver, with H. E.
Kennedy as clerk in charge of the
secretary's office. Communications
may be addressed to H. E. Kennedy
Clerk Natl. Live Stock Assn, Denver
Colo.
The Board Of Control is of the Opin-
ion that at the coming annual conven-
ton, steps should be taken looking to
to partial reorganization of the as
ISOLATION upon lines that will permit
of more extensive and practical work
than has heretofore been accom-
plished. The demand for an organ
ization representing all of the various
branches of the live stock industry
has become so strong, that at the
coming convention an effort will be
made to so amend the constitution
and bylaws, as to make this organ
ization the strongest industrial asso-
citation in the country.
The officers of the association have
received assurances from prominent
stockmen and others, of both moral
and financial support, providing such
action is taken at our coming conven-
ton as will put the association upon
broader and more conservative basis
than has heretofore obtained. To Sc,
cure this result, it will be necessary
TO thoroughly revise our constitution
and bylaws so as to better equa'ize
the representation and provide basis
of active cooperation between the
many allied interests that are con-
nected with the industry.
The local committee in charge of
headquarters will address you later
and more in detail upon these plans.
BY order of the Board of Control.

Feeding of Roots.

In Europe, where corn is
MT grown to any extent, man
giles and other roots are the
succulent food for milk COWS
and other stock. The feeding
of roots to stock is being
practiced more and more in
this country. Like various
other foods, roots are more
valuable and convenient to
feed when cut or sliced, and
the Rapid" Cutter and Slicer.
shown here, is an excellent
machine for this purpose, with
large capacity. 1t is simple
and not liable to get out of
order.
The three cutting knives on
the fly wheel follow closely
after small projecting slicing
or Sitting knives, which cut
at right angles to the edge
of the cutting knives, thus
reducing the material to a
very nice condition of feeding.
The hopper bottom is of slant
ing cast grating, which allows
dirt, gravel or foreign matter
to fall through and thus be
kept separate from the cut
fer d.
The opposite side of the
hopper is solid, and entirely
covers up the fly wheel and
knives, so that children or
others around the machine
cannot come in contact with
these parts.
The shaft is cold rolled steel
fitted with crank for hand
use. When ordered a 10-incn
diameter, 4-inch face pulley
is furnished at small addition
al cost. The frame is hard
wood and strong, being bolted
through at the legs with tie
rods running clear through.

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Russian Ships Withdraw From Fight
 Because of Weak Armor.

Special to the New York Tribune.
 Washington, August ,S.-Naval ex. perts continue to discuss the encounter at sea between the Russians and the Japanese, and they find some of their theories sustained. Most of them be- lieve that the Russian ships have not been seriously injured, and that the vessels were not withdrawn from the fight on this account They say that the defeat was probably due to the effect of the fire of the big guns of the Japanese on the unprotected parts of the Russian ships. One of the defects in the latter has been the lack of thick armor the failure to shield the medium calibre guns, where most of the men were stationed. It is believed, there fore, that the Japanese fire must have penetrated to those parts of the ve5- seis, and by killing large numbers of men compelled retreat. It is believed that after the vessels are examined they will be found 1t for service, with their big guns unimpaired, an escape due to the protection afforded by turret armor.
 The comparison or the marksman- ship of the adversaries leaves every thing in favor of the Japanese. and this probably led them to do their fighting at long range, which would place 2 less sldllful opponent at great disad- vantage. While nothing is given out regarding the Japanese, it is presumed that the ships of that belligerent suf- fered also, although evidently not in the same degree as the Russians. 1t is observed, however that the Japan csc kept out of the way, and used their marksmenship with long range guns in preference to any dependence upon the dash or fighting at close quarters. It is believed that the results of tho engagement, when they are fully known, will sustain the latest theory in favor of the battery of the largest possible calibre and the abandonment of the medium calibre guns, which cannot be well protected
 The experts believe that it is only question or a short time when Port Arthur will fall. pending which it ia the Japanese plan to keep the Russian vessels in that harbor, in order that with the equalization will come the self-destruction of the Russian guns-
