IMPOSE a system of handwriting upon him

suppressing his individuality in this &C.

accompanies a mode of expression fitting

STICK TO TYPE IN HORSE BREED.
INC s

Probably n of the strongest factors
acting against profitable horse breed
ing is the failure OF farmers to stick TO
type, the indiscriminate selection of
sires, ~patronizing a sire because ne is
owned by a friend whom the breeder
wishes 10 help, the failure to study the
laws that govern breeding, and Of am
attempt TO produce an ideal.
breeding is not a thing OF chance
1T is governed by certain natural laws
with which every breeder should be
conversant. These. laws are, unfor-
tunately. not absolute, there are many
'deyiatlons. some OF which are hard
TO Q for. at the same time they
act with -easonable certainty. and the
breeder no studies them carefully.
and exercises reasonable intelligence
In mating his mares. while he may
be disappointed occasionally, win. on
the whole, be favored with a fair meas
ure OF success. On the other hand. the
breeder does not give the matter due
consideration, does o study, or neg
lects the laws mentioned. but breeds
Extraordinarily, without regard to the
tyrc or Individuality or hic mares. viii
be disappointed ia a large percentage
OF his attempts.
The object Of the breeder should be
TO produce something better than the
lam. and to accomplish this he must
stick TO type.

SOIL INCUBATION Is NOT UNDERSTOOD

necessary bacteria. meditation is,
therefore, necessary wherever the crop
is to be grown. for the first time. In
the case of clover. however, the crop
has been SO long and so widely pro-
duced In the state that the bacteria
must he- anu fresh inocu-
lation is not necessary. Many farmers
who find clover failing on their farms
are grasping at this idea of incubation
as a remedy. They are spending good
money for nothing.
Wherever clover has been success
fully gown and now fails, or does not
produce profitable crops, the failure is
most likely due TO a lack OF mineral
plant foods in available forms, or an
imperfect physical condition of the soil,
or both. This has been brought about
by long continued systems OF inju-
dicious cropping, by the removal OF all
crops from the soil without making
any returns In the way of manures or
fertilizers, and by poor or improper
tillage. The remedy must be sought
for, not in incubation. but In the use
of or fertilizers, better crop
rotations and better tillage.

Agricultural Wiancko, of the Indiana
experiment station, says:
The many inquiries which come to
the staten about bacterial inoculating
material for clover M other legumes
indicate that there exists among aiar
formers a widespread but
notion as to what may be expected to
result from the application of such ma
terials.
Many highly extravagant claims for
incubation are being made by un-
scrupulous concerns advertising the
materials for sale, and the farmer lis
led to believe that inoculating the
seeds OF legurnes, or the soil upon
which they are TO be grown, with GER
tain forms OF bacteria, lis all that IS
required TO make them produce enor-
o crops, besides wonderfully en-
riching the soil. These claims are in
nearly all cases very far beyond the
truth. and many farmers are being
induced to spend money for something
which will not produce what is claimed
for Ii.
1t is quite true that leguminous
plants, OF which the clovers are famil-
lar examples. require large quantities

the radio-activity would not do any
harm, as is shown by the presence of
