BREED FROM SOUND HORSES
Folly of Getting . Foal from Either aDefective Sire or Brood
 Mare.

Perfect material is necessary for the building of a perfect edifice. Unsound material means structural weakness that architectural beauty can never off set. So in horse-breeding. Two sound parents. are necessary for the production of sound offspring. Soundness in one parent cannot be trusted to overcome may have beauty of form and the re- sultant progeny may likewise be beau tiful, but mere beauty is of little value in the market unless associated with soundness and good wearing qualities. The fixed law in breeding is that Hike produces like" hence, while we continue to use unsound stallions' and mares in our breeding operations, we shall have unsound horses to offer on the market at the small discriminating price paid for such animals. Breeders should refuse to breed their mares to an unsound stall lion no matter how handsome he may appear, how we'll he may be bred, or how many prizes he may have won. The stallion must be free from disease known to be transmissible to the offspring in kind or as susceptibility. He must have sound eyes, hearing and wind" and be free from spavins. sidebones. ringbones, stringhalt, St. Vitus' dance (chorea) and contagious diseases. To this end the breeder should demand of the owner certificate of soundness signed by reputable, qualified veteri- marian. He should see. too, that the stallion is pure-bred and duly recorded fin the stud-book of his particular breed, but should not accept pedigree as an apology for the absence of any one of the other necessary requirements. The stallion is. however. but one side of the proposition. His mate must also be sound. We must quit the absurd. ruin ous policy of considering a worn- out, halt, maimed, blind or otherwise unsound mare fit for breeding purposes on the basis that she is good for noth- ing else" She is wholly unfit for breed ing purposes. Our state is full of un- sound horses. Unsoundness is common among our brood mares, prevalent among our stallions The natural con- sequence is that many of our horses are unsound and their market value small on that account. Let us forthwith insist that every stallion used in the state shall be sound and VOW that we will never | again breed an unsound mare.

Trouble with Ropy Milk.

Ropy or stringy milk is common trouble. and is caused by germ which gets in milk. which insteadof causing the milk to become sour. curdled or bitter as some other germs do. changes the cheesy parts of the milk into very pc culiar slimy material After some hours standing. the milk becomes so viscid or slimy that if spoon be dipped in it and then raised. the milk will cling to it and pull out into threads or strings one yard or more long The remedy is to steam or boil every uten- sil which at any time comes in contact with the milk The germ se,ms to prop agate itself from day to day around the dairy or the apparatus and usually it ia easy to get rid of if by disinfection with boiling water thoroughly applied Farm and Home
