PROPER NAMES FOR IMPROVED
STOCK

\ subscriber to a prominent farm
journal asks the following questions:
Cd What is the difference between
a thoroughbred. a standard bred and
a full blood"
20 Can Il man breed up his stock
and get them registered. starting with
common stock"
ID Thoroughbred" is the name of
breed of running horses: in fact.
the only pure breed of running horses
we have. This breed originally came
from the BarbS. Arabs and Persians,
and has for years been bred in Eng
land and the same in the United
States. Many speak of thoroughbred
cattle. hogs. chickens. dogs, etc. but
such are in error for the word thor
oushbred" is as much the name of a
distinctive breed of horses as is Po-
land China of a distinct breed of hogs
and Hereford Of a breed of cattle. The
word standard Bred" generally
speaking, is the name of the American
pure bred trotting horse, but more
correctly speaking the name of a
horse that is the get of a sire and dam
both OF which We're standard either
from breeding or performance. In
short. as with thoroughbred" stand
ard bred" is the proper name of
distinct breed of horses. The word
full blood is supposed to designate
any animal eligible to registry, and
is so used. when used ut all. but it is
not considered correct expression by
those conversant with breed phrase
ology. and is never used by them. TIL.
word is misleading and we find hun
dreds who somehow or other have
come to think that they can have full
bloods' and yet not have the animals
eligible to registry. The correct en-
preston to use in referring to ami
mails that are eligible to registry is
pure Bred" and this is the appella-
ton used by writer's and speakers on
breeding topics.
(2) No. 4 man cannot begin with
common stock and by using registered
sires eventually have the progeny
registered, at least not in any Of the
reputable registry associations of the
leading classes of stock
While we are at it We might as
we'll touch upon a few more of the
incorrect expressions one hears on
every hand. Many speak of Polled
Angus when the proper name is Aber-
deem Angus. Pooled" means hornless.
and all Angus are such. if pure bred,
hence the word pooled" used in this
connection is misleading as it might
lead the misinformed to believe that
some Aberdeen Angus have horns.
Many Incorrectly speak of Shorthorns
as Durhams. when officially We have
no such breed. We have two breeds of
IN ~ nd CIT ri
standard, the first a hornless Short
horn and the other partially so, the
difference between the two having
been fully explained in a late issue of
the Dakota Farmer.
In some quarters one runs across
the supposition that Aberdeen Angus
and Red Polls are two families of the
same breed, the difference being one
of color only. The fact is that they
are as distinct as are the Berkshires
and the Duroc Jerseys. The Aberdeen
Angus are of Scotch origin, getting a
part of the name from Aberdeenshire.
Scotland, while the Red Polls is an old
established English breed, originating
probably in the counties of Norfolk
and Suffolk, the tributary territory.
And they are as different in type as
are the Berkshires and the Duroc Jer-
sey and more. the Angus being beef
breed pre-eminently and the Red Polls
a dual-purpose breed.
WORMS IN HOGS.
Hogs affected with worms in the in
testines run down in condition, be-
come very thin and lank, back is
arched. eyes dull, refuse feed, walk
stiffly and appear lifeless The worms
may be very numerous, in bad cases
completely filling the intestines. The
pigs die if not treated. To secure the
best results, affected hogs should re-
ceive individual treatment Twenty
four hours before administering treat
ment very little food should be given
them. Then give the following medi-
cine as drench, to each one-hundred
pound hog; larger or smaller hogs
should receive dose in proportion:
Oil of turpentine, 4 drachms; liquor
ferri dialysatus. 1-2 drachm, raw lin
seed Gil, 6 ounces. If necessary, re-
peat the dose in four days.-Press

PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTER.
About the best way we know of for
preserving or insuring fresh eggs for
the winter months, is to save a few
bushels of corn, small rick of ripe
millet, and as much more wheat and
oats in the bundle; and feed 1t to a
