THE PEDIGREE ALONE WON'T Do.
The pedigree is all right IN itself In
selecting breeding stock OF what ever
Kind. In cattle breeding is, perhaps
more neglected than In other KINGS.
In word Of caution on breeding, froI.
Boss. of the Minnesota Station, says TO
voung breeders that beginners In live
stock breeding seem to expect tne
pedigree OF an animal to max up Iof
lack of feed, poor quarters, and poo
management. This, Of course, Will nos
do. but a well bred pig, If given good
care and comfortable quarters, Will
unuuestionably give better returns for
the money invested than any number
Of scrubs a do.
Many breeders overlook the fact
that in stock breeding like produces
like" just as surely from poor 1nd1'
yiduals as from good ones This Is
evidenced by the number Of scrubby
individuals that are often seen IN
breeding herds, to be sold to some n
who sends a mail order. 1t Is a mas
ter of doubt whether or not the scrub.
by pure bred is more likely to bring
| scrubby offspring, than is, even the
scrub without pedigree. The fact that
| the good lines have been concentrated
| for some generations and that an eff
| fort has been made to keep the ami
NAL pure in breeding emphasizes the
| likelihood Of like begetting like, and
scrubby pure breeds are the result
unless the inferiority Of the pa.
rent is due to poor care rather than
poor breeding.
The pure bred pig that is scrubby
Is likely to be a cause Of damage in
the breeding herd of the owner, and
to injure the reputation Of any breed
which may be unfortunate enough tt
possess animals of this description
The only pure bred pig that should
be used as the breeder is the one tina
is good as an individual and whose
ancestry have been good individuals
All others should be consigned to thu
packer.
