and large percentage of them without
merit. AS result again of this foolish
practice we have a superabundance of
horses without any particular qualit-
les of excellence which go on the market
as genera, purpose horses and command
the lowest price in every mar ket. Out
O. this heterogeneous collection OF non
entities there are, of course, few sur
prising individuals; but the males should
never be used for breeding purposes, as
they lack in prepotency. or power to
transmit their desirable characteristics
to their off spring. The mares may be
profitably bred, but always with the
view of grading up by successive top
crossing with pure bred sires of the
same breed. Five such crosses are sup
posed practically to obliterate the
native blood, and according to some of
the stnd books, produce what is known
as pure bred horses. In general our
farmers are particular about the breed
and points of excellence of the horse
used as sire, but the mistake has been
in not persisting in using sires of one
breed and of equal excellence until
purity of blood, a greater degree of
prepotency, and a uniform excellence
of offspring are secured.
The other day l was riding on Il Q
range with an extensive stock raiser of
the Western Slope. noticed u Short
horn bull running with herd of Here
ford cows and asked for and explanation
l was informed that the Herefords were
weak in one point of'conformation. and
in order to improve the herd n Short
horn bull strong in this particular had

breeders everywhere has been that Il is
plan will not succeed. 1t is, for exam
pie. AS erroneous in theory and fruitless
in practice as that Of crossing mare
having cycle-shaped hind legs with a
horse having straight hind legs, expect
that the offspring will be an average of
the two parents. This is not natures
method Perfection is not secured by
two inperfections. and all efforts in this
direction will be disastrous in the extrem.
The better plan is to castrato the stallion
and breed the mare to as perfect q
horse as can be found.
What is the use then, after having
made a good start by infusing pure
blood for the first cross, of spelling it all
by changing to some other cross Why
not follow some concerted plan in the
grading up operation until a reputation
has beeu established for real merit?

Colorado has first class, up to date
Veterinary College. 1t is located at
Fort Collins, and is department of the
Colorado Agricultural College. This is
the only recognized. Veterinary school
west of Manhattan, Kansas. Here are a
few facts concerning it, This school
opened its doors last September at the
beginning of the College year; thirty one
students registered in the first class. 1t
is three year course of nine months
each year, Only students who have
completed high school course or its
equivalent are allowed to matriculate
Tuition is free to all residents of Colo
RADIO; those from other states are re-
quired to pay an animal fee of Se5.
New buildings and equipments were
provided especially for this work. There
is large Veterinary hospital that is
already inadequate at times to tax e
care of animals left for treatment; one
building flied up for the special work in
anatomy and dissection; Veterinary
Hall facing on Laurel street, which is
used for offices, class room and assembly
for the Veterinary Medical Association,
and the main office, laboratories, and
class rooms in the basement of the
Library builping.
The State Board of Agriculture h; S
provided ample equipment for the pre-
sent. There are twenty two instructors
on the Veterinary Faculty, which in
clude three graduate Veterans engaged
in teaching at the College all the time
and four more that come in to lecture
to the students in Veterinary Science.
There are two Fort Collins practicing
physicians on the Faculty, besides a
regular corps of instructors at the Col
lege who participate in this work.
There are some unusual advantages
in connection with the Veterinary Col
lege of Colorado. The United States
Horse Breeding Experiment Station is
located at the College, and the College
farm has some of the choicest individ.
uals of all the different breeds of live
stock. The Colorado Agricultural Col
lege has the first school If Farriery In
the United States, Fort Collins is one
among few cities in the country that
has pure food ordnance The pure
food control is in charge Of DIR Glover
of the College. The students in Veteri-
nary Science do all the practical in milk
and meat inspection for the city under
the supervision of DIR. Glover. This
practical work in milk and meat inspec-
ton is especially advantageous to those
who contemplate taking up similar work
with the United States Department of
Agriculture.
There are great opportunities for quail
flied Veterinarians The College at
Fort Collins stands for quality and not
quantity. 1t is the intention of the
State Board of Agriculture to make and
maintain this one of the foremost schools
of Veterinary Science in America.

We are annually paying tribute to the
genius and foresight of European stock
breeders to the extent of several milf on
dollars. We go to Scotland for the
Clydesdale horse to France for the Per-
cheron and the French Coach, and to
England for the Shire, etc. This in itself
is not so bad, provide we make The best
use of these breeds after we get them.
No country on earth has better natural
condition for making and perfecting
high class breeds of live stock than this
and yet it is fact that aside from the
American trotting horse and breed or
two of pigs and chickens, we have never
produced in the entire history of this
country one single pure breed of live
stock. The yankee who enjoys the rep
utation the world over for his keen bust
ness instinct has in this respect gained
the unenviable reputation of being the
rankest kind sucker. We go acrost the
water and pay thousands of dollars for
the Sires, bring them over here, and
thoughtlassly mate them with mares of
ever known breed without ever thought
of purity of bod or the ultimate estab-
fishing of pure breeds at home. All sorts
