the stock produced will be Of an in.
ferior character. 1t is here that the
mistake becomes conspicuous, and il
Is more noticeable later when the
progeny is marketed. Superior cows
are very desirable, but a first class
bull is more so, and it ought to be the
ambition of all to own such not only
as credit to oneself, but as a money
maker.
A COW may be as good as is possible,
but use an inferior bull and her calf
Will be moderate, to say the least, but
use substantial bull and ninety-nine
chances to one the calf will be better
either than the sire or dam, writes w.
K. Gilbert In Field and Farm. At
tempts TO breed from a poor class of
cows with bull of similar character
only results in the production of a lot
OF weeds, but if really good bull is
used for inferior cows the stock will
be improved perceptibly, both in APP
pearance and value.
A pure bred bull of any kind is an
acceptable animal, but crossbred ones
are doubtful. That some are good, |
admit, but the majority are rubbish.
1t does not matter what the object of
breeding be-milk production in the
extreme or beef with great develop
ment on the most valued parts-a SUI
perior bull will always make its mark
and have a big share in securing all
that is required, both for ornament and
utility.
There are two principal influences to
account for the patronage given to in
ferior bulls. AS In so many cases,
money is at the bottom of one. Some
pride themselves on how cheap they
can buy bull. What a delusion to
compliment oneself on!
Now for the other influence. 1t is
Indifference. 1t is quite extraordinary
how keen, intelligent men who know
quite well the great advantage Of en-
ploying good bull will introduce and
retain MASTERS. They may say they
do not rear calves and 1t does not mat
ter what these are like; the cows

1t advancing superior stock breeding,
which we all profess to take an inter-
est In.
l am often interested In finding how
soon small farmers, who do not pro-
fess to know a great deal of how to
improve breeds, learn the advantage
of good bull.
They rarely keep bull themselves,
but send their cows to those Of larger
farmers in the district. They may
hardly be able to tell from observation
which is the best, but once a calf or
two arrive, and they notice progress,
the fine contour or the lusty quarters
they soon realize where the superior
bull resides, and they patronize him
time after time, irrespective of fee, If
that is anything within reason.
The cheapest way to secure a SUI
perior bull is to buy it as a calf and

Success With Sheep.

year when they have not paid me. |
prefer Cotswolds because they are
strong, hardy sheep, good wool and fair
mutton. The last few years we could
not get enough good rams to meet the
demand of the ranchmen who want
them to cross on the finer bred ewes
SO as to produce more wool and NUT
ton. l would not advise keeping over
twenty breeding ewes on a hundred
acre farm. If the farm is low and
inclined to be wet ten will be plenty.
would not advise beginner to buy
show sheep or high priced animals.
Buy from a reliable firm and get few
ewes at reasonable prices, and with
good care you will meet success.

THE SWINEHERD.

To grow baby pork successfully good
pasture must be provided. The pigs
must be given fair chance by coming
into the world strong and lusty, and
they must be kept growing In prime
physical condition from the start.
Bone and flesh forming foods must be
fed and comfortable and cleanly sur
roundings provided. Plenty Of clean
water to drink at all times is ilspor-
tant. A stunted pig is bad property,
as he never really gets over it. Good
pasture and care may help him, but
he has lost time and vigor which can
not be wholly regained.
Feeding the Youngsters.
When first weaned feed the pigs
from three to five times a day. While
with their mother they took their meals
at least every two hours, and too sud-
den change is detrimental After
they get to growing vigorously cut
down to two meals a day, and when
they weigh seventy-five pounds each
and are on good pasture feed once a
day, and that at night
A Breeders Advice.
A successful breeder gives this ad-
vice: Keep a record of the number of
pigs in each litter. 1t doesn't pay to
rely on memory In these things. Look
well to 1t that the mother hogs have
the driest, most comfortable quarters
possible. This often tells the story
of the little rooters she is able to bring
to market for you. Always select the
young sows from the most prolific
old ones. If SOW has fever at far
rowing time and eats her pigs, It Is
your own fault, not hers. Keep her
active, give her a laxative diet, no
corn and plenty Of pure, clean water
TO drink and there will be no trouble.
What! Sweep the hogpen? Yes; that
Is what one of the best hog men does
every single day. Do you think he
would keep 1t up IL he did not think it
paid?
Give Variety In Pig Feeds.
IL pigs are allowed the run Of pas
ture they will eat more concentrated
feed and make more rapid gains than
when being fed In dry lots. II the ra-
ton contains plenty of protein the ad-
vantage OF pasture does not amount to
much so far as the amount Of feed
consumed per 100 pounds of gain is
concerned, but 1t makes a big differ
ence in the condition Of the pigs at the
end OF the fattening period. In tests
at the Iowa experiment station the
cheapest gains when feeding young
pigs were obtained from a ration Of
corn, with the pigs on clover pasture.
The greatest profit was made when q
mixed ration was fed.

FOOT rot IN SHEEP.
How This Disease Can Be Treated
Most Effectivelv

How This Disease Can Be Treated
Most Effectively.
Foot rot originates only in wet land
or on ground which is not dry and
where sheep hoofs are liable to crack
from overgrowth and softening by ex-
cessive moisture. This malady may
also be communicated to sound
flock by the introduction of one sheep
having the disease. The sheep pen and
yard should be composed of hard, dry,
we'll beaten clay. The droppings In the
pen must not be allowed to ferment, as
the heat in the manure will soften the
feet, and when the sheep are turned
out In the spring on damp sod they are
liable to have an attack of this trouble
some disease.
If the disease is taken in its early
stages the cure is simple and sure, says
writer In the Baltimore American.
Clean the hoofs by letting them run In
damp grass for an hour or two, then

pare the diseased portion of hoof with
a sharp knife, being careful to cut
away every particle Of diseased matter,
then wash with warm water and car
bolic or CASTLE soap. Wipe dry, then
rub in a good caustic paste or stand
each sheep in hot saturated solution
of blue vitriol for ten minutes. Then
put in shed and yard having clean,
hard earth floor for few days.
The sheep should be examined fire.
quently during the season, as the feet
may be diseased for some weeks be-
fore it is known to the owner. The
disease does not affect the appetite OF
the sheep, as they will eat and digest
their food up to the very last. The
thing to do is not to let the disease get
too far advanced before attempting
cure

Cement Floors Under Cows.

Every few days we hear of the bad
effects upon cows Of the cold cement
floor, says Hoard's Dairyman. Some
Of the wise ones cover over the cement
with boards, but many do not The re-
suit is garget and loss Of quarters In
the udder. No other portion Of the
cows body takes as much blood as the
udder except 1t be the heart and lungs.
The big veins, called milk veins, show
that lying on the cold cement floor
causes congestion In the udder and
garget ensues. Besides garget, rheu-

way.

Is wanted, he may be from a year to

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Dallas Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

The kidneys are bean-sha ped organs,
composed of masses of little tubes. all OF
which pour their secretions into main
channel that leads to the bladder. In
this way the kidneys pass off more than
an ounce of poison every day when in
health. But it does not take much to
set the kidneys back, and when they get
behind, they cannot right themselves
without help. The uric acid begins to
clog the kidneys, causing that dull,
heavy aching in the back, and sharp
twinges when STOPPING or lifting. 1t
crystallizes in the muscles and Joints,
and every turn or twist brings keenest
torture. 1t attacks the nerves with
neuralgia, and sciatica, 1t brings head
ache, dizziness, languor and disorders
OF the urine. Try a good kidney medi-
cine, II you have any of the above SYM
ptoms. There is nothing else so prompt
and effective as Doan's Kidney Pills.
