Breeding OF Live Stock.

For the improvement of native cows
the Iowa experiment station has pur-
chased number of Arkansas cattle
which are being compared with ami
mails of the standard dairy breeds WITH
reference to the effect of environment,
feed and breeding on the native ami
mails and their offspring. The effort
is to secure data which may form the
basis for rational practice in the
breeding of animals for use on dairy
farms. A number of Galloway cattle
were crossed with Grey blues because
it is thought that in this way Men
delian unit characters can be most
effectively traced and studied
Other lines of work which the gov
eminent inspectors found the Ames
station was doing included study of
the cause of calculi in sheep. the
causes of corrosin of fence wire, ex-
periments in the preparation of new
sheep dip the extraction of sugar from
pumpkins and digestion experiments
with pigs in w.lich the animals were
fed corn and three different kinds of
stock food as compared with the ordi-
nary food ration. Experiments ais
have been begun with poultry.
The income of the Iowa station our
ing the year was $4,000 of which
congress appropriated $4,000 and the
state $22750. The station received ST.,
063.S2 from the sales of its farm pro-
ducts during the year.
