The tussock moth is so called be

II futters about upon the scented

SIRE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.
Little Study of Results of Breeding
Necessary to Show Value of
Head Of Herd.
tBy R. B. RrsHINGN

We have all heard the saying that
the sire is half the herd. This is liter.
ally true. That is, of the qualities
bequeathed to the calves the parent
furnishes half, and generally more.
The COW influences the character OF
but one calf a year; the bull passes
on his personality to many calves. to
all the calves of herd of ordinary
size. When he is chosen, half the
character of all the calves is deter.
mined. thus. his influence is as much
as that of the whole number of COWS
taken together in the herd.
If he is of stronger prepotency than
most of the cows, that is, able to
transmit his qualities more surely and
strongly to the progeny, which is
usually the case with a well bred sire,
then the bull represents more than
half the herd. In this case more than
half the characteristics of the calf Oh
the stronger and predominating half
comes from the sire, thus he is more
than half.
So the sire may be much more than
half the herd whether judged by the
strength, quality, or accumulated eff.
feet, of the characteristic he trans.
mits.
1t is true, however. that the sire
may thus within few years. at slight
expense, completely transform a dairy
herd and more than double its profits.
Then is he not a good investment?

With famine-yelow in their green.

While crickets clacked crackly ode;

areas which have been cut over have

countries are also devoting their ener-
gies 10 establishing a forest cover on
dunes and other waste lands, and, in
fact. on all land which is more valu-
able for producing timber than for
other purposes
France has been one Of the foremost
European countries in reforestation,
especially in the mountains. where
planting has been a powerful factor in
controlling torrents and regulating
stream flow. The state each year buys
uncultivated lands. in the mountain
regions, and up to January. 1907. II

Communes. associations and private
individuals are also assisted in re-
forestation work by grants of money
and by supplies of plants and seeds.
Altogether $4,000 acres have been
planted through this public assistance.
