cBy E. e. HENDERSON,


In the starting Of herd Of swine.
or for that matter any kind Of stock.
the first thing to be considered Is the
animals that are to be used as q foun-
dalton. for. as a building cannot be
we'll builded on poor foundation. SO
no herd can be well founded upon q
poor foundation.
The writer had the point thrust up.
on him, and with much force, several
years ago. When founding our breed
ing herd we bought what would be
classed as the moderate quality sort
We had these for some time, but from
time to time we added more desirable
animals, and the progeny was left In
the herd.
This went on until now our herd rs
composed of the offspring of the bet
ter type of animals we bought, those
OF our first purchase being discarded
entirely. There were years of patient.
careful work thrown away. all be-
cause OF poor foundation.
Next to the foundation the most i'm
portant thing is the kind of boar we
use.
1t is impossible to maintain a good
herd OF swine unless we use bears of
superior merit. The old story that the
boar Is half the herd is only half true.
for If he Is poor animal he is the
whole herd-that is, he will ruin its
quality In single cross.
1t Is much better to have a poor
herd OF sows and select good bears

CHURCH SEEKS PERMIT
TO RAISE HIGH NAVE
St. Matthews Asks Right to Build
to Height of Ninety
Five Feet.

Recommendation for special legislation
to permit the erection of ST. Matthew
Church. on Rhode Island avenue north
west between 18th street and Connecticut
avenue, to a height of nnety-five feet has
been sent to Congress by the Commits
SionerS.
The plans for this church were prepared
about seventeen years ago, and the main
body of the church was built The plans
indicated that the ridge of the roof of the
nave. fronting on Rhode Island avenue.
should be carried to height of ninety
five feet above the sidewalk.
The church was not completed at that
time. Application has been made to the
inspector of buildings to complete the
church on the original plans.
Subsequently Congress enacted a law to
regulate the height of buildings in the
District of Columbia. in which it was pro-
vided that no building should be erected,
altered ar raised in any manner on a resi-
dence street to height greater than
eightyfive feet above the sidewalk. The
plans of the church provide for exceeding
this height by ten feet.
