says that she is full blooded Peroher-
on. and that is what bought her for

very nne colts l have horse colt

blood; 1t cannot be beat. Please let
me know what I should do about this

doctor who comes around to examine
stations to examine her and then

worthy Of them.
= Answer by w. B. Richardson, pro-
lessor Of animal husbandry. North d.
kota Agricultural college:
! The only way you can get q certin-
cate Of registration for your mare IL
to have the party who sold her to you
furnish you the name and registry
number Of her sire and dam. It is
absolutely necessary to have this in
formation before you can register a
pure bred animal. Unless you can
,nnd where the party lives who sold
her to you, 1t will be impossible to get
hs1 registered. &
4glt Ia impossible to get any animal
registered in breed association un-
less you can furnish the exact breed
ing Of the animal. 1t don't make any
difference how good they q, 3, that will
not entitle them to registration. A
pure bred animal which IL not record
Cd Is spoken of as an unrecorded pure
bred, and you cannot get any more for
them than II they were grades Of the
same merit
K When anyone buys a pure bred Of
any kind he should insist on getting
the certificates of registration before
he makes the whole payment on the
animal, or insist on getting the certifl-
cate within a short time, for after
they are bought there Is danger Of
the seller getting out Of your reach
Hundreds Of animals cannot be regis
tered just because buyers have
neglected looking after getting the pa
pers when they buy the animals.
Question-How, is basement barn
With q south frontage for stock? /
j Answer by ". B. Richards, profes-
sor Of animal husbandry, North Da-
kota Agricultural college: The writer
has 1hsd no experience with basement
Darns N NoTtn Dakota. The chief OBJ
lection to basement barns ID the fact
that they are liable to be damp.
doubt. however, whether they are any
damper during the winter In North
Dakota than surface barns, because
surface barns are not as warm, and
moisture collects in the form Of frost
on the walls even though the barn Is
well ventilated. The barn becomes
very damp whenever the weather
warns up enough to thaw the frost
On tho wall. believe that this will
b obviated to quite an extent in a
basement barn. A good ventilation
system should be installed in q base
ment barn ..
