WARNS AGAINST CHAMBERS
Diseased Horses Being Shipped Into
Wisconsin, Says State veteri-
marian Eliason.

Madison has come to the no
tice of this department several times
recently that unprincipIed persons
have knowingly shipped into this
state horses affected with CHAMBERS. =
said State Veterinarian o. H. Eliason
today
Attention should be called to the
fact that all horses shipped into this
state must be Mallein-tested for CLAN
ders. This can be done at the place
of loading with much less trouble to
all concerned, for if there are any re-
actors such animals would be paid
for in the state wherein they were
bought. If tested, in case of reac-
ton there would necessarily be loss
to the owner, as the state does not
compensate for horses which appar-
'ently have contracted diseases in
other states.
The motive for this ruling was pri-
marily to avoid the imposition of UNI
necessary hardship on honest ship

The Betterment of
Horse Breeding
By DR.. A. S. ALEXANDER
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

Cooperation TO this end should
quickly impress upon the mind Of
every farmer that the time has come
to abandon indiscriminate methods
bf4breeding Hitherto violent crosses
and admixtures of blood have com
monty been made On the contrary
breeders should at the outset chose
one breed as ideal and then grade up
by consecutive use Of pure bred sires
of the selected breed. BY SO doing
the blood OF the breed after a time
win predominant and be evidenced in
the progeny of all the characteristics
of the breed 1t has been the com
mon practice TO try one breed and
from its use obtain half bred mares.
These mares have been mated with
. stallion OF some breed different
from the original sire and their fe-
male progeny in turn have sires of
other light or draft breeds BY such
inadyisable methods of mating the
state has been fllled with horses Of
mixed and nondescript breeding and
the condition has been further com
plicated by the detrimental practice
of using grade and scrub stations.
From now on this injudicious and
purposeless method of breeding
should be abandoned Only pure
bred sires should be used and in each
case the same breed should be used,
year after year, cross upon cross.
until the characteristics of that
breed become stamped indelibly upon
the grade stock produced This is
the only correct and successful meth
cd OF grading up stock. The way in
which pure blood gradually takes the
place of impure blood is we'll shown
