Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Wisconsin has 1850 licensed grade
and mongrel stations and 1854 pure
bred stations. Though the percent
age of grade and mongrel sires is con-
Stantly decreasing, it is a regretable
condition where more than half the
stations in the state are capable of
begetting only mongrel or scrub Off
spring. The use of grade sires makes
absolutely uncertain the transmission
of desirable qualities, and places the
foal at handicap on the market be-
cause of his breeding.
Grading up can be accomplished
only by the persistent consecutive use
of pure bred sires of the same breed.
1T can never be done by employing
pure bred sires of different breeds. 1t
cannot be done by using "cross-bred,"
I'grade" or "mongrel or scrub" sires.
Such animals are of mixed breeding;
hence they transmit mixed characters.
IA grade stallion is one that has q
pure bred sire, but not a pure bred
dam. He cannot beget a grade foal.
F1e begets a mongrel. A mongrel or
scrub stallion has unknown breeding
aad begets foal whose characteristics
cannot be foretold by the character of
his parents. The pure bred sire rep
Eesents continuous line of pure bred
animals of the same breed. He pos
sesses, therefore, the power to stamp
upon his offspring, the characteristics
of the breed he represents.
To encourage the use of pure bred
Sires some county fair officials are Of
fer1ng prizes for foals from pure bred
sires. At the Dane county fair in 1911,
the four handsome silver cups shown
I'm the illustration were offered by the
Pure Bred Sire league of Dane county.
Donations toward the purchase of the
cups were received from owners of
pure bred stations Sucking foals by
pure bred draft sires made a strong
exhibit, as did also an open class for
one or two-year-old colt or FLY by
pure bred draft sires. This year, the
matter is better advertised and
large number Of colts will compete for
the $25 silver cup offered in each of
the classes for pure bred or grade
draft and coach or roadster foals.
The cups being permanent hand
some objects of value, will stay in the
family of the winner, will be talked
about, and will attract the attention of
the boys and interest them in the
breeding of good horses. Similar prizes
ARE provided for. competition in the
other horse breeding counties of the
state.

was to hand over the company's money
to this politician"
Eyes," said the lawyer, but this
payment has a quite sufficient string
to it, 1t is explained fully in his let
ter. Mr.. Curtis advises us that, in or
der to wipe out personal debt, a debt
legally but not morally just, he has
given the man a check on the funds
of the company. He begs us to OBJ
serve that this check directs payment
+ to be made by the bank out OF the
funds Of the Life Assurance Company
of North America, and that it is signed
by him as the trustee of such funds.
He begs us further to observe that this
payment is, consequently, plainly on
the face of this check payment with
trust funds. Therefore. this politician
takes no title to the money which he
will receive by it, and must pay It
back to the company
IT do not quite understand" said
one of the directors

lawyer. "This check is made payable

that it is drawn on moneys belonging

dividually to Richard r. Curtis. This
notice is set out fully in the body OF
the check. The signature with the
word, trustee, attached, confirms the
trust nature of the fund upon which
it is drawn Now, these political leech-
es have grown so accustomed to being
fed on insurance money that they have
come wholly to overlook the law. No
doctrine of the law is better settled
than that trust has no power to pas
out trust funds in settlement of his
private debts, and one who takes trust
funds, with notice of that fact, ac-
quires no title to them and can be
made to restore them. The peculiar
wording of this check gave full notice
that it was drawn on trust funds. The
person who cashed it was thereby
fully aware of that fact and, conse.
quently, he must restore this money"
But" said the chairman, "is this
politician good for that amount?"

CURING ILLS THAT
PIGS ARE HEIR TO
BY DR.. A. s. ALEXANDER,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Scours.-When young nursing pigs
begin to scour, it is evident that the
milk of the SOW is disagreeing with
them and immediate attention there
fore should be directed toward i'm
proving her rations. Most often the
trouble comes from overlooking on
corn, or other rich food, just after far
rowing, and pigs of fat, habby, pam
pered, cross, nervous, constipated
sows, are most apt to suffer Sudden
changes of food, or feeding sour or de-
composing slop, or food from dirty
troughs, or sour swill barrels, also
tend to cause diarrhoea either in nurs'
ing pigs or those that have been
weaned, and all such causes should
be prevented or removed.
To correct securing in nursing pigs,
give the SOW Is to 20 grains sulphate
of iron (copperas) in her slop night
and morning and If necessary slightly
increase the doses until effective.
Lime water may with advantage be
freely mixed with the slop as a pre-
ventive when there is tendency to
arrangement, or after the trouble has
been checked, and also is an excellent
corrective for weaned pigs showing a
tendency to scour on slop or skinned
milk. Where little pigs are securing
severely, each may with advantage be
given a raw egg and five to ten grains
of subnitrate of bismuth twice daily
In addition to changing the food Of the
SOW and mixing with copperas in her
slop. In cases which do not promptly
respond to treatment success may fol-
low the administration Of dose Of
castor oil shaken up in milk In all
cases it is important to set right all
errors in diet and sanitation and to
provide the pigs with dry, sunny, well

SERIOUS MISTAKES
In CULLING FLOCK

In sorting out the scrubs this sum-
mer and fall we should not make the
mistake Of letting the very best
mother sheep go by selling out all the
thin ones. AS well sell the best COWS
from the herd by taking out the
heaviest milk producers, for the
heaviest mixers are almost invariably
thin.
The writer has bought many
sheep for no other reason on earth
than it was sleek and fat, writes M
F. Greedy in the Inter Ocean. To our
sorrow these beauties usually re-
NAMED sleek and fat, for the simple
reason they seldom grew lamb to
make them thin, and IL they did have
and they gave so little milk the lamb
was thin, and we all know the poor
kind of sheep thin lamb makes.
If a sheep is not so old it is thin,
but keeps thin after the lambs have
been taken off month or SO, 1t is
well to put her into the feeding lot;

is always most apt to occur and sure
to prove disastrous among pigs kept
in unsanitary condition.
Constipation.-Inactivity of the bow

nant sows and other adult hogs when
given too little exercise and too much
rich food. In such animals the liver
is torpid, the system feVerish and the
muscles and other organs overloaded
with fat A brood SOW in such con-
dition, and troubled with constipation,
will be likely to have weak, puny, or
dead pigs, or require help with instru-

ton seldom troubles where hogs are
fed laxative foods, such as bran, flax
seed meal, roots or alfalfa, during the
winter season, and in addition are
made to take abundant outdoor exer-

most necessary for pregnant sows and
usually will obviate the need Of medi-
cines. Where such simple means
fail, recourse may be had to laxatives.

seems necessary, give four ounces Of

Thumps.-This term is applied to
that ailment of young pigs which is
indicated by spasmodic Jerking mo-
tons of the TANKS. These are at times
so severe that they move the body
backward and forward. The trouble
is akin to hiccoughs and the contrac-

cases, be associated with palpitation

tendency to this disease apparently
is hereditary, pigs of pampered sows
