VALUE OF GOOD BULL
Hust Have Good Breeding for the
Best Results.
Most Practical Way Is for Dairyman
to Breed His Own cows-Impor-
tant Matter IL to Find Results
Given In Milk Pail.

On the majority Of the dairy farms
we find herd of grade COWS. 1t is
impossible for everyone to own pure
bred cows, but 1t is possible for all to
build up their herds to a standard
where they are practically the equal
Of pure bred.
Every dairyman who is the owner
Of a herd of grade cows should be
cognizant of the fact that there is
nothing so important, so far as i'm
proving the herd is concerned, as a
pure-bred bull that shows all of the
desirable characteristics.
It is fact that the influences of
the bull are equal to those of the cow
when both are Of the same standard;
but when the cows are Of low grade
the bulls influence is just as much
greater as his qualities are superior
to those of the COWS.
However, if the bull be not up to
the grade OF the COW, the progeny will
show retrogression, says writer in
the Farm Progress. Hence the i'm
portance of having a bull that is SUI
periOr to the COWS so that there may
be a continuous tendency toward i'm
provement so far as the progeny Is
concerned.
The individuality of the bull repre-
sents so per cent. of the breeding
value Of the herd at the beginning of
q system of breeding for improve
ment of the standard of the herd,
but by continuing after the first cross
and working until a standard equal
to the pure breed Is secured we must
admit that the bull really represents
100 per cent. Of the breeding value.
His superior qualities are what have
builded up the herd.
The most practical way for the
dairyman who cannot afford to pay
the high prices that breeders ask for
their pure-bred COWS to secure first.
class producing herd, is to breed his
best cows to a bull OF known virtues
and then raise the heifer calves. By
breeding them properly it will only
be a few generations until he will
have herd that is practically as val.
liable as one composed OF pure-blood
ed animals.
Before beginning any system Of
breeding the dairyMan should &C
quaint himself with the record of the
results given In the milk pail by the
bulls dam, for that is what he il
breeding for. Remember that the
bull will transmit any weak points
more readily than the strong points
which is proof that the keeper should
know just what sort of ancestors the
bull may have had.

FROZEN BETS ARE POISON
Stockmen Arc Warned Of Fatal Re-
suits In Feeding Root Crop Con-
qeaIed With Cold.

Stockmen are being warned as to
the possibility Of poisoning stock from
feeding frozen beets, by DR.. F. B.
Hadley of the veterinary department
Of the College Of Agriculture Of the
University of Wisconsin. Last year
considerable loss was sustained by
Wisconsin Stockman from this cause.
The greatest trouble resulted from
beets that were fozen and afterward
thawed before being fed. In one seri-
Gus case the frozen beets were boiled
with grain to make slop. After this
mixture was fed the hogs died in a
short time, due to paralysis of the
heart. Recent investigations show
that the chemical changes which take
place in the processes of freezing and
thawing produce poisonous sub
stance which causes rather sudden
death when eaten. Beets that have
not been frozen make excellent feed
for stock.

HOUSING THE SHEEP FLOCK
Keeping Large Number Of Animals
Together In ore Barn Has Ten
dency to Breed Disease.

At one time I made Germany my
home; handled about 5000 sheep.
These sheep were owned by different
parties, from so to zoo belonging to
one man. Each owner had his sta
bles, one or more according to the
number of sheep he handled. There
were never more than 100 sheep in
one stable, says writer in the Amer
lean Agriculturist These stables were
built like houses along a city street.
That is, they were built in a row on
each side Of an alley, facing each
other.
One Of the things that surprised me,
on coming to America, was the large
barns that farmers built, and then run
all the sheep together in this one
barn. I believe this has a tendency
to breed disease. I do not believe
sheep ought to be herded together in
small place, and they should have
frequent change of pastures.

sheep have averaged 10 pounds OF

raise twin lambs in one season. In q
small flock, believe, there is not SO
much danger of disease as there is in
a large herd. My experience with
sheep has been that they are just

Much Speculation By State

Montgomery, November 30.-(Spe-

selected as the'day of the meeting.
But the time of the executive com

There seems to be a large demand

for some months in formulating a new
