It Is a waste of time for a breeder to
undertake to create a strain of his

there are some instances where this

The beginner will do better by
adopting one breed, standing by it
and working for improvement in the
family rather than in the race. A
man with even limited capital may
be able to get a good start by know
ing what to purchase. Excellent

$50. good male pigs for s25, or those

NEED OF GOOD DAIRY SIRES
Cheapest Investment Farmer Can
Make Is Purchase of Pure Bred
Bull to Build Up Herd.

(By RAY p. SPEER, Minnesota College
of Agriculture.)
It has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by farmer who is
trying to build up the standard of a
herd of cattle lies in the purchase of
a good pure bred bull. 1t is not nee
essary to buy several high priced fe-
males as a basis for the average herd,
nor is it economical.
A striking proof Of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit at
various state fairs last fall. One OF
many instances will suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair judge had to
choose between two cows with the
same dam, but sired by different bulls,
for the female championship Of the
breed. So strikingly similar in type
was each of them to its own sire.
though the dam was the same. that
there was no trouble in distinguishing
between the two. The one that had
been produced by the more outstand-
ing sire was so superior to the one
that had been produced by the less SUI
perlor bull that there was no trouble
about the selection.
The principle illustrated is OF prac'
teal value to the farmer who is think
ing of beginning a herd with limited
capital, or has a very common herd
that he desires to grade up. An aver
age group of calves will be far SUI
perior to their commonly bred mothers
IL a good pure bred bull is used. Such
bull can be purchased very reason
ably If proper care is taken by the
purchaser.

The practical effect OF such a hope
as this is an extended one. In the
first place. it brings us strongly under

the second place. it induces us to form
only holy friendships that can be con-
tinuod through eternity. In the third
place il affords the most precious

which is expressed on every TOMB
stone and heard in the hymnody OF
the church in all the centuries. A be-
liet Of a few men in a few places Is
not a sufficient ground OF evidence,
but a belief of all men in all places
is very different. God would seem TO
be the author of a belief like this.
and, if so. there must be a ground
for t.
In the second place, the reasonable
ness of the idea strengthens the con
viction of its truth. For example, the
resurrection of which the Bible
dividuals are capable Of identifying
themselves only as they identify 9TH
ers with whom they were associated.
If, in other words, we shall know our
selves in the resurrection. then we
must know others who have helped TO
make us what We are. But the OBJ
iect Of the resurrection is equally con-
the righteous and punishment to the
wicked. These rewards and punish
ments are based upon the deeds done
In the body. but to remember the
deeds. We must remember those for or
against whom the deeds were done.
What the Bible Says.
In the third place, while the testi.
mony OF the Bible in this respect is
not definitely clear. it is inferentially
so. Certainly Christ's words to
Martha Yith-rsfenencs TO- ths--resa
rection OF her brother Lazarus, imply
that in the resurrection they would
be known one to another. Read the
story in the eleventh OF John to prove
this. Furthermore. we have the
teaching of Jesus in the parable OF
The unjust steward. recorded in Luke
10. where he says: Make to your
selves friends of the mammon OF I'M
righteousness; that when We fail they
may receive you into everlasting
habitations." 1t is difficult to inter
pref this in any other way than that
in the life to come those saints of
whom we have made friends here by
our treatment of them will know and
welcome us into the joys beyond. And
Pauls words in the text are to the
same purport. He expected to meet
those young Christians Of Thessa-
lonica when the Lord Jesus Christ
should come in his glory, and evident
ly he expected to know them for they
we're to be his Joy and crown OF re-
ioicing in that day.
Possible Objections.
It is no objection to this that Jesus
teaches in another place, (Matthew.
s2:3O) that in the resurrection there
is neither marrying nor giving In mar
rage, for such relationship Is not
necessary to identity nor the spiritual
JOY of IL.
Some would say that in the life 10
