Is dimcult to distinguish between

It requires approximately seven dol

there is little question but that the

other words, as much profit should be
realized from the one additional dol

with the time and labor employed In
farming wheat, and put one-third

only two-thirds as many acres OF

than where they spread their energies
over one-third larger acreage. The

would insure them q large additional

White Plymouth Rock Chicken Is
One Of Most Familiar.

version 10 Development Of PoIled
Durham Breed Of CattIe-The
Dwarf Tomato 10 Another.

(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
The term sport" means many
things to many people. We each
think In our own, language and see
the same object in different colors
from various sides. Sport from the
standpoint Of the man interested in
heredity Is an unprecedented and I'M
accountable change Of character in
the offspring Of perfectly normal pa
rents. This change may be slight, or
1t may be absolutely revolutionary,
but II it be true sport it has never
occurred before In the ancestry Of
this particular individual.
The new character may effect one
organ or the whole structure Of the
Individual. There is no way Of trac-
Ing the causes OF the change and no
certainty that it will be transmitted
to the descendants Of the sport.
1t Is from these abrupt spontaneous
appearances of strange characters
that some Of our most valuable va
rieties Of plans and animals have
come. Perhaps one Of the most fa-
miliar sports in animal world is the
White Plymouth Rock chicken. This
variety is a pure sport derived from
the Barred variety and the pure white
chicks occurred in two or three places
In this country at about the same
time. Fortunately they transmitted
their white color to their offspring and
thus was created new breed, pure
white In color, and true. Plymouth
Rocks in every other characteristic.
Another interesting and valuable
sport is the Polled Durham breed Of
cattle, a hornless breed descended
from the true sports of the Shorthorns.
The first true polled Shorthorns were
born Of horned parents, but their Off
spring were usually hornless.
In the vegetable kingdom, one Of
the latest sports is the Dwarf Tomato
which we told you about in a recent
article. It came spontaneously from
tall stock. had full sized fruit in
smaller numbers, and the stalk was
stir enough to support the fruit. It
Immediately became populor and bids
fair to supplant its parent variety for
field use, because it produces more
and better fruit to the acre.
Sports without number have oc-
CURED among the flowers and most
Of US are familiar with numerous
cases Of unexpected new shapes and
colorings.
Many of the finest varieties of ap-
pies and other tree fruits are of spon-
taneOus origin, and we credit a num-
Der of valuable grains and field crops
to the same mysterious forces which
we know not.
While giving sports due credit. we
must acknowledge that cross breeding
and careful selection are fully as i'm
portant, II not more so, and they are
much more available to mankind A
great many mutations of character
which are, called sports are really
changes due to crossing one charac-
ter with another

DISEASE MAY BE Prevented
Fatal MaIady Of Canker Sore Mouth
Causes Extensive Loss Of Little
Pigs Every Year.

The loss of little pigs from this dis
ease annually is extensive, but largely
might be prevented by proper care
The cause Of the disease Is infection
of slight scratches of the nose, mouth
and gums by what is called bacillus
necrophorus. This germ is present
normally in the intestines of hogs and
may be found wherever weddings have
been dropped. The disease, therefore
is most likely to attack pigs kept in
insanitary yards and buildings, and
the contagion turks there from year
to year.
To prevent the disease, sows and
pigs should be provided with clean
buildings and yards. Be sure to have

total of 3.640,OOO.O00, which broke
the record made in the previous year
by 100000. The largest number
of any one kind was il flat fish, of
which S00,00o,000 eggs were planted.
During the year there was an in
creased capture of black spotted
trout, Chinook salmon, paddock,
striped bass and white fish eggs and
a decrease in those of lake herring,
pike perch, shad, yellow perch and
