ON A STOCK BASIS.

r HE IOWA baby show conducted on
the same lines as any other live
stock show is the latest lnnoVa-
ton, another mile stone in our pro-
gress along the tortuous road Of fad
dism in which the American people
have recently set their feet and are
proceeding along under high gear with
the brakes tied loose That the teach
ing the proper care Of babies Is emil
nently correct is freely conceded, but
the idea of trying to improve the quail
ity Of babies by setting standard of
measurements and grades the same
as for cattle. is all fol-de-rol, unless
we are ready to go further and adopt
the same means for improving the
quality Of baby we do for improving
the quality of the domestic animals,
and we do not believe the widest and
most visionary of faddists is yet ready
to go into "the iprovement of the
stock" along the lines of animal in
dustry. The feeding and care of a
baby born deficient, may make 1t a
better and stronger man or woman;
but, well-but.
The stockman doesn't take the long
horn stock to grow Herefords FROM
The hog raiser doesn't take the pro-
geny of the Kansas wlnd-splitter, with
a snout long enough and narrow
enough to reach through a worm fence
and root up the third row Of corn, to
attempt to make the perfect animal.
The horseman doesn't expect to
get draft horse by feeding cayuse
colt bran mash, measuring its abdo-
men and taking yearly account of its
weight. In other words, along all
lines Of animal perfectng, 1t Is the Sc
lection OF parent stock, by which per-
lection Ia sought to be obtained and
not by perfect care Of animals that
have not the stock. The ilippant and
trite saying about man taking more
pains with his stock than he does with
his children Is the veriest Tommy-rot.
Mankind mates from affection, and
takes no more thought Of his progeny,
as a rule, than do the other animals.
That stronger race could be built
up by selection is undoubtedly true
but man left to himself will continue
to mate as his heart his affection die

than man, can do the selecting for the
human race that race will continue to
