SPORTS OF The FARM
White Plymouth Rock Chicken Is
One of Most Familiar.
Another Interesting and Valuable d.
version 10 Development of PoIIed
Durham Breed of CattIe-The
Dwarf Tomato ls 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 un-
accountable change of character in
the offspring of perfectly normal pa
rents. This change may be slight, or
1t may be absolutely revolutionary,
but If 1t be true sport 1t 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 1t 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 ia
miliar. sports in animal world is the
White Plymouth Rock chicken. This
variety is 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 a 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 OF.
spring were usually hornless.
In the vegetable kingdom, one of
the latest sports is the Dwarf Tomato
which we told you about in recent
article. 1t came spontaneously from
tall stock, had full sized fruit in
smaller numbers, and the stalk was
stiff enough to support the fruit. It
Immediately became populor and bids
fair to supplant its parent variety for
held use, because 1t produces more
and better fruit to the acre.
Sports without number have oc.
CURED among the flowers and most
or 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.

DISEASE MAY BE PREVENTED
Fatal Malady 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 voidings 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
the bedding fresh and dry. Pens
should be cleaned out often and kept
free from filth. Disinfectants and
land plaster should be used in the

INCREASE IN FARM PROFITS
Farmers Make Serious Mistake Of
Spreading Energies Over Too
Large Area, Says Worst.

By ]. H. WORST. Dean of North Da-
kota Agricultural College.)
It requires approximately seven dol
lars per acre to grow crop. This
includes interest on the investment,
cost Of seed, wear and tear on farm
machinery, labor, etc. BY adding one
dollars worth OF labor to each acre,
there Is little question but that the
average profits would be doubled. In
other words, as much profit should be
realized from the one additional dol.
lars worth Of labor as is now realized
from the seven dollars worth of un.
avoidable labor and investment. Con.
seQuently II farmers would devote
sne-third Of their land to growing corn
and alfalfa, neither If which interferes
with the time and labor employed In
farming wheat, and put one-third
more labor. thus make available on
cnly two-thirds as many acres OF
wheat, they would grow more wheat

Same Thing.

Club Of Mutes In Paris.

A deaf and dumb club has been or
ganized at Paris. France. Two hun
dred men and women of the French
Deaf and Dumb union walked across
the great stone-paved square in front
of the Palace of Versailles on a re-
cent Sunday without a sound except
the sound make by their footsteps. In
dead silence they walked across the
Place st. Louis to the statue of the
Able de 'Epee. In dead silence their
leaders, who headed the procession,
laid wreath at the foot of the statue,
and in dead silence speeches were
made and applauded. The silent pro.
cession honored the memory, as they
honor 1t every year, of the man who
did for his afflicted countrymen what
Braile did for the deaf and dumb in
England. The club will shortly build

HOW TO SELECT CORN EARS
Difficult to Distinguish Between
Breeds Of Same coIor-Each Va.
rlety Has Characteristic Shape.

The first point in judging a sample
Of corn Is to determine its trueness to
the type or breed characteristics.
There are breeds Of corn, like breeds
of cattle which have peculiar colors
or forms which distinguish them. It
is difficult to distinguish between
breeds Of corn of the same color, but
this may be learned by experience in
handling corn of various breeds. In
pure corn of any breed there are GER
tain marks which may be easily rec
ognized.
Take the shape Of the ear, for ex-
ample. The ideal ear is cylindrical,
not too crooked or too tapering. 1t is
as difficult to find an ear of corn per-
feet In shape as 1t is to find COWS,
horses and sheep with perfect forms.
