there are many fiocks in the state,

evidence OF the careful selection OF

This Indifferent spirit has beer a po-
tent factor In hurting the popularity

state.
Use a Pure Bred.
In the first place. the ram selected
should, by all means. be n pure bred
OF the breed and type best represented
by the ewes. for there is no class OF
live stock that will give such quick re-
turns in u%pgrading by the use OF a
pure bred sire. or that will show de
teriorating results SO soon with the
use of a scrub or grade sire as with

There are three chief fundamentals
to govern one in the selection of q
sire, namely: individuality. pedigree
and performance. The question OF
whether individuality or pedigree is
OF more Importance in the choosing
OF an animal for breeding purposes, is
one which has caused considerable
controversy among livestock men in
the past However. 1t Is a question
which must be compromised rather
than definitely decided one way or the
other. 1t is certain that the wise
breeder will emphasize both the in
dividuality and the pedigree when
purchasing sires.
In considering the individuality of
g. sire. there are a few points which
must be especially emphasized. These
are in the main as follows: conforma-
ton. size, masculinity. constitution
aid trueness to breed type.
Conformation should be emphasized,
for 1t Is in this that We look for much
in the animal hat goes to make 1t
fulfill the purpose for which 1t is
grown. If it is a beef animal, we look
for q conformation or build which
when the animal is killed and dressed
will yield the highest per cent Of
beef and the lowest per cent. of waste.
1t Is In the conformation that we
look for strength OF bone, straightness
and smoothness Of lines and symme-
try of body, all of which are conducive
to a high dressing per cent.
L is self-evident that size is an inn
portant factor In the selection of a
sire. In the breeding of farm animals
especially those designed for meat
purposes. size is simply a factor of
profit. That is so long as quality is
not sacrificed for It. Therefore, it is
important that we demand size to

obtain more pounds and consequently
more profit.
Masculinity and trueness to breed
type are two very important factors
in the selection of a sire. The chief
reason being that they are indicative
of the animals power to transmit MS
own characteristics. A strong, bold
masculine outlook is an important
point in selecting a sire and If he
furthermore is true to the type oil
the breed TO which he belongs 1t is
an indication that he and his forbears
have been carefully bred and selected
to represent the approved type. we
then to a limited degree conclude that
he will transmit the desired charac-
teristics.
Constitution is another factor which
is self-evident In its Importance. No
farmer desires to raise a strain OF
animals which are constitutionally
weak. Therefore, in selecting a sire,
we emphasize depth and width OF
chest, strength of middle, boldness OF
action and clearness and fulness or
eye.
The last named fundamental, per-
formance, is one which usually of ne
cessity must be omitted in the selec-
ton of a sire. BY performance we
mean the tried and successful ability
of the sire to transmit desirable char
acteristics. Such sires are difficult to
obtain.
Ii is most certain that the tried
sire is the safest bargain that can be
obtained. If the tried sire cannot be
obtained, then one, with the correct
conformation and one which at the
same time shows in his pedigree a
line of successful parents, grandpa
rents and great grandparents should
be purchased.

In answer to a query as to the best
method of storing potatoes the Rural
New Yorker makes the following re-
ply:
In storing potatoes We use neither
cellar nor loft. AS soon as the potatoes
are dug in the summer, we pile them
in heaps under the shade of some
large trees. Sometimes We make cone
shaped piles by dumping the baskets
over the same point and letting the po-
tatoes spread out as they will; while
at other times We make ricks of them

ALL "UP IN THE AIR."

An Illinois inventor proposes to
transport Kansas oil and wheat TO
market by means of airships. He
has written to the secretary of state
about the matter and wants TO get in

to put in the enterprise. He says that
airship transportation will make the
oil and wheat producers absolutely in

INEFFECTIVE ARRANGEMENT.

We see that some members of the
Republican city committee have 4 good
deal Of fault to find with the municipal
commission of this city, although the

resolution. This fault. finding, how.

chiefly upon general lines, and the i'm.
mediate and best explanation of it is
that the commission is not political

to be. If the city commission were a
political body, Republican and subser-
Went to the partisan bosses, there in no
doubt in the world but that the whole
of the Republican committee would, in
place Of assailing it, rally to it's defense
from all attacks. This is so evident
a fact that the complaint of the Jeu-
sou-supporting members Of the city
committee, interested and partisan as
it is, is entirely shorn of its force. The
fact that row has broken out on the
point whether that resolution was
laid on the table or not. and the lie
passed, cuts no particular figure so far

luton is concerned.
