no reason why she should not be in

menaces her and her children.

gether in the external appearance OF
the horse, while the factors for them
remain latent in the germ plasm. We
call gray dominant because a pure
bred gray mated with a bay, black or
chestnut, will invariably produce a
gray fOal While a gray fOal will
always come from such q mating the
foal will be a hybrid gray and part Of
it's germ cells will contain the factor
for gray and a part for the bay, if
the other parent was a bay.
A most interesting fac- concerning
a recessive trait like bay is that when
it is produced from parents one or
both Of which possess in their coat
color a dominant color ike gray, the
bay foal can in no way transmit the
gray of it's ancestry. The reason for
this is a pure bred gray produces germ
cells all Of which carry the factor for
gray. The pure bred bay can only
produce germ cells with the bay de-
terminer. When a hybrid gray foal
comes from One gray M n bay
parent it can produce two distinct
kind of germ cells. One kind con-
tains a determiner for gray, the other
kind a factor for bay.

VALUE OF THE HORSES COLOR
Extensive Research Work Has Shown
That Horses of Desired Color Can
BE Produced at Will.
Nv w - r

The question is often asked on
corning the value of coat color in
horses. There seems to be among
some breeders the idea thai strength
or endurance goes with the color.
There is no semblance of truth in
the traditional ideas of this nature.
There is no evidence that points of
value are in any way connected with
the Inheritance of coat color. The
factors or determiners which control
the transmission of color, so far as
we have been able to discover, are
independent of all other qualities.
ne color itself is no indication of a
good horse or Of a worthless one.
1t is usually considered that black
color is the one essential for a mule.

The statement CannOt be too en-

true that the color is Indication of the
real value of the horse there are those
who care for one color more than
for others. This is true when spans
are needed. 1t is imperative that they
be OF the same color and the same
shade if they are to be matched.
There should be no great difficulty in
breeding horses for any desired color.

colors promise to be of the greatest

for further research for the laws con-
trolling the transmission of gait, speed,
style, stamina, conformation, intelli-

which add value to the horse.

upon a more scientific basis. There

INCREASED USE OF FRUIT
GRADING MACHINES

More careful grading and packing
of apples demands that only apples of
one size be put in a package. Some
packers become so expert that they
can grade an apple with their eye, but
a lot of growers are going to use APP
pie grading machines this year to size
the fruit. A m of machines are
now on the market. They have been
developed by practical men, SO that it
is reasonable to suppose that some of
them will be in every way satisfac-
tory.
The requirements are first that the
fruit be graded without any bruising,
second that the apples be graded ac-
