is easier, safer and cheaper than any
other method of improving stock. The
one great danger in grading is that the
first results are so good that the breed.
er will be tempted to select sire from
the herd because he looks as good as a
purebred sire; whereupon all improve
ment stops
Crossing is practiced with best results
in only few cases. Certain breeds OF
pigs are sometimes crossed to get
healthy, vigorous, quick-maturing pigs
but these hybrids should all be sent to
the market and not used for breeding
Crossing is sometimes practiced to I
good advantage with plants. But it is
very difficult to secure blend or any
thing that will breed pure, because
there is too much chance for variation.
Line breeding is the practice Of re
stricting selection and mating to indi-
viduals of single line of descent. 1t
can and should be followed in connec-
ton with grading. To do this, select
sire from one certain family and never
breed to anything but of this family.
Line breeding is the best and safest
way Of improving animals 1t concen-
trates the characters, making them
stronger and more apt to appear strong
in all offspring. 1t decreases the
chances for great variation. In line
breeding, the breeder should never get
careless and select from the pedigree
alone. If he desires to keep inferior
animals from creeping into the herd,
never fail to select good individual
and then see that that individual has
the pedigree.
When line breeding is practiced to
such an extreme as breeding sire on
daughters, son on dam, or brother on
sister, it is called "inbreeding" or
breeding in and in" If the sire is
bred on the daughter the offspring will
have three-fourths the blood of the sire.
1t can be seen that this practice very
quickly concentrates the blood of the
sire and eliminates the blood of the
dam. Crossing brother on sister keeps
the blood lines strong, but does not in
tensify either. Inbred animals are
much more prepotent than others. BY
inbreeding the association Of characters
are preserved and not shattered by the
infusion of outside blood. But it must
be borne clearly in mind that these
same rules work with the poor char
acters of an animal just the same as
with the good, and herein lies the
danger Of inbreeding. For example, if
bull that shows the quality of pro
ducing good mixers, but has poor
constitution, is bred to his daughter
who has the same qualities, the off
spring will have doubly poor consti-
tuition, as well as a doubly good milk
quality. In this case the constitution
may be so poor that the offspring is
worthless even as a mixer.
1t is claimed by many men that
breed or family, if kept pure, will
finally run out This depends nearly
altogether upon the breeder. If he
loses sight of the important qualities of
constitution, fertility, and longevity in
selection and thinks only of the direct
ly useful characters, the family will
most certainly run out But if the
breeder will breed for these three char
acters as much as any other and feeds
and handles the animals we'll, the fam
lily is not likely to run out.

Methods Of Breeding.

Grading is the most practical method
of breeding for the farm or one who is
beginning in the stock business. BY
grading is meant the practice of using
purebred sire on herd of grade fe-
males. By this practice it is possible
to raise the standard of herd as high
as a purebred herd, for all practical
purpose, within six generations. If,
for example, a bull is continually
selected from purebred Jersey herd
for breeding herd of grades for six
generations, the herd would be 98.44
per cent pure Jersey blood. Grading

bits He took two segmentipo ova
from an Angora doe rabbit, which had
been fortified by an Angora buck
thlrty-two hours previously, and i'm
medlately transferred them to Bel
gan hare rabbit, which had been fer
tlllzed three hours before by buck of
same breed as herself. In due time
tbs Belgian hare gave birth to six
young. -Four resembled herself and
mate, but the other two were un.
doubted Angoras. The Angoras were
easily distinguished by their long.
silky hair and their habit of swaying
the head from side to side. Both the
Angoras were born bigger and stronger
than any others and they, all along,
maintained their supremacy in this di-
rectlon. The experiment shows that

veloped It's inherit characters per-
fectly in a foreign environment. If
the reader still holds to the belief that
experiences Of the mother just before
the young are born are transmitted he
might try an experiment of displaying
a green sheet before cow. If the
calf Is green, when born, there could
be no more argument against his
theory.
