periodicals. The champion Oregon
hen which laid over 800 eggs has this
characteristic to a rather striking de-
gree, so much so that she would be
disqualified in any exhibition of
fowls for standard requirements. We
have here at Joemma Farm more than
dozen 200 egg hens and almost with
out exception they have high tails.
After studying this feature of the
heavy laying hen | have come to fear
that the fancy breeders in their in
sistent demand for low sweeping tails
may be doing a positive injury to the
laying abilities of their fowls by Sc
lecting for tail carriage instead of
for egg production. Several breeders
who breed for fancy points have told
me from time to time that they can
select the heaviest layers in any flock
OF birds by picking out those birds
which conform most closely to the
standard. I have a standing offer of
a liberal reward for any man who can
come into one of my flocks and select
the heaviest layers by this or any
other method except the one | en-
ploy, that of trap-nesting all the hens
all the year round.
Referring to the Importance of
trap-n esting two of our most COM
petent authorities have recently taken
issue with Prof. Pearl of the Maine
Experiment station who claims that
heavy laying hens do not transmit
that quality directly to their daugh-
ters but through their sons to their
grand daughters. [ refer to Prof.
Dryden of Oregon who says that his
heaviest layers are bred from heavy
layers, and to w. H. Senborn of
Massachusetts who in a Lengthy article
in a recent poultry paper contims the
same theory by an abundance of
statistical facts coming under his
own observation.

that the markets of the future will
give the preference to sire of the
bacon breeds.
1t is peculiarly unfortunate that
hog cholera should be brought into
the Northwestern states. 1t might
have been kept out of these. 1t was
not here originally. but it has been
brought here. Hog cholera is al
ready in the Judith Basin. 1t is in
other portions Of the Northwest. 1t
is there because 1T has been brought
there. There was no necessity for
bringing it. Due precaution would
have kept it out, but evidently due
precaution was not exercised or it
would not have been introduced. 1t
will not avail to say that the climate
of those states is SO pure that it will
not nurse hog cholera. 1t is no more
pure than the climate of Great Britain
and yet hog cholera is plentiful there.
Hog cholera is germ disease. 1t
will come into any country into
which the germs are carried. and it
will flourish there howsoever pure
the climate may be.
When swine, therefore, are brought
into any part of the Northwest, let
those who bring them make absolute
ly sure that they do not come from a
cholera infested region. Let them
make absolutely sure that they carry
them in properly disinfected cars
These two precautions taken, they
need not bring in hog cholera.
The ranchmen of the Northwest
must not imagine that the pure air of
that region will give them immunity
from hog cholera. 1t will not, where

the germ is brought in but it may
lessen the mortality. They must not
conclude that the foods which may
grow will be safeguard. These will
lessen the mortality, bnt they will
not prevent the introduction of hog
cholera. When it comes it is brought
through the medium of some agency,
and usually due precaution will pre-
vent it from coming.

BRINGING SWINE INTO THE
NORTHWEST.
By Prof. Thomas Shaw.

In the Northwestern states the
ranchmen are giving much attention
to the introduction of swine. This
is true of all the Northwestern states,
particularly the Western Dakotas,
Montana, Washington and Oregon.
This move is certainly step in the
right direction. Pork at $500 per
hundred live weight is certainly bet
ter than wheat at 70 cents per bushel.
But there is right and wrong way
of going into pork raising. Persons
who are not familiar with the business
are pretty certain to take the wrong
way. At least they are quite as apt
to take the wrong method as the
method that is judicious and right.
What is meant by the wrong meth
cd? 1t means first, that farmers are
generally of the opinion that they
must purchase high bred sows, or
sows that are purely bred; and it
means second, that foundation stocks
may be brought in that will bring
hog cholera with them. The lack of
information on these two points is
going to cost the ranchmen dearly in
all the Northwestern states.
When choosing foundation sows, it
is not essential that they shall be
purely bred or even highly graded,
unless the ranchman is going to pro-
duce pure bred swine for breeding.
1t does not matter how mixed the
breeding. But it does matter that
the sows shall have good conforma-
ton. Good conformation means a
long body and enough of length of
limb to make the sowS active as
graziers during the season of grazing.
1t does not matter much what the
blood components are, providing the
conformation is as stated above.
Mixed blood elements are advanta-
geous, rather than prejudicial. for
the reason that the more mixed the
blood elements on the side of the
dam, the more rapid will be the i'm
provement when such dams are mated
with pure bred sires of any breed.
This is lesson that it is to be feared
not many ranchmen have learned and
1T is lesson which they are slow to
learn.
1t should be remembered that with
sows of mixed breeding improvement
comes chiefly from the sire if purely
bred. The more mixed the breeding
of the dam, the more surely will the
progeny resemble the sire. AS mar
kets are at the present time, it will
not matter much what breed the sire
comes from, but it is pretty certain

TRAP-NESTING WHITE VIVIAN
D0TTES.
By Joe Smith, Joemma Hen Farm,
Longbranch, Wash.


Longbranch, Wash.
It must be a qualification to all
breeders who are trying to develop
egg-laying strains of White Wyandot-
tes to note that the proposed new
standard of perfection will provide
for a longer body for that extremely
popular fowl. 1t certainly is graft
tication to me, and a number OF my
correspondents among Wyandotte
breeders have expressed the same feel
ing. And it is an unanimous opinion
of those breeders who have mention
ed the subject in our correspondence
that the new standard will permit OF
the development of heavier laying
strains of Wyandottes without depart
ing from the standard description.
In my own efforts at breeding bet
ter laying Wyandottes by means of
trap-nest selection | have found that
the heavy laying hens almost invari-
ably have longer bodies than called
for bv The old standard. One of my
correspondents, woman, who pro-
cured her foundation stock from
Candee, the incubator manufacturer
(who has trap nestled for fifteen years.
tells me that her birds are exception
ally heavy layers, but have long
bodies. while another woman living
in neighboring state who has made
an exceptional success breeding
layers tells me her heavy laying hens
possess the same characteristic.
NV original stock OF Wyandottes L
procured from man who had bred
them for show purposes. They were
beautiful to look at but did not lay
enough eggs to pay for their keep. L
discarded them and procured stock
from another source. In this stock L
found several heavy layers, the best
one producing 226 eggs in 365 days.
This bird has shape more resembling
a Plymouth Rock than a Wyandotte,
in fact she is almost a picture OF
Lady Show-You, the champion Mis-
souri, laying hen, even including her
high tail.
Here is another point in which a
heavy laying hen is very likely to de-
part from the standard. Almost in
variably she carries her tail very high.
For proof of this, one needs only to
call attention to any of the pictures
of heavy layers published in the
