 The dog also visited Mrs. Benjamin Holmes of South Main street and Will liam McGraths on Wood End road. At Mrs. Holmes, 10 fine chickens were killed and at MT. NfcGrath's four ducks were chewed to bits. The dog which was seen at McGrath's was a bird dog and folks are on the lookout for one Of this type. If found, the an imal will very likely have no more chances to do such destructive work.
 DEDICATION SERVICES.

Milan, bishop of Hartford, will be present to conduct the cere- mony A numer of social events have been planned for, in order to raise more funds for the church, as there is still quite a little work to be done on the inside such as placing win dows, decorating the pews and walls and other such finishing touches. More money is needed that the work can be finished up soon. The outside of the church presents a fine appearance and Is indeed a great improvement to the looks of the town.

 CHICKENS KILLED.
 Residents of the south end of the town were startled yesterday morn ing when they learned that several chicken GOODS in that vicinity had been visited by a large dog during the night and many fine fowls had been killed. At Stanley Beachs on South Elm street, a window was brol1- en and wire torn, indicating that the animal was a powerful one. Out of 50 fine chickens, including Plymouth Rocks brahmas, white leghorns and other fancy fowl, only one was found alive in the morning, the other 49 1y- ing on the floor in heaps. The blood bespattered walls of the coop and the feathers strewn about gave evidence of the awful slaughter. On account of the fact that the coop is some distance from the house, the

SEED FOR DISTRIBUTION.

EHE Department of Agriculture Of
the Washington State College
Is distributing a limited guam
tty of a few of the best selections
Of winter wheat and barley. The
varieties offered for distribution
have been found to be the best ones
grown at Pullman out Of a large
number tested. The purpose OF
sending out these grains is to re-
place some of the wheats that have
become mixed and start other grain
growers with pure seed.
RED Russian, Hybrid No. 143. Tur-
key and Winter Fife are included
among the wheats and Taps winter
barley is recommended for the bar
ley. This barley is a six rowed,
bearded barley and is the highest
yielding one tested at the Expert
ment Station. 1t is not desirable to
discard a variety which is giving
fairly satisfactory results for one,
the merits of which are unknown.
1t is the purpose of the department
to distribute these grains In small
quantities (from ten to 20 bushels,
depending upon the Variety so that
the grower can compare them with
the old variety that he has been
growing before planting the new va
riety in large quantities. The price
Is two cents per pound I. o. b. Pull

barley.
Inquiries concerning seed should
be addressed to the Division Of Farm

GREAT DEAL Is written and

n GREAT DEAL Is written and
"a preached about improving the
breed Of dairy cows, but 1t is
rs important to improve the breed
Of farm horses and much less Is said
about the matter. 1t is surprising to
learn that in Wisconsin, known as a
dairy state, the horses of the state
are worth much more than the dairy
cows. Efforts have been made in
that state to improve the breed Of
horses used, and a long campaign
has brought the horses to a high
value and efficiency.
The first thing to do Is to dis
courage the use Of scrubs IS breed
ing stock. This is difficult to do, for
the owners Of scrubs are too often
eager to employ every argument in
their power to persuade the farmer
10 allow service from the mongrel.
The chief argument is the low cost
Of service.
When the farmer realizes the in
creased value Of his stock when de-
scended from pure bred stations.
the service cost Is the least Of his
troubles. With the use Of pure bred
animals for sires in New Jersey, the
difference in selling value is aptly
illustrated by the statement Of a
farmer there. He said:
"After using a pure-bred sire, ]
find / can get 40 per cent more fol-
my colts"
Stick to One Breed.
There are some things which the
farmer should remember before he
sets out to improve his horse stock.
He should select the particular
breed which he admires most, OIL
which for some other reason he de-
cides to use, and stick to that breed

Bettering Farm Horse Breeds

Out crosses destroy half the value
Of the work he does. II he starts
with a Percheron sire, let him stick
to Percherons. II he begins with a
Clydesdale stallion, he should never
change to anything else.
For most farmers, the practical
way Is to grade up by using the
mares on his place for brood mares,
and get pure bred sires. Regarding
the choice of mares:
Do not breed any mare that Is
%deformed, sick, diseased, vicious, un-
sound, a poor mixer or a cross
mother. Select the brood mares
carefully, taking sound mares which
have proved serviceable on the farm
and which have the best material
points.
Do not breed to any sire which
is not purebred. But this is not the
only qualification; the stallion
should be sound, muscular and pre-
potent. Do not make the mistake
Of picking out the latest stallion.
Bulk is good, but 1t should. not 10
fat. The stallion in show condition
is not in the best breeding condi-
ton. The breeding stallion should
be In good work condition; In fair
but not full flesh; active, with a
good appetite; and never permit the
use Of a stallion which Is unsound,
unsuitable for your purposes on the
farm or partially impotent. Never
out-cross to another breed.
Shelter Mare.
After breeding, zee that the mare
has proper shelter and feed. This
may save scrubs. The mare with
foal should have some work, but
not too violent. She should be
favored but not spoiled.

Seager Wheeler says he "breeds"

grain or the best that he has grown
himself in the past season and sets
it out in trial plots. With the best
grain SO produced he sets out his
fields, continuing his breeding until
he is satisfied he has prize wheat.
Constant care and experimentation
is what Wheeler urges on those who
want to raise good grain. His farm
near Rosthern is only a short dis
