Is now able to dispose of every pound
of his grain and as the wheat is going
out gold from abroad is coming In to
pay for 1t. The farmers lof tho United

account When tho fact Is considered
that clearance from United States ports

that tho movements has been restricted

the actual clearances would roach were

many countries of the Old World Of
lack. of food supplies.
1t has boon said all along that the
foreigner would not come into our mar
ket for corn. This has been shown to
be mistake. as the purchases OF old
corn has cleaned up the supplies avail
abio. and 1t Is now said that goodly
amounts of the new crop have already

as the condition Is guaranteed
Wheat continues to move of the
Farms and out of the country elevators
OF the Southwest and Northwest as
rapidly as cars can be furnished by the
railways. and the grain moved to the
sea board The heavy movement shows
shat farmers are willing to part with
their wheat Mt present price levels.
Speculation in wheat has been on a
somewhat larger scale. and the trade
has been mainly between exporters
and the actual producers OF the grain,
coupled with good room trading bust
ness. The public has taken hold only
on tho soft spots. and these spectators
have continued to sell on advances
wherever possible.
The price of corn will pivot on the

with the question as to whether It will

most interesting fact concerning

It is produced from parents one or
both OF which possess In their coat

bay foal can In no way transmit the

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 hybrid gray foal
comes from ono gray and ono bay
parent 1t can produce two distinct kind
of germ cells. One kind contains a
determiner for gray. the other kind O

PROMOTING EGG-LAYING
IN THE COLD SEASON

| The production of eggs is an easy
matter In the spring and summer. but
to raise summer product In the depth
OF winter Is a difficult, problem. The
egg farmer" should make. every eff
| fort to secure the production OF eggs
In winter because upon success in this
direction very largely depends the INIT
| ter OF profit for the year. Eggs are
dearer in the winter. and. aside from
the question OF Immediate profit. those
who are Interested in egg production
as business >must be In position to

!! The time to prepare for the winter,
Is. Of course. in the spring and summon.
but 1t Is timely to say that good winter
laying breeds should be kept The

| strain and bred, where possible. from
several generations of good winter lay
ers. Puliets kept for. winter laying
| should be selected from those which
have been Matched neither too early nor

Experts admit that no single breed
can be said to be best for winter lay

suitable in others. The weight OF owl
dence. however. points to the fact that
for winter laying, small nonsettlng

better winter layers. Popular among
these breeds are Plymouth Rocks.

Proper housing facilities should be

greatest value in promoting winter lay

strong the inherent instinct may be, a
hen cannot produce eggs II not supplied

1t is certain that profits and results

from corn alone, for these are not sur
ficiently heterogeneous and do not supply
proper material for egg laying, unless
fed in combination with other foods.

G. l.. B., Montgomery County: II is
hard to guess where you get your ideas
about ''moiasses foods for Virginia
grown cattle. However, a gentleman
who knows something of the subject
tells me that so-called molasses feeds
nre often used when the cattle and
horses are being conditioned for mar
'ket or the show ring. They seem to
relish a certain amount of such food
and can be induced TO eat more than
they otherwise would. There Is no
reliable experimental data which would
Warrant the statement that molasses
Will produce larger gains than sound
wholesome grain foods, but many feed
crs and exhibitors seem to favor it's
use. These 'molasses feeds" would
doubtless cost you more than the feeds
we are used to in Virginia.

A Black Horse OF Excellent

color itself is no indication OF good
horse or of worthless one.
IT Is usually considered that black
color is the one essential for a mule,
but some of the best spans Of mules
in the country are gray, and we know
OF some valuable dun-colored mules.
The statement cannot be too en-
phatic that speed. intelligence, vigor
and other good trials are inherited
independent of color. While It is true
real value OF the horse there are those
who care for oTc 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
~ they are to be matched. There
should be no great difficulty in breed
Ing horses for any desired color.
The laws governing the heredity Of
colors promise to be Of the greatest
value as an indication OF the method
for further research for the laws con-
trolling the transmission of gait. speed.
style. stamina, conformation, intelli-
gence, docility. and all the qualities
which add value to the horse
The breeding of horses can be put
upon more scientific basis. There are
small bodies, or chromosomes. In the
germ cells which determine what the
color shall be. 1t Is only n fair In
ference that there are similar deter
miners I'm the germ cells for the trans
mission OF every valuable trait. The
physical basis OF herodity rests In the
small bodies. or chromosomes. within
the nucleus of the germ cells. There
appears to be separate body for each
quality whether 1t is from mans point
OF viewfi good or bad. The physical
basis for traits arc called factors or
determiners. The horse. like all COM
pick living organism, is made up OF
unit characters, some desirable. some
undesirable. For man something like
$500 traits or units have been cata-
logued. The laws governing the trans
mission OF many of the human traits
have been formulated.
Our studies show the colors of horses
to be unit characters. and that they
behave az simple Mendelian units.

Professor w. S. Anderson argues
that extensive,research work has shown
that horses of desired color can be
produced at will. He says:
The question Is often asked con-
cernfng the value of coat color In
horses. There seems to be among some
breeders the idea that strength or en-
durance goes with the color.
L There is no semblance OF truth in
the traditional Ideas of this nature.
There Is no evidence that points Of
value arc In any way connected with
the Inheritance of coat color. The
