Careful BREEDING
IS ONLY FOUNDATION
FOR EGG PRODUCTION

! Careful breeding 10 . good founda-
ton upon which to build successful
/ egg production. The poultry depart
mont At Purdue university has been
keeping careful records Of their Sin
lie Comb White Leghorns during the
last five years. and by using pedi-
,grees In selecting the breeders. some
good layers have been produced.
In the first four years Of work at
the. experiment station only two Leg
horns produced 200 or more eggs In
one year. In. 1915 dozen pullets
have exceeded the 200 egg mark by
October /. This good, production II
thought to be due to careful mating.
Many people fear the term inbred
Ing" believing that breeding Of close
relationship will surely prove .detri-
mental to. the flock. Line breeding.
commonly known a. careful inbred
ing, has been the source Of much
good results in breeding. Only by It
can blood lines be concentrated or
the characteristics Of the parents ex.
list in the offspring In percentage
greater than one-half. ~
The trap nest is the only sure means
OF measuring a hens egg production
Continued trapnesting for more than
one year will often bring surprises.
Following are two examples OF the
value OF line breeding and the use OF
the trap nest. -, 49,.
Hen No. 1416 laid only ~ eggs as
a pullet,~ but in the following four
years laid ia, 149, 147. 1877 eggs. In
1912 she was mated to her son. No.
1915, and produced No. ~72O who laid
~ tn
three years OF life. This hen mated
back to 1915, produced No. 1901, that
has laid 211 eggs. This pullet mated
back to 1918 produced four daughters
that were. laying by September 10TH
blood of his dam No. 1915. No. 720
had three-ouarters; No. 3OO1 had five
Fights, and the pullets nine-sixteenths
of the blood of No. 1916. Thus four
generations after the hen was first
mated there. existed several pullets
with predominance OF her blood.
Another interesting mating is with
the famouss hen Miss Purdue. This
bird laid 224 eggs as a pullet and 21S
eggs year old hen. Her number
was 272. Mated to Male No. 1854
she produced Male No. 572. This
male mated back to No PIP produced
Pullet" No. '3O19 who has laid 202 eggs.
This hen mated back to No. 572 pro-
duced a pullet that was laying by
September IL, 1915. This means that
the pullets Matched in 1915 are five
eights OF the blood Of Miss Purdue.
Other -puliets from Miss Purdue's
blood that are laying we'll in 1915 are
No. 3015 with 200 eggs, No. 3013 with
211 eggs.
Pedigree breeding with poultry 10
as practical as with cattle, and is the
only sure means Of breeding up high
egg production

CHINESE TRUE TO THE REPUBLIC

II necessary to suppress the ultra-rad-
lcals and to take measures looking to-
ward the consolidation OF the new re-
public, he has won the confidence of
these conservative Chinese business
men by .discousaging graft, even by
the stern process of executing high Of
ficials convicted OF corruption. and bv
making it clear that he is keeping the
interests of the people well in hand. In
the China OF the present generation
the conception of empire stands for op-
preston, graft, corruption, disloyalty
TO the people. The republic, as now
administered, stands for the interests
or China as a whole, with an increas-
Ing measure Of honesty and efficiency.
Moreover. 1t should not be forgotten
tnat even the radical revolutionists
and their supporters in America who
were ready to oppose Yuan Shih-k'ai
when they feared that he was seeking
power for himself, ceased their oppo.
s1tlon and promised to send to him not
less than a million dollars gold from
abroad to stop the oppression of the
japanese. They trusted him when
they needed strong man.
Japan stands for empire The Chi
nese people, including these conserva-
tive business men, fear the Japanese
above all others as representatives of
imperialism. They like and favor
Americans above all other nations as
representatives of republicanism be-
cause the American Republic has not
attempted aggression but has tried to
deal with them justly. When it comes
TO sway1ng public opinion, there is
much In name; and millions of Chi
nese, at home and abroad, who have at
heart the republic. are prepared to
give their property, If necessary their
lives, under the direction of a republi-
can President. to oppose foreign i'm
perialism; but these same men would
give their money and their lives to op-
pose the same leader II they thought
he was trying to establish in China a
personal Imperialism.
Yuan Ehih-k'ai is much stronger as
President than he would be as Emper.
or: In his position as President he is
able to render to his country q far
greater service. And his country needs
the best service that he can give.

The reports from Pekin that Presi-
dent Yuan Shih-k'ai Is seriously con-
sidering the advisability of making
himself Emperor and that Mr.. Frank
]. Goodnow, president Of Johns Hop
kins University. the adviser on con-
stitutional questions, has recommend
ed this change, need serious consider
alton. Definite information from the
Foreign Office in Pekin says that
such was DR.. Goodnow's general opin-
ion on a purely theoretical question.
OF course, there is a great difference
between general theoretical question
and advice to be followed in a specific
case.
When it was evident that the Man
chu dynasty must fall, was at first
personally inclined to the opinion, as
were, think a majority of non-Chi-
nese, that probably the best plan for
China would be the establishment of a
new Chinese dynasty, with possibly
descendant of Confucius or Of one Of
the earlier Chinese dynasties on the
throne, and with Yuan Shih-k'ai as
Prime Minister. And that opinion was
based on the fact, as Dr. Goodnow says
that China had been an empire for
centuries.
When, however, tho sentiment rap
idly developed for the establishment
Of a republic, and 1t became evident
that nothing else would satisfy the
revolutionary element, which seemed
to include q large majority not only
Of the young men who had been edu-
Gated abroad but also goodly group
Of the influential, conservative, sound
business men, that in itself put a DIFF
ferent aspect on the question.
There is little doubt as to the facts.
The feelings of these conservative peo-
pie regarding their present govern
ment seem to be based largely on two
judgments; First, one of wellfounded
distrust Of the empire and of the
methods employed by the officials un-
der it, especially the system of self
seeking and graft; the other, conf
dence in Yuan Shin k al as a man who
is trying to eradicate graft, to work
in the interests of the country as a
whole, and to give heed to the wishes
and judgment of the progressive yet
thoughtful people in the republic.
