give them thorough airing in or
der to stay with them the next day.
Well the health officer got after
him and threatened to quarantine
him for contagious disease unless
he hauled in his feet. The conse-

went to using Barker's Antiseptic,

HORSE BREEDING IN
PIERCE COUNTY

Horse breeding conditions stand
at tie in Pierce county at present,
with a total Of "a pure bred STALL
ions in use against an equal num-
Der Of grades and scrubs. However,
the showing made by their colts is
slowly winning the day for the
pure breds. After seeing a good
foal bv a pure bred sire few breed
ers care to take trouble with other
kind.
According to the department Of
horse breeding. University Of Wis
consin, there were in the county
% pure bred stations and 43 grad
es and scrubs in 1907, when the
first reliable figures regarding stall
lion enrolment were available.
Wisconsin was the first state in
the country to adopt a systematic
plan for the improvement of horse
breeding through the elimination of
grade and scrub sires. The work
is in charge of DR.. A. S. Alexander
of the College of Agriculture, Uni
versiry Of Wisconsin, who reports
that about So per cent of all the
stations used for breeding purposes
in the state are pure bred. In 1907
IS per cent of the total number
were grades and scrubs.
The horsemen of this county who
are helping the cause of better
breeding by keeping pure bred sires
are:
