BREEDING OF YOUNG
STOCK is HARMFUL
Practice, If Carried on for Sue
cessive Generations, Is Sure
to RosuIt Fatally.
(By r. O. wEATHERsToNE.)


IL there Is any one thinS more than
another that win cause ,the fock on a
farm to run out" it is. the practice of
breeding from immature stock.
l am aware that. the temptation Is
strong to allow Big. strong eve lamb
to become a mother at one year old
and doubtless many are so bred that
do attain their normal strength and
development in time, but this practice,
II carried on for successive genera
tions, is sure to result fatally.
The great feature that helps TO sell
a lamb is its quality OF flesh spiced,
as 1t were, by a generous supply of
baby fat. The offspring of a eve
lamb. poorly nourished as it must nee
essarily be, has not the same rich,
Juicy meat that is found In the lamb
from the big. strong, well-developed.
nourished eve. Such a lamb cannot
bring over onehalf or two-thirds what
another lamb from good mother will
sell for.
The profit from such a lamb is more
than Offset by the loss In size and use
tulness Of the ewes.
An animal comes into the world
rith series Of fixed characteristics.
ana Its sise is one OF them. The exact
size depends upon the matured size
Of each and every ancestor.
The massive Shire Is the product of
the rich pastures and heavy nutritious
feeds OF England. The little Shetland
Of the cold and barren slopes of the
north.
They have the same common an
cestry. yet by an abundance of feed
the medium sized aboriginal horse is
suppinnted by the magnificent stall
lion.
By a scarcity Of feed we have the
little midget Of Shetland. Genera,
tions of breeding have fixed these
characteristics. yet 1t is possible under
a system of scanty feed continued for
endless generations to reduce the size
of the Shire. Certainly 1t is possible
by heavy feeding for centuries to
cause the midget Shetlands to become
considerably greater in size.

TEN that brings about the results.
Sc with the breeding of the eve
lambs, one generation may do little.
The eve may take a little longer to
mature but her size will be only lit
tie less! There is the rub.
A small, stunted. scaraway flock,
old even at birth. discouraged with
the conditions disgusted with life and
with only one redeeming character
istic. They breed young. often ind
prolifically.
But TO what end? The farmer does
not want them. The butcher discrim
mates against them and they are a
drug on the market.
Truly @ pitiable spectacle, yet one
that is sure to follow II the practice OF
early breeding is followed TO its ulti-
mate result
Contrast this flock with that OF the
careful, thinking man whose animals
are allowed to mature before being
bred There we find flock OF big,

that are regular butter balls at birth

Congress Puts Good

Stringent Measure Against Use

Effect March 1, 1915

A new Narcotic law went in

ilized nations have been trying
to form some law or regulation
to stop the use of habit-forming
drugs. Such a law was recent

Washington.
This makes it national IN its
