Selection of Sire Often
Proves PuZzling Question

n a very interesting contribution to the
i Journal of Heredity on "Prepotency,"
by Professor Edward N. Wentworth, of
the Kansas Agricultural College, We read
this short sentence:
Breed history records many prepotent
sires that bred better than themselves"
There Is so much wrapped up in that
sentence of great significance to the
breeder that perhaps 1t Is worth while
to consider it for a moment. Ii we I'M
derstand tie meaning of the author it Is
this: That many prepotent sires were in
ferior in form and appearance to the
progeny they produced. He instances the
%trotter, George Wilkes, and the Short
Horn champion of England as instances
OF the truth of his assertion. Almost any
breeder of dairy cattle of experience and
close observation can recall numerous in
stances where the greatest perfection OF
form in a sire was followed by serious
disappointment in the milking qualities
of his female offspring.
Ezra Kitchener, the breeder of the sire
of the great Guernsey cow, Dolly Bloom,
told a friend that he was one of the most
unsatisfactory, and, as he expressed it,
'ornery" looking bulls he ever saw. Yet
this bull sired one of the greatest lows
of the breed. Now this leads US to ask in
breeding for large performance in cows,
how far We should be governed by our
ideas of physical beauty and perfection Of
form In selecting a sire.
And yet we may safely say that such
qualities will tip the scale with most OF
us. And there we are, striving for one
thing, the great thing, milking qualities,
and judging of them and for them W
standards that evidently have nothing to
do with them.
1t is quite evident that il We would
choose wisely We must look deeper for
the governing principle in sire and dam
than our notions Of beauty and impress
s~iveness in that line to make 1t inviting
to follow. And so we are forced back to
that old maxim: Handsome is that
handsome does"
With all of the experience the world
has gained on this question, the selection
of a sire p~repotent in the right direction
is about as puzzling a question now as it
ever was.-Selected.

Raising an Orphan Colt Is
Not Always Difficult Job
BY A. S ALEXANDER.

BY a. S ALEXANDER.
IN case the mare dies or has no milk
the foal may be raised on cows milk,
If the attendant conducts the work pa
tiently and intelligently. Choose the
milk of a COW that has recently calved,
preferably one which gives milk low in
butter fat, for mares milk, while rich in
sugar, is poor in fat. Sweeten the milk
with molasses or sugar and dilute with
warm water. Give a little of this pre-
pared milk at short intervals from a
scalded nursing bottle and large rubber
nipple. Be careful to keep the bottle and
nipple %scrupulously clean. Add an ounce
of lime water to each pint of the prepared
milk and allow half a cupful once an
hour at first.
AS the foal grows, gradually increase
the amount of milk fed and lengthen the
intervals between meals. In a few days
food may be given six times a day and.
later, four times daily. The foal will
soon learn to drink from a pail If allowed
to suck the attendants fingers at first.
Until the bowels move freely. give
rectal injections night and morning. If
the foal scours at any time, give two to
four tablespoonful Of a mixture of sweet
oil and pure castor oil shaken up in milk

meals, allowing sweetened warm water
and lime water instead. Let the fOal lick
oatmeal as soon as it will eat and gradu-
ally increase the amount and add wheat
bran. In five or six weeks some
sweet, skim milk may be given and the
amount gradually increased daily until,
in three months or so, 1t may be given
freely three times a day in place of new
milk. The foal at this age also will be
eating freely of grass, grain and bran.
AT all times supply pure cold drinking
water. Let the foal run out in a lot or
grass paddock for exercise. Accustom 1t
to be handled daily. Feed small quaint
ties of nutritious food often, keeping all
food vessels clean, and the foal should
thrive and develop well. Remember that
n colt should at all times be adequately
fed so as to develop 1t perfectly. Practic-
ally half of the full weight of a horse is
gained during the first IL months of its
lie. If stunted during this period the
colt never develops properly; it, there
fore, pays to feed generously.

The almost human instinct possessed
by trained cavalry and artillery horses
provides q striking illustration OF
equine intelligence. They understand
the words OF command quite as well
as their riders and drivers and will

Is Your Drinking Water Pure?

Is the water in your well pure +? If
you had typhoid last year it will
pay you to- have the doctor send a
bottle of fit to the State Board of
Health to be examined.
Have your well enclosed, if you
possibly can. Remember that most
of the typhoid-bearing water comes
from springs and open wells.
If you are not sure of the water,
boil it, 1t is great trouble but it is
easier than caring for a typhoid pa
tient.
The unpalatable taste of boiled wa
ter is due to the fact that the boiling
drives the air out of the water. IN
less you have some perfectly clean

the water stand in, pour it from one

START A "MEAT RING"

The "meat ring" as an exchange
reminds us, is a good form Of
neighborhood cooperation for hot
weather. "In communities where the
distance to the meat market is great,
many farmers are almost compelled
to do without fresh meat during the
summer months for the reason that it
is too far to town and there are no
farm facilities for keeping a carcass.
The way out Of the difficulty is to
form a neighborhood meat ring
whereby a group of farmers combine
for the summer killing of beef or
other animal at stated intervals, the
carcass being divided among the
farmers of the ring. This is case
of the farmers being producers, mid
mleman and consumers all in one."-
