$9916 VERDICT IN
McK|NNoN CASE

Bangor. Me. April 25-The. jury in
the suit of Pope d. Mcknnon of Ban
gor against the Bangor Railway &
Electric Company for personal injuries
to his 10-year- old son, John Mckinnon,
returned a verdict Of $9916 after DELHI
Grating about an hour and a half Tues
day afternoon.
The boy lost an arm and sustained
other injuries when he was caught be-
tween two electric cars on kenduskeag
Bridge in February of last year. One
car was following closely upon another
and when the first car stopped the
of the second was unable
on account of the slippery rail. to stop
in time to avoid a slight collision with
the other car. The Mckinnon boy was
crossing the street, not on an estab-
ished crossing and running between
the cars was damned.
The case has been on trial two days
The palintiff claimed negligence in OPP
Grafton of the cars, while the defense
was a denial of liability and contribu-
tory negligence on the part of the boy
An appeal was at once entered and
the case will go to the law court

THE AGE OF BREEDING STOCK
An Important Factor in the Improvement of
Dairy Cattle

Of his DAUGHTERS. But $50 per cent.
Of all the calves covered in these sta
tistics were sired by bulls under three
wears of age. In other words, in the
breeding operations of a large number
Of Names most progressive and wide
awake (for such the men furnishing
these statistics are) more than half of
the calves produced in given interval
of time are sired by bulls about whose
ability to transmit milking qualities alb
solutely nothing definite can by any
possibility be known. 1t is doubtless
entirely fair to assume that essentially
the same conditions regarding cattle
breeding methods obtain in other places
generally. Is it remarkable that pro-
gress is so slow?
In the female half of the herd the
conditions are better. We see that if
we exclude heifers breed for their first
calves, the average age of the breeding
cows is approximately five and half
years. This is an age when, on the
average, cows are nearly if not quite at
their best as regards milk production.
Out of S7S calves, 1855, or 1879 per
cent. were the first calves of heifers.
successfully served for these first
calves was approximately one year and
seven months. Three-quarters of the
heifers were successfully served for
their first calves before they were 2.1
years old.
All of this shows that while the pro-
gressive dairyman of Maine is keeping
the composition of his herd at about
the maximum of efficiency SO far as
concerns the females, he is taking no
steps whatever except in occasional
and isolated instances to make any
thorough test of whether the herd bulls
which he uses are capable Of transmit
ting, good milking qualities to their
daughters. In the absence of such
tests, together with the frequent
changes Of herd bulls which is implied
it can only be said that the method
of breeding dairy cattle commonly fol-
lowed is essentially haphazard and in
no way calculated to lead to an i'm
provement of the breed or of the in
dividual herd.
The data on which the above state
ments are based are derived from the
cooperative cattle breeding records
which the Station is obtaining from
leading cattle breeders and dairymen of
the state. More co-operators in this
work are earnestly desired Anyone
reading this. who is interested in helping
along this work and willing to furnish
records of his own cattle breeding OPP
erations, is requested to write to the
Biologist of the Maine Agricultural EX-
pertinent Station. DR.. Raymond Pearl,
Orono. Maine, who has this work in
charge. Information regarding the ma
ture of the cooperative work and the
necessary blanks will be supplied.

| Orono, Me-. April 26.-(SpeciaD-
age Of the breeding animals is an i'm
portant factor in many problems Of
cattle breeding. In the first place it
10 q well known fact that the milk pro-
duction Of a cow changes with her
age in q definite way. The precise
manner in which this change occurs
has been worked out at the Maine Ag-
ricultural Experiment station and is
Incapable Of expression as a definite
mathematical law. This means that
the profitable limits Of age of COW as
cision. What is the composition Of the
average herd with reference to the age
Of the cows composing it? Is it in
major part made up Of cows at their
most productive ages?
Again the question Of age is Of direct
importance in any comprehensive
scheme Of herd improvement by breed
! ing. No principle of genetic science
lappears to be more solidly grounded
than that progeny performance is the
only sure test Of breeding worth. But
df a herd bull is disposed Of before any
Of his progeny have reached an age
where their performance rs mixers, for
example, can be measured, then clearly
! this guiding principle Of progeny test
is playing no part in the breeding Of
Che herd. Without this principle in &C
tive operation the breeder is in much
the circumstances of a mariner with
out compass. Progress towards de-
sired goal is possible, but it is likely
20 be by a very roundabout and hap
hazard route, and is sure to be very
\ slow.
! 1t is a matter Of considerable interest
! to examine statistically the age Of
breeding cattle in the hands of progress
sive Maine farmers and breeders. Data
on this point have recently been care
fully studied at the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station. In the case Of
nearly 100 successful services the
ages of the animals at the time when
they were bred successfully have been
subjected to statistical analysis. From
the figures so obtained it is shown that
the average age of the herd bulls used
to sire the 967 calves included in the
statistics was just under three years.
The medan age of these herd bulls was
approximately two and a half years.
This means that one-half Of the calves
were sired by bulls under two and
half years old at time of service. Sew
enty- five per cent. of all the calves Gas
| shown by the third quartile age) were
sired by herd bulls less than about
three years and nine months old at
time of service. Less than Is per
cent of the calves were sired by bulls
| five or more years old.
| Let us consider for moment what
these facts mean bu1l muSt he a
least three years old before the breed
pr can possibly have had any opportu-
nifty to test the milk producing ability
