Pure Bred Cow Produces $3.50 Prog.
=, eny in Five Years. 81
The term pure BRED is not a mere
live stock denoting quality It is
rather an assurance denoting pro
fitable investment The experience Of
Carl A. Rosenfeld. of Kelly, Iowa, will
illustrate. y rtl..r . a &5g n;
Five years ago Mr.. Rosenfeld bought
for $3.50 the pure bred imported Aber-
deem Angus COW Ethiopia of Cartridge,
with a. calf at foot. He bred her to
Earl Eric of Ballindalloch. ~ e.
A few days ago he sold Ethiopia and
six Of her progeny for 1915. Ethiopia
herself at years of age brought
sS05, SIS more than her purchase price
five years previous. Her grandson
Gay Eric 3rd, sold for $1,000 at the
sale. Besides these, Mr.. Resented re-
served three Of her calves for his own
breeding purposes In addition to the
sale prices Of the animals, their show
ring winnings were considerable. ,.
The story speaks for itself. 1t rep
resents in actual figures what one pure
bred COW has done for her owner and
the Angus breed in five years time.
The wise farmer does not need the
morals attached: Buy well bred cattle
and individuals; buy them as cheaply
as possible, but do not let the price
stand in the way Of securing the indi-
viduals; take good care Of them; there
is great demand for good cattle and
money to be made in dealing in stock

Then, For Breeding

AS the sows and gifts farrow this
spring mark with special sign those
which raise large 1itters--then stick to
them, is the advice Of the animal hus-
bandry department at Ames. 1t is no
easy matter to find really good mothers
and when discovered they are worth
far more to the breeder than the
butcher can afford to pay for them.
That the litter size of a breeding
sow increases with age. is shown. by a
study Of over 5000 Poland China swine
in this regard. The results reached
were these: :.
Average litter size from s-year-old
sows was 6.64. 7E r. r "

Federal Control Of
Interstate Shipments
Of Adulterated Eggs

3 The department Of agriculture has
had under consideration for some time
the application OF the federal food and
drugs act to the shipment in Interstate
commerce OF eggs in the shell, espe-
cially the two classes of eggs known
In the trade az current receipts and
as srejects''a from Gambling rooms.
Current receipts" contain at different
seasons Of the year varying proper
tions OF eggs which are filthy. decom-
posed or putrid. Rejects from
Gambling rooms. as rule. contain
large proportions OF eggs which are
filthy. decomposed. or putrid, and very
small proportions Of eggs suitable for
consumption. sJs 4
Under the federal food and drugs
net, eggs. in common with other ar
ticles Of food, are adulterated If they
consist wholly or in part of filthy.
decomposed, or putrid substance. Sec
ton . Of the act prohibits tho ship
mept In interstate commerce of foods
d which are adulterated and it is plain
that this prohibition applies to the
shipment In Interstate commerce If
current receipts" or Of rejects" from
Gambling rooms or OF any other grade
Of eggs in the shell unless the filthy.
decomposed, or putrid eggs have been
removed. tx. e.. = .l..., ~.
In the opinion OF the department,
eggs which contain yolks stuck to the
shell, moldy eggs, black spots. added
eggs, black rots, and any other eggs
which consist wholly or in part of a
filthy, decomposed, or putrid substance.
are adulterated. r.
The Investigations of the department
have shown that it is commercially
practicable. by the method Of Gambling,
to eliminate from any given shipment
most of the eggs of the kinds which
the department regards as adulterated
1t is not the practice Of the department,
however, to base proceedings under the
food and drugs act on shipments of
eggs unless there are. present larger
percentages of bad eggsFthan are or
dinarily present in recognized CONNER
cial grades of candled eggs. The de-
pArtInent is informed that cases OF eggs
are not allowed to receive even the
lowest candied egg grades II the cases
contain more than one and one-half
dozen or S per cent of bad eggs.
Country shippers who are not certain
OF the freshness Of their eggs should
candle them before shipping them in
interstate commerce. 3..,
Eggs which are adulterated may be
shipped in. interstate or foreign COM
merce for use in tanning or other tech
nical ways without violating the pro-
visions Of the food and drugs ace II
they are first denatured so as to render
them incapable Of being used for food.
Since It Is impracticable to denature
eggs in the she'll, adulterated shell eggs
must be broken out and denatured prior
to shipment.

PIGEONS CARRY CHOLERA.
Responsible For Spread of Swine
Plague on Farms, .

p Pigeons are responsible for about 20
per cent Of the spread Of hog cholera
according to the authorities who are
dealing with its eradication. The
farmer who Gyms or harbors pigeons
should either conflne them at home O..
dispose of them. Pigeons fly from
farm to farm in search Of food which
they generally find in the feed yards.
In flying long distances and visiting
many yards they easily get the germs
on their feet and infect whole neigh
borhood before people realize that
cholera is in their herds. In 1915 the
loss from hog cholera in the United
States was estimated at $3.50, 900, 900,
and K one-ffth Of this can be at
