STARTING WITH LIVE STOCK
Gradins-up Method Recommended as
Best Beginnins-Use Best Pure
Bred Sire ObtainabIe.

The average farmer starting into
the live stock business is not in shape
financially to purchase purebred stock
and conduct the business the way it
should be. Purebred breeders should
not try to set men up in the breeding
business who have but very little
money and practically no experience.
An amateur, starting under such con-
ditions, is almost sure to fail and in
stead of being a booster for better live
stock, curses the breed that lost him
money and the purebred breeders in
general.
Those without considerable expert
ence and some capital. wishing to start
in the live stock business. will find
the grading-up method the best in
use.
Grading up a herd by the use of a
purebred sire is the safest beginning,

GOOD MARKET SQUADS
Best Breeding Stock Is an Es-
sentiaI to Success.
Runt Pigeon Is One Of Largest, But
Not as Prolific or as Good Breeder
or Feeder as Homer-carneaux
ls Popular.

Prolific pigeons producing large
squads are commonly kept confined in
pens, which involves proper housing
and a fiyway, or outside yard, COW
cred with wire. Common pigeons, al
lowed their freedom, are less prolific
and produce smaller squads. A study
of New York SQUAD quotations shows
that the price per dozen for dressed
squads fails rapidly as the weight
goes down and the other departs from
white. While prime white weighing
ten pounds to the dozen brought $3.75
per dozen in March. last year. in New
York, six-pound squads were not
quoted above So per dozen. while $1.50
was the high price per dozen for dark
squads, and culls brought only five or
six cents apiece.
OF the squab-raising varieties the
Homer is considered the most popular
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-06-09
White Runt Female.

variety. The habit of this bird Of
returning home II allowed freedom
makes it necessary to confine pigeons
purchased from other lofts. The
Carneaux pigeon has recently become
popular as a squab producer. This
variety is somewhat larger than the
Homer and 1t is stated is about as
prolific. Several other varieties Of
pigeons larger than the Homer are
used on small scale in SQUAD raising,
especially in crossing with the Homer
and Carneaux to increase the size of
squads. The Runt is one Of the largest
but is not as prolific or as good a
breeder or feeder as the Homer.
Some of the other varieties reported
used as SQUAD breeders are the Dra-
goon. White Maltese or hen pigeon.
the White King and common pigeon.
Good breeding stock is an essential
of success in squad raising. but as it is
difficult to tell the age and sex of
pigeons. and age is very important,
1t is necessary to buy from reliable
breeders and preferably those who
guarantee their product. Variety
alone does not insure successful squab
production. The birds differ indi-
vidually and they should be selected
for their productive power and vitality.
for quality and size Of their squads
and their ability to feed and rear
offspring. Dark-colored skins, legs or
beak indicate poor quality of flesh,
bringing lower prices on markets.
Care should be taken to select breed
ing birds which have white or pinkish
white skin and light-colored legs.
Pigeons are most valuable as SQUAD
producers when from two to six years
of age. although many will breed un-
til they are about eight years old. The
small varieties mate and breed at five
to six months, and the large varieties
at eight to nine months. II is advis-
able, therefore, to buy mated pigeons
from two to three years old, or to Sc
cure young birds six to eight weeks
old and tame them at the proper age.
All squads which are to be saved for
breeding should be banded before they
leave the nest and careful record
kept of their breeding. SQUADS hatched

even for the prospective breeder OF
purebred stock. 1t is not only cheap
and safe way Of starting in the breed
ing business, but 1t brings out plainly
in the grades the main breed points
and proves what good blood will do
Only few generations OF grading up
will be sufficient to place before you
a picture of breed characters not seen
in years in purebred breeding on a
small scale. The only danger In the
beginner grading up herd is that the
first results are SO satisfactory that to
improve the next generation some
promising grade is apt to be selected
as a sire. which means the stopping
of any further improvement.
BY all means use purebred sire as
good and we'll bred as your financial
condition will permit.

pense. The wire netting to form the

MOST VALUABLE FARM CROPS
Trouble Experienced In Growing Clio.
yer, Alfalfa, Peas, Etc, Where
Not Grown Before.

Legume crops (clover, alfalfa, peas,
farm crops. Trouble is experienced
at times, however, in growing them
in new agricultural districts or re-
gions where legumes have not been
grown before. This difficulty ofttimes
is due to the absence of the necessary
tubercle bacteria from the soil in
question. The practice should be fol-
lowed, therefore, of inoculating the
soil or seed when any of these crops
are grown upon ground which has
never grown the crop before.
This incubation may be made by
the use of soil from field in which
the legume has grown. This soil
should be obtained from the old
legume field and distributed over the
field to be sown in legumes at the
rate of approximately 300 pounds per
acre, and at once narrowed or disked
in. This operation should take place
during the morning or evening or
upon a cloudy day, as the intense sun
light destroys the bacteria. Care
should be exercised in making this
transfer of soil to get it from fields
which are not infested with weeds.
Should such soil not be available,
DR.. Ira d. Cardiff. director and bot
anist of the Washington agricultural
experiment station. states that the
next best method of procedure is to
use a pure culture of bacteria which
may be mixed with the seed before 1t
is sown.

Berlin, June 3.-Germany's high sea
fleet met the main part of the British
fleet in battle in the northeastern
section of the North sea on May 81.
In the heavy engagement which fol-
lowed the German fleet, according to
a report issued by the German ad-
miralty, sank the British battleship
warspite, the British battle cruisers
Queen Mary and lndefatigable, two
armored cruisers and large number
of warships of smaller tonnage. Sew
eral other British battleships are re-
ported damaged, including the battle
ship Marlborough.
The German losses are announced
as the battleship Pommern, the cruz
ser Wiesbaden, the protected cruiser
Frauenlob and several torpedo boats.
An army order was issued Friday
commanding that flags be raised
throughout the city and holiday de-
clared In the schools in celebration
of the German naval victory.
Admiral Hebbinghaus, director Of
the admiralty, told the Reichstag FRI
day that the British torpedo boat
losses were greater than had first
been reported At least three of the
destroyer flotilla flagships, said Ad-
miral Hebbinghaus, and nine or ten
other destroyers had been sunk. OF
these, the battleship Westfalen alone
sank six.
The German battleship Pommern
was sunk by storpedo. the admiral
continued, and the Wiesbaden by ar
tillery. The Frauenlob was last seen
by a German destroyer in a night en-
counter, with heavy list, and the ad-
miralty said 1t was assumed she had
been sunk.
London, June 3.-Great Britain and
Germany again have met in battle at
sea, and Germany, apparently. SO far
as the details have been made known,
was the victor At the bottom of the
North sea, off the west coast of north
ern Denmark, lie at least three Brit
ish battle cruisers. three cruisers and
eight torpedo boats, and the German
battleship Pommern and two small
German cruisers and number OF
German torpedo craft.
Great Britain admits the loss OF pat
lie cruisers and cruisers with ton
mage of 114,s1O. represented by the
battle cruisers Queen Mary, Indefatig-
able and Invincible and the cruisers
Defense. Black Prince and Warrior.
Germany's losses. in addition to the
Pommern, were the Wiesbaden and
Frauenlob, both the latter small
cruisers, and several torpedo boats.
The Germans claim in addition to
the admitted losses of Great Britain
that the British warship Warspite, of
the largest type in the British navy.
was sunk, that the battleship Marl-
borough was hit by a torpedo. and
that two cruisers of a Chilles type
(the Warrior is of this class) and one
submarine were sent to the bottom.
The British admiralty adds to two
dreadnoughts of the Kaiser class,
vessels of 24.7O0 tons. destroyed, the
blowing up of one battle cruiser. the
damaging of two other vessels of this
class and the ramming and sinking
of a German submarine.
