Yet we must not pamper our hogs

is to have feeding racks in the yard

RECORD IS BEST BASIS FOR SELECTION

The modern dairy COW is bred so
far away from the wild cow of ma
ture that it is only by continual selee-
ton that the production Of our herds
can be maintained at the present level
to say nothing OF increasing it. The
only practical ways for most farmers
to greatly improve the production of
their herds, according to a Farmers
week lecture by @. II. Eckles OF the
Missouri College OF Agriculture, are
to Gull out the inferior cows and intro
duce the best possible blood through
the sire. The old saying that the sire
is half the herd is literally true from
the standpoint OF herd Improvement
The sire selected should first of all be
a pUrebred of the breed to which the
cows belong. Crossbreeding does not
pay and in the end is disastrous to the
herd.
The age of the bull SO far as known
has nothing to do with the character
istics he transmits. The advantage
Of the mature bull is that generally it
is possible to see some of his daugh-

POULTRY

RoUP REMEDY FOR CHICKENS
Good Plan to See That Curtains or
Windows Are Down and Every
thing in Proper Shape

The habit Of visiting the poultry
house after the birds have gone 70
rOOst during the winter months is a
good one. After the water vessels
have been emptied to keep them from
freezing overnight, it is a good plan
to see that the curtains or windows
are down and everything is in shape.
If the grain feed for the following
morning is scattered in the litter the
birds will be busy and active as soon
as they come on the roosts. This is
far better for them than standing
round an hour or so in the cold morn
ing air waiting for their feed.
Before leaving the house listen care
fully for wheeling or heavy breath
ing. This is the first indication OF
colds, rOup, and similar diseases, and
if detected in time a serious outbreak
may be prevented.

CAUSE OF TURKEY FAILURES
Among Other Reasons Assigned Is
That of Improper Feeding-cIose
Confinement Hurts.

Improper feeding, combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
Of many failures In turkey raising.
Given free range on the average farm,
the poults can easily pick up their own
living, and one light feed a day for
the purpose of inducing them to come
in at night is sufficient. If the mother
hen is confined to a coop and the
pOults allowed to run in and out, three
times a day is often enough to feed
and very little should be given at a
time The pOult5 should always be
ready to eat; if given all they will
clean up several times a day, iudiges-
ton will be the result. If there is
little or no feed outside the coop for
the poults to pick up, then they should
be fed about five times a day, feeding

BROOD MARE SHOULD

High Price of Grain Tends to
Make Some Owners Stingy
With Winter Feeding.

Proper food for the brood mare in
winter is not given due consideration
in seasons of high-priced grain, in the
opinion of DR.. G. w. McCampbell, as
sOciate professor of animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
Gan increased number of complaints
regarding mares which have lost their
colts are always noted in years of high
priced feeds" said Doctor McCamp-
bell ''ThiS condition is due primarily
to two reasons. The mare owner, be-
ing DESTROYS of carrying his mares

KEEPING BULL IN CONDITION
As General Rule Animals Are Alto
gether Too Thin in Flesh to Do
Justice to Themselves.

Many a breeder Of improved stock
has fallen just a little short a success
through a wrong notion Of what con-
stitutes breeding condition When We
visit a breeder for the purpose of buy
ing a young bull, and he remarks on
the way to the barn: 81 don't pamper
my young cattle; 1 keep them in just
good breeding condition" we find as a
rule that his bulls are altogether too
thin in flesh to do justice to themselves
or to him.
He is a rare man who can form an
accurate judgment of a young bull
when he is thin. The average buyer
wants to see young stuff in good,
smooth flesh. This does not mean
over-fat; but there are very few young
bulls which have been injured by car
rying too much flesh during the first
year Of their life. 1t takes feed, and
plenty of it, to present a young bull in
attractive sale condition; but it pays
even in these days OF high-priced feed !;
and the sensible buyer will demand it,
first, because it indicates that the bull
is a good feeder, and, second, because
it gives him fair opportunity to judge
of its quality. Improved stock is fetch
ing good prices, and those who are
preparing young stuff for sale can well
afford to feed literally. In fact, they
can much better afford to do this than
not. It is all well enough to carry
through the breeding cows in just
good, strong breeding condition, but
with young stuff a liberal hand has it's
reward--WaIlace' Farmer.

TREATMENT FOR CHILLED PIG
Young Animals May Be Quickly Re.
ViVed by lmmersing in Water of
About Blood Heat.

Pigs that have been chilled may be
quickly revived by immersing them to
the mouth in warm water (not hot, but
about blood heat). This is much to be
preferred to warming them by a fire
because the heat is applied so much
more uniformly and quickly. The sup
position that such pigs never amount
to anything is altogether incorrect. for
they generally will live and thrive.
Failure to get results has usually been
due to the pigs having been actually
