SCRUB STOCK is EXPENSIVE
Demand for Purebred Animals Un-
preeedented-sire 10 Somstimes
More Than Half of Herd.

The unprecedented demand for pure
bred live stock will sooner or later re-
suit in the marketing Of many animals
eligible to registry, which are inferior
as individuals and which may prove
poor breeders. 8. T. Simpson of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture re-
minds buyers that the present high
values afford all the better reason for
Investing in only. good breeding ami
mails even though they appear high in
price. In this way only can the pres
ent high standard be maintained and
the scrub purebred finally eliminated.
The use of the registered scrub can
but discourage the cause of purebred
sires and better live stock. The breed
er who markets such individuals will
ultimately suffer the criticism of those
who know good live stock, and finally
be Disseminated against in buying and
selling. The purchaser of the scrub
purebred can breed nothing but infe-
rior individuals SO long as he per-
sists in buying the pedigree with no
regard for individual merit.
The purebred sire is the best means
of live stock improvement. Whether
good or bad he is half the herd and
sometimes more. For this reason
the; selection of the sire demands
equally as much attention as the en-
tire group of females, and it is far
more important to have q good sire.
both in individuality md breeding,
than to have one or two good females.
If sacrifices must be made, let them
occur in the selection of the females.
Better still, let every one be good
one, both in breeding and individual
excellence.

COLT INFECTED WITH WORMS
Animals Generally Have Good Appe-
tite, but Apparently Benefit Little
From Food Ration.

Many horses lose condition, or fail
to make gains during winter months
because they are infected with worms.
This Is especially true Of colts. Horses
suffering from worms generally have a
good appetite, but apparently benefit
little from the food eaten.
There may emo symptoms which
point conclusively to worms. but this
trouble is soscommon that If the colts
and horses are not doing as well us
they should for, the feed given.
worm remedy may prove Of decided
value. In treating horses for worms,
DIR. L. 8. Backus of the University of
Missouri College Of Agriculture sug-
gests it is well to keep in. mind that
the drug Is meant for the worm rath-'
er than the horse, and should therefore
be given in as concentrated form as
possible. To insure this, little or no
bulky food should be fed during the
course of treatment, and as the para
sites are stupefied by worm remedies
rather than killed, the animals bowels
should be kept in an active condition
SO that the stupefied worms may be
passed out before they regain their vi
tality. A well salted bran mash once
a day will generally insure such an
action.
The following formula is worm
remedy which is also of value as a

FERTILIZER FOR TRUCK
Three Types Used In Cultivation
Of Potato Crop.
Soy Beans, cowpeas and Velvet Beans
Are Chiefly Used by Truckers Along
Atlantic seaboard for
|. Green Manuring.
CBy L c. CORRECTLY

(By L C. CCRBETT)
Preliminary results of investigations
now in progress to determine the kind
and quality of fertilizer best adapted
to truck crops indicate that on the
soils of the Long Island and Norfolk
areas the source Of potash for potato
fertilizer should be sulphate of potash,
and that the use of large quantities of
nitrate in the form of nitrate Of soda
is not economical. The treatments
which show greatest promise in both
areas as result of two years trial
are heavy applications Of cottonseed
meal, tankage, and sulphate Of potash.
Three types of fertilizers are used
in the cultivation of potatoes, namely.
commercial fertilizers, green manures,
and farmyard 'manures. Commercial
fertilizers are extensively used in the
production of trucL-crop potatoes,
particularly on the Atlantic seaboard.
II they are supplemented at all it is
by growing a crop Of green manure
