service of new sire and at the same
time make it possible to determine
which are the best producers SO that
those not making good can be dis
posed Of
sufficient number of the best fe-
males from the successful sires should
be retained, and in some cases male
offspring may be put into service in
the neighborhood. This will obviate
the necessity for any further exten-
sive purchases and give a constant sup
ply of good blood and uniform quality.
In addition, 1t will provide an adequate
number of animals to take the place of
those that die. are injured, or sold. The
serviceable sires crossed with the fe-
males retained will be of incalculable
value in the continued production of
animals of outstanding merit.
Lack Of Uniformity.
One of the reasons for the lack of
uniformity in the quality of our live
stock is the fact that many Of our in
dividual farmers and breeders have
not adhered to one type or breed of
sire. The results provide striking
example of the need of organization.
With the organized community many
advantages are to be gained. First of
all, greater interest will be taken in
the proper methods Of breeding, feed
ing, etc, with the result that a definite
community type will be established
and the members will work together in
maintaining that ideal. United action
is brought about in the prevention and
eradication of disease, combined ac-
ton along this line being far more of
fectiye and economical than individual
effort. The good effect of combined
action on the part of the breeders of
community in preventing the spread
of such n disease as hog cholera for
instance, can readily be appreciated.
Much can be accomplished IN sim
liar manner in stamping out conta-
gious diseases among other classes of
live stock, and by the adoption of prop
er sanitary methods further outbreaks
in the community can be avoided. A
reputation for sound, healthy stock
is a most desirable and valuable asset.

tFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
There are some sections of the cOun-
try that have become noted for the
quality of the live stock they pro-
duce. In most instances this is found
to be the result of concentrated eff
fort. The state Of Wisconsin offers a
splendid Illustration of what can be
accomplished through community
breeding associations. Here are to be
found 1876 organizations devoted to the
breeding of high-class live stock. OF
this number, 1O8 are promoting cattle
of the different dairy breeds; 2, beef
cattle; 10, horses; 2. swine; and IA,
general live stock. These associations
have met with marked success and
prove conclusively that community
livestock breeding is not an expert
ment when thoroughly organized and
properly conducted. Livingston coun-
ty, Michigan, and considerable sec
ton of New York, particularly the re-
gion adjacent to Syracuse, are famous
for their dairy cattle. In Iowa promi-
nence has been gained in swine rails
ing. The bluegrass region of Ken
lucky, noted as the center of American
saddle-horse breeding, affords a fur
ther example of the success resulting
from unity of effort and purpose.
There are still other sections where
attention is being given to the pro-
duction of the different classes of live
stock Each is noted as a breeding
center, and buyers who pay the high
est prices are attracted from other
states and even foreign countries.
Leader Is Necessary.
The organization of community or
cooperative live stock breeders asso-
citation requires the services of a lead
er. as do all movements that have for
their object the Improvement of un-
satisfactory conditions. The leader
in an enterprise of this kind should
be one of the successful breeders of
the mmunity-aggressive as well as
progressive. With such man at the
head of the movement, little trouble
should be experienced in interesting
others and securing their cooperation.
A preliminary organization should be
effected, committee appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws. and n
definite breed selected which the asso-
citation is to promote.
The selection of breed is of great
Importance. If the best results are
to be gained, individual taste should
be disregarded and II breed selected
which has proved profitable in the
community. The action taken in this
respect should be unanimous. and
every effort should then be made in
improving the type of stock to which
the organization is committed. When

An Attack Of Grip
Always Leaves Kidneys
In Weakened Condition

Doctors In all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run

which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
ary troubles which should not be neglect

TAGGING OF SHEEP
IS IMPORTANT WORK
Operation Is Simple and Consists
of Placing Animal on Side
and Removing Wool.

CBy r. H WILLIAMS. Professor of Ami
NAL Husbandry. University Of Arizona)
All good shepherds in Europe tag
their ewes. The operation is simple
and consists of placing the sheep on
its side and by means of "A hand shears
cutting away the soiled wool and ma
nure which may have accumulated
around the rear end. Anyone can per-
form this work and it is an especially
good method of keeping the sheep
clean and sanitary, and also one will
have less trouble at lambing time for
the lambs will more easily find their
way to the nipple If the tag ends have
been clipped from around the udder
Very often young lambs will get lock
of wool in their mouths instead of the
teat, and they often suck in dangerous
amounts of wool which accumulate in
the stomach, and often cause death.
1t is probable that quite large per-
centage of the mortality in very young
lambs comes from this source.
1t will pay best to tag the ewes, but
MANY shepherds also tag the wethers,
rams and lambs. One will find that
the work of shearing is so much clean
er, and can be performed more rapidly
so that there is not much additional
work. When it comes to selling the
wool, one will easily secure more mon
ey for clip that has been taken from
a well-tagged sheep, and In the future,
when wool is bought on its merits,
this is bound to be an economic ad-
