MUCH GRAIN WASTED

1t has been estimated by the
government that approximately
40, 600. 900 bushels of wheat are
lost every year in the United
States through wastage by the
threshing crews. This is the
reason that government inspec-
tors are visiting the threshing
machines in Gillian county and
all other grain growing counties
in the state. Such waste must
be stopped and the thresher men
are enthusiastically cooperating
with the government to save this
great amount Of grain.

There is abundant testimony ia

There is abundant testimony to
show that a grade or mongrel sire
will "back ?fire" and the offspring
prove a degraded or nondescript ami
NAL. On the other hand, evidence is
not lacking that the offspring result
ing from the service of the sound
purebred sire will not only be a valu-
able addition to any stud herd, or flock
and a credit to the judgment and in
t~elligence of the breeder but will
bring a higher price on the market.
Many concrete instances can be
given illustrating the benefits and
profits resulting from the use of pure
bred sires. Two or three cases from
widely separated districts will show
the greater advantages resulting from
wise and careful selection.
Bred Scrub Mares to Purebred
Stations.
There is a case of a man out west
who began farming with a small num-
Der of scrub mares which, he always
bred to purebred stations. The mares
averaged about 1900 pounds, and at
prices prevailing today would barely
bring 1925 apiece. Some of the first
colts sold at maturity at prices as high
as SITS, while fillies that were re-
tanned and in turn later bred to pure
bred draft stations produced male
and female colts, none of which sold
for less than $3.50. Three mares sold
at 1926 each, and $3.50 was offered
for one team. When it is remember
ed that this man started with scrub
mares, it readily can be seen what
the next crop of colts from purebred
stations will bring. In other words,
this man is grading up by using good
sires. His profits would have been still
larger had he started with grade
mares instead of scrubs. The results,
however, show the value of the pure
bred male and his influence for i'm
proved live stock.
Profits From Purebred Mares.
Another instance is that of an Ohio
farmer who several years ago pur-
chased a purebred mare of one of the
popular draft breeds, which has, in II
years, produced 10 colts, 9 which have
been raised. These colts increased
this mans bank account to the ex-
tent of S4,93O. The highest price re-
ceived was $3.50 for a 4-year-old mare,
and the lowest 1926 for an 11-month-
old colt. Included in the total given
are $500 which this man estimates
as the value of a weaving filly which
he is keeping.
In a northern state a good pure
bred stallion and a grade were stand
ing in the same community, the own
err of the purebred charging a fee Of
SIS, while the grade stallion stood
at a fee of $40. A wise farmer bred
his mares to the higher priced pure
bred, while a neighbor, feeling that
the cheapest was the best, patronized
the grade. This is what happened:
Two fillies sired by the p~urebred
stallion could have sold at $3.50, but
the owner would not let them go at
that price, claiming they were worth
more. The other farmer sold two
mares by the grade stallion for 5000,
One striking thing about this in
stance is that the mares owned by
both of these farmers were of prac-
tically the same type and breeding
