INBREEDING TESTS
WITH GUINEA PIGS
Valuable Facts Collected by b.
reau of Animal Industry.
Certain Disadvantages, Formerly Diff.
ficuIt to Explain, Sometimes APP
peared i'm Experiments Con-
Quoted at Beitsville.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Breeding facts valuable to live stock
raisers are being collected by the bu-
reau Aof animal industry through ex-
periments on its farm at Beltsville,
Nd. Experiments on the effects of in
breeding in guinea pigs, begun in 1906,
already have been carried to the
eighteenth generation wholly by mat
ing brother and sister. Inbreeding is
a practice frequently used by live stock
raisers in their efforts to fix and rem
der prepotent desirable family traits.
With the practical results hoped for,
however. certain disadvantages. for
merly difficult to explain, sometimes
appeared.
Present progress of the government
inbreeding investigations with guinea
pigs has developed the following points
of interest:
The mere fact that the closest in
breeding can be carried TO the eight
zenith generation without any very
obvious degeneration is noteworthy.
There has been. however, some de-
cline in vitality, size, and, especially.
fertility.
The young produced by crossing diff
ferent inbred families show distinct
Improvement in all respects.
The inbreeding has brought to light
and automatically fixed I'm % inbred
families pronounced differences in fer
tility, size, vitality, color and pattern.
There is Independent heredity of
these traits, with no correlation be
tween the vigor of family in one re
Spect and it's vigor in others.
The chief effect of inbreeding. as in
Dictated by the experiments, is the
fiXation of hereditary factors. The de
cline in vigor on inbreediug and the
Improvement on crossing appear to be
merely very likely, but inevitable, con
sequences. If breeders use great care
in the selection of breeding stock, there
appears to be no cause which prevents
a satisfactory degree of vigor from
being combined with the uniformity
and prepOtency which can only be OBJ
tanned through close breeding.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF ICE
Appreciated More in Country Home
Than in City-indispensable for
Dairy Products.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
An ample supply of ice is of greater
economic Importance in the country
home than in the city home. City
people can purchase perishable sup
plies as needed, but the remoteneSs Of
country homes from markets often
renders 1t necessary to use canned,
cOrned or smoked meat products dur
ing the season of the year when the
table should be supplied with fresh
meats. Not only is ice appreciated be-
cause of its use i'm the preservation
Of fresh meat, butter. and other table
supplies, but the production of high
grade domestic dairy products is NJ
most impossible without it. Many
markets TO which milk is now shipped
demand that 1t be cooled before ship

100000 club members. Many farm
boys under the age of eighteen are
being instructed by club agents and
county agents in doing a mans work
on the farm. The emergency enroll
ment is an effort to get hold of all
boys who are taking on the added bur
dens of the war time and to give them
credit for their extraordinary efforts.
The average yield of corn raised by
the members of the boys clubs
throughout the - southern states was
4797 bushels per acre. There were 10
boys who made more than 100 bushels
per acre, and some good records were
made by boys in other farm crops.
Results of Pig Clubs.
Pig clubs conducted in cooperation
with the bureau of animal industry
of the United States department of ag-
riculture are popular. Thousands of
purebred pigs have been distributed
among the boys with excellent results.
Purebred hogs are becoming well dis
tributed throughout every part of the
South.
Short, practical courses in agricul-
ture for club boys are held in each
county, where all the club members
attend and receive instruction. In adj
dition to the short courses held in the
counties one is also held at the agri-
cultural college where the prize win
ners are brought for n week or two
weeks instruction. The boys clubs
are stimulating farm boys TO enter the
agricultural colleges to continue their
agricultural training. In one state in
