daughter. That the Holstein-
Friesian shows no significant In
crease In milk yield or butter-fat
percentage.
These results, while Disappointing
in their answer, point very clearly to
the great need for the information on
the prepotency OF individual sifes
above noted. For with the present
knowledge 1t is by breeding from
these prepotent sires that all progress
within the breeds will be made il
progress, il made at all. The results
showing the prepotent sires for these
three breeds are available TO all in
bulletin form representing something
over 500 pages OF printed matter.
The studies have shown how milk
yield, butter.fat percentage and the
other milk constants vary with age.
And make it possible, for the first
time, to compare with close accuracy
the milk yields of cows Of the same
breed at different ages. Have shown
that the yields do not follow straight
lines as the Advanced Registry rules
prescribe but follow rather complex
mathematical curves. Have shown
the exact value of the short time test
and OF the physical conformation of
the COW as a whole and Of the in
dividuaf parts In determining milk
yield. -
Studies on the physiology Of breed
ing have shown: How the length of
CESSATION varies in cattle. That the
time of service has no collation. to the
subsequent sex of the calf. That
twins are slightly less vigorous at
birth than single births. That twins
are more frequent in old cows than
young cattle. What the free martin
is and her sex behavior.
Because of the adherence with
which most dairymen have in the past
regarded inbreeding the Station has
spent much time in pedigree studies.
These show that inbreeding as GUS
tomarily carried on in the breeds has
no detrimental effect. That kinship
or relationship between the sire and
dam have no detrimental effect. A
study of the individual animals in the
pedigree of the high and of the low
producers have shown that the ami
mails contained in these pedigrees are
group for group practically identical
Such being the case the basic practice
formulated in the saying like begets
like" is certainly not more than partly
true for cattle.
1t took the Maine Station eight
years to learn the laws Of egg in
heritance in poultry. In 1S months
several daughters of a hen or Of a
cockerel will have made egg laying
records sufficient to disclose their
capacity. 1t is at the best five years
from the time a cow is served until
one daughters production can be
known. And her first calf or her Sec
ond calf may not be heifer. In
finding out the solution to the egg in
heritance problem the Maine Station
accumulated data the analysis OF
which has revolutionized poultry
management. In like manner data
are accommodating that bid fair to
make large changes in dairy herd
management.

INVESTIGATIONS
At the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station and What
Has Thus Far Been Disc0v-
ered-The Research Covers a
Period of Years and Is Inter-
eSting Work.

eStlnS Work.
Orono, Me-, Nov. 30-The following
was issued this afternoon from the
office of Charles D. Woods. director of
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station at the University of Maine:
For a number Of years the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station has
at the request of the Maine Dairy
mems Association as voiced through
the Legislature been making investi
cations into animal husbandry with
particular reference to dairying. Dur
ing this time many hundred pages
showing the results thus far obtained
have been printed. There has also
been a number of letters in this series
on this matter.
But at the recent meeting at Port
land the question was asked what has
been thus far learned from this in
Eestigation. 1t was not easy to make
an offhand statement covering years
of study and extensive reports Of
progress. The following is an attempt
to list some of the things that have
been discovered as there may be 9TH
er people who have as value an idea
of the work and what has been found
as did the inquirer at Portland. p.
What are the results sought? AL
though they cover many lines of in
vestigation the object sought comes
down to just one thing. To determine
what system of breeding and manage
ment of dairy cattle will knowingly
produce good type offspring Of high
milk and butter-fat yield.
The answer to the main question is
still sought and it will likely still take
years of patient research for it's COM
plete solution. But the following
concrete facts are among those thus
far disclosed by this study.
The breeding experiment has
shown: How the colors, fawn, black,
red, white spotting. muzzle and
tongue color, are inherited. These
are important because even today the
price paid for properly colored ami
NAL is often much greater than for a
poorly colored animal. How horns in
cattle are inherited. That the bull
contributes equally with the COW on
which he is bred to determine the
milk production and butter-fat per-
centage of the resulting progeny. That
high milk yield is dominant to or
blankets low milk yield in dairy cat
tie. That high butter-fat percentage
is recessive to or is blanketed by low
butter-fat percentage. Thus il
progress in breeding is to be made
both parents must be Of high butter
fat percentage strains, one parent or
preferably both must be pure for high
milk yield. i4r
The careful accurate analysis Of the
raw data Of the advanced registries
have shown: Exactly what the herd
sires are doing to increase, maintain
or decrease the milk yield, butter-fat
percentage or butter-fat of their
daughters and of their sons. That
among other points for the Jersey
there had been no significant increase
in milk yield, mother to daughter, a
slightly significant decrease in butter
fat per cent, mother to daughter. That
the Guernsey breed shows a signifi-
cant increase in milk yield, mother to
daughter and no significant increase
in butter-fat percentage, mother to

Tech. Prof. Says
Hose Ignited from

Boston, Dec. $50 much public
interest has been aroused by the
phenomenon developed in, tests of fire

NO Place in China
For Either Bolshe-
ViSn or MOnarchisn

Picking. Nov. 2-(By Associated
Press)-Neither Bolshevism nor mon
archism has chance in China today,
in the opinion of DR.. Phillip Tyau, AS
sistant Under-Secretary in the Foreign
Office. unofficially expressed to The
Associated Press. DR.. Tyau. who is a
student of international law, refutes
erroneous reports and inspired state
ments of damaging nature which
have been circulated recently both in
China and abroad and which not only
mislead public opinion but have a
serious repercussion on trade" He
writes as follows:
1.-The reports which are most per-
sistent are precisely those which are
most ill-founded. One is that a mon
archial restoration has actually occur
red or is imminent: another that the
country not only offers an attractive
field for Bolshevism but that an in
sidious and far-reaching campaign of
propaganda is actually raging which
may engulf the nation.
Both reports disclose singular ig-
norance of existing conditions and Of
the whole trend of Chinese thought.
The factors which led to the abdica-
ito of the Manchu dynasty nearly a
decade ago are not only operative to-
day. but have been made a hundred
fold more powerful by natural devel-
opment and by the march Of events
throughout the world. 1t may be said
generally that the people at large are
so completely accustomed to the re-
publican idea that the conception Of 4
hereditary ruler seems to belong to u
remote past.

is probably the last country in the
world that need fear what Is the
