"BULsHEvIKS' OF LIVE STOCK
New Title Applied by Wisconsin Farm
err to the Reactionaries of
Bovine Society.


From farmer in Wisconsin comes
!. new word for use in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now
being carried on by the United States
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with state and local agencies. He
applies new title to the reactionaries
of bovine society, and cites the in
dubitable fact that scrub bulls are the
enemies of good production; that they
levy upon the milk, cream and butter
checks and compel the farmer to keep
cows, where the cows should keep the
farmer.
With these charges in mind and
with his eyes on the international
situation, this farmer suggests that
the scrub bulls be known hereafter as
the buisheviks. s

ANIMALS
SOUND QUALITIES OF HORSE
First Consideration Of Buyer and
Breeder Should Be Soundness-Ex-
anime Thoroughly.

The SoundneSs of horse is one OF
the first considerations OF the buyer
and should be of the breeder, accord
ing to the United States department OF
agriculture. If the animal is not suffi-
GENTLY sound to withstand the use for
which he Is intended, the logical time
to learn of this is before the purchase.
Selection must be based primarily
on thorough, systematic examina-
ton; the examination should be based
on clear knowledge Of desirable and
undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound-
ness, but also the condition or serious
ness of the unsoundness should be
noted.
Temporary unfitness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound-
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove disappointment.
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty con-
formation, unsoundness and general
characteristics.
Common blemishes are scars from
old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe
boils, and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking, weav-
ing, and biting.
Common faults ef conformation are
straight shoulders, crooked, weak, or
Improperly set legs, eve neck, long
weak back, and dropping Group.
Common unsoundnesses are splints,

Poor Appearance of Some of Get of
