 Madame Borgny Hammer is the only actress of the younger genera ton whose acting has been compared favorably with that of Madame Laura Gundersen, the greatest actress Nor way has ever produced After seeing Madame Hammer in play at the National Theater, Bjorne Bjornson, the noted Norwegian playright, said to her: You have real genius!

half Of the bulls that have been admit
ted to advanced registry have improved
their get as compared with theg dams.
AS pointed out in an earlier letter in
this series this fact emphasizes
with startling clearness the need OF
exact knowledge of the TRANSMITTING
qualities OF bulls to be bred as sires
and of the necessity of exact
knowledge of the inheritance of milk
and butter-fat production. The sire
whose performance test is known is
good only as long as he lives and with
his death ends the value of his test.
This would not be so if the way in
which milk and butter-fat production
are transmitted were known. For by
the application OF these rules once
they are discovered, it would be Dos
sible to produce from that sire sons or
daughters whose progeny performance
would be known from conception. To
discover these laws Of milk and but
ter-fat inheritance is the object of the
carefully controlled matings of high
and low milking animals by the Maine

bred herd at its Highmoor Farm

The IMPROVEMENT
OF PLANTS AND AM
MAILS BY SELECTION
Tho Selection Must Be Based On the
Ability to Transmit-Extensive In
vestigations and Their Results at
Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station

Orono, Me, Oct. 1.-THE following was
made public this afternoon from the
Office of Charles ID. Woods, director of
the Maine Agricultural experiment sta
ton at the University of Maine:
In a recent letter in this series it was
shown that both in the case of grain
and poultry that selection by perform
ance alone did not make any improve
ment in the stock. AS a matter of fact
i'll Doth cases the failure Of the old
methods of selection to obtain results
led to the adoption of a new method
essentially alike in the two cases. diff
fcring only as to details conditioned, by
different modes of reproduction in
plants and animals. This new method
has proved itself in the hands of plant
breeders all over the world. but led by
the Swedish Investigators and farmers,
TO be brilliantly successful. 1t has re-
suited in putting cereal breeding on q
sure and definite basis. 1t has been
tried thoroughly by the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in breeding
poultry for increased egg production
with very striking and sure results.
Now, just what is this new method OF
breeding? 1t can. be best explained by
contrasting it with the old method. In
the old method of breeding emphasis
was laid on. performance as the basis

have them. is made the basis of breed
ing work according to the new method
AS matter of fact. actual experiments
with hens show that the high performer
in the great majority of cases does
not produce chickens which are them
selves high performers. The high per-
formers usually are the offspring of
BIRDS which were not themselves such
extraordinary producers. But it is n
plain, common-sense proposition that
the most valuable animal as breeder
is the one that gets progeny that are
high grade performers. If one can find
hen whose daughters invariably lay
more than 10 eggs apiece in year it
is OF no particular consequence wheth-
er that hen herself lays 100 or 200 eggs
in the year. The case is the same with
cows. There have been many Jersey
cows that were greater milk producers
than was Figgis or Marina Pogis, but
how many Of them have produced a
son that has nine or fifteen daughters
in the advance registry?
No instance illustrates better the
distinction between the two methods Of

TALLY on the basis Of her own perform
ance alone. In other words. this Is the
old principle Of selection. in so far as
advanced registry relates to breeding.
On the other hand, bull is eligible to
advanced registry If certain number
Of his daughters have made records
which entitle them to entry in the ad-
vanced registry. This is essentially the
new method OF selection. If a moment $
consideration is given to the subject it
will be plain that that which admits a
COW to the advanced registry has no
necessary relation whatever to her
breeding worth. Advanced registry of
cow tells nothing as to whether her
heifer calves either are or are likely
to be good producers. But the case is
quite different with the bull The bull
in advanced registry is there because
he has proven his ability to transmit
high dairy qualities. But less than one

of breeding. To make it concrete, it
was assumed in this method that
'2Oo-egg" hen was better to breed from
than a 'lO-egg" hen because she had
laid larger number of eggs in CIV
Ell time. Her performance alone was
made the basis of the estimation of her
worth as a breeder. The new method
Of breeding starts out from the stand
point that performance is only one of
many factors that make an animal or
plant valuable as a breeder In other
words. it says that a "200-egg'' hen
is of no value as breeder unless her
daughters are high layers. The ability
