Tom Jones and John Brown live on
adjoining farms. Each of them owns
a scrub cow. The county agent gave
them a United States department of
agriculture bulletin ON grading up by
the use of better sires, and they have
decided to try it.
Joe Smith. who lives a mile down
the road, owns a three-quarters grade
Shorthorn bull. The nearest pure
bred Shorthorn bull is q herd header
at the Glendale farm, seven miles
away. Now. there isn't a great deal
OF difference-on the outside-between
a three-quarters blood and a pure
bred. Tom Jones, being busy, pat
ronizes Joe Smiths th~ree-quarters
Shorthorn bull. John Brown, remem-
bering a copy-book maxim that what
ever is worth doing is worth doing
well, takes the trouble and the time to
%patronize the pure-bred bull at the
Glendale farm.
Short Cut to Good Blood.
There would not seem to be very
much difference in the offspring. But,
n actual fact, John Brown accom-
plfshes in two crosses a result that is a
little better than Tom Jones gets in
five crosses. In about four years John
Brown has an animal of q fraction
higher grade than Tom Jones can get
in about Is years. -.
There may be no way to show It
automatically. but every reasonable
man knows that the difference between
four years and 10 years is greater
than the difference between a mile and
seven miles.
Or, put it in somewhat different
form. Say that both Tom Jones and
John Brown own Il number Of scrub
COWS and desire to buy bulls. Jones,
being penny-wise, buys a three-quar.
terz Shorthorn for $3.50. Brown pays
$500 r0r a %pure-bred Shorthorn. Most
men will agree that the difference be.
tween 4 years and Is years is greater
than the difference between $3.50 and
$500.
The thing needs a little diagramming
to make the differences stand out
Here is what John Brown did by breed
ing his scrub COW to the purebred bull

OF BETTER FENCES
Novel "Drive" lnaugurated for I'm.
provement Of Farms, Both In
Value and Appearance.

ment of Agriculture.)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With a view to effecting a practical
improvement in the value and the APP
pearance OF the farms, a five-day
'buy-a-fence" campaign was recently
conducted throughout the rural dis
tricts of Mississippi. This novel
"drive" was Joined in by local repre-
sentatives of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the state
agricultural college. and other or
CARNATIONS and agencies. Elaborate
plans for promoting the campaign
were worked out in advance, includ-
ing the organization in each county Of
committees whose duty it was to
spread the gospel Of better fences.
The big saving to forage crops result
ing from better fences was pointed
out, likewise the labor saved in car
ing for live stock to prevent overfeed-
ing. An appeal was also made for
fields and homesteads that appear
we'll cared for.
Good as were the immediate results
Of the campaign, it is believed that
the permanent benefits will be equally
large, in that it concentrated attention
on the fence question and is expected
to promote greater interest in this i'm.
portant feature Of farm improve
ments.

PuREBRED BULLS VS.. SCRUBS
Early Rewards Clearly Indicated to
Stock Raiser From Using
Purebred Sires.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A few calculations in fractions indi-
ct.te clearly the early rewards to the
stock raiser from breeding with pure
bred sires instead of grade sires. The
bureau Of animal industry, which is
sponsoring the nationwide "better
sires, better stock" campaign, calls at
tention to a series Of diagrams issued
In Wisconsin which show the prog
ress Of breeding native cows for five
generations with purebred bulls, COM
pared with five generations of breed
ing with grade three-fourths full
blood bulls.
After five or. in fact, any number
Of generations of such breeding, the
calves are still less than three-quar-
tiers full blood, while if only purebred
bulls are used, three-quarter bloods
are produced in the second generation,
and the calves of the fifth generation
are thirty-one t~hirty-seconds full
blood. The characteristics of the
breed rapidly become fixed in a stock
in which only %purebred sires are used,
while after any number Of generations
of breeding to three-quarter-blood
sires the characteristics Of scrub stock
still frequently appear. A three-quar-
ter-blood bull is much more likely to
transmit unfortunate characteristics
which are not visible in himself than

Progress In Re Generations Using
Grode Bulls and Native Cows

John Browns calf was half Short
horn and half scrub.
Here is what Tom Jones did by
breeding his scrub COW to the three
quarters bull:
y plus O equals q; divided by 2,
equals 70.
Tom jones' calf was three-eighths
Shorthorn and five-eighths scrub. Not
much difference in the first generation
but wait. Using those heifer calves
as breeding stock and mating them
with the same kind of bulls, here is
what happens:
John Brown gets 1 plus X which
equals IL divided by 2, equals y.
Tom Jones gets y plus Is. equals
9/S; divided by 2 equals 9/16. ,
John Browns calf In the second
generation Outgrades Tom Jones' calf
in the second generation by % Short
horn blood.
1t Pays to Start Right.
And Tom Jones has to breed three
other generations OF cattle (using the
same kind of sire) to bring his cattle
up to approximately the same grade
as John Browns second generation of
offspring. In the meantime. using the
same kind of bull, John Brown has
graded his cattle up till the offspring
of the original scrub COWS contain
1892 Shorthorn blood and only 1882
scrub blood. Tom Jones' cattle. in
the same generation. contain 93/12S
Shorthorn blood and 35/12S scrub
blood. Jones' herd. after Is years Of
work, still retains 35 times as much
scrub blood as John Browns cattle
all because. IS years ago, John Brown
took the time and the trouble to travel
seven miles instead of a mile, or
saw his way clear to spend $500 in
stead of $50. The cost of bulls varies
greatly, of course, according to quality
OF breeding. age. and other factors.
The moral of the story, rs the breed
ing experts of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture tell it, is to use
pure-bred sires for herd Improvement.
Replace the scrub sires and the grade
sires with good pure-breds. Join the
"Better-Sires Better-Stock" campaign.
And consult your county agent, your
agricultural college or the. United
States department of agriculture from
time to time for whatever information
| you may. need.

PROMISED TONIGHT
Girard-xavier Clash in American
League Holds Spotlight,
as May Affect Lead
EASTERN M0GULS MEET

Traymore Hail. Franklin street and
Columbia avenue, the home of the
American League. promises to witness
some lively basketball and enthusiastic
roofing tonight, for three of the clubs
in the league are in a tie for second
place with three wins and one defeat
and, according TO the schedule, all three
are down to play.
On paper the Girard- Xavier clash
should be win for Bill Devery's pro-
teges, and as they have been exhibiting
as much class as any team in the league
a predicted win will not be far amiss.
But, in the other game, the one be-
tween s. P. H. A. and Dobson, is
where the element of doubt prevails.
Both teams are in the best of condi
ton and as they both play fast game,
an unusually interesting contest is
looked for. Whichever way the score
goes, one more team is certain to crawl
up on even terms with Hancock tor
first place and perhaps two.
Eastern moguls so into executive ses-
sion this evening and many matters are
down on the schedule, according to re-
ports, for discussion prior to the lifting
of the lid on the second half, which
occurs next week.

ZAHN COACHES VISITORS

George Zahn will chaperon his Dart
mouth University basketball team to
Swarthmorc late this afternoon for n
game there with the college five of that
place. Mr.. Zahn. who is Phiadel
phian, is making his first visit here as
coach of Dartmouth. He has mighty
hard proposition on his hands this year,
as basketball talent at the Big Green
institute has been inexperienced.
Last night Dartmouth played Tenn
pie University and ran second to the
local five by score of "a to 90. Cap
tain Gillam's foul tossing and the ex-
cellent field goal shooting of Gross gave
Temple a hard fought victory.
This was the third consecutive de-
feat the big green team has suffered on
its present tour.
The Dartmouth team scored first
blood when Kopf. brother of Bill
Kopf. of the Cincinnati Reds. tossed a
goal from the fifteen foot mark. The
big green team could not hold the lead
long. as Gillian tossed four foul goals
in row and from then on the Tenn
pie team was never headed.
The Dartmouth team was away 'off
form in its passing and time and again
the Temple men would take the ball
away from them.

WANTS TO REMAIN

Cincinnati, o., Jan. S.-August
Hermann, chairman of the National
Baseball Commission, recommended that
no chairman to succeed him should be
