BIG DECREASE IN STATE
LIVESTOCK

The Montana Livestock Sanitary
board viii make eight recommended
tons to the legislature, according to
the biennial report of the board. The
report includes the biennial reports
Of DR.. w. j. Butler, state veterinary
surgeon, and of the chemist, bacte-
biologist and pathologist of the board
and orders of the sanitary board in
the last two years. 1t shows that dur
ing the last two years deputy state
veterinary surgeons inspected and ex-
amined 2,415,222 head of livestock
and travelled 364,274 miles.
The legislative recommendations
Of the livestock sanitary board, sub
mitted to the legislature, are:
Standardization of milk &C
cording to its bacterial count and
establishment Of city, county or state
Capitalization plants where milk shall
be examined by an official bacteriolo-
gist and shall be pasteurized if it
does not pass the test satisfactorily.
2. A statute requiring pasteuriz-
ing of all skinned milk or separa-
tor slop from receiving. stations.
8. A statute requiring cleaning
and disinfecting of stock cars.
a. A statute requiring the pro-
per disposal of all dead animals.
g. A statute providing more uni
form methods for Inspecting and tu-
berculin testing dairy herds.
g. Legislation governing import
ations of sheep, which will not be
held to interfere with interstate COM
merce, but which will continue to
safe guard theep interests of Mon
tana.
7. A statute prohibiting running
at large scrub stations over two
years old.
8. A statute designating the qua,
lity of hay which may be shipped in
to Montana.

mating. The soundest basis of all
for selection of breeding stock is the
record of past performance as breed
er, provided the record is sufficiently
extensive to give fair test.
The bulletin gives many valuable
pointers on the selection of cattle for
milk and butterfat production and for
beef; the breeding of sheep for wool
and mutton; of hogs for pork; and of
poultry for eggs and meat.
1t falls in line with the Better
Sires-Better Stock" movement of the
Department of Agriculture, by which
farmers are being encouraged to build
up their flocks and herds rapidly
through the selection of purebred
sires. The new bulletin, which con-
tains 81 pages and numerous charts
and illustrations, is entitled, "Princi-
pies of Live Stock Breeding" 1t may

RAISING STANDARD OF FARM
STOCK BY SELECTIVE BREEDING

STOCK BY SELECTIVE BREEDING
Raising the standard of farm ami
mails and poultry and bringing out
certain desirable characteristics by
selective breeding is receiving more:
attention as methods of farming for
profit become intensified.
The breeding of domestic animals
dates back to remote antiquity, when
the most advanced races of the Old
World were still on the border line
between savagery and barbarism. 1t
far antedates any but the simplest
mechanical arts. Yet while our knowl-
. edge of the laws of nature as they ap-
ply to machines has reached very /
great magnitude and complexity, 1t is
comparatively only few years since
the principles of breeding have been
more than a collection of unrelated
traditional beliefs.
Interpretations Still Current.
The same superstitions on which the
sbeDherds of Asia based their prac-
tees at least 80 centuries ago are still
widely current, while the one sound
principle known to the ancients-sei-
ection of the best for breeding stock
lis still widely neglected.
The principles Of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned
by practical experience in the United
States and older countries, and by
careful scientific study along difmite
lines, are outlined in Department
Bulletin 9O5, recently issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
This bulletin goes into the first
principles of reproduction and follows
the means by which certain character
istics Of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the
methods of selection best suited to
intensity the desirable characteristics
and weed out the undesirable, the
characteristics which can with GER
family be expected to continue from
one generation to another, those which
are uncertain, those which will BLEND
and those which can not be inherited
Aside from mere increase in mum
bers the purposes which the breeder i
likely to have in mind fall under TIVE
more or less distinct heads, namely
production Of a uniform product, an'
Improvement. A uniform product de
ponds on such control over the here
dity of the stock that matings ca
be made with the assurance that tn
offspring will be of q certain definit
type for which there is demand. I'm
provement is, Of course, closely relat
cd to controle over heredity, but To
methods which give the greatest cor
troll are not necessarily those whic
lead to the most rapid improvement
A Basis fer Selection.
In a broad sense the whole subjeC
Of practical breeding comes undC
the head of selection. The most oil
vious basis for such selection is tt
performance Of the animals then
selves Unfortunately, the merits
most kinds of livestock cannot /
measured directly. The study Of col
formation as an index of usef
qualities has accordingly held hie
place as a basis for selection f
breeding stock Livestock judgir
has this for its purpose. An anim
OF good breeding is a better one
breed than one of equal individu
merit but of mixed or common bree
ing. Pedigree, though often misuse

several, they, with their dams, should

spread of the disease. The affected
