raising the standard Of farm an
imals and poultry and bringing out
certain desirable characteristics by
slective 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
knowledge of the laws of nature as
they apply to mechanics has reached
very great magnitude and completely,
1t is comparatively only few
years since the principles of breeding
nave been more than a collection of
unrelated traditional beliefs
The same supersitions on which the
shepherds of Asia based their prac-
tees at least 80 centuries ago are still
widely current, while the one sound
principle known to the ancients-se
lection of the best for breeding stock
lis still largely neglected.
The principles of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned
by practical experience in the United
States and other older countries, and
by careful scientific study along def
mite lines, are outlined in Department |
Bulletin 905, recently issued by the |
United States Department of Agricul- |
ture.
This bulletin goes INTO the first prin-
ciples Of reproduction and follows the
means by which certain characters
tics of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth
DDS of selection best suited to inten-
sify the desirable characteristics and
weed out the undesirable, the char
acteristics which can with certainty
be expected to continue from one gen
Grafton TO another, those which are
uncertain, those which will blend, and
those which cannot be inherited
Aside from mere increase in num-
bers the purposes which the breeder
is likely to have in mind fall under
two more or less distinct heads, name
ly, production Of a uniform product,
and improvement. A uniform prod
uct depends on such control over the
heredity of the stock that matings
can be made with the assurance that
the offspring will be of a certain
definite type for which there is a

closely related to >ontrol over hered-
ity. but the i~ethods which give the
greatest control are not necessarily
those which lead to the most rapid
Improvement.
In broad sense the whole subject
of practical breeding comes under the
head of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection is the per-
Torrance of the animals themselves
Unfortunately, the merit of most
kinds Of live stock cannot be meas
ured directly. The study of conforna-
ton as an index of useful qualities
has accordingly held a high place
as basis for selection of breeding
stock. Live stock judging has this
for its purpose. An animal of good
breeding Is a better one to breed than
one of equal Individual merit but of
mixed or common breeding. Pedi-
gree, though often misused, is n VAL
liable aid to selection, apart from fol-
lowing a general policy of mating.
The soundest basis of all for selec-
ton Of breeding stock is the record
OF past performance as a breeder. pro-
vided the record is sufficiently extern

Dorant tree surgeons, at other times
to the reluctance Of the owners 10
spend much money in preserving their
trees. or from their ignorance of the
benefits that may result when tree
repair work is properly done.
Reliable tree surgeons are doing
much in a practical way to educate
the public as 10 the benefits OF tree
repair work. A few states have laws
regulating tree-repair work on a COM
merclal basis.
The United States Department of
Agriculture invites correspondence
concerning methods Of tree-repair
work, and is prepared TO advise for
or against any particular method so
far as experience and the results Of
experiments permit. Farmers Bulle-
tin IT'S on tree surgery will be sent
free on application.
Tree owners are urged TO remember
that the necessity for tree-repair work
10 or 20 years hence may be reduced
materially by promptly attending to
the fresh injuries Of today.
Most persons can, at least with a
very little preliminary practice on the
simpler types Of work, undertake ordi- |
nary tree surgery provided they are
familiar with the use of gouge and |
mallet. saw and paint brush. A
steady head and ability to climb viii
be necessary for work In the top Of
the tree.
A badly diseased or injured tree
should be removed and replaced by a
healthy one unless there is some very
special reason for trying to preserve
the tree
Two axioms of tree-repair work
that should be borne In mind constant
ly are: that prompt treatment OF
freshly made wounds is the surest
and most economical method of pre-
venting disease and decay In the fu-
ture. and that all wounds made in tree
surgery should be cleaned, sterilized
and protected from infection just as
thoroughly as In animal surgery, and
Tor the same reason.
