the most advanced races Of the Old
World were on the border line between
savagery and barbarism. 1t far ante
dates any but the simplest mechanical
arts. Yet, while our knowledge Of the
laws of nature as they apply to ma
chimes has reached great magnitude
and complexity, 1t has been compara-
lively few years since the principles
of breeding have been more than col
lection Of unrelated traditional beliefs.
The same superstitions on which the
shepherds of Asia based their practices
at least 30 centuries ago are still wide
ly current, while the one sound princi-
pie known to the ancients-selection of
the best for breeding stock-is still
much neglected.
The principles of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned by
practical experience in the United
States and older countries, and by care
full scientific study along definite lines,
are outlined in Bulletin 905, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
This bulletin goes into the first prin-
ciples of reproduction and follows with
the means by which certain character
istics of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth
DDS of selection best suited to intensity
the desirable characteristics and weed
out the undesirable, the characteris-
tics which can with certainty be ex-
pected to continue from one generation
to another, those which are uncertain
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, namely,
production of uniform product, and
Improvement A uniform product de-
pends 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 demand. Improvement
Is, of course, closely related to control
over heredity, but the methods which
give the greatest control are not neces-
sarily 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 perform
ance Of the animals themselves. I'm
fortunately, the merits of most kinds
Of live stock cannot be measured direct
ly. The study of conformation as an
index of useful qualities has according
ly held high place as basis for Sc
lection of breeding stock. Live stock
judging has this for its purpose. An
animal Of good breeding is better one
to breed than one Of equal individual
merit but Of mixed or common breed.
ing. Pedigree, though often misused,
is a valuable aid to selection, apart
from following general policy of mat
ing. The soundest basis Of all for Sc
lection Of breeding stock is the record
of past performance as breeder. pro-
vided the record is sufficiently extern
sive to give fair test.

MANY cows NOT PROFITABLE
Ten Million "Boarders" In United
States Whose Yield is Less
Than Cost Of Feed.

Not over a third Of the so-called
dairy cows of the United States are
profitable to their owners. Ten mil
lion "boarder" cows are MIXED whose
yield Is worth less than their feed.
Their owners seem to keep them for
the sole purpose of milking them four

them, and otherwise enjoying their

FRENCH BREAK
WITH GERMANY
RELATIONS BECOME VERY
ACUTE FOLLOWING RECALL
OF FRANCES MISSION IN
LEIPZIG.

Paris, July 11.-Franco-Ge erman
relations suddenly became very acute
again following the abrupt recall of
the French mission attending the
trials of German war criminals in
Leipzig coupled with cabled instruc-
tions to the French minister in Ber-
lin the text of which was withheld
from the French press. The mission
was recalled because the French be-
lieve too much leniency is being
shown the war offenders by the
Leipzig court.
There is general talk of applying g
new sanctions (penalties) to Ger
many on the ground that the treaty
stipulations are being violated.
While Premier BRAND is believed
to favor the British policy of wait
and see," hotter heads in the French
cabinet backed up by the powerful
Poincaire and militarist party are de-
manding that stern reprisals be TAX
en- first for the shooting of a French
officer in upper Silesia, and second,
for the mobbing of French witness
es in Leipzig.
Last evenings newspaper call the
Leipzig trials "the veriest farce" and
indicate that new sanctions will be
demanded from parliament, includ-
ing the permanent occupation of Dus-
seldorf and other towns which the
British are determined to evacuate
at the earliest date, considering that
the Germans have lived up to the
letter of their contract.
While the British government is
believed to be bringing all its influ-
enee to bear on Premier BRAND to
prevent a new flare up in Europe
the consequences of which might be
lamentable, especially as regards
economic adjustments vital to the re-
constitution of international credit

day in the French senate and cham

Arrest Man And
Bride For Car Theft

Iroqhois, July 11.-William Terry
and wife, of Lebanon, Ore, are un-
der arrest in Kingsbury county on
the charge of having stolen an auto
mobile in Oregon. 1t is stated they
drove the stolen car through to South
Dakota, and that IL has been located
near Iroquois The prisoners are be-
ing held for an officer from oregon,
who will take them back to that state
for trial.
Terry is a son of Mrs. K. T.. Rog-
ers, of Iriquois, and was married a
few months ago to a young woman
at Brookings, S. ID. Soon after their
marriage they took up their resi-
dence in Oregon. The day before
the car disappeared in Oregon they
received a money order from Brook
ings and also shipped a package to
Brookings, and 1t was through this
that a clue was obtained as to their
destination.
Terry denies stealing the car and
states the arrest of himself and
bride is mistake.

LIST OF IDLE IN
CHICAGO GROWING
THREE APPLICANTS FOR EVERY
OPEN JOB

Chicago, July 11.-For every job
open in Chicago there are three ap-
plicants. In some lines of work the
proportion is greater, but this is the
average announced by the general ad-
visory board of the Illinois free en-
ployment service, which maintains
thirteen offices lin eleven cities of
the state.
The federal government has step
ped in TO do what it can TO relieve
the depressing situation. 1t has di-
vided the country into nine districts
and opened employment offices in
each district. The one of which Chi
cago is the center covering Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin.
Chicago leads with the number of
unemployed men, proportionally to
population for the state. Some of the
smaller cities show considerable i'm
provement over the figures for May
and part of June. All industrial cen
ters show an increase in unememploy-
ed. In Chicago the situation will be
immensely helped with resumption of
building operations. With contract
ors ready TO expand millions of dol
lars there should be ample work for
all in this city for from three to five
years, counting only the building
projects now in sight and for which
plans have been drawn and the finan-
cial arrangements made.
One of the hopeful features of the
situation is that the unemployment
in the cities is forcing hundreds of
young men back to the farm. Thou
sands of these boys were lured from
the farms by fancy salaries and easy
work in factories during the war;
now that the pinch has come, the
glamor of the city is gone and they
are getting back where they are as
sured of plenty to eat and a place to
sleep. Pay for farm labor is much
lower than it was last year, but the
farmers are getting higher grade oi
men and not having to get on their
knees and beg for help as they dic
during the war period.

DEATH FOLLOWS
SERIOUS OPERATION
HENRY STEIBER WENTWORTH
SATURDAY EVENING.

The little village of Wentworth
suffered a shock at $50 p. m. Sat
urday when Henry Steiber, married
and the father of two children was
accidentally shot by son of Mrs.
Gerrits, the postmistress.
Young Gerrits, who is about sew
enteen, was dickering with Mr. Stei-
Der for the sale of 81 caliber re-
volver. He pulled the firearm out
of a drawer at the postoffice, and,
unmindful of the fact that one load
ed cartridge was still in the cylinder
spring hammer. The muZZle was on
a level with Mr.. Steiber's abdomen.
The bullet struck the left outer ad-
dominal wall and continued its path
through several loops of intestines,
puncturing their walls several times.
After the tragic affair the victim
was rushed to the Madison hospital
where several local surgeons held
consultation and finally decided ,tc
take out a section of the intestines in
an effort to save the life of the un-
fortunate man. About eight inches
of the intestinal tract were removed
and the two ends OF the incised parts
spliced.
1t was discovered during the nee
essarily hasty operation that, the bul.
let lodged just under the skin on the
opposite side of entrance.
There were enough punctures
made to cause fatal results. Mr.
Steiber's weakened state, together
with the terrible wounds, made il
impossible to save his life.
Before passing away the victim
made the statement that the affair
was entirely an accident. Gerritt Is
just about distracted over the out.
come of the fatal shooting. His
mother is away on a vacation ano
he has been looking after her duties
in her absence.
