Character, SoundnesS and Good Con 1 formation. | mary of the study to be dealt with 1 more fully in a circular which the De partment is preparing for publication Summary. l. Based on utility alone (entirely apart from breeding or sales value) purebred live stock has an earning power from a third to one-half greater than scrub stock. The average su- periorfty of purebreds over scrubs for all classes of farm animals is about 40 per cent.
 9 Of the principal points in which purebreds excel other stock, the most prominent are: Superiority and uni formity in conformation and type, greater sale value, greater and more economical production, and earlier ma turity.
 g. Surplus purebredS are readily sal able at satisfactory prices in ma jOrity of cases; but sales and prices depend largely on the quality of stock as shown by breeding and production records, also on the business ability of the breeder.
 4. With rare exceptions, purebred- sire users are satisfied with the qual- ity of the offspring obtained, except that the desire is created in many cases to further improve the quality.
 ,. The progeny of purebred sires has practically 50 per cent greater sale value than the progeny of non- purebreds.
 6. Purebred sires of good quality are readily obtainable in the expert ence of three-fourths of the breeders reporting. The principal difficulties are: Paying the price and finding the desirable type, but there is practically unanimous agreement that the results justify the cost.
 '. The average increase in financial returns, from livestock raising, trace able to the use of purebred sires is AS per cent
 8. Each breeder of purebred live stock influences, on an average, about nine other persons to raise superior animals.
 9. Of the chief influences which cause farmers to become breeders of are: Reading agricultural periodicals and bulletins, general observation, and county agents.
 10. The principal methods by which breeders expect to continue to improve their stock are: Use of superior sires careful selection and mating md use of superior females.

Soviet Will Cease Use of Gold.

Moscow.-The soviet government has decided to refrain from using the gold ruble as a calculating unit. The difference in exchange between paper and gold has been increasing so rapid 1y that fears were expressed in finan- cia1 circles that the whole existing wage and payment system might be shattered. Onep Ian under considera- ton is that of decree determining a goods index as the calculating unit. This index would determine the wages and the value of the goods.

BIBLE ASCRIBED TO SATAN
Evil One Declared to Have Assisted Monk to Perform Work, for
 Fearful Price.

One of the most famous copies of the Scriptures fin existence Is the one which bears the curious title, 1.-The Devils Bible" It is an exquisite piece of workmanship, inscribed on 300 asses skins, and was taken to Stock holm at the conclusion of the Thirty Years war.
 According to tradition this Bible was the work of a poor monk who was condemned to death for some defection, but was told that the sen tence would be commuted if he would copy out on asses skins the entire Bible in a single night. He agreed to try to do it but, finding the task too great, made a compact with the devil to exchange his soul for the required transcript. The devil kept his part of the bargain, and the work was finished on time. The monks life was spared by his marveling judges. but tradition Is silent as to how he kept his end of the agreement.

l White Rock cockereI, a Prize Winner more salable than that of non-purebred sires and brings nearly 50 per cent greater returns.
 The foregoing are few results of recent inquiry conducted by the bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The figures are based on about 5000 head of breeding stock owned by 525 expert enced livestock owners. Besides, the same persons own 3O,OOO fowls on which the poultry results are based. All of these stockmen have for several years-an average of nine-used pure bred sfres to head their herds and f1ocks.
 Figures Are Conservative.
 The figures mentioned were obtained during the last part of 1921 in a peri stock industry. Partly for that req son they are considered conservative even though pointing to an unusually high value of purebreds over com mon stock.
 The purpose of obtaining this new information was to supply an increas- ing demand for facts of greater scope than single ShOrt-time observations. With the development of the Federal State campaign for Better Sires- Better Stock" the Department has re- ceived an unusually large number of requests asking what purebreds can do for the man who does not aspire to become specialized breeder.

| them the proper care and opportunity l to prove their worth.
 The bureau has abundant evidence cOrrOborating this belief. One farmer | relates that the impelling force which prompted him to acquire purebreds was the need for more income. He reasoned that ownership of purebreds
 was not the proverbial wealthy mans
 diversion, but the poor mans necessity
 He obtained the best foundation stock
 within his means and gave it good

 part purebred animals of good type are readily obtainable. But special requirements or a desire for the less common breeds generally involve some difficulties and higher prices.
 About 9S per cent of the purebred livestock owners reporting to the De partment were satisfied both with the purebredS themselves and the progeny, except when they expressed the de sire for still better stock. As one breed CT explained, the desire for improve ment is necessary for progress. A few had unfortunate experience with purebreds of inferior quality and point ed out the need for making selections with great care. Practically all re- ports agreed on the principle that su- perior quality among purebreds them selves is invariably worth a higher cost.
 Numerous sidelights the raising of improved live stock under practi- cal farm conditions and through differ ent periods, including last years period of depression, have been obtained from the reports. Following is brief sum-

 Purebred live stock has about 40 per cent greater earning power (apart from its breeding or sale value) than scrub stock.
 The superiority of purebreds on utility basis is due principally to: Better conformation and quality, in- creased production, more economical production, and earlier maturity.
