FARMERS ON PUREBRED BASIS
Many Live Stock owners Are Follow
ing Methods Leading to Further
Improvement of Herds.

More than $500 farmers since the
last census have placed their breeding
operations on a strictly pure-bred-sire
basis and are. following methods lead
ing to further improvement, records
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture show. This has been a
development of approximately three
years. At the present rate of enroll
ment sthe number will pass the 10000
mark within the next three months.
This number of live stock owners rep
resents the ownership of more than
one million head of stock, all of which
is improving by the use of purebred
sires. An additional requirement for
enrolment in the campaign is that
sires must be of good quality in addi
ton to being pure bred. The depart.
ment issues an attractive emblem of
recognition to live stock owners who

Seventy-five out of every 100 heifer
calves that are born twin to bull calf
are non-breeders, according to records
collected by L. J. Cole of the genetics
department. of the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture. He believes, however, that
the percentage is considerably higher.
This inability to reproduce is caused
by the fact that the blood of the I'M
born male calf flows through the body
Of the unborn female, causing the fe-
male to develop male characteristics
in the reproductive organs, which are
consequently non-funcrional.
The male calf, according to Cole, is
unaffected by this twin birth and is
just as good for breeding purposes as
calf born singly. Figures taken from
herd books of breed associations show
that only about two births In every
thousand are mixed twins.
1.-THE external appearance of a
heifer calf twin to a bull will not in
dictate whether or not it will repro
duce," declares Cole. '"The only safe
way is. to allow the heifer to grow to
maturity and watch the results of
breeding a competent veterinarian
could probably determine the matter
at the age of a few months"
The results of Investigations have

USE PUREBRED SlRES
IN IMPROVING HERD
Fifteen-Year Experiment Recent
" Ended al Iowa Station.
MIX Production of Scrub Cows In.
creased SO Per Cent by Their
Half-BIood Daughters-Many
Farmers Are Afraid.

The value of purebred Sires in bu1ld
Ing UP dairy herd is shown by a hf'
teen-year experiment recently con-
Guided at the Iowa Agricultural col
lege. By the use of purebred Holstein
bulls, the milk production of the scrub
cows was increased SO per cent by
their half-blood daughters and $50
per cent by their three-fourths blood
granddaughter. The butterfat pro-
duction was increased by the daugh-
tiers IS per cent, and by the grand
daughters 1913 per cent.
The offspring in nearly every case
showed Improvement also in body con-
formation, persistency of milk flow
and more economical production. A
good flow of milk for a short period
is not desirable Animals which have
a large milk flow and long sustained
milking period are always to be pre-
ferred.
The superiority Of purebreds and
grades over scrubs In actual average
monthly production is clearly proved
by the figures. One of the main rea-
sons the scrubs showed such poor
production was their lack of persist
ence. The improvement in the off
spring in this respect is due entirely
to the pure blood OF the sire.
Many farmers milking a string of
scrub cows want to own better cattle
but fear the cost. They are anxious
to improve the milking qualities of
their herds and really enter in the
dairy business. They fear to buy in"
and do not grow in" because they are
unaware of the rapid progress pos
sible in grading up. The Iowa investi-
cation shows that herd of profitable
producers can be built from founda-
ton of common cows where the initial
expense Is a good purebred sire.

HOW TO REDUCE LOSS
IN SHIPPING SWINE
Many Hogs Arrive at StoCkyards
Dead or Crippled.
Waste is Wholly Unnecessary and
Greatly Reduces Amount of Mar
ketabe Pork and Decreases
Profits of Farmers.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Figures recently compiled by the
United States Department of Agricul-
cure show that during a period Of six
months in 1922 there were received
at nine of the principal stockyards Of
the country total of 28,375 dead hogs
and 38,708 hogs in a more or less
crippled condition. These figures indi-
cate a waste that is wholly unneces-
sary and that greatly reduces the
amount of marketable pork and de.
creases the profit of the farmers maxi
ing the shipments.
The department points out that
nearly all of this waste may be at
tributed to improper handling Of the
hogs just prior to shipment Quite
often hogs about to be shipped are
rushed to a small inclosure, penned
up in crowded way, and fed heavy
ration preparatory to being hauled or
driven to the stock car In getting
them to the loading point, frequently,
the animals are prodded, kicked, and
hurried until worried into a highly
nervous condition.
When ready for market, hogs should
be assembled long enough before the
date Of shipment to allow them to be-
come rested. They should not be
crowded into small pens or houses,
nor fed heavy rations. If they are
driven to the loading point, they shoJld
not he rushed on the way; if they
are hauled, too many hogs should not
be crowded into the truck or wagon.
The loading chutes should not be too
steep, should be made secure and have
the sides protected so the animals will
not fall off. Crowding too many hogs
in car, particularly in hot weather,
is likely to result in a number of
them dying in transit. Loading hogs
after a heavy feed is injurious. A lit
tie hunger is far better for them on
the journey than indigestion. There is
nothing to be gained in added weight
of the animals by forced feeding just
before shipping. The aim should be to
get as many of the hogs as possible
to the stockyards in good condition.
