Experience of Owners Who
Are in Position to Make
Comparison.

Of AErlcuituro-1
A report just issued by the United
States Department OF Agriculture on
the progress OF the better sires-
better stock campaign for the Improve
ment OF domestic animals states
briefly why pure bred animals excel
other kinds. The information Is
based on the average experience OF
hundreds Of stock owners who have
been in a position 10 make compari-
sons. Il thus points to the results
which other farmers who are consid-
erlng the Improvement OF their live
stock may expect from pure bred sires
and also from the combined use OF
pure bred sires and pure bred dams.
Summary Of Points
Following Is summary OF the
points In which pure breds excel:
Based on utility alone. pure bred
live stock has an earning power from
a third to one-half greater than scrub
stock. Pure breds excel other stock
in: Superiority and uniformity In con-
formation and type, greater sale value.
early maturity and economy In the
conversion Of feed into meat. milk,
wool and work.
Surplus pure breds are salable at
satisfactory prices in a majority OF
cases.
The progeny OF pure bred sires has
practically a so per cent greater sale
value than the progeny Of sires not
pure bred
Better breeding. combined with
proper and adequate feed. practically
prevents runty live stock. OF which
the average farm has about per
cent.
Well-bred beef cattle, sheep and
swine yield from s to 10 per cent more
meat than inferior animals OF the
same Hive weight, and the meat is Of
better quality.
Profitable Use Of Feed.
Improved live stock makes about 40
per cent more profitable use OF feed
than common stock. Pure breds excel
grades. and grades excel scrubs.
The use OF pure bred sires leads to
the ownership and use Of. fully six
times as many pure bred female AMI
mails
The foregoing brief conclusions are
based on thorough analyses Of large
numbers OF reports. The movement
FOR better live stock which the depart
nent is conducting. in cooperation
with the various states, has resulted

animals are superior 10 ordinary live

Purest Grade of Clover
Seed Always Cheape


The best grade OF clover seed sells
az higher rate than the poorer
grades, but one pays less for each
pound OF yiable seed when the best
is bought.
THE term, bushel OF clover seed,
Is very Indefinite unless you know the
percentage Of purity, the percentage
OF germinstien, the kind OF weed seeds
II contains and where II was grown, :"
says e. C. Blair. extension agronomlst
for the North Carolina State College
Of Agriculture. 1.-THE purest sample OF
clover seed ever grown Is no good II
II viii not terminate; seed that will
terminate 100 per cent are costly II
they are trashy and full of trouble
some weed seeds Field tests have
shown that clover seed grown In the
United States will survive our winters
better than those grown Ia foreign
countries. 's's -r--- ssss-s-
Mr. Blair states that the North Car
olIna seed laboratory has set eS per
cent as the standard OF purity and
30 per cent as the standard of germl-
nation. Samples received at this lab
oratory last year ranged from 1880
to 1894 per cent IN purity, and from
8 TO 0S per cent in termination.
"A comparison was recently made OF
six good samples Of American-grown
red clover seed" says Mr.. Blair. "The
results OF the tests showed that the
best seed was the cheapest because
the purchaser secured larger num-
Der Of viable seed for his money as
10 cheaper seeds which were
low In termination, trashy and full Of
weed seeds"

Anti-FoR Deuice

The Jogging Of show windows, II
they are OF the boxed-in type, may be
prevented by placing a fiat glass or
porcelain dish containing calcium
chloride in the window. This chemical
substance quickly absorbs moisture
from the air with the result that the
moisture is prevented from congealing
against the outside glass. says Popular
Science Monthly
The contents OF the dishes must be
renewed every two or three days. and
the moist calcium chloride thoroughly
dried. after which It may be used
again.
