Health" was made by the children
the house made of pasteboard and
covered with pictures of fruits and
vegetables. They also made one
large poster called Here We Are"
and many small posters, cook books
containing proper foods and recipes.
This work was correlated with class
room subjects and was very well
planned and carried out.
Class C-Rural and elementary

ture," submitted by the pupils of
Trinity School, No. 221-C, John H.

were laid out on a board and car
ried out in every detail. The fence
posts were carved from soap, and
the shrubbery from bath sponges.
On the grounds the children are do
ing their health exercises (the chill
dren are cleverly made from beads)
with Walter Stout conducting, while
Lord Water, Sir Milk, Sir Egg, and
Sir Carrot are standing by-having
come to visit to observe how they
are helping the pupils in mastering

EACTS FOR 7
= ARM FOLKS+
USE GOOD BREEDING STOCK
By DR.. John N. EYYard


The prime functions of the pork
making yards of the farmstead are
to economically convert the farm
feeds into high quality products
that will meet with favor when Of
fered on the market. In selecting
animals for breeding, therefore, the
main idea is to find efficient ones
because those which are efficient
feed converters are the ones which
have the better opportunity for pro-
ducing offsprings that are likewise
high in the scale of swine yard ac-
complishment.
We have produced pigs from un-
favorable breeding stock which took
eight to ten months to reach the
two hundred pound weight, whereas
across the fence we secured from
well-selected, efficient breeding
stock pigs that reached the. two hun
dred pound market size in five to
six months. And the pigs which
made the most rapid gains also re-
quired much less feed per pound OF
gain produced SOws as well as
boars vary greatly in their abilities;
hence one must be alive to the fact
that selection must be rigid on both
sides of the house.
One must keep in mind three out
standing ideas in selecting superior
breeding animals, namely: Health
gaining ability, and conversion.
1t is obvious that hogs which are
healthy and stay healthy are more
preferable than those which become
disease-ridden, hence it is impera-
tive that disease-resistant strains De
emphasized.
Rapidity of gains is to be empha-
sized because those hogs which gain
the most rapidly require the least
feed per pound of increase made.
Those pigs which reach the market
able weight class at an early age,
are invariably the most economical
feed-to-pork converters.
And then. too, one must look TO
form and Zines" of the breeding
stock because if the conformation is
correct the chances are enhanced
for the production of high dress
ing percentage as we'll as a relative
ly high yield, comparatively speak
ing, of the most valuable pork cuts,
hams, loins, bacon and so on.
Remember, then, that it is wise
to select for breeders both male and
female, close relatives of those ami
mails which have the characteristics
described for thereby one secures
the best kind of offspring-those
which make the most money because
thev produce the most weight per
bushel of feed fed. Likewise such
animals also have a high yield of
high price pork cuts.
Fortunate is the swine man who
has the ability to select suDerior
breeding animals: his rrofits mount
in accordance with his talents along
these lines.

and color. The more important dis
qualifications, such as side sprigs in
single-comb varieties, stubs in
clean-legged breeds and foreign col
or should not be used. If proper at
tention is not paid to these matters,
the flock may lose the distinctive
features of the breed and variety to
which it belongs.
The male breeders should also be
selected very carefully on the basis
of constitutional vigor. The ear
lobes and wattles of a desirable
breeder fit closely to head that is
moderately deep, broad and free
from wrinkles and over hanging
eyebrows. The eye should be large
and prominent, set well back in a
big, oval socket. The beak should
be stout and well curved.
The general body outline should
be rectangular, the curves being
sharp. The back should be broad
and carried comparatively horizon
tai and the underline straight. The
body should be we'll balanced. The
neck, wings and legs should be mod
erately short. The legs Of good
male should be well placed and set
wide a part.
Try to secure males that combine
excellent breed type characteristics
with blood lines that will insure
high production. Just remember
that a good male can exert a far
reaching influence on the entire
flock.

USE GOOD MALES IN POULTRY
FLOCKS
By Prof. H. D. Munroe

The male bird is over half of the
breeding flock of poultry. The Sc
lection of male breeders is relative
ly more important than the selec-
ton of female breeders, because the
offspring Of each male are more
numerous than the offspring of any
female and the male constitutes one
half of the heritage given to all the
offspring.
The average flock owner cannot
trap nest his poultry flock but there
are enough poultrymen producing
cockerels from trap nested hens that
every breeding flock could be head
ed by males from 200 or more egg
hens.
Males selected for breeding pur-
poses should conform reasonably
well to the standard qualifications
for the breed and variety. They
should show standard breed tyne

ted by the pupils of the First Grade
of Lord Baltimore School, No. %,
Sussex County-Miss Sallie Evans,
teacher. The theme of this project
was the planning of a trip to Happy
town, to be taken in the Graf Yep
pelin on Thanksgiving Day. Each
child, in order to be eligible for the
trip, must be normal in weight. OF
course those who were not, imme-
diately began to eat proper foods,
get the proper amount of sleep,
etc., in order to be able to go. A
paster was made showing pictures
of the Zeppelin and hanger and as
each child qualified he or she was
allowed to paste on a picture of a
boy or girl, whichever the case
might be, with name written under.
Miss Evans tells us that much en-
thusiasm was shown and the result
was very gratifying-when the time
was up, 20 of the Sc children in the
room were signed up for this glor-
ious "trip in the air."
