ARTIFICIAL DISSEMINATION
WIDENS USE OF GOOD BULL

The chief value of artificial in
semination (breeding) Of dairy cows
lies in extending the use of an out
standing sire in the community
observes H. r. Searles, extension
animal husbandman, University
Farm, st. Paul.
"Dairymen must remember that
just as the daughters of good bull
raise the quality of herd, so the
daughters Of a poor bull lower it,"
says Searles. 1.-The value of a good
bull Is not known until he Is
years old or older when his period
of future usefulness is limited. Arti-
fetal dissemination would make it
possible for such a bull to leave
several hundred calves in a COM
munity each year the rest of his
life. Consequently, the quality of
the herds in the community would
be stepped up rapidly.
Therefore, artificial insemina-
ton has its greatest value in maxi
ing use of bulls that have been pro-
we'd as to their ability to sire
daughters of high production and
good type. It is not method of
providing cheaper bull service, but
one of providing better bull service
1t is not tool for the careless or
indifferent dairyman, but it does
seem to have possibilities for that
group Of progressive breeders who
keep production records and are
striving to improve their herds
and their breed"
To make use of this new tech
nique, however, it is necessary to
first find the good bulls. The iden-
tification program Of COW testing
associations in Minnesota with
automatic proving Of herd sires
is driving directly toward this OBJ
jective, says Searles.
To the owner Of the proved sire,
artificial dissemination offers the
opportunity to profit from his
ownership by selling service from
his good sire.

Paisley Once Noted for
Manufacture of Shawls

Paisley Is the name Of q manu-
featuring town in the neighborhood
OF Glasgow in Scotland. While it is
. very ancient town, its fame in the
world rests largely upon the fact
that 1t was during the Nineteenth
century the original and principal
center Of the manufacture Of the
famous shawls.
Paisley has been q textile town
for more than 200 years, recalls a
writer In the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, and some Of its old streets COM
memorare in quaint names the fact
that the industry has long been DOM
iciled there-there are Lawn. Gauze,
lncle. Cotton, Silk, Thread and Shut
tie streets.
The shawl was introduced to Eu-
ropean and American use from the
East. q curious minor consequence
OF the French invasion Of Egypt in
1873. Officers Of the European
armies contesting in that country
sent home to their ladies some Of
the fine Turkish and Indian shawls
lof the Egyptian bazaars. These set
Q fashion, and shawls began to be
made in Europe to meet the de-
mand.
Paisley took up their manufac-
ture, too. The article which became
known as the Paisley shawl was of
what was called harness work"
and was an attempt to produce in
the loom the effects which in the
/ Indian cashmere shawls were pro-
duced by the needle.
Paisley workmanship was so good
and Paisley merchandising so sue
cessful that the manufacture of
shawls rose rapidly to the point
where, about 1885, the town was
turning out shawls to the value of
e ! ZOO, 600 a year.
The Paisley shawl was then a uni
..versal bridal present, but the fash
ion was practically dead by 1870.

FARMERS FIND SOW
TESTING PAYS DIVIDENDS

Minnesota farmers have found
that selecting sows for ability to
produce heavy filters in as short
a time as possible is paying divi-
dends.
II. G. Zavoral, extension animal
husbandman for the Minnesota
Agricultural Extension Service, ex-
plains that after years Of sow
testing, some swine raisers who
formerly marketed their hogs in
z or s months are now able to sell
them In months. One hog pro.
ducer reported hogs weighing 210
pounds in months, and another
marketed 200-pound pigs in s days
short Of 5 months.
Sow testing provides for mark
ing and weighing filters at weaving
time, and recording Of weights at
$50 days. Results show that pigs
weighing less than 80 pounds at
Sc days make gains slowly and
take too long to reach marketable
weights frequently 8 months or
more to- reach 200 pounds. On
farms where pigs weighed from
50 to 40 pounds at weaving time
2OO-pound weights were reached
in months.
At sow selection demonstrations
In several counties this fall, the
reasons for picking sows and gifts
from the best filters in farm herds
were demonstrated for many swine
raisers. Selections were made from
filters that averaged seven or
more pigs, that were uniform in
type and size, and which at $50
days were the heaviest in the
herd. Sows were chosen on the
basis Of the weight of their lit
tiers, gifts from the heaviest litters.
