__ .__-» indiscriminate Use of Sires #reduces
` Scrub Stock.
The mixing of breeds, 'or-what ls
more commonly termed crolls-breed- ing, -ls not safe or profitable venture. -_In the first place, it destroys the breed character of the animals produced. It .would be impossible-by breeding from this produce to get _back to the quality of_animals used as s. startling point, no matter how hard the effort. You have startled on the road for the pro- duction of scrubs.-
lntensive breeding, free from close
inbreeding ls responsible for tho high standard of our pure bred clnlmnls. The mixing of breeds is claimed, by its advocates, to be an advantage llc casionally, invigorating and strength- enlng thc constitutional properties in the animal. This may be the re/suit, but the same results can be obtained within the blood lines or the breed aimed in be improved.
t`r'0ss-l.\recllil'.;_: is a sure source of
destroying c-sizxhllahed family chnrsc- teristics of breed that it has taken generations to create and bring up to a high degree of excellence. This destruction of type and samenesa in the family of any special breed is e. serious matter. The uniform herd lull-l a convincing influence associated with it that is fascinating to the eye of thc stock fancier; it sells snlmuls when all else fails. Does this making of breeds prove of lasting advantages, or does it revert to injury in latter re- sults? lt would be hard to find n -practical breeder, a breeder of in- telligence nnd recognized good judge- ment, who would endorse or recom- _mend such a course-to the owner of pllré bred stock of any kind. -The purchase of a good sire of the same breed, if intelligently selected, will instil vigor and correct weakness, just as certainly as the introduction of a sire or different greed. If the breeders _of stock who are failing in getting good results in their breeding operations, and who are thereby weakening their herds or flocks, _would employ n skilful breeder to sel- ectect sires for them, there would be no need of mixing breeds, and the talk of breeds running out and degen- erating would soon be a thing of the past. . There are many swine rnlsers, sheep raisers and cattle ralsers who have no. fixed type or breed of animals in their mind. They are ready to buy a sire of one breed this year and turn him in with their herd; next year they will try another breed, and so on un- til they lose breed colors and charac- teristics and become dissatisfied with their entire stock. This class- of stockmen are the promoters of the scrub, and so on as they persist in their practice of indiscriminate use of sires of various breeds, there will be u scrub stock. Unformity in it herd is s strong feature in values. It is an attractive feature to buyers. and the pleasing of a b\iyer's fancy ishalf the bargain in making a sale. Select the breed that most nearly suits' your fnucy, and when started stick to the breed and' strive to improve it` by carc- fui selection of sires.- Maritime Far- mei-.

Good grasais an essential factor in
the health and productiveuess of dai- ry-cows. To obtain these good gener- al farming is needed One to 8 large extent supplements the other. A dai- ry farrrer who neglects his soil and

A 100-ton concrete silo has been built in conjunction with the shed. and sllago and timothy hay will make the ration of the brood mares during the winter.

CARE OF MiLK IN WINTER.
If the cow be kept clean and the
milk be drawn in a cleanly manner in- to a clean pall by u clean person and be removed shortly after straining from the barll, there is no reason why winter milk should have a “cowy od- or." This "cowy odor"is usually caus- ed by filth which drops into the milk during the milking, or is absorbed by the milk from the foul air in the stable.
Milk should be removed from the
stable before it cools to the tempera- ture of the atnble nir; otherwise it will absorb taints rapidly.
After straining the milk does not
usually require any special cooling other than that which takes place from the cold air, if it is stirred oc- casionally to prevent the cream rising' and to ensure uniform cooling through- 'out the whole mass ot' milk. lt. is also necessary to prevent the milk freez- ing in order to obtain thc best re- Isults. ` . li’ sent to a winter crenmery, it

PLYMOUTH ROCK OWNS
GREATEST POPULARITY
(Louis Paul Graham, in N. Y. Suli.-
ket poultry at all ages from broiler size (7 to 8 weeks old- to full matur- ity. lnd are very popular in some sec- tions for the production of the nest cspons for certain markets.
When full grown the males weigh
from 8 to, 11 pounds and females 'I _to 10 pounds, and are probably the larg- est of all the Plymouth Rock family.
Their plumage ghould be pure white,
legs and beak deep rich yellow, combs smnlhuingle slid fine. Such`a fowl not only dresses to the best advantage,al_\d commands best prices. but is also very attractive in large flocks.
Fnnclers have done very much to
improve and popularlze this breed,un- til at present it is regarded as the most typiclll in shape of all the Plymouth Rocks. They are always salable at good prices, and they usually are shown lu goodly numbers at the coun- try exhibitions.

First, choose the breed. Have an
ideul nnimlll and work for it. Breed
'from maf.l.i‘ed and well bred Bowl
The most popular ol` all Americail
breeds of poultry, both in the United
States and foreign countries, is thc
none nocrliioe individuality to pedi- gree. Breed prolific sows only. Avoid
_cross-breeding and feeding boo much
corn and ice water, as this lessens
to place a first class bull at the head nnonlu be aollvoroil oi lonni ini-oo
of the herd and to raise the heifers from the best cows. It is not enough to 'buy a bull with n pedigree, pedigree must bo ll. history of the bull; it must give the performance oi' the dam, and the grunddam upon both _-lidcs. Unless the pedigree contains the performance of the ancestors of the bull it has no vane as a guide in future breeding. We know of no method to increase the efficiency' of the herd equal to that of purchasing a first class bull and raising the heifer calves dropped by the best cows. And the way to find out which cows are the best is to weigh and test the milk. And when a good bull is placed at the head of the herd see to it that he is not sacrificed until his daughters have had an opportunity to show their worth.
VAGARIES OF' THE COW
At n recent meeting of the Mou-
mouthshiro Chamber of Agriculture. .the milk standard' came under discus- sion, and Mr. .R. Stratton gave the re- sults Of experiments he had conduct- ed, which tended to show that _the milk 'ienler was greatly open to the possi- bility of suffering for the loss of the cow. lt is hold that pure milk must have 3 percent _of butter-fat. Mr. Stratton's first two samples were tak-
cn on October ,‘_l3th, and. analyzed, 'howed 3.50 percc t and 3.52. .-’l.f‘ier 'eeding the cows in a certain way for a week, the second cow's mik showed 3.04, while the other's was absolutel~y stationary. On October 2Stli, the first cow's milk fell to 2.70 percent of but- ter-fat. and thc other possessed 2.20 percent.. On October 31st. the first mentioned actu'sTfy' dropped' to 1.50 percent, while the other rose to 3.80 percent. Then he took a white cow, as abc was old, and a black cow,which was nn average animal. The milk of the one gave'3.60 per cent of butter- f_at, but on November__'3rd the analy- stls certlilcato of-` tho samples from them was '1.60 und 5.10 percent., re- spectively. yet both had the same food. Subsequently, .thc 1.60 por cent rose to 5.20. 'l‘he whole thing was abso- lutely confusing and bewildering. lt would bc grossly unfair to -convlcta msn' on one anaysis or one ca_ae. Ev- vgning milk was generally better than morning's. The figuresubove men- tioned referred to the morning's sup- py. Ho tool: four samples of even- ing's milk, sending two to bo analy- zed at Cardiff and two at Newport. 1*-he result cl' me Newport analysis reveniedone to be 2.70 percent and the other 5.50 percent.

A COB FOR THE GALE.
it is comparatively easy to train a
,young calf to drink ii' he is taken in
‘builds within ll few days after he is
born, but it is n. different matter if he has bell allowed to run with his motil- er for n while und has not been sonic- what nccustomed to liumnn lianiilflig. The calf that is born. in the pasture and does not soon._ come in contact with man is about as wild as any wild animal imaginable.
A method of teaching such a calf to
drink was bit upon by one who had labored ll week with a particularly ob- streperous youngster that has not been taken from his mother until more than a month old. It seemed as if the calf simply could not learn to drink u- lone. The old-fashioned method of giv- ing the calf the fingers to suck w as used until nearly all the skill had been worn off the knuckles by contact with the edge of the pail, while the little fellow’s sharp teeth had badly lacerat- ed the flesh of the Brat two fingers. He had been compelled to go without several meals in succession, ill the llopo of starving him into drinking, but it would not work. An inspiration camo to the cnlf feeder. ‘
A rather slender and somewhat soft
corncob was broken off about three inches long, pierced through the pit with a fort tine ami soaked fora min- ute or two in milk. it was then thrust into the cnlf's mouth and he began to work to get tllc warm milk. Tile calf soon forgot his troubles in the drau- ght that came through the hole in thc cob. He let goin s few minutes, and the false tent had to be placed in his mouth again. but he soon learned to recover it for himself. Then one time wh_ile "bobbing" for the cob he dis- covered that he could get the riiilk much faster nud much more conven- iently without anything ill his moutii. Thereafter he asked nolnlng of the feeder further than t hat his pall of milk he placed before him.
This scheme has been found to work
with entire satisfaction on calves of every ugc.
