A Useless Practice There are three forms ot swearing common to many people: To curse With Intent to use profane lan guage to be vulgar. Americans are very prone to use slang, and the worst kind ot epi thets are those used in vulgar pro fanity. Swearing Is unnecessary. It Is a In against the Holy Ghost. It low- era your manhood. It is a bad ex ample for others. It Is not fit tor mother, wife, daughter or son to ' hear. Why should other friends be compelled to listen to it? ! God says "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God In vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." And again "Ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall thou profane the name ot the Lord," and "Every Idle, word that men shall speak, they shall give ac count thereof In the day ot judg ment." For these and various other reas ons no man should swear. M. R. GALLAHER, Pastor.

The t'nlted Suites Pepiirtini'iit of Aitricnlture has received a copy of Mr. Hopkins' recommendations fur the future development of the live stock Industry In Wisconsin. These recom mendations point out that stockmen may well seek to Increase their re turns from live stock: (1) by discard ing Inferior animal (2) by streuKth enlng their orKanluitiona, (3) by co operating alien necessary In buying and selling, (4) by combating disease, (3) by supporting boys' and girls' club work, (6) by studying live stock and milk marketing. (T) by Insisting uim more alahlllxed market, and (8) working for the proiier relation be tween the price paid the producer and tlfat paid by the consumer. IMPROVEMENT OF PUREBREDS Virginia Farmer Gradually Helps Quality of Stock by Using Those of Superior Type. Of IM head of live stock on a farm In Shenandoah county, Va., all but five are of pure breeding, the United States Depart meiit of Agriculture Is advised. Cattle and swine are the principal classes of animals kept. In imrtlelpntlng In the "Ketter Sires Heller Slock" cuinpiilgn, the owner of lliese anlinulN states that he cas trates nil Inferior and surplus hogs, keeping none for breeding that can not be registered. "I castrated 'JO lu one day." be adds. "Three of these were good enough yearling hours to head most herds." By keeping only those animals for breeding which are of su perior type, this farmer la gradually Improving the quality of stock on his farm. CONSIDERING OATS FOR HOGS Not Worth While Unless Selling for Leu Than One-Half as Much Per lush-el as Corn, As a general rule It Is not worth while to consider oata as a feed for hogs unless they are selling for less than one-half as much per bushel as corn. In case the hogs are being car ried along rather slowly, however, or the tankage Is extremely high-priced, It may be worth while to feed as much as a pound of oats per pig dally. In any case continue to depend chiefly on corn and tankage, feeding at least two or three parts of corn for each part of oats and at leaat one-fourth of a pound of tnnkage per pig dally. EWES NEED AMPLE EXERCISE Excellent Plan to Scatter Rough Feed Away From Sheds and Let Them Pick It Over. No matter how well they are cared for, If they do not have ample exercise the ewes are likely to have very un thrifty lumbs. An excellent way to exercise the flock Is to scntter out some rough feed away from the sheds every day, und penult them to pick it over. ? FEEDING ROUGHAGE TO SOWS Care Should Be Taken by Farmer That It Is Bright, Nutritious and Free From Mold, Under no condition should a brood sow be fed upon any roughage which is not bright, nutritious and free from smut or mold. She does not relish or thrive on such inferior feed. It Is very apt to cause severe digestive troubles. ' 1 - s ' i i and may lead to the loss of her Utter. Terrebonne rwl NKWH NOTK8 ftJj H.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment uf Agriculture.) Raising (lie stuudtird of furiu an imals ami poultry and bringing out certain desirable characteristics . by sleilive breeding is receiving more atteutlou as methods ef farming for prollt become Intensified. The breeding of domestic animals dates back to remote antiquity, when the most advanced races of the old world were still on the border line between savagery and barbarism. It far antedates any 'but the simplest mechanical arts. Yet while our knowledge ef the laws of nature as they apply te mechanics has reached very great magnitude and complexity. It Is comparatively only a few years since the principles of breeding have been more than a collection of unrelated traditional beliefs. The same supersitlons on 'which the shepherds of Asia based their prac tices at least 80 centuries ago are still widely current, while the one sound principle known to the ancients se lection of the best for breeding stock Is still largely neglected. The principles of successful animal breeding, as they have been learned by practical experience in the United States and other older countries, and by careful scientific study along defi nite lines, are outlined in Department Bulletin 905, recently Issued by the United States Department of Agricul ture. This bulletin goes into the first prin ciples of reproduction and follows the means by which certain characteris tics of one or the other parent are transmitted to the offspring, the meth ods of selection best suited to inten sify the desirable characteristics and weed out the undesirable, the char acteristics which can with certainty be expected to continue from one gen eration to another, those which are uncertain, those which will blend, and those which cannot be Inherited. Aside from mere Increase In num bers the purposes which the breeder 1b likely to have In mind fall under two more or less distinct heads, name ly, production of a uniform product, and improvement. A uniform prod uct depends on such control over the heredity of the stock that maflngs can be made with the assurance that the offspring will be of a certain definite type for which there Is ' a It takes to stand TO get the best shoe? for your money the kind of shoes that stand weather and wear vou must demand.

Improvement Is, of course, closely related to control over hered ity, but the methods which give the greatest control are not necessarily those which lead to' the most rapid Improvement In a broad sense the whole subject of practical breeding comes under the bead ef selection. The most obvious basis for such selection Is the per formance ef the animals themselves, Unfortunately, the merit of most kinds of live stock cannot be meas ured directly. The study of conforma tion as an Index of useful qualities has accordingly held a high place as a basis for selection ef breeding stock. Live stock judging has this for Its purpose. An animal of goot breeding Is a better one to breed than one of equal Individual merit but ot mixed or common breeding. Pedi gree, though often misused. Is a val uable aid to selection, apart from fol lowing a general policy of mating.

"I disposed of a grade bojl last month." ' "I sold a high-grade yearling bull." "Disposed of a scrub bull because we expect to breed to a purebred." "I castrated an inferior male hog and put in a purebred." , "I wilt have to buy bogs and they will be purebred." These comments were received In one day recently by the United States Department of Agriculture from per sons enrolled in the better Sires better stock movement. In addition, many others ntated that, although they did not own purebred sires, their female stock was bred to such ani mals, thus complying with the essen tial requirements of the better-sires campaign.
