A pasture dotted with well bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep marks the owner as a progressive farmer. There Is a great deal more pleasure, too.

Do not make a basty choice, for nothing will mln your chances of success more certainly than frequent changes from one breed to another. Select your breed with care and then stick to It. All the leading breeds have pood points, and the mat ter of selection is more a question of Individual preference than anything else. In beginning with pure bred stock the best plan for the average farmer to follow Is to purchase a pure bred male of the desired breed and proceed to grade np his herd. There are two principles of breeding that should be kept in mind in this work. The first is the old law that "like produces like." In the main this law holds good, and. other things being equal, the offspring will resemble the parents. The second is the law of "atavism," or the tend ency of the offspring to take after some remote ancestor. This is where the value of the pure bred sire comes in. His ancestors for generations have been animals of the same type as him self, and hence there is little chance of his progeny differing from this type to any serious extent. This long con tinued breeding along a certain line gives to the pure bred animal an abil ity to reproduce his type that the grade sire lacks. This ability is called prepotency. Because of bis great prepotency a pure bred bull when mated to grade cows has much more influence over the characters of his offspring than the mothers have. This is most striking ly shown when a polled bull is mated to horned cows. Nine out of every ten of the calves will usually be polled. It is the same with other characteris ticsthe ability to quickly turn corn Into high priced beef or to use the feed for profitable milk and butter produc tion. Of course If the cows are pure bred j also there is less chance of the calves resembling some Inferior ancestor on their mother's side, and Improvement will be more rapid and certain. The cost of an entire herd of pure breds is very great, however, and profits will come more surely by the grading up plan. After this hts been carried on for a time, so that the farmer has some experience In breeding and car ing for high class stock, a gradual start In pure bred females may be made by Inlying a row and calf or a few yearling heifers- As the offspring of these Increase the number of pure bred In the herd the grades can grad ually ! disposed of until an entire pure bred herd final' y results. In the selection f a sire to begin grading up a herd II Is Important that be be of the type which It is desired to reproduce in the offspring. The most Important things to look for in n beef t bull are constitution, form, quality and thick fleshing. Of these constitution Is probably the most Important, as a bull that is strong in this point will have the ability to sire a large num ber of rugged, healthy calves, stitutlon is Indicated by a deep. chest; large "barrel." giving plenty of roou) for the digestive organs: good sized nostrils and a large, clear eye. A point that must go with constitution if the best results are to be obtained I Is prepotency, Prepotency means the ability of a sire to reproduce his good j points in his offspring. It Is Indicated I by a heavy crest and a masculine look- ' lng head. A bull that has a fine, fem- tnine appearing head will not be at nil j certain of producing good calves, even though he Is a good individual him self. Constitution and prepotency are ot S. A.

McOormack . . little account, however, unless the bull has the proper form. The back and hind quarters of a beef animal are the parts that produce (he high priced meat. Ureat width all along the back, esinviaUy over the loin; good spring of rib. pleu it 'of depth and short logs are points that should be looked for. Long leuged bulls ate usually narrow and rangy. The leu-s are of little value as meat, so the. shorter they are the bolter. Quality Is shown by fineness of hair, pliability of bide and not too much coarseness of shoulder, head and bono. An animal with good qual ity will furnish a letter grade of 0. D. Douglass meat, and there will le less waste In K. E. KUiott killing. Thickness of flesh Is one of the most Important points to look for. Py this Is meant not fat. but the nat ural covering of lean meat. I'at can be put on during the feeding perhHl. " but lean meat cannot. An animal j K that Is thickly muscled at the begin ning of the feeding oriod will fur nish a carcass that will lie well mar bled with streaks of fat and lean, while another on the same feed, will put most of his fat on In the form of tallow. These same points are the essential ones to look for In the selection of a ram or boar. Strong constitution, wide. deep, blocky form, fine quality and thick fleshing are just as Itnpor tant In these animals na In the bull. Of course It will le- Impossible to find an animal that is perfect In all points. If the females In your herd are badly lacking In any particular be sure to select a male that Is espe cially strong there. On the other hand, a slight weakness on the part of the sire in a place where the fe males are especially strong may be overlooked. An animal that has any very serious faults, however, should not be considered for a moment Dairy bulls lack the fleshing and compactness that characterize beef animals. Low setness and extra width of back are not so essential. Constitution, as shown by a deep chest wide on Mbe bottom and a roomy barrel. Is Important. A clean head, smooth shoulder, fine limbs and pliable skin show the quality that Is so necessary In a dairy animal. The most Important point Is prepotency. A strong chest, masculine head and large rudimeutary teats are all Indi cations of this. The best way to fore cast a dairy buirs prepotency, how ever, is to look up the milk and butter producing records of his dam and granddams. A bull out of a high pro ducing cow will almost certainly be get heifers that will be high yielders. The most Important points loo, for In draft horses, which are the most profitable kind to raise on the farm, are power and endurance. Pow er is indicated by size, compactness and heavy muscling, especially in the hind quarters. Endurance Is shown by a strong constitution and fine qual ity, especially of limbs. Strict observance of these points lu the selection of a sire of any kind will give you an animal that will In a few years bring about a great Improve ment in your herd. Pedigree should not be neglected entirely In picking out a sire, its chief value is In show ing that the animal Is pure bred and that his ancestors were of the type which you wish to develop In your herd. To determine the latter point, however, requires a longer study of herd books than most farmers have time for. If you put the chief stress upon the Individuality of the animal and file the pedigree away In a drawer where It can be referred to when nec essary .you will not go far wrong. When yon have found an animal of the desired type do not hesitate too 1.30 H. Hughes . . K. Ilurus . . . r Forrester J. U'wellon Krueger . . .
