breed to select. 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

ber of rugged, healthy calves,

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

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
