Records of Dairy Cow Mean More When Backed By of Producers Family FIRST CROSS MAY PAIL BETTER BUT Pll REBREDS NEEDED By R. C. Stewart Why la the purebred dairy cow becoming auch a dominant factor fa the dairy industry? There are many cases on record wherein the first croas between two breed haa been an exceptionally " high producer at the pall. Many - ss.y this cross between purebreds in better than any of Us purebred ancestors. ' It la true that the first cross is In many cases a very good animal, but to get this first cross we must have purebred animals, otherwise the cross would be between two mixed strains and the results uncertain. There must be- fountain heads to draw from. WILL GET THltEK TTPE8 f Purebreds have been developed through a long period of line breeding and care ful weeding out of the undesirable char acteristics as they develop. Line breed ing Is used by most of the successful breeders of all kinds of stock. Where line breeding is used a very large per cent of the animals look very much alike, and In the dairy animals are con alstenly high producers. Where outcrossing with a different .train, but In the cams brred, li used, some of the progeny will show the physical characteristics of one strain, orne of the other strain and some will how characteristics of both, thus get ting three or more types in the first generation from the crossing of the two trains. . Then the question arises, and It is a big question : What shall the next sire bet If he is of either of the two strains formerly used, the offspring will still Show three or more distinct types, while If a (till different strain is used the different types will again be multiplied. SO MB WILL PREDOMINATE The several types will not always de velop In the first generation, due to the fact that some animals are so strong in their ability to transmit their charac teristics that almost all of their progeny Will Closely resemble them. If the promiscuous crowilng of the dif ferent strains of the name breed Is kept up the breed develops into a conglom erate mixture of types. Not only Is the type affected by the system used In breeding, but the produc tion qualities as well, and lrf a like man ner develop several eitremes, through strain crossing, or one class of consist ent high producers through line breeding. MUST HAVE PUREBREDS Now to go back-to direct outcrossing (where two breeds are crosHed). The several characteristics of each breed will how up to a certain extent, except in lorn cases where the prepotency of one animal will mark much of its offspring. There Will be at , least three types developed In the first generation. By fbo time ttua fourth generation is reached no matter what breed of sire has been used on the second and third, the herd will consist of a mongrel lot with here and there a fair type animal, and now and then an animal with no type that will be a pair producer. Yes. the first cross, is very often bet ter than either one of the originals, but how are you going to get the first cross unless you have the purebred?

HENRY STEWART. Albany, Oregon DIRECT AND SURE The Church Bold Yet Tolerant By Dr. JAMES E. TALMAGK Of the Council of Twelve, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Dav Saints Bait Lake Oity. Utah Sole: For free roplfi of other articles of this series, trad request to tse autaer. The establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was rio experiment. Ita actual organization as a body corporate was preceded by vIMUtlohs of heavenly beings, ly defi- - nlte revelation, bv prophecies as o the unfolding plan of the Kivine purpose in these latter days, and by the pub lication of the nook of Mormon a volume of scripture which. though comprising the record of ancient peo ples, was nw to the modern world. These aid other heavenly manifes tations, including the bestowal of the Holy frifRthood, with its expressly de fined authority urn! appointment to or ganise and build up the Church, were made through Joseph Smith, who at the time of the first visitation was a lad In his fifteenth year. To the earnest student of this un- Jrecedented series of events a certain ominant characteristic is apparent the positlveness and certitude with which the successive avowals of the youthful prophet were set forth. From his testimony of the glorious theophany by which the dispensation of the full ness of times was inaugurated, down to his last Inspired utterances imme diately preceding, his mart-vrdom. his doctrinal teachings, his affirmations and prophecies were unweakened ' y Qualification or ambiguity. , Plain and unembellished by studied rhetoric or dramatic effect, his solemn averments were free from even the shadow of the tentative or provisional. He voioed his message fearlessly and In the strength of simplicity, with no restraining afterthought of opposition, ridicule or persecution. True to the character of a real prophet, he gave out only as he re ceived line upon line, precept upon prejept, here a little and there a little. And behold, the precepts have arrayed themaalvea Into a scriptural unity ; the lines have fallen Into order as verses of a revealed enirr and the little has grown to the fullness of the everlast ing Gospel. rrjlori of Joseph Smith and that of the Church he was instrumen tal In founding have from the first been before the world In their true colore. Though the unity of unalter able purpose and unchanging plan is Impresatvely apparent, there Is noth ing in the latter-day Scripture that , eavora Pt policy or obscure Intent - Granted- that the claims of the Church are bold ones, even strikingly so, and that some of them when first-enunciated atood In disturbing contrast with certain - theological dogmas lpng re garded as orthodox, nevertheless they were presented with an assurance mich as only the certainty of their Divine ounce could justify or sufficiently ex- '. plain.-'; ' ,'- v-: .i. : in hls ag of - free speech and nv. ; erty ef . conscience it la surely allow- , .ble; to . put forth viewa ,and publish FOR THE BACKYARD FLOCK - - ,'Y-n f- - Kniwiioii ula fuvnlvh o nmA nrwn e L flock Is hot on free range. Many find There will always be a good demand for purebreds, and the biggest demand will be for purebreds that are of cor rect type with-all of theft- close family of correct type and consistent high pro ducers. Poultry I NOTES 3-xO Egg shells are good for both growing chicks and laying hens. If you feed hard bollea'egKS to baby chicks you "should grind or chop the shells up with the egea. In feeding shells' to hens you should be careful to break them up SO that theywill not resemble an egg in shape ; otherwise the egg eating hen might be encouraged. A quick fattening food, used by some poultrymen. Is composed of equal parts of corn meal and barley meal, scalded and fed in a warm state. It is claimed that this food also gives more solid flesh and a finer golden color than any other known ration. The Maine station dry mash, used M'ith much natlBfaction for many years. Is composed of- two parts wheat bran, one part corn meal, one part middlings, one part linseed meal, one part beef scrap, one part gluten meal. There is danger, when mash is mixed on the premises, that an overabundance of roughage may be fed, and it is well, where ground oats are used, to sift outl the hulls, sometimes whole hulled oats can be procured to fill out the grain ration.

WOODARD, CLARKE & CO. I PORTLAND, OREGON affirmations relatinir to religious belief, even though the doctrines be opposed to earlier conceptions. provided the riRhts of mm to accept or reject be duly respected. Consider the follow ing Instances of the Njolemn avowals made by Joseph Smith. He declares that in answer to prayer, in the spring of 1820. he Vas visited bv two Personages, in the form and likeness of perfect men andamldst light and glory indescribable. whcKwere none other than God the Eternal rather mna m jyora jsu thrist, and that the tSiFr: P,IUU1S to the later. said my DeioTeu goo; hear H!m.w Ihfn, on September 21, 1S23, Joseph Smith was visited by the angel Moroni, who disclosed to him the depository of the. ancient recordn from which the Book of Mormon has been since trans lated. Fart or the angel's message on this occasion AM rfrnrAc,l in ?.f lhif 'atter-day prophet, was "that " " mr me to aoi and that my name should b bad for good ad jvll among all nations, kindreds and tongne, or that it should be both food aad tII saokea of among all people." (Pearl of Oreat Price. p7 8.) Is It conceivable that an unschooled youth, of obscure parentage and hum ble surroundings, would venture to as sert such future distinction without the assurance of an unmistakable com mission? , Another of Moroni's predictions la thus atated by Joseph Smith: H la. formed me of great Jadtments which were coming upoa the earth, with great desolations by famine, sword and pes Mleneci aad that these grlevoaa Jndg. ments would come on the earth la this generation." Furthermore, the angel cited Scrip ture from both the Old Testament and the Nw, relating . to the gathering of Israel, vicarious work for th dee,d, and other characteristics of the last daya declaring that all these earlier prophe cies were about to be fulfilled. In 1SJ2 a revelation was received by Joseph Smith definitely foretelling the Civil war in this country, and speci fying the defection of the State of 8outh Carolina aa the beginning. This pretentious prediction followed : "The days will eerae that war will be soared oat upon all aatioas." and that by bloodshed, famine, plagues, as well as by earthquakes and other destructive natural agencies, the Inhabitants of the earth would be brought into mourn ing and humility.

Al bert Moore, L. H. Pettlt, and other prom inent breeders In Australia, are getting the fowls. Moore and Pettit have se cured stock here for several years back and are now advertising in Australia the Oregon Agricultural college stock for sale. One of these breeders entered a pen of O. A. C. stock In a contest in Australia and secured a record of more than 200 eggs per hen. The pen con tained 10 hens. The purpose In sending the stock to Australia as well as to some other for eign countries is to try it out under varying climatic and other environ mental conditions. The experiments have shown that the O. A. C. stock lays ad well in Australia and in various sec tions of the United States, as in it's home in Western Oregon. Four shipments of White Leghorns and Barred Bocks to Hawaii were made on the same steamer, one of them going to the government station.
