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?

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-

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

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.
The-word of the txrd. through prooh-
2, .t these latter days. Is voiced in
definite and certain tones.

Two shipments of Barred Plymouth
Rocks were made to Australia recently
by the poultry husbandry department
of the Oregon Agricultural college. 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.
The following paragraph is taken from
a letter to the members of the Oregon
Poultry Producers' association by their
inanager, and Is self-explanatory.
