Ioioa Stale College Copyrlht. 1909. by American Press Association 'HP", TIE science of breeding Is very li complicated, but there are J some points that should be un derstood and followed by er ery farmer. No matter how well stock mny be fed nnd cared for, if they do not have the Inherited enpneity to transform their feed economically Into milk or beef or power they will al ways be "scrubs." On the other hand, poor feeding and enre niuy make a scrub out of an animal which has the Inherited ability to develop Into some thing mii'.li better. To attain the best result" breeding, feeding and Intelli gent cure must go hand In hand. Pure bred stock not only have the umnty to make much more profitable use of the focd given them, but they also add greatly to the appearance of the place. A pasture dotted with well bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep marks the owner . aa a progressive farmer. There Is a groat deal more pleasure, too. In caring for good stock than there is In vainly trying to gel unprofitable animals Into market con dition. The first thing to consider in start ing In with pure bred stock Is what riO. MIX THB WAT A FAT BEEP ANIMAL IS COT t)P. Not the high prices- of the back and luuvj breed to select. Do not make a hasty choice, for nothing will ruin 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 good points, and the mat ter of selection Is more a question of Individual preference than anything else. In begtnning 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 up 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 mntn this lnw 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. Ills ancestors for generations have been animals of the same type ns 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 his great prepotency a puse 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 tics the 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 ore pure bred also there Is less chance of the tilvr i resembling some Inferior ancestor nu their mother's side, and Improvement will be more rapid oud certain. The cost of an entire herd tf pure breds is very great, however, and profits will com more 'Surely by the grading up plan. After this lias 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 oinda by buying a cow and calf or a few yearling heifers. As the offspring Of these Increase (lie umnber of pure breds In the herd tho grades can grad ually be disposed of until an entire put bred herd finally results. In the selection of a sire to begin gradlug up herd It 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 a beef bull are constitution, form, quality and thick fleshing. Of these coustltuttoa la probably the most Important, as a bull that Is stroug lu this point will have the ability to aire a larga num ber of rugged, healthy calves. Con stitution la Indicated by a deep, wlds chest; large "barrel." glrlng plenty of room for the dlgeatlv organs; good slxed nostrils and a large, clear eye, A point that must go with constitution tf the best results ar to be obtained Is prepotency. I'rvpotency means the ability of a aire to reproduce his good points In his offspring, it is ludlcated by a heavy crest and a masculine look lug bead. A bull that baa a fine, fem tnlue appearing head mill not be at all certain of producing good calvas, area though he ts a good Individual him, elf. Constitution and prepotency are of Agriculture little account, however, unlr" tli" bull has the proper forn. The 1 ..-.! and hind quarters at n beef ! are the parts tlnit produce th, priced meat. Oreat width all the back, especially over l he t good spring of rib. plenty of !,i ' and short legs ure points that Rlxm be looked for. Long legged bull m usually narrow and rnugy. The I are of little value us meat, so tii? shorter they are the better. Quality Is shown by fineness of hair, pliability of hide and not too much coarseness of shoulder, head and bono. An animal with good qoal Ity will furnish a better grade of ment. and there will be less waste In killing. Thickness of flesh is one of the most Important points to look for. By this Is meant not fat. but the nat ural covering of lean meat. Fat can be put on during the feeding period, but lean meat cannot. An animal that Is thickly muscled nt the begin ning of the feeding period will fur nish a carcass that will be 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 tho essential ones to look for In the selection of u ram or boar. Strong constitution, wide, deep, blocky form, fine quality and thick fleshing are just as impor tant In those animals as In the bull. . Of course lt will be 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 nre 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 characterise beef nntmals. Low setn.s r.:d extra width of back are nut so essential. Constitution, ns shown by a deep chest, wide on the bottom and a roomy barrel, is Important. A clean head, smooth shoulder, lino limbs and pliable skin show the quality that Is so necessary lu n dairy nuininl. The most Important point Is prepotency. A strong chest, masculine head and large rudimentary teats are all Indi cations of this. The best way to fore cast a dairy bull's prepotency, how ever, Is to look up tho 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 to look for In draft horses, which nre the most profitable kind to raise on the farm, are power and endurance. Pow er is indicated by bIzo, compactness and heavy muscling, especially in the hind quarters. Eudurauce is shown by a strong constitution and One qual ity, especially of limbs. Strict observance of these points in tho 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 tlaie for. If you put the chief stress upon the Individuality of the animal mid file the pedigree away in a drawer where it can be referred to when nec essary you will not go far wrong. When you have found an aiSmal of the desired type do not hesitate too riO. XXX A TYPICAL IBAFT HOllSB. long over the price. A hundred and fifty dollars may look like a big price to pay for n bull, but anjncrease of $2 a head In the value of the cult crop will pay for him In two or three years, III tusuy cases you may be uble to Jolu with two or three of your near est uelghbora lu the purchase of a bull, thus not only saving moityy, but also obtaining a better animal than you would be able to secure otherwise. This applies with still more force to the purchase of a stallion. In many communities It Is Impossible to secura the services of a first class bors of my breed. In such a case If fifteen or twenty farmers will agrceupon a breed and subscribe $100 each a horse raa b procured that will almost pay for himself In the Inci eased value of his first crop of colts. iff ' ' RFSTORATION TO ENTRY OF LANDS IN National Forest.
