LINE BREEDING IS FAVORED Common and Desirable Practice Is En couraged by Co-operative Bull Associations. (Prepared, by the United States Depart ment ot Agriculture.) A bull association having a many a five or six breeding blocks should keep and use all it good bulls a long as they are fit for service. Advancing the bull to the next block at the end of two years does not eliminate him; It limply makes It possible to avoid In breeding. Line breeding, on the other aand. Is a common and desirable prac Jce, and the bull association offers ex ceptional opportunities for conducting '.hat kind of breeding. In an ossocla lion composed of breeder! of pure- tired dairy cattle carefully selected dulls produced In one block may be used In other blocks, and tbeirganUa tlou may thus continue indefinitely without purchasing bulls from outside sources If such a plan seems advisa ble. The same practice may be fol lowed when only a few high-class reg istered cows are owned by members of any association. The co-operative bull association, therefore, offers au excellent opportunity for Intelligent, long-continued breeding. Skillful mat ing, when combined with careful se lection of the best animals, makes great improvement possible MANKIND'S DEBT TO THE DOG Possibly Few Realize How Much the "Nobler Animal" Owes to His Faithful Servitor. We hnve been accustomed Intely to think of dogs, as also most oilier things. In terms of war; hut our debt to the doj: dutes hnck to very iniiny centuries before the blsek year of 11)14. (Jogs are our oldest friends of the anluiHl world, and 1t Is believed that since the time man begun to do mesticate them, they have niHile more rapid strides iu Intelligence tliiin we have ourselves. The day may down when we seek to preserve all living thing through al truism, but that day 'is long distant A writer In London Answers observes dogs have survived to the tune of over 170 different species, because they are useful. As shepherds, Scotch collies are cheaper and more effective than, the average human being. Pointers snd setters are used with the gun. Other varieties are employed as pro tectors and comrades; while the er rands of mercy achieved by -St. Bei nards are known to the world. A St Bernard that died a few years ago woo a medal for saving twenty-two lives. ' But when a dog ceases to be of use to as It falls on evil dnys. ' The orig inal bull dog was Invaluable to man in handling cattle. When fencea were Invented the bull dog began to de cline, and the present day bull terrier, used as a pet, marks a phase tnat Is very likely leading toward extinction. RABBIT SKIN FOR LEATHER Possibility That Tanning Process Has Been Discovered That Will Solve Big Problem. . . At present In Annonny, France, an earnest efTort I being made to Intro duce rabbit skin leather In shoe mak ing. Annonay Is to the valley of the Rhone, Just south of Lyons. It was there, about 75 years ago. that a chem ist devised a tanning process In which the hair was removed from the pelt of rabbit without damage to the skin. Previously no one had been able to remove the hair without Injuring the pelt .;- .-.. The chemist had his process tried out for a short time, hut It did not prove to be a commercial success and the rabbit-skin shoe came to be only a memory. Less than ten years ago some Germans got hold of the old chemist' formula and began to manu facture rabbit leather. . At one of the Industrial expositions In Germany In 1009 there was a display pf 230 styles of shoes made of rabbit skins. The exhibition won first prise In the department of footwear. Now the French have taken up the work ot the old chemist of Annonay and are manufacturing shoe out of rabbit pelt. Classified FOB BALK FOR SALE Good steam power plant for saw mill or any pur pose.
