Dereleping 'The Young Dairy Animals
The calf is the fundamental fac-
tor In cattle breeding, Success or
failithe with a herd is dependont,upon
securing a .living calf, lusty with the
Mnerated meritt of its ancestors. The
care and development of the calf are
more important than a knowledge of
pedigree in blending the blood lines.
Not only the increase but the im-
provement of the herd depends upon
the calf, 'If there is net ample pro-
vision made for the reception of the
young,ster.arid the later care and de-
velopment, then no wisdom ,in the
purchase price of the dam, no study,
a( pedigree, no familiarity with breed
history, can save the herd from pass-
ing into oblivion.
' Hundreds of breeders of registered
cattle, who have nuide liberal, invest-
ments in stock and equiprnent, have
failed simply because they had not
the gumption to secure. the services
of good care takers or were unwillingi
themselves to give vigilant watchful-
ness and daily attention to care and
feed. Some neglect to bring semshine
and fresh air to the calves; others
think clean pails and feed boxes too

than the calf can digest; others will
let the calf "rough it." The general

demonstrated that the addition of
protein, such As the albumen of milk
or the proteins of meat helped- out
wonderfully in making the prate ns in

undoubtedly explains the great 'value

with very little suaceas. This habit
is started because of the lack of ani-
mal food, or accidently a hen breaks
an egg in ,getting out of the nest and
thereby establishes the habit. How-
ever, if the hens get plenty of beef
scrlips or sour milk and are kept busy
during the day, they are not as likely
to begin such a habit.
Very often there is only a hen or
two in the flock which do this de-
structive work and by carefully
watching one can pick them out and
get rid of them. •
Pedigreed Seed.
When t eed grain is advertised ai
pedigreed seed, it should mean two
things; fleet, that therecord of that
particular strain is known from its
origin; second, that it is rich in the
qualities that make it supenior to
other selecCons of the same sort,
In order that the term pedigreed
may have the propersignificance to
those who wieli to purchase, seed
grain of high quality, the following
outline es given of the eseential me-
thods in the primary selection work
of pedigreed varieties or steahis of
grain. ,Before seed grain can be
termed pedigmed it must be de-
scended 'horn a eingle plant; . that
parbieuber plant must have been a
sup'erior plant to others of its kind
end indit haVe had! the ability to
transmit the high yield and the de-
sirable characters for which it has
been eelected. This seem -Malty can
only be determined by careful obser-
valet at the time of the first selec-
tion and by a careful twit under uni-
form conditionwith the par/ nt or
other standard varieties. Also, this
selected strain must be watched close-
ly. during the multiplication period
fee thgeappearance of false heads or
the brealcing up of the variety. Tide

tion of pedigreed seed and unless ab
