THE SCIENCE OF BREEDING. 
If you wanted a purebred animal to head 
your herd or flock, how would you pick him 
out and make sure of him? This question 
is of great importance to many farmers, 
who would like to use purebred animals, 
yet hesitate because they are not sure. 
Would you take the breeder's word for It, 
and leave the selection to him, or what- 
would you do to make sure that the animal 
you bought would fit your herd? 
There are many things in this world 
that are not sure, and blood combina¬ 
tions in the animal kingdom are among 
them. The successful breeders, or at 
least the kind that approach anywhere 
near to “sure,” are born, not made. 
Their followers can only watch and 
guess and try. The herdsman asks two 
questions, “What have I got?” and 
“What do I want?” If the gap is wide 
between the two, the inexperienced and 
impatient undertakes to make it in one 
jump and lands in nowhere. The ex¬ 
perienced pushes out gradually in the 
desired direction, keeping a firm hold on 
the solid ground of his present condi¬ 
tion. 
Inbreeding? Not exactly, for that 
would not be pushing out at all, but he 
keeps close to inbreeding. That is, he 
finds the salient prepotent qualities of 
his females and then picks a male in 
sympathy with those qualities that will 
strengthen or further develop them, 
rather than a male out of touch with 
their best points for the sake of bring¬ 
ing up their weak ones. Let the weak 
points deteriorate or slough off if neces¬ 
sary in strengthening the good ones, 
even if these same weak points are good 
in themselves and strong as developed 
in some other herd or flock. While it 
is granted that the strengthening of the 
weak places is desirable, vet if more 
valuable characteristics already pos¬ 
sessed are weakened or sacrificed to do 
it he is losing in one place as fast as or 
faster than he is gaining in another. It 
may be objected that such a course 
promises a lop-sided ill-balanced ani¬ 
mal. This may be true in unpractised 
hands. 
“But,” is asked, “if he has a Jersey 
herd of rich but small milkers, shall he 
not try to increase the quantity by using 
a sire with a better quantity record back 
of him?” By the above reasoning he is 
only to strive for still richer milk. 
Increased flow should be aimed at, but 
not by the employment of a two per 
cent Holstein as big as a meeting¬ 
house and constitutionally out of all 
touch. A sympathetic Jersey or Guern¬ 
sey of more liberal milking strain 
should be used. Constitutional sympathy 
is necessar}’- to insure progressive im¬ 
provement and to avoid discouraging 
relapses caused by the cropping out of 
unassimilable characteristics. Take for 
instance the Jersey and the Holstein in 
cattle. Each is an unexcelled dairy 
breed, yet certain adverse characteristics 
predominate in each, and threaten all 
sorts of catastrophes and ruination of 
the good points of the other if they are 
coupled together, therefore destroying 
any stable foundations for the future 
upbuilding of a herd. My point is then, 
reliable upbuilding of a herd or flock 
calls for sympathetic combinations of 
blood combined with liberal care. The 
inexperienced breeder should trust the 
breeder of experience, after explaining 
what he has got and what he wants, 
presupposing that the experienced 
breeder has a good pedigree himself, 
and is entitled to advanced registry in 
such of the ten commandments as have 
a bearing upon the question at issue.

Sheep in Cemeteries.— I was much 
interested in your articles on rural 
cemeteries last Summer, particularly as 
last Spring this neighborhood put in 
order an old one known as the Hall 
Cemetery, which was so long neglected 
that many locust trees were cut for 
posts on the premises. After fencing 
with woven wire we went one step 
further towards making the work per¬ 
manent by putting on a small flock of 
sheep to kill the sprouts that would be 
sure to grow, and to keep the grass and 
weeds down: they did their work well, 
and I wish to recommend the plan to 
those rural cemetery associations that 
cannot afford more expensive care.

A Small Churning. —In answer to In¬ 
quiries about churning a small amount of 
cream, we use a Mason two-quart fruit can, 
shaking it sharply up and down; can set 
it in cold or warm water to get right 
temperature. We have churned as much as 
a pound or as little as one-quarter pound 
at a time. It is very handy while cow is 
drying up. mrs. r. v. Rogers.
