The New York Breeders Association 
At the meeting of the New York State 
Breeders’ Association held in Syracuse in 
December there was considerable discus¬ 
sion on several important matters. The 
president, Calvin J. Huson, stated that 
the present depressed times in stock rais¬ 
ing are the best for the introduction of a 
few purebred animals into the herd in 
any line. A moving picture film loaned 
by the Division of Farms and Markets, 
showing how foods are handled after 
reaching New York and taken to the con¬ 
sumer, was of particular interest. 
Prof. Grams is the new sheep specialist 
of the college at Cornell. The professor 
showed the decline of sheep keeping in 
this State, until now we have only about 
10 per cent of the number that were once 
kept. He thinks that we may see some 
revival of the sheep industry here, hut 
says that it is lik'ely to be with small 
flocks. 
Hog cholera is the most destructive dis¬ 
ease of hogs that is known, but its dan¬ 
gers are largely in the great numbers kept 
together. It is preventable by the use of 
serum properly administered. Infectious 
diseases frequently result in pneumonia 
and prove fatal. Safety in the hog busi¬ 
ness is in cleanliness and caution and suf¬ 
ficient pasturage and avoidance of crowd¬ 
ing. This was discussed by Dr. R. R. 
Birch. 
We heard a debate to a small extent as 
to the relative advantages of motor trucks 
and horses. It may be doubted whether 
either side convinced the other. To the 
listener it seemed as though the horseman 
had the best of the argument. It is by no 
means certain that horses may not be 
needed yet in excess of the supply. 
Accredited herds of cattle for New 
York State are to be desired. It was 
thought that the question is of so much 
importance that effort should he made to 
secure the continuance of the joint Fed¬ 
eral and State aid in eradicating the dis¬ 
ease of tuberculosis from our herds. Dr. 
Moore, however, cautioned against pro¬ 
miscuous use of tuberculin by those not 
particularly adapted to making conclu¬ 
sions from reactions. 
M. C. Burritt is a consistent and ar¬ 
dent advocate of the Farm Bureaus. They 
are for definite service, particularly in 
promoting organization. They are not 
commercial agencies, and that any at¬ 
tempt to make them such might prove 
their unmaking seemed to be the line of 
thought. Support by State and national 
aid as well as county support is proper 
and for the good of organization as well 
as for agriculture. He recounted several 
lines in which bureaus have been impor¬ 
tant factors for advancement. When he 
called attention to the work of the State 
and national federations he hit a live, pop¬ 
ular issue. 
That there is so great a discrepancy 
between the wool grower and the man 
who sells the suit of clothes was called to 
the attention of the members by Mr. 
Moody of the Sheep Growers’ Association. 
In addition to this he says that 25 per 
cent of the weight of cloth is foreign 
stuff. This is an average; much is large¬ 
ly shoddy, while an occasional piece may 
be very good. In any event it is desir¬ 
able that the amount of substitute ma¬ 
terial should he marked on every yard 
of the cloth, and also on every suit of 
clothes. In addition it would be best to 
have stated the kinds of material used. 
It seems that some substitutes are simply 
a hark of certain trees treated in some 
way. 
An interestiug address was by Mr. 
Teall, manager of the local milk plant. 
This is a co-operative association, the 
farmers League members, but financed 
and managed locally. It is a fully equip¬ 
ped plant, and is built of brick and ce¬ 
ment, with a steel frame. The money 
raised for it amounts to $400,000. It is 
capable of handling 200.000 lbs. of milk. 
It was not intended to retail milk, but to 
handle and sell to the peddlers. For some 
reason these men would not buy of the 
co-operative, and so the association start¬ 
ed wagons and worked up a trade. There 
were difficulties to overcome, but before 
they proceeded far the dealers began to 
come and buy milk. They were given 
back their customers, and assisted to 
bring their routes down to a more- local 
trade, thus saving distance. H. n. L. 
Granulated Bone to Replace Meat Scrap 
Is dry granulated bone as good as meat 
scraps for feeding poultry? Is this a 
good way to feed it: One quart grit, one 
quart oyster shell, one pint bone? Will 
they get enough bone this way, and will 
they scratch out the grit and shell for the 
bone? mbs. t. c. 
Ohio. 
Granulated bone alone would not be as 
good as meat scrap for poultry, since the 
latter contains meat as well as bone, and 
would, of course, have a much higher food 
value. Grit and shell are best fed alone 
in hoppers or boxes from which the fowls 
can help themselves at will. They are 
not exactly foods, though the shells con¬ 
tain lime that is needed in the making of 
eggs. If given opportunity, the fowls will 
consume as much of the grit and crushed 
oyster shells as they need, and other foods 
should not be mixed with these substances. 
Meat scrap is best fed with the mash, be¬ 
ing mixed with it in the proportion of 
about one-fifth part, by weight. M. b. d.
