Prof W. H. Peters. University of Minnesota, told North Dagota Ag ricultural college extension workers it a subject matter school at the agri cultural college. None but the most sxperlenced and skillful breeders, with animals having the most exceptional qualities, should practice it. Inbreeding is the breeding of ani mals closely related to each other by blood ties. It has been used1 by early successful breeders of various live stock breeds, and served to fix the type which has become the standard for which present day breeders are striving, Prof. Peters said. The practice of inbreeding is increas ing among present day livestock breed ers, Prof, refers said, until it has be come a question as to lio\v soon the in jurious effects of inbreeding will be some apparent in some of the famous herds and1 flocks. The three most ap parent injurious effects are reduced fertility, reduced size, and reduced vitality. All these effects appeared in the animals ©f many of the early Breeders who practiced inbreeding to Ion great a degree. Line breeding, a modified form of inbreeding in which animals not so L-losely related are used for parent stock, is being used by some breeders with excellent results. Some of the most famous livestock families, how ever, are produced by niche breeding, in which animals of two different fam ilies are bred and produce offspring which possess the best qualities of both families and is an improvement upon the family of either parent. Finding families that respond well to niche breeding is a difficult task, and usually makes a fortune for the breeder lucky enough to find it. Selection is the first word in live stock breeding, Prof. Peters said. Livestock standards are built up only ,:).v selection of the animals to be bred und as soon as the breeder gets away from the practice of selection, lie is ost as far as improvement is con cerned. Utility is the second-work in breed fing. If any characteristics of an ani ual has no useful value, it will disnp- :e.ar, as utility, and not fashion, is tlie standard by which the characteristics mist he judged. The improvement or deterioration of livestock is due to the operation of the aws ol' heredity and of variation, both i.f which must be considered by the ireeder. Heredity tends to produce 1 animals that resemble the pnrent, irhlle the law of variation tends to produce animals whose characteristics vary from that of.the parent. The rea son inbreeding serves to fix the type, that animals of the same family dif fer less in characteristics, and there is smaller range, consequently, for the aws of variation to operate when in breeding is practiced. The success of the niche breeding also depends upon the law of varia :ion. In the successful examples of his practice, the characteristics of the families fitted together in such a way that the operation of the laws of var ation and of heredity consistently pro duced animals superior to the parents. LIVE TOPICS IN A LINE Method will teucli jou to win time, tioetlie. Organization is its necessary in the I ionic as in the office or shop. When work is well planned it is half done. It's not too early to get garden and nursery catalogs for the planning of I next year's fruit and' garden crops.

They are always ready when wanted and oat of the way when not wanted.

POINTED mm Prepared Under Direction of North Dakota Agricultural College GRA0E AND STANDARDIZE ALL PRODUCTS AT SOURCE The simplest and cheapest place to grade and standardize farm products Is not in the terminal market, but on the farm, according to Dr. John Lee Cout ter, president of the Agricultural col lege. Not only is it more economical but it increases the value of the pro duct, and failure to do it loses the farmer more money than any other one point in the present system of marketing. The market demands a product of one size, kind and degree of sound ness, and pays the top prices only for such a product, Dr. Coulter says. It penalizes the product that is not of one size, kind and degree of soundness and practically all farm products are in this ungraded condition if they are offered for sale just as they are grown on the farm. "If the farmer's boy were to candle the eggs before they are sent to mar ket, it would save transportation charges, and the dollar-an-hour laboi that is used to candle them at the terminal market," Dr. Coulter says. "The farmer lias to stand the candling cost, as well as the transportation cost on the rejected ejif-'s." linshels of dirt are hauled to the railroad with the potatoes and shipped to the market at the fanner's expense, Lr. Coulter says. Cut, bruised and otherwise injured potatoes are also shipped, at a great loss to the shipper. One-lentil of the weight of wheat is foul seed, a loss to the farmer that would pay interest on the entire mort gage and banking indebtedness of the state and create a sinking fund that would pay it off in a few years. De vices should he used that will clean the wheat on the farm, instead of at the terminals, where in doing the work there is used high priced labor, ex pensive building sites and other things that add to the loss the farmer already has sustained in pnylng the freight and selling chargers on the foul seed. Standardizing the farm product is the point in the present method of handling farm" products where the farmer can make the greatest increase in the price lie wijl get for his pro duct, Dr. Coulter says. TRIED RECIPES FOB HOME MEAT CANNING With the present low price for beef cuttle, many fanners are slaughtering their steers for home consumption. Beef may lie canned and kept for use when meat prices rise next summer. Moat canning should not be attempt ed' by one who has not had some ex perience with canning fruits or vege tables, iis it requires careful handling. Directions follow: Fresh Beef. Obtain fresh beef, cut into conven ient pieces for handling (about three fourths pound in weight), and roast or hoi I slowly tor one-luilf hour. Cut into small pieces, remove gristle, bone, and excessive fat, and pack directly into hot glass jars till with gravy from the roasting pan or pot liquid concentrated to one-half its volume put rubber and cap into position, not tight.
