' This encouraging tendency toward more rapid improvement of •live stock has been brought about by the United States Department of Agriculture In the “Better Sires—Better Live Stock” campaign: Scrubs Disappear. * Of a total of more than 300,000 fe male animals listed by farmers who have agreed to keep nothing but pure bred sires, more than 35 per cent are of pure breeding. On these farms scrubs have practically disappeared. For the larger animals tfie reports show that only 2.4 per cent of the fe males are scrubs, and, of course, the males are of pure blood, as that Is the bajiis on which the farms are listed, i The poultry flocks owned by these fanners are particularly well bred, only 1.3 per cent of the female birds being listed as scrubs. More than 08 per rent of a total of dlO.OUO birds are entered, on the list us standard bred. Among the herds of swine there are eery few sc mb sows—only 1.1 per cent.
