Hone Barn
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
, In the Bummer of 1910 the depart
ment of agriculture purchased a farm
of 475 acres at Ueltavlllc, Maryland,
which is about twelve miles from tho
city of Washington, to bo used for
experimental work in animal breeding
and feeding, and related subjects.
About 190 acres of this are devoted
to dairy Interests, and tho remainder
(of which nbout 95 acres are timber
land) to other branches of animal hus
bandry. On this farm many problems of
economic Importance to the public,
and particularly to tho agricultural
public, are given much attention. Tho
farm work s dono largely by mares,
some of which aro purebred Percher
ons, and tho other grades. These
mares are bred to a Percheron Btal
Hon, and therefore not only earn their
living by tho farm work they do, but
In addition produce foals. In the sum
mer of 1913 the imported Percheron
stallion Isolant C509C (78859) was pur
chased by the department. Ho is a
Common Doe and Her Kid, Sired by
Toggenberg Buck.
large, black stallion, compact and well
muscled, standing 17 hands In height
and weighing moro than a ton.
During tho fall of 1912, 20 .weanling
horso foals and 20 woaftling mulo foals
were purchased for the purpose of de
termining tho comparative costs of
raising these under farm conditions
from tho timo of weaning until they
are old 'enough for work purposes. A
careful record Is being kept of all
costs, including that of breaking, and
full credit will bo given to tho animals
for the amount of work dono by them.
It is expected that tho test will bo
closed in 1916, when all of tho ani
mals will bo old enough for work pur
poses. Thero Is on the farm a flock of tho
Barbados woolless sheop. These sheep
aro very proline, commonly having
threo and occasionally four lambs at

time of tho year. 'Barbados ewes are
being graded up by the use of pure
bred Southdown rams and selections
aro determined mainly by the prolltl
cacy and frequency of lambing, with a
view to producing good mutton confor
mation with ability to breed early for
winter lambs. Tho Darbados have
also been crossed with Merinos. The
great difference in the fleeces and
breeding habits of tho Barbados and
tho Southdown and Merino yields very
ralvnble material In tho croBsbrcds
ai4 their offspring for studying tho
manner of inheritance of wool and
breeding characteristics.
Another industry attracting consid
erable attention Is that of tho produc
tion of Persian lamb skins, which aro
tho product of the young of tho Kara
kulo or Arbl sheep which aro natlvo
to Russian Turkestan. Tho Industry
In this country is in Its Infancy and
there is great need of moro Informa
tion regarding It. Tho department In
its work at tho farm Is crossing a
Karakulo ram on Cotswold, Leicester,
Cheviot nnd Lincoln ewes, and has
also mada crosses on Barbados ewes,

ablo tho skliiB from such crosses will
be in this country.
In connection with the two experi
ments mentioned, about 100 head of
ewes' aro kept. A roomy and conve
niently arranged bam for housing
sheep and gouts has JuBt been com
pleted and will render it possible to
test methods of winter feeding of "hot
house" lambs and breeding ewes. Dur
ing Btimmer months tho sheep aro car
ried upon a succession of forngo crops
with a view to determining tho best
plans of planting and grazing forago
crops In eastern states.
For tho past few years thero has
been great interest in the milch goat,
which lias' often been hailed as the
poor man's cow. Today, however,
goats In this country which aro good
milkers sell for as much as tho aver
age dairy cow. On the continent of
Europo, particularly Switzerland,
breeds of goats which are heavy milk
ers havo been developed, but on ac
count of the prevalence of animal di
seases in continental Europe their im
portation Is prohibited. In order to de
termine the value of tho milch goat
blood in crossing on our native stock,
a flock of common docs was obtained,
and theso were bred to Saanen and
Toggenburg bucks. Milk records were
kept of the native docs, and such rec
ords will bo kept of the half-bred does,
in order to obtain a comparison.
A herd of hogs is maintained for
tho purpose of studying breeding and
feeding problems. A modern, sanitary
houso has been built, and equipped
for conducting this work. There aro
also a number of small portable- houses
with sufficient space for a sow and Ut
ter or two or three mature pigs.
At the farm houso there is also a
laboratqry for tho study of breeding
questions. Thero uro usually about
1,000 guinea pigs on hand, represent
ing 30 families. The effects of in
breeding aro being btudied ns tho re
sults from such investigations with
guinea pigs throw light upon princi
ples that oporato In larger animals.
Results that suggest the existenco
of laws of inheritance In theso small
animals can bo tested out on larger
animals. l!y using guinea pigs a great
saving in time Is effected, it is possi
ble to securo threo generations in a
year, thus showing tho effects of any
special mothod of breeding in a frac
tion of tho timo needed with sheep or
cattle and at much smaller expense.
Tho poultry on tho farm Is located

ta and on the edge of a beautiful oak
grove which furnishes Ideal shado and
range for tho fowls, and especially
for tho young chickens. Tho equip
ment consists of ono long breeding
house, 18 by 108 foot, attached to a
feed house containing an ofllco and
laboratory, tho basement of which 1b
fitted up as an Jncubator cellar. Most
of tho poultry houses aro of tho colony
type, and aro built on runners bo that
they may easily bo moved onto fresh
ground. Tho front of the long house
contains lurgo muslin curtains for ven
tilation and glass doors for light when
tho curtains are closed. Lamp Incu
bators and small outdoor brooders are
used In hatching and rearing tho
stock, whilo many of tho chickens are
reared utyler hens.
The stock consists of selected fowls
of tho following varieties: Barred Ply
mouth Rock, White Wyandotte, Rhode
Island Red, Single Comb Whlto Leg
horn and Buff Orpington, with a fow
Whlto Plymouth Rocks, Buff Leghorns
and Dorkings, Tho foundation stock
was secured from Bonio of tho best
poultry breeders In this country, and
is being kept up to a high standard of
excellonco, both, from exhibition and
utility standpoints.

Marriageable Agei.
So-called marriageable ages vary
very widely In different countries. In
Austria a "man" and "womnn" aro
supposed to bo capable of marrying
and conducting a homo of their own
from tho age of 14. In Germany tho
ago must bo at least 18 years. In
Franco tho man must bo 18 and tho
woman 14, and In Belgium tho same.
In Spain tho husband must havo
passed his fourteenth year, and tho
woman hor twolfth. In Hungary, for
Roman Catholics, tho mah must bo
14 ycarB and tho woman 12; for Prot
estants tho man must bo 18 and tho
woman 15. In Greece the man must
bo nt least 14 summers and tho wo
man 12. In Portugal a boy of 14 1b
considered marriageable and a wo
man of 12. In Russia and Saxony a
youth must refrain from matrimony
till he is 18 years and the woman
until sho is 1C,
