Good Cattle on Small Farms.

The question whether small farm
ers can aft 'rd to keep thoroughbred
stock. is being discussed in the Ma
ttondi Line Stock journal. A "dro-
yer" OF The Uni0n Stock Yards, Chi
cago, in a communication to that
paper, gives it as bis opinion that
they can aft 'rd to keep only good
stock. He does not advise such PEG
pie to buy thoroughbred cows and
attempt TO raise full-bloOds for beef ;
but to get a good Short-horn bull,
and the beet native COWS they can
obtain. The farmer can make stee r.
of the bull calves, and sell them for
beef, and the hest of the females be
can reserve for breeding purposes
and as they come of sufficient age,
be can work off the old cows TO
make room for the grade heifers an d
their female calves he can raise to
take their places. and so on, always
using a thoroughbred bull, and fe
males as near thoroughbred as he
can get them and in few years be
will have a herd of cows which will
bring him an annual crop of calves
which tor beef purposes will possess
all the exceIlencies of the thorough
bred. He says
