states. As long as there IS a large per cent
age of such animals of an inferior quality, SD
long will it be in order to keep yiIis subject
prominently before the people. Line upon
line and precept / ~on precept are needed TO
arouse the farming tarest to its importance.
1t can be laid down as primary principle
that the best is the cheapest, and following
this, it is certain that man may just as we'll
have good stock as that of poor quality. The
land that will keep ten Or fifteen poor animals
will maintain an equal number of good ones
No more labor is required to care for the one
than the other, if either one is cared for as it
! should be, and the annual profit is largely
greater from the sale of the better than the
poorer animals. The former mature earlier,
weigh more, and give larger amount of
prime meat than the latter, while its quality
is vastly higher. These things, when it comes
to sending beast to market, tell their own
! story; and the farmer thus finds that good
stock bring more plethoric pocketbooks and
fatter bank accounts.
The truth is, poor stock is not worth rails
ing 1t is dead loss to keep an animal of
poor quality on the farm when it can be re-
placed with good one, and the sum of this
loss is represented by the difference in price
as we have indicated. -
The valuable points and characteristics of
! improved stock have been obtained by years
of care, labor, and management calculated to
secure such results. Persistent efforts in
selectingthe best and fixing desired characters
have given us breeds of cattle, sheep, and
swine which realize to their owners vastly
more money than common, native, or mongrel
sorts will bring. -.Tl
In the case Of cattle an improved animal
natures about two years before scrub ofthe
same age does under the same treatment
The superiority of the former consists, in the
first place, of its power or propensity to
assimllate and convert food into growth and
beef, sooner than the other can; and when
mature it gives from one-third to one-halt'
more meat. and of a quality which brings
higher price in the market The same thing
holds good, in degree IN sheep or swine. The
digestive oagans of improved animals are
superior to those Of common stock the whole
animal organism is better adapted for quick
and healthy action, the food is more easily
digested and larger portion of it's nutritious
propertits is utilized. From every point of
view from which the subject IS examined the
benefits resulting from keeping good stock are
apparent. The best is the cheapest.
