hest and only way" says an exchange,
for small farmers Of limited means to
improve their stock to advantage is to
purchase pure-bred male. Whether it

male should pay for himself in very
short time. A good Jersey or short
horn bull, herd registered, and well
adapted to the wants OF an ordinary far
mer, good for all practical purposes, can

services in neighborhood where pure
bred males are scarce would, in all prob

surrounding farmers, who would DE

use-say from 50 to S. for each COW. If
the bull is in good condition and has the
age upon him he could be expected to
serve from forty to sixty or more cows In

raise common stock of either hogs, sheep
or cattle. A good milk or butter COW =

and very seldom pays to keep. This the

rapidly shed and the permanent teeth
are coming up. To suppose that horse
suffers nothing in cutting his teeth is a
great mistake, as IL SHOWN 10y tue IT.
