AMERICAN BnrEpISo.

The notion that imported breeding
stock Is better than that bred on
American soil and under American
system of management was almost
universally held less than quarter Of
a century ago. With many the single
word imported" was all the recon-
mendation required to effect a sale OF
| an animal. Even now there are mony
who are Influenced 10 very coDsid-
cradle degree by the magic word.
Yet there IL not a single reason for the
belief that American.bred stock
IL not fully as good, with
possibly the exception OF half-dozen
.amous animals, as any in existence
abroad. As to Jersey cattle this is be.
,ming generally understood, and
C ire ut long prices animals from the
recommend them than tile bare fact
that they were bred abroad. The effort
Il, instead, to secure these animals
which have won for themselves a good
reputation by doing something of prac-
tical value. The butter test has done
more than has anything else to bring
people to their senses In this matter.
In the beef breeds there are, 1t Is adj
mitted, as good animals In this coun-
try as are to be found. 1t il not
claimed that there is enough OF the
hest cla,s to satisfy the demand; prob
ably thore will never be found enough
Of th0t kind in the world to satisfy the
demand at what farmers generally will
call moderate figures. But there are
plenty to improve the general stock of
the country, and these can be bought
ut prices so low that they leave no
chance of loss. There is no longer
necessity Of any speculative element
l., the purchasing of breeding stock of
the established 'beef breeds.
The experience of the past fifty years
shows conclusively that the purchase
of cattle of pure breeding is among the
safest and most profitable of farming
Investments. This has been the case
when prices have been high. and
when fashionable strains of blood,
having much booming but little prac-
ticable value seduced breeders into
paying high figures for paper" cattle;
there can then, be scarcely chance
of loss when sires of good blood can be
bought, as they can now, for prices
little higher than they would bring
in the market for beeves. G. II.
