Tendency to Growth and Accumulation
of Fnt In Farna Animals.
1t is a hindrance to making sound
Roadway when a nan starts out with
improved farm animals Of any kind on
which he has Over-cs;imated the tendon
CIV to growth and accumulation Of fat.
The reason Of it. being a hindrance is,
that a reaction occurs when a man only
partially informed finds the high-bred
beast consumes food rs rapidly and in
~ large quantities rs the scrub. There
il in the minds of many men q serious
misrepresentation as b high-bred farm
animals requiring very little food in
proportion to their weight. rs compared
TO the amount ordinarily consumed by
improved beasts OF the same class or
race. To make great and rapid growth
on light feed is a physical imposs billy
with any qua iruped living. just rs it IS
to grow a hundred bushels of corn on
an acre OF light soil. When an i'm
proved sort of seed is sought for. it is
not with the expectation of obtaining
something that will give an abundant
yield of very large grains. when pla ted

What is wanted is q better product. and
in the case Of grain there is M expec,a-
ton of n liberal yic.d un'e there is
plenty OF plant food within reach of the
roots of the grain-bearing plant. and to
this mere feeding there must be added
suitable care ana ,illage. To expect
mors than this is to base expectations
upon calculations that are altogether
erroneous. and disappointment will fol-
low.
1t is better TO fortify against all
liability tn disappointment by adopting
the hOmely proposition. that something
can not be got from 10th ng. The

and fat. of course. vars greatly in differ

and the contrast in this regard between

sull more pronounced; ya ii is not cor
rect practice to count unduly upon any
grade II improvement of food below a
minimum. And clearly a maximum
OF growth can not be expected from n

Ing beaS.. For the dearest physiological
reasons. the scrub beast will stand scant
feed with less shrinkaga than the high
bred discriminating animal; first among

thereis less to shrink. The scrub beast
