poor animals for breeding purposes
because he thinks he has not the
Uime to hunt up and select better
ones, The females need culling.
Those sold must be replaced by
others which will only be profitable
when selected with care. The sire
also must be of the best or profitable
results will not follow. Ordinary
work about the farm and barn often
prevents a trip to some locality where
better stock can he procured. How
much better would 1t be to hire a
man to look after the home affairs

important item, If S15 colt dies
