Pure Bred Cattle in Iowa.

Iowa not only has the reputation Of
being the greatest agricultural State
in the Union, but that it leads as well
in the production of fine cattle. In the
breeding Of shcrthOrns il stands first.
and the sale of these cattle clearly
shows that the business . on good
paying basis. The average of the sales
of Iowa shorthorns the last year has
been from 5000 to S725 a head. with the
majority OF sales ranging from $500
TO $500 head. The breeders Of Here
ford cattle in Iowa enjoy a good
healthy trade in their fayorites, breed
ing about one-tenth of all the Hereford
cattle in the United States, and repre-
scented by over three hundred breeders.
two hundred of whom are members of
the association. Thus Iowa stands
fourth in the production and sale Of
Hereford cattle, and the prices obtained
at the public sales averaged from $500
ten times as nsny shoFthorns in the
United States, and taree times as many
Herefords as Aberdeen-Angus. vet the
farmers and breeders Of Iowa are
reaching out for the latter kind, and
Iowa stands first in the breeding Of
Angus cattle. having nearly three hun
bred breeders raising one-third of all
the Angus cattle in the United States,
showing a growth and increase within
the State of 500 per cent in the last ten
