Ames, Jan. 30.-The experiment sta
ton at Ames has inaugurated most
important investigation along the line
of cattle feeding and breeding, which
will no doubt attract worldwide atten-
ton. Fifty head of pure bred and high
grade Galloway heifers have been pur-
chased and are now at the experiment
station being bred to the Shorthorn
bulls Scotland's Crown and Doctor
White. Scotlands Crown is a roam
Shorthorn imported by the college
three years ago, and is now conceded
to be one of the best Shorthorn sires In
America. Doctor White is a pure white
Shorthorn purchased by the expert
ment station at the recent exposition in
Chicago This bull has been a prize
winner at number of the leading live
stock shows during the past year.
few Shorthorn heifers are also being
purchased to be bred to Galloways.
The method of breeding is designed
to produce steers of the famous blue
gray type and quality which has been
so popular in the leading markets and
at fat stock shows of Great Britain. 1t
is conceded that this cross produces
cattle that have no superiors for the
block and for profitable feeding. The
cattle produced in this way mature
early and are of good form and make a
high percentage of edible beef of an
exceptionally fine grain and flavor,
with an even distribution OF fat.
Forty-seven head of these heifers
may now be seen at the experiment
station at Ames, and they are an at
tractive lot Ten of the pure breds

ton to the breeding feature of the eX-
pertinent, careful record of the cost
of production will be kept from birth
until the cattle are finished for the
market and the various methods of
feeding will be tested. Some of the
cattle produced by this experiment will |
be retained for further investigation In |
breeding and feeding.
The experiment will be one of the |
most extensive ever conducted and it I
will be of intense interest and value to
the cattle producing industry of this

Yards and Transit Company, of Chica-
go, are furnishing the means to carry
