improved breeds at the present
time.
The Aberdeen Angus, on the
other hand, has not been tried for
that purpose so extensively as Ell
Their of the other breeds. Natur-
ally, they are more like the Short
horn and give better results on
arabic lands and good pastures.
For stall feeding purposes, they
are probably unexcelled, taking
on flesh and fat more rapidly and
uniformly than any of the other
breeds, and being short in the leg,
compact in conformation and cy-
lindrical in appearance, with jet
black coat, they finish up in the
most superb form when placed on
''forced feeding"
The Galloway, on the other
hand, is well adapted for range
purposes. 1t does well on the
Northwestern prairies where the
winter is particularly trying. 1t
has long, shaggy, curly over
coat, with a thick, fine undercoat,
enabling it to stand the cold wealth
err with comparative impunity.
The Sussex are more of the type
of the Shorthorn and Aberdeen
Angus and will give their best re-
suits when placed under a similar
environment.
In the diversified country Of the
Appalachian region the animals
best adapted for range purposes
will be the grade Shorthorns,
Hereford and Galloway. Those
best adapted for maintenance on
the rich valley lands or the excel
lent pastures that prevail over
wide areas of this section or for
winter feeding on surplus corn
and cotton products of the rich
river bottoms are the Shorthorn,
Angus and Sussex. Southern Ag-
