ype, we will briefly examine the

type, we will briefly examine the
breed.
Shorthorns are favorites. AS
previously mentioned, this breed
was the first to be pedigreed in
England, and they are yet the fav-
orites there, for they not only make
beef for Smithheld market, but
outnumber Jersies in English
diaries.
Likewise, they were the first
improved cattle introduced in
America Having been used for
many years on the wild ranges of
the West, the other breeds COM
ing later gained popularity by use
on COWS already widened, refined
and made good mixers, by previ-
Gus infusion of the Shorthorn blood.
They are also the heaviest Of the
beef breeders, mature bulls in show
form often weighing 1900 pounds,
and COWS 1000 pounds. These
weights are extreme, and without
high quality are Objectionable.
Their color is more variable than
any breed-it may be red or white,
or mixture of these. Roam is the
one color never produced, except
by blood of this breed. The horn
is short, curved forward, and often
downward, In the bull a crested
neck, showing great sexual power
and prepotency; backs wide and
long. The headquarters is its spec
ial Characteristic, having the repL-
tation of carrying the best of any
breed, the line of the thigh being
nearly straight from tail head down.
The weak points of Shorthons are
a tendency to long legs and undue
prominence of hip bones. These
weaknesses are overcome by their
fine milking qualities.
The Scotch sort developed by
Crukshank, Mari and Duthie,
which are short-legged and blockY,
with great scale and substance, are
early maturers. The wonderful
adaptability of the breed, and its
value in crossing with every other,
has made it so popular that there
are now 10000 registered Short
horns in the United States.
Herefords. Tn weight they are
about the equal of Shorthorns. The
extreme weights to which Short
horns frequently attain are rare,
but, generally speaking, there is
practically no difference. Here

RING-BONE AND SPAWN.
A Jawhawker Scientist Describe
Symptoms and Treatment.

Since olden times the term ring
bone has been used to Indicate an
enlargement around the coronary
joint. This enlargement is hard,
being a growth of bone, and in
many cases forms complete ring,
hence the name. A ring-bohe has
a tendency to continue growing,
and in rare cases attains the size of
a mans head.
CAUSES. ANY conditions which
favor sprains, such as fast driving
over hard or uneven roads, I'M
equal pairing of the hoof, thus caus-
ing the weight to be unequally dis
tributed in the joints, and severe
labor in early life. In addition to
these may be mentioned blows,
bruises or any injuries to tendons,
ligaments, or joints, These is no
doubt that colts inherit a predispo-
sition to ring-bones.
SYMPTOMS Just as soon as the
covering of the bone is bruised a
liquid is poured out in the region Of
injury. This inf1anmatory liquid
hardens and forms the uneaven
growth known as a ring-bone. If
the covering of the bone continues
to be inflamed more growth is form
ed. Before the ring-bone become
cronlc the disease passed unnoticed.
If the abnormal growth of bone is
between the bones of a joint or if it
tends to injure ligaments or ten
dons when they are moved, a ring
bone is very painful. On the other
hand, a ring bone may be very
large and not cause very much an
noyance, from the fact that it may
not interfere with the free move
ment of ligaments or tendons or
enroach on the gliding surface of a
joint. In addition. to the growth
that can be readily seen, a horse
affected with ring bone isvery lame
when first taken out of the barn,
but after moving for few hundred
yards gradually works out Of the
lameness," as horsemen call it, but
when allowed to stand and become
cool, and then moved again, the
lameness reappears.
TREATMENT. Preventive treat
ment consists in keeping horses
feet trimmed properly, not over
working colts while young, careful
driving on hard and uneaven roads,
and avoiding all injuries that are
liable to strain tendons, ligaments
and joints Of the limbs.
! Even after ring-bone has devel-
oped it may be cured by proper
treatment Of the feet, and applying
ny blister. The fly blister is pre-
pared by mixing thoroug Chilly one

take these for the Angus, as they
are so much alike; they are very
similar in form, color and hornless-
ness, but their origin is different,
and the hair of the Galloways is
long, wavy or shaggy, and their
hides are used to make robes since
the buffalo became extinct. The
bulls are good dehorners, they
make good feeders, but being
adapted to high attitudes and very
cold weather, they will never gain
any foothold in Florida"
In making the foregoing de-
scnption | have used information
obtained from sight of prize win
ming specimens, from judges re-
ports in the Breeders Gazette, and
from Bulletin No. "a, issued by
the bureau of animal industry of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, entitled, American
Breeds of Beef Cattle: 1t would
be we'll for every man owning cattle
to write for the bulletin, which may
be obtained by addressing D. E.
Salmon, Chief Of Bureau, Washing
ton, D. G.
Mr. William Duthie said that in
order to secure success, a breeder
must know what form of ANIMAL he
wants to buy or breed. If buying,
let him much rather put his money
on one good animal than two or
three inferior ones. In selecting a
bull he should consider:
Il. Individual excellence.
g. Goodness of sire and dam.
g, Pedigree.
a. Whether the bull selected
is strong where the COWS to be
mated are deficient,
IS. That his dam should have
been a good mixer and good
breeder.
g. Attention and good manage
ment are absolutely necessary;
never pamper and never starve.
z. Stick to your good animals
in bad times; they are a pleasure
to look at, and good times will come
again"
The twice=a=week herald. (Amarillo, Tex.) 1887-1906, 1905-03-31
SPAWN.

This disease known in common
language as bone-spavin, is an en-
enlargement Of the hook joint,
similar to ring bone about the
coronary joint, 1t may effect the
hook joint in such way as to
cement the small joints together,
not causing lameness and apparent
ly no blemish, but the free move
ment Of the limb is impaired,
CAUSES. In addition to the
causes given for ring bone may be
mentioned spraing caused by jump
ing, galloping or trot,ing animals
faster than they are accustomed to;
also straining by starting heavy
load, slipping on an lev surfoce or
sliding on bad pavement.
SYMPTOMS If the patient is ex-
amined before any bonY growth is
developed, inflammation will be de-
tected on the inside of the hook
joint at the junction of the cannon
bone an the joint. While in the
stable the horse prefers TO rest the
diseased leg by setting the heel on
the toe of the opposite foot, with
the hook joint f1exed. In travelling
the patient is very lame when first
taken out of the barn, but after
travelling for a short distance goes
sound. The diseased leg is not
lifted clear from the ground, but
hicks the toe in the middle of the
stride, which is very noticeable on
a pavement. Like ring bone, a
spawned horse becomes very lame
after being allowed to stand for
even very short time, then moved
again.
TREATMENT. The treatment for
a SPAWN is the same as for a ring
bone.

thoughtful Discussion of the Prin-
Cipal Varieties of Cattle for
rIarket Beef.

Following is the text of a nota-
BILE paper read before the Florida
Live Stock association, by z, c,
Chambless, of Ocala. 1t is we'll
worthy the attention Of all stock
men and others interested in the
chief source of revenue of the west
and southwest:
Prior to the discovery of Amer
lea there we're no cattle in the
Western Hemisphere, A bull and
three heifers we're brought to Ply
mouth by the ship Charity,in 1924.
Legislation made their slaughter
punishable by death, so they multi
piled rapidly. This ship sailed from
a Devonshire port, and it is likely
that these cattle we're unimproved
Devons. A,terward the colonies
received cattle from Denmark, New
Netherlands and Holland; some of
them escaped, established them
selves in favorable environments,
and, reverting to common type,
with perhaps some mixture of buff
falo blood, they became the wild
cattle of our Western plains. 1t
was not until the year 1850 that
the historical period of pure bred
beef cattle began. 1t is claimed,
however, that the type of cattle
from which Shorthornes des-
cended, existed on the Yorkshire
estate of the earls and dukes of
Northumberland d for a period of
500 years before this date. Dur
ing this time no herd books we're
established, and blood lines were
known only by word of mouth and
sundry traditions. Coates's Herd
Book of Shorthorn Pedigrees was
the first record to be published, and
that in the year 1922, or about
sixty years after the written rec
ords were begun. The first volume
of the English herd book was made
from memoranda of COWS showing
great excellence and variation from
the common type, so that in time
any animal not tracing to this
foundation stock. could get no
place on its pages. With the way

later started for the cattle which
are now the three other principal
beef breeders, namely, Hereford,
Aberdeen Angus and Galloways.
In the development Of these four
breeds. 1t is fortunate that there
was opposition, for the battle be-
tween them resulted in much good
to all of them. A common object
the production Of beef, was in
view, but had it not been for the
rivalry in filling the demand of a
common standard of the beef type,
some of the breeders might have
been ruined by putting pedigrees,
fashion and taste, ahead of utility,
dollars and cents.

or spotted, with sometimes spots
on the face, but this is objection
able, except perhaps around the
eyes, Time was when their faces
we're gray. Occasionally a white
or spotted calf is dropped which is
known to be pure, but they are
likely to bring on discussion among
breeders. In form Herefords are
close to the Sground, broad and
stylish, they have good constitu-
tons, heavy backs and loins; smooth
over hook bones, and carry a ire
mendous amount of flesh of fine
quality. 1t is sometimes claimed
they lack scale and size, but both
these defects have been greatly
improved during the past twenty
five years. AS a breed. they are
less generally distributed than
Shorthorns, there being being in
the United States at present about
10000.

Mr., Bryan's new book is meeting

ounce Of pulverized cantharides
one ounce of biniodide of mercury
and eight ounces of lard. The hair
is clipped over the ring-bone and
the blister applied with consider
able rubbing. The horses head
should be tied so as to avoid his
biting the part blistered. A second
application of the blister is to be
used about month after the first.
If blistering fails to cure the ring
bone, point-firing may be resorted
to, 1t is necessary to fire" rather
deeply to secure good results, care
being taken not to fire into a joint.
After firing, fly blister should be
rubbed into the holes where the
hot iron has been used.
When all these methods have
failed and the animal is not worth
keeping for long and uncertain
treatment, a skilled veterinarian
should be employed to perform an
operation for the removal of the
nerves supplying the limb in the
region Of the ring-bone, After a
horse has been operated on, great
care should be taken of his feet,
from the fact that there is no feel
