STABILITY FOR BREEDERS,
The Outlook Good for the Raiser of
Pure Bred Live Stock
Boom Prices.

| There is a feeling among breeders
| of pure bred live stock that the busi-
ness is on a firm basis, and that it
will continue to be so for some time
| to come Those familiar with the sit
uation agree that the breeder has
| good reason to look forward to the
future, and expect lucrative returns
| for the capital his business commands,
the time required for successful re-
suits and the necessary skill and pa
| tience demanded for the production
of salable live stock.
| Good values at fair figures and an
absence of boom" prices is a COM
| bination of conditions that inspires
careful observers with hope for the
| future. The reaction resulting from
| some of the inflated high prices of
| three and four years ago has nearly
passed. With business on the upward
| trend confidence fills the heart of ths
breeder.
Record breaking prices will appeal.
| to the spectacular loving public, but
| in the opinion of the Prairie Farmer
boom values strike CONSERVATION to
| the conservative business sense of the
breeder. Men who are breeding, grow
| ing and finishing first-class, pure bred
stock should get good prices, but when
the values reach that point where tho
plunger and simon-pure speculator
are encouraged, it has been the his
tory Of the business that these .charac,
ters leave trail Of wreck and ruin in
their wake that Injuries commercial
prospects and casts a foreboding
gloom of distrust over the whole live
stock business.
With good crops insuring money to
spend, liberal supply Of good desir-
able pure bred individuals, an inclina-
tion to buy on the merits of the ami
/, NAL rather than the often misguiding
fallacies of pedigree, and disposition
of many buyers to purchase a limited
number of animals Of character and
quality for the Improvement of their
herds, droves and fiocks is evidence
that the actual breeder has little to
fear in the future, so long as these
conditions prevail. This is the situa-
tion as it appears to us at the present
time.
