scrubby Pure BREEDS,

So long as you are satisfied to take
he word Of any breeder who says,
Here 10 a pure bred calf with a pedi-
gree" and you think you are going
to improve your herd In that way you
will not make very much progress.
There have been enough pure bred
bulls put out through this country to In.
crease the record Of our cows, and they
have moi done SO. because. as a matter
Of fact, we have been using scrub sires
with pedigrees, and ! tell you their
name Is legion. Unless we are willing
to get to work and weed out pedigreed
animals without record and keep only
those that come from a good ancestry
on both sides we are not going to
make the progress we should, and
breeders will find out that 1t will be
a tremendous advantage to them to
keep records OF their cows. - q. c.,

Mare. For work purposes.

We must depend on the farmer who
Will raise at least a few horses each
year In connection with other lines OF
live stock production and grain grow
Ing for our supply of horses. The
small farmer who does not have land
enough to keep mares for breeding
purposes exclusively should aim to use
mares for work purposes and breed
them. This will cause some neon
v~enience In getting the farm work
done, but more healthy normal colts
are produced in this way than when
the mares are allowed to run idle. II
the mares are worked they will not
suffer from lack Of exercise, and the
foal Is mor apt to be grown properly
