help to bring him still greater
success. The uou.progressive
may ridicule him and his work
for a time; but it will not be long
till th:ir ridicule turns to envy
or desire to do likewise.
1t is so generally admitted
that we'll bred live stock and
poultry do better than scrubs
under conditions found on most
farms, that no time will now be
given 10 argue that point, since
the question is whether the WELL
breds will do better on out
range. When animals get their
living without expense to their
owner il does look like scrubs
ought to make profit. but that is
not all. The real question is,
Would wcll-breds make more
profit? Onc who would put
scrubs aud well-brcds side by
side aud look at them carefully
would soon dcclarc-if be knew
anything abou, what the marke,
pays good prices tor-that the
well.bred will bring more pound
for pound than scrubs. The
product is better aud there is
less waste when the weil-brcds
are killed than when scrubs are
killed. 40 there is reason enough
why wcil-breds should bring
more pound for pound
a con parison of scrubs and
weli-breds side by side on the
same range would very often
show tina, while the scrubs we're
making 1000 pounds OF meat
the wcli-breds made 5000. They
make this At the same expense,
/, should be noted. except the
comparatively small expense
OF getting a start ia well-breds
for breeding purposes. There
is no more likelihood OF we'll
bred stock having such diseases
a. tick fever than there is of
scrubs having them If the we'll
breds come from where ticks
abound. |, may be thought that
scrub hogs will be more prolific;
hu. when the best bred hogs
are put out on range, where
they will get plenty OF exer-
else. the pigs will be numer-
Gus enough. Well bred hogs
are frequently much abused by
being kept in small pens and de-
prlved OF exercise. and they are
blamed for producing few pigs,
