Improvement in Beef
THE beef market is steadily i'm
proving. People are demanding Il
better class of beef nowadays. A
prominent cattleman told me that up
to only three years ago he sent old
wild mountain stays to the Honolulu
market along with good cattle, and
there was no discrimination in the
price. The wild stays fetched as
much as his best cattle. Now all
this is changed, and II Will change
more very soon. The Hawaii cattle
lien realize this. They're breeding
fine Hereford cattle now. For the
past three years the Parker ranch
has been steadily importing pedi-
greed stock from the mainland and
has now the nucleus of herd that
will ultimately be the equal of any
in the world. The Herefords are
segregated on the big ranch and
they're doing splendidly. Those rails
They have all the depth of brisket
nd fine quarters of the mainland
Acrefords and in some instances, the
Island-raiscd steers show up better
than their imported progenitors.
"All this is only the beginning OF
something big. 1t is the object tC
have all Hereford cattle on the Par
ker ranch. and then Honolulu ant
ether parts of the country will b'
: getting the very finest kind OF beef
Horner's Model Ranch
The Horners are nearly ten year
. in advance of other Hawaii cattle
[ men in breeding. In fact, the Hor
, ners are a little too far ahead of tn
A times to receive all the benefit the
}, deserve. With the exception Of
r few Holsteins, all of the Horner cat
= lie are Herefords. Because the
$ started so much ahead, the Horner
