OF demonstration that such fanciers

OF such blood even In England, and
1t Is particular strain some Of our
best American and English breeders
must have II they keep up this line
Of progressive breeding. ~,
Early in Jun, last season, before
the agricultural shows had common
ced or even conjectured, Mr.. Hutson
attended the Hoxie sale at Thornton,
purchasing the very cream OF the
offering, few Perfection heifers,
and so Impressed was he by their
quality and scale that he bought sew
eral more at private treaty and q
COW or two in calf to that now fam
Gus son of Dale, since Perfection
Fairfax the brother OF these heifers,
and a son OF Perfection was the win
ner OF the Hereford sweepstakes at
the principal state fairs and the great
international show at Chicago in De
cember, 1907.
OF all the lessons OF last season in
exploitation of the resources OF the
Panhandle OF Texas, there was none
from which l have heard so much as
that which went with the exhibition
OF the Hereford bulls from the Out
Door Hereford herd Of John Hutson
at Kansas City, Fort Worth and at
Denver cattle shows. The purpose in
making this exhibit was simply to
show the scale and general breeding
character of the herd. All the bulls
except those too young for service
were used throughout the entire sea-
son In the Out Door breeding herds,
the largest OF which, Strike TwencS
had run WITH the cattle and was
taken up about a month before She
show. Although not in fancy show
condition all OF these bulls we're suf-
ticiently well fit to get inside OF the
money In all Of the entries and at the
same time teach the livestock public
OF America on the impression that
had to a certain extent prevailed on
the public markets of the country
that blooded livestock OF all kinds
deterlorated in scale and growth on
the short grass of the Panhandle of
Texas" This false notion OF COM
merciallsm, due largely to the old
method of starving cattle through
the winter, had been partially ex-
ploded by the wonderful gain made
by fairly kept Panhandle steers when
summered a single season on Kan
sas grass, so much greater has been
the gain in weight and profit over
the old fashioned and fallacious no.
ton that two winters OF Montana
climate was necessary TO get growta
and develop a Panhandle steer, as
TO completely revolutionize this
branch of trade. But to the general
livestock public, especially the wouG
be stock farmer OF the Panhandle
who had hesitated until these speci-
mems from the Out Door Hereford
herd practically demonstrated that
properly bred animals not only kept
their chpraCer and scale, but aver
aged better form on the more nutri-
tious grass and by the absence of
irritating agencies and more change
