BREEDING Of Live Stock,


The breeding Of live stock does not
get the serious thought from the farm
er which it demands. Raising stock is
one thing and breeding stock is an
other The addition Of a calf, colt or
lamb to the herd is regarded on many
farms as Of very ordinary Importance,
but on farms where high class, pure
bred live stock is reared the addition
of young animal to the herd creates
almost as much interest as the birth
Of an additional member to family.
In the case Of the ordinary calf or
colt there is little or no interest mani
tested as to the future Of the animal.
II the calf or colt is pure bred its dali
ly growth to maturity is watched with
anxiety. If it is heifer calf that is
dropped the interest is SO great at the
time that it is difficult to wait until
it may be known how much Of an i'm
provement she is over her mother in
milk production. II a colt the farmer
can hardly wait until it is old enough
to drive in order that he may deter
mine what speed it will make on the
track. When good stock is introduced
on the farm there Immediately be-
comes attached an interest which is
not shown in scrub stock. 1t is this in
terest and sentiment which have result
ed in producing some of the worlds
record breakers, and the interest
doesn't fail to appeal to any man who
endeavors to improve the live stock on
his farm. This is one Of the advan-
tages Of breeding good animals.
