the calf has matured are very slim,
for the reason that there is no certain
ty about the COW transmitting her
good qualities to her offspring, be-
cause she has not the breeding.
There is probably rs much chance of
her being like some remote ancestor
as to be like her mother. If a male
calf is born from either good or poor
COW, it is worth considerably less, be-
cause no wise dairyman will attempt
to head his herd with grade bull,
be it a grade or pure bred herd. The
reason here again is that, even though
the grade bull may be from a good
COW, there is nothing certain about
his transmitting his good qualities to
his offspring. A grade male calf will
sell from twenty five to one hundred
dollars, depending upon the record
the COW has behind her.
1t does not take long to pay for the
original cost of the herd by selling
the calves. Of course there is general
ly little more work connected with
the pure bred herd in the way of
keeping accurate records of produc-
tion and breeding, but one is amply
compensated for it. There is a
certain satisfaction obtained in handl-
ing blooded stock that cannot be
obtained with scrub. A dairyman
takes more pride and interest in his
work. 1t becomes pleasure rather
than drudgery to him.
AS to which breed should be used
will be decided according to the likes
and dislikes of the owner. There is
no best breed of dairy COWS for all
conditions. The best COW for any
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15

dairy is the one that will give the
greatest profit. To which one of the
dairy breeds this COW will belong will
depend on the location, the owner,
character of the pasture, the care
given the herd, aud whether the pro-
duct to be marketed is milk, butter
or cheese. 1t is said in general that
the Holstein is for milk, Jersey and
Guernsey for butter and Ayrshire for
cheese.
The different breeds will need
different methods of handling, SO it
is of utmost Importance to stick to
one breed.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15
The Pure Bred Herd for Profit.

We very frequently get inquiries as
to whether a dairyman should start
with pure bred or grade herd. Of
course from the standpoint of selling
the milk there is no difference except
as would be noticed by the amount of
milk produced, and since we very
often find grade herds that will pro-
duce as much or more than some pure
bred herds, yet it is question
whether the latter will not be more
profitable ultimately.
In the first place it is desirable to
get pure bred stock, because one is
running a better chance of getting
something good simply because in
nearly every pure bred herd the
breeder knows something of what the
ancestors have done, and by tracing
out the pedigree the purchaser can
get line on whether or not the COW
has a good record behind it. While
it is not always true that all pure
bred COWS have records, it is safe to
say that the percentage is greater
than with the scrub stock.
Probably the best argument in
favor of keeping pure bred stock is
that all calves, whether male or
female, can be disposed of at a good
sum, if it is not desired that they
should be kept by the breeder. In a
grade herd, of course we frequently
get good individuals, that is, COWS
making very good records, and the
calves from such COWS may sell at
very good price on the strength of
the mothers record, if they are heifer
calves. But even then the chances of
getting a good producing COW, after
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15

Dairymen who are now milking
grade herds will say that they cannot
afford to sell their stock and buy pure
berd cows. But by replacing a few
each year the change can be made
without the expenditure of a large
sum of money. AS soon as you have
a few good blooded COWS you will
easily see that you have made a mis-
take by not getting into the pure
bred business sooner.

The fire Is said to have started
from forest fires which partially sur
rounded Au Sable. A church and sew
eral houses were first burned and then
the flames got into huge slab yard,
containing thousands of cords of dry
mill wood at the Loud & Sons mill
and famed by a stiff gale, embers
were sent flying over both towns and
the people were utterly unable to
cope with the flames
1t is said there was heavy loss of
life, the dead being abandoned in the
streets The towns, which were for
merly active lumber towns with sew
eral sawmills, now have population OF
about 1000 The Loud plant, OF
which Congressman George A. Loud

one Of the owners. is practically the
only industry there of any Importance
i This loss alone will be 100000. The
Loud plant consisted of sawmills,

and lumber yard Other losses will
probably reach s15o,oo0.
