Good Time for Stockmcn
to Improve Their Herds.

PureJbred registered cattle of all
the beef breeds are cheaper now
than they will be for many years
to come, and now is the time for
the range men to buy and go into
the fine cattle business, not for
the purpose of supplying the neigh
boring ranchmen with bulls, but for
raising good beef steers that will
command a good price in the mar
ket. The cause of the cheap, fine
cattle is very obvious and now that
the fine bull business has had its
boom let us try the fine steer bust
ness. We must throw individuality
into our breeding. We must ad-
vance or we will retrograde, for 1t
is natures law. We cannot stand
still. Quality in connection with
good size is what decides the prof
itableness of feeding cattle and any
animal that does not possess these
qualities should not be kept on any
range. Long, lean, flat-ribbed cat
tie are hard to fatten. They re-
quire more food, and when made as
good as possible, are not up to the
standard and will not bring best
prices. Breeders of range cattle
have found that they can sell their
young steers with greater ease and
profit II they have been bred to
type. We know one range herd In
which the steers are 30 uniform
that fifty cut out of the bunch will
be practically like any other fifty.
Those cattle have been bred to
type SO long that buyers know what
they are getting.-Field and Farm.
