BETTER LIVE STOCK.
BY Jno NJ Scott. Of Fla. Agricultural Experimental
Station

There is apparently no otl1er state
In the union that has such a low aver
age value per head of live stock as
Florida. The average value of the
Florida hogs is about $500, while the
average value Of the hogs of the
United States is about $500. The same
IS true with cattle and sheep There
are two reasons that can be assigned
for the poor quality of our live stock:
Lack Of good breeding. and failure to
supply sufficient feed during the win
ter season. The native Florida COW is
no doubt a descendant from the old
Spanish cattle, with no Improvement.
Even the native cattle respond
quickly to good treatment. If we sup
ply our cattle with SUFFICIENT feed dur
ing the winter season, we are able to
increase the size Of our native cattle
fifty per cent This applies especially
to young animals. The most critical
period Of an animals life Is when it is
yorns. With calves. the critical Pc
Rod Is from birth until eighteen or
twenty months Of age. II during this
period of their life sufficient feed is
not supplied to keep the animals in a
good healthy growing condition. they
become stunted. II the srowth Of the
young animals IS once retarded. they
will never develop into such good cat
tile as they would have done if they
had been nourished properly when
Young The same is true With pigs.
A stunted pig always makes stunted
hog.
IT. is a. wasteful proposition to try
To- develop stunted animal On the
other hand, it pays well to supply the
necessary feed to keep the young in a
good growing condition. One of the
greatest hindrances to progress in live
stock raising is the fact that fa.mers
and stockmen generally do not give
their live stock the attention they de-
serve. At the present time the most
common method of handling live stock
in Florida is to supply them with as
1lttIss feed as possible during the win
