will be in line for such remuneration
as a moderately stocked market may
bring a year from now. Where the
serum simultaneous treatment can be
applied as preventive, some hogmen
are inclined to risk starting anew in
the face of recent presence of the dis
ease in the quarters that must be
used.
A demand for breeding stock will
spring up as fast as breeders and
farmers feel safe in restocking, so
those who make early purchases will
find the least competition. The sup
ply of breeding hogs will prove in
adequate for the demand which will
subsequently develop. A memory of
past experiences in getting into hogs
when everyone else is doing so should
be enough to indicate the ACCESSIBILITY
of prompt action. = The Breeders

range cattle. We scoffed at the idea
of placing the gentle "blooded" cattle
with years of high culture in his an
cestry, on the open range, and depend
upon him to perpetuate his blood in
an almost savage herd The expert
ment worked, however. The Hereford
proved equal to the task. His first
offspring was but little better than
the maternal side, but on the second
cross there was a decided improve
ment and as years advanced he pro-
duced the equal, and oftimes the
superior, of his pampered blooded
cousins of the corn belt.
"And at the markets now, instead
of the wild-eyed steer with long horns,
thin backs and thick shoulders, we
have the gentle white-fac that sells
from one end of the country to the
other on a parity with the best the
country can produce. The change
has been remarkable, and now instead
of the Southwest being a ranging
country it is the breeding country of
the United States, with Hereford
blood the basis of the improvement. "

Forty Years of Improvement.

"The difference in the class of
cattle that reaches the markets now
from the Southwest, as compared
with those received twenty to forty
years ago, can not be imagined, and
is due almost entirely to the use of
the Hereford bull. E" This remark
was made by VIM. A. Rogers, the
commission man, who received the
first carload of 'cattle consigned to
the Kansas City market, about forty
one years ago. He has been handling
cattle on the Kansas Ciyt market con-
tinuously since that time for the en-
tire period of forty one years. 1t any
one has a right to an opinion on this
change in the class of cattle Mr..
Rogers surely is the man. "Years
ago, - he said, "when we handled
the old long horns by the trainload at
lump prices, we never thought there
would be a toning down and refining
of the range steers blood SO that he
would be a suitable animal for the
highclass feed lots of the corn belt.
In fact, we never thought there would
be the necessity for such thing. l
have actually sold cattle so low that
prices now paid for boots, horns and
other by-products of the steer would
more than pay for the entire animal
then. and have considerable margin
left.

conceived the idea of grading up the
