. Breeding With a
Purpose in View.
Value Of Pure Bred Stock JUS
titles the Additional Exren-
diture Called For.

+ + !. !. + J. /. = :. !. !. J. + !. !. i. X
One of the first contentious of the
small stock farmer is that pure bre1s
are chiefly for the benefit of the rich.
who have a superabundanceof feed and
hired men. and that the poor mar can
not afford to give the pure bred the
care he ought to have or that the in
vestment warrants. That is one Of
the fallacies of the breeding world,
for the item of care is identical in all
stock worth keeping, and there is no
added item of expense unless there is
fitting for show.
The contention is heard that the in
vestment in pure breds Is too great,
and that the prices asked are often
out of proportion to the values. That
this may be true in some cases must
be admitted, but a. an abstract asser-
ton it is erroneous. The value Of a
pure bred breeding animal is arrived
at by the utility of the strain or
strains that are combined in the ami
NAL and shown by it's blood lines and
the individual. l do not believe that
q man with IN average bunch of cows
can afford to breed them to a sire
that he does not value upwards of
500. l do not believe under ordinary
conditions that any of us ever saw
q $50 bull that was worth the money,
unless he would weigh it on the scales
and make it for beef.
On the other hand we see men
every day using sires that cost 5000
to 1000 who are better pleased and
are reaping better returns for their
cattle product than the men who are
using cheaper grades of breeding ami
mails.
There is but one final test to the
value Of blood in beef cattle and that
is the butchers block. When your
cattle 20 over the plank at any of the
larger stock yards they go at a price
that the judges of beef place upon
them. That price is based upon the
quality and the quantity of beef the
animal will cut in the market of the
consumer. The buyer in the stock
yards will not ask you how beef steers
are bred, he does not need to ask you.
The fact will show in the animals, and
the good back, heavy loin and we'll
sprung rib will show It too plainly.
The old theory that fat is the best
color still holds good to a great de-
gree and always will in the beef world,
but the cost Of that fat is the portion
Of the question to which the breeder
and the feeder must address himself.
He cannot afford to sell meat at 4
cents that costs him 8 cents to make,
and it is under this head that the
breeder comes face to face with tho
economic feature of the question and
the profit winning part thereof. Here
is where the divergence between the
scrub" and the good grade comes in,
and right there is where the breeder
and seller must do his thinking.

lure OF energy and money TO ecure
In the accompanying picture note
the trees and shrubs, the grass, the
flowers, and the garden. While these
may be grown to some extent with
careful use of natural precipitation,
yet a provision of water for irrigation
doubles the rapidity and satisfaction
Of their growth and adds to the joy OF
country life.
At not great expense a laundry, a
bathroom and toilet may be made and
supplied with water under gravity or
pressure. These co%nveniences multi
ply the sati: faction of living and raise
the standards of health and morality.
Either wild or gasoline power may
be economically used to raise water
or furnish pressure in a basement
tank. If wind is used, besides a stor.
age tank in the tower, 1t is we'll to
have a larger cistern of cement on the
ground for the overflow. The latter
fnds use in supplying water to stock
and for irrigation about the home.
The first consideration, in the way
Of a farm home comfort and labor
saver, is such a water supply. It takes
precedence over labor saving ma
chinery to operate the farm and is
worth the careful study of every
country dweller.

PURE BRED POULTRY.
Little Excuse for Scrub Stock Seen on
American Farms.

1t is so easy and relatively SO mex
pensive to keep good pure bred chick
ems that there is little excuse for the
scrub stock so commonly seer on
American farms. From a single set.
ting of eggs or a trio of breeding
birds a whole flock of pure bred stock
may be produced in two or three sea-
sons at a nominal cost.
1t would be worth the cost for adj
vertising purposes alone. The farm
with a uniform and we'll selected flock
OF pure bred chickens at once places
the stamp of interest and progress
and intelligence on it's manager. The
value of all his products is enhanced
because it is seen that he knows and
strived to produce a good thing. His
credit at the bank is improved. The
value of his property is increased and
his interest and good management in
other details Of the business is re-
Elected in the character of his chick
ems
On the other hand, a scrubby lot of
fowls Of mixed colors and sizes and
shapes betokens q careless farmer,
one who is not thorough in his work
or in his management and the value
Of whose crops is reduced by reason
Of careless methods in their produc-
ton.
While 1t Is we'll to see the color of
. mans hair before drawing conclu.
sions In regard to his character, the
kind of chickens he keeps 10 a critic

Promises to Become Important Crop
Where Altitude Is Not Too High.
Corn promises to become an i'm
portant crop on the dry lands where
the altitude is not too high. Below
$500 feet it generally does we'll and
makes good yields. 1t should be plant
ed in check rows and given much cur
tivation-more than it commonly gets.
Among the varieties that are being
grown in Montana are the Squaw,
Gehu, Mercer, Northwestern, Longfel-
low, Golden Dent, Minnesota No. Il
and Silver King. The earliest ana
hardest are named first in the list
and the best yielders last. Home
grown seed is best as it becomes ac-
climated. Corn has a very favorable
effect upon the yields of succeeding
crops. Wheat does about as well after
corn az after summer fa!low.
