the right way, and when good stock
is kept The fact that it pays to keep
a cow that merely pays for her feed
because of the fertility she returns to
the soil is no reason why we should
not keep good COW.
A good COW will bring us just as
much fertilizer, will cost very little
more to keep, will bring the owner
much larger net return. The same is
good poultry. We cannot afford to
waste time and money on poor stock.
for the best is none too profitable.
The buyer of pure-bred live stock
must get away from the idea that
really good registered animals may
be wisely sold for the market price
of beef, pork or mutton. Breeders
complain that a large number of
their inquiries are for $75 bulls or for
$40 COWS. Such are plain scrub stock
prices.
Oftentimes the breeder has a scrub
pure-bred on hand, and the tempta-
tion to sell is great, SO he puts on
pIICO d 1lCLlO III SACScS VI CuC oCOSh-
yards valuation, and ends up by ship
ping the animal and mailing the pedi-
gree. The buyer thinks that because
! he is getting a pure-bred he is getting
a superior animal, when the chances
are that the best of his stuff at home
is better. Naturally, he becomes dis
satisfied in time, and tells his neigh
bors. Thus prejudice grows.
Blood lines mean nothing unless ac-
companied by superior individuality.
The breeder has heavy investment.
His advertising charges, his showing,
the extra care and attention he must
give the high-class stock make it nee
essary for him to charge prices which
seem unduly high to many of US; but
| which are really low when the value
of their good stock as sires is con-
| sidered
| They cannot breed high class pure
bred stock merely for fun. The cas-
trating knife should be used more
than it is; but so long as the farmer
asks for pure-breds at an advance of
| few dollars over the cost of grades,
some breeders will continue to supply
| them, to the detriment of themselves,
the buyer, the breed and of the whole
causes more damage than grade and
| SIS mature bulls cannot be anything
more than scrubs.

EXPERIMENTS IN
STEER FEEDING
SiIage Can Be Used as Roughage
Even in Coolest of Winters
Other Tests Made.

Experiments in steer feeding at the
Pennsylvania Experiment station
showed that in cattle feeding the
profit secured from the by-product OF
feed lots may amount to more than
the direct financial gain on the cattle.
The test shows conclusively that
silage can be used as roughage even
in the coldest of winter when fed in
an open shed; that there was a con-
siderable saving of corn by the exclu-
sive use of silage during the first part
of the feeding period and that the
value of feeds utilized in the produc-
tion of beef during the winter of 1911
II was much greater than their mar.
ket value.
The results of this and other tests
at the Pennsylvania station indicate
that beef can be finished profitably in
the state, where due attention is
paid to the growth of crops equally
adaptable to the soil and to feeding
purposes.

We can get larger returns from our
corn through our cows, steers and
hogs, than in any other way For
three years the writer has been sell
ing his corn to grade Holstein COWS
for dollar bushel cash, besides the
fertility returned to the field, says a
writer in the Farm, Stock and Home
The same is true of that which has
been fed to poultry. The remark is
much work. I don't like to milk, and
/ can't get hired men that will do it. .
That is no doubt true where one
tries to do two times as much work
as he ought, and when the dairy is
cared for in haphazard way
where men are expected to work hard
in the field and do the milking in a
filthy barn. It is not uncommon to
see barns where the cows and horses
have to sleep on dirty and hard floors
without any bedding, while tons and
tons of straw are every year being
burnt.
Under such conditions is there any
wonder that our hired men do not
want to milk? In communities where
the most of the farmers have good,
clean barns, with cement floors, and
use plenty Of bedding, they have little
trouble in getting their men to milk.
But il your conditions outside of
these mentioned are such that you
can't help, and don't like to milk,
there are good opportunities for you
in beef or pork raising.
Fit carload or two of steers every
winter to put onto the market in the
spring, when prices are high 1t is no
doubt true that the work with fat
stock is not so particular as that with
the dairy COW. 1t does not require
such expensive buildings nor so much
help excepting in the winter when it
is easy to get. Owing to the high
prices of beef during the past two
years cows and young calves that
should have grown into beef have
been rushed onto the market by the
thousands.
Indications are that there will be a
shortage in beef supply, and prices
will be still higher in few years to
come than they are at present. So
there will be good opportunities for
any one who wants to do something
besides growing grain. There is good
money in stock when it is cared for in
