of the Magic City, we are exhorted

the prefix Magic" being interpreted
suggests the creation Of wonderful

great truths, perchance we will cease
to marvel in manner child like, how it
occurs that Is ounces Of coffee berries

purveyor OF meat is unable to induce
his scale to reflect more than twelve
ounces to the pound live weight on

regular farmers courses in General

ment etc, and are very practical. At
this same time there will be given a

the state have provided the necessary
fund to pay the expenses of the bows
who won in the county corn shows.

cure mature bull at a reasonable
price and it is desirable to do so wher
possible, because then you can judge
the bull himself, you can judge him by
his dam and by his daughters and
what they are doing.
As for the individual which you Sc
lect, he should be uniformly we'll bred
should be well reared, active, vigorous,
and if mature, above the medium Of
the breed in size. He should not have
the feminine appearance of the COW be
cause such sire is certain not to be
able to transmit any of the good quail
ties back of him. In other words he
should be strongly masculine and have
a general dairy conformation, and NOT
the tendency to beef. He should also
have the general breed characteristics
such as color and conformation The
most important point to consider, how
ever, is the ancestry and the four prin,
clpal dairy breeds have systems OF
testing their cows so that lit is not
necessary to depend ON private records
of production.
There is another value of the pure
bred sire as contrasted with the scrub
sire. Hiram Smith, of Wisconsin, is
reported as having said that "A regis
tered sire is a great educator. It is an
upward step" We can all see the in,
tiuence that the pure bred sire has.
The man who keeps him almost al
ways is thinking farmer, one who is
progressive and uses his head as well
as his hands. We are known by the
company We keep and we can not af.
ford to keep company with either
scrub bulls or scrub ideas.
Better ideas lie at the bottom of all
betterment, and when a man buys a
registered sire he gives notice to the
world that he is making progress in
his ideas of cattle, and that he will
think towards Improvement in other
things.
Then, again, how much more pleas
ure there is in raising and developing
heifers which are at least part pure
bred. With more intelligence added to
the animal breeding of this state and
the consequent use of more pure bred
animals, there will be less trouble in
keeping our boys and girls on the
farm, because it will be both more
profitable and pleasanter. For the
dairy farmer with average means there
is no quicker or more certain way to
success.
For herds of ten COWS or less, it is
a good plan for two or three farmers to
combine and purchase a good sire. as
one sire will be sufficient for thirty to
forty cows. 1t is also important that
in the same community farmers breed
the same breed making it easier to
cooperate in breeding and selling sur.
plus animals. When a sire has proven
himself to be good one, as indicated
by the producing qualities of his
daughters, never part with him unless
to prevent too close breeding where
this must be avoided. Proven sires
are valuable and there are many in
use, more particularly in pure bred
herds, which are ten to fifteen years
old
