You see, there are a great varie'
ty of posts. If l want to get a man
out of the country all have to do is
to send him to some remote place.
The trouble is that l can send him

stances a higher condition of flesh,
a larger proportion of high-priced
meat, and sold for a higher price per
hundred, returning larger profits to
the feeder on the basis of the same
initial cost per hundred.
1t does not require a lot of capital
to become breeder of pure-bred cat
tie, provided a person can be salts
fed to grow in the business rather
than go into it. The first thing to
decide is what breed meets a persons
tastes and conditions best. When this
point is settled, says the Southwestern
Stockman, then bull of good breed
ing should be selected and bred to the
herd, and calves raised from best
cows, The raising of grade calves win
give the owner a wider experience
and help him to understand some of
the finer points concerning the rear
ing of special-bred dairy cattle
The knowledge gained by raising
and developing grades will be very
helpful when pure-bred heifer or
two is purchased as foundation stock
of a pure-bred herd The informa-
ton gained by the care of grades will
not only be useful, but the selection
of bull will give an experience, at
least it should, that cannot be gained
in any other way. This step of select
ing bull places the dairy farmer in
touch with the breeds of dairy cattle
and he is awakened to the fact that
there is a great difference in bulls.
A pure-bred bull is greater educator
for he is the means of leading men
to think and study.
With one or two good heifers it re-
quires but few years to build up q
good herd of pure-bred cattle. In the
selection of pure-bred heifers pains
should be taken to select good ami
mails, but greater care should be ex-
ercised in the selection of the bull,
for it is through the bull the herd Is
improved. In other words, the bull
has an influence on every calf born
in the herd. while the cow influence
but one calf year.
1t therefore becomes the greatest
Importance for dairy farmer to Sc
lect a well-bred and good breeding
bull. Very often aged bulls that are
good breeders are offered at prices
little above their value for beef. They
are harder and more dangerous to
handle than a yearling, but this
should not prevent person from
purchasing the aged BULL especially
II he has proven himself a getter of
good stock. The bull must prove his
worth as a breeder of good stock
just as the COW must prove hers at
the pail.
To summarize briefly, the steps to
be taken by a dairy farmer who de-
sires to become breeder of pure
bred cattle: First, select the breed
that is preferred and meets condi-
tons best. Second. select a well-bred
bull, and when possible one that has
proven himself getter of good
stock Third. when finances and ex-
perience will permit, buy pure-bred
heifer or two, and from these ami
mails grow into pure-breds

Prize YearIing Hereford Steer.

A bulletin entitled Economical
Beef Production" by H. Il. Smith,
has just been issued by the Nebraska
experiment station. This report
gives the results Of four experiments
in which comparisons are made of diff
ferent rations suitable for producing
beef in Nebraska and of different
types and breeds of cattle fed under
like conditions. The general conclu-
sIons are as follows:
In comparing bran, linseed meal,
and cold pressed cotton seed cake
each as a source of protein supple
menting cornmeal and silage, the
cold pressed cake proved to be worth
so per cent. more per ton than wheat
bran, and linseed meal IS per cent.
more per ton than cold pressed cot
ton seed cake.
In the, use of each of these supple.
mentary protein feeds with cornmeal
and prairie hay, the cold pressed cot
ton seed cake showed a value per ton
p per cent. greater than wheat bran
and the linseed meal rs per cent. more
than the cotton seed sake.
Where alfalfa was used in connec.
ton with cornmeal and silage, or
cornmeal and prairie hay, large gains
were made without the use of a con.
centrated protein food. The gains in
both experiments where alfalfa was
fed were larger, less costly and much
more profitable. These experiments
supplementing what had previously
been found, show that beef can be
produced in Nebraska at lower cost
and with greater profit on a combina.
ton of the corn plant and alfalfa
hay than on any other combination OF
foods available in the state.
These experiments show that corn
silage gives larger gains than shred
ded corn stover when each is fed

BACK TO FARM is PLAN OF MOORE

Willis L. Moore, chief of the

take effect July 81 has been accepted
by the president, broke winter camp
in the Powhatan hotel the other day
and supposedly started on hike to
his Rockville home.
A large and profitable estate ID
owned by the chief of the weather
bureau near Rockville. That he will
devote his attentions to this and his
Virginia place is generally expected.
Professor Moore is native Of
Scranton, Pa, where he was born
January IS, 1856. At the age Of eight
years, his father having joined
Grants army, and being unable to
bear the separation, Young Moore
joined the troops in the field, where
he supplied them with newspapers.
He was educated in the Bingham
ton public schools, and science SEEM

Don't Worry Sheep.

Sometimes sheep get so fearful Of
dogs that they will start up and run
the moment a man or other object
comes among them. No flock of
sheep that is as worried as this, ever

ing chased takes away from their use
fitness, and sooner or later it will
ruin the fold.

Agriculture has become a science,
and no unscientific methods can sue

being made, and the modern farmer
must be up with the times If he wants

which he can keep up with the times
than by reading current agricultural
literature.
