considered to be fundamental by all
breeders OF live stock. both breeders
OF pure bred stock and breeders OF

or a lack OF knowledge and interest
in the improved types, use sires which

locks and herds. rather than sd-
vance IL.
Judging from the quality OF native
lambs on the various Missouri mar

realizing more fully each year the
economy OF investing In good sires.
