and England. Practically speaking
there are no beef cattle bred there.
The strictly dairy type of cows seem
to be only holding her own. But the
dual purpose type is bred in ever in

Cows must show a value for beef as
well as milk production. In general
they are marketed at from seven to
nine years Of age because of breed
ing profit in milk production, yet be-
ing Of prime value for beef"
Speaking of the founding of the
milking Shortaorn Branch Of the
American Shorthorn Association,
Prof. Eckles stated he was appointed
"a director for the organization and
ask for his advice. At that time he
recommended the formation Of an
independent association that would
register milking Shorthorns imported
from England. Since then such an
association has been founded at st.
Paul, MINI. 1t is fostered by ]. j.
Hill, the railroad builder.
The herd of Shorthorn cattle foun-
ded by Mr.. E. C. s. Miller many years
ago, for the past seven years has
been bred for dual purpose produc-
ton. Under the present management
of his son Lester Miller, a herd bull
has been introduced from New York
who has especially marked the herd
as dual purpose animals. Four of his
heifers came into milk this spring and
give splendid promise. For this herd

ADVERTISING THE MOST
IMPORTANT OF THEM ALL

THE Mexico Ledger for forty years
has semi-frequently taken the posi-
ton that merchants make a mistake
in paying rent, clerk hire, light and
other overhead expenses, and then
leave off publicity. The most impor-
tant proposition, if you have anything
to sell, is publicity. What do you
want to open a store for, any way,
unless the people know about it
especially the line Of goods you
carry and the price you charge?
Along this line, the Paris Mo-, APP
