years, he was pronounced we'll by the
physicians and now seems strong and
hearty as he ever was. He says the
doctor gave him no medicine whatcv-
er, beyond an electric treatment. Mr.
Davidson thinks the Baltimore ply
sician one of the greatest ever, and
it seems that he has good reason foi
so thinking.
Mr.. Davidson is a native of Mer-
Ger county, w. Va. His family own
ed much of the land on which the

Bagby Thompson's little black book
containing the list of dogs and their

were marked with ring around
the tax due. This meant, the Scr

IMPROVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK
(By j. r. Hutcheson, Specialist in An
imal Husbandry, Department of Ag
riculture)

Before we can expect any marked
Improvement in the live stock on on,
farms we have got to make up oui
minds to do two things. First, breed
better, and second. feed better. Il,
this paper l am going to try to dis
cuss tho first of these briefly and Civ
to the farmers some of thinrs worke
out at the Experiment Station an.
It are being used by practical farm
ors in many sections of the State.
The subject of breeding is too biz
subject to be discussed in a papel
of this kind. but do want to empha
size the Importance of pure brei
bulls. Too many of our farmers dc
not realize how really important thi.
point is. l do not hesitate to say tina
a farmer had better pay $500 for tn,
service fee of good pure-bred bul
than to have the service free of :;
scrub given him. A calf sired by +;
good pure bred beef bull is wortl
from $40 to $50 more as a two-yea,
old than calf sired by scrub. This
has been proven time and again by
practical cattlemen. The chief draw.
back in the farmer using pure-bref
bulls is the cost of these animals
but 1t can be easily see from the
above figures that farmer who has
as many as fifteen or twenty cows
Will be handsomely repaid by an in
vestment in pure-bred bull. Whert
the farmers have only few cows.
am advocating several going together
and buying the bull and using hin,
co-operativeiv Instead of one farm.
er owning $50 scrub, let four farm
ers go together and put $50 each into
fha nrnnncitinn onI L
Many farmers in this State are doinp
this successfully. A good highly brcf
pure-bred bull calf will usually cost
from S100 up. I want to say RICH
Nro when buving bull, don't bu,
one that is "fifteen-sixteenths" pure
bred, or one that is just subject tc
registration. When you pay out youl
good money be sure to get a pure
bred registered bull. The better thu
breeding the greater the profits a.
a rule.
Whenever possible it is aIwavs ;
good plan for all beef cattle raisers i,
county to use the same breed bee
bull. Organize one breed and le
member of the organization push thi
breed. II this is done, the county will
become noted for one breed of cat
tle and buyers will come to this coun
ty because they know thev can pc
uniform, high grade, and pure-bret
cattle. In Russell county, and sew
eral other counties in the Southwest
best farmers have taken up thi
work and organized to push Short
horn cattle. The Russell Count,
Stock Breeders Association is one >
the best organizations of its kind il
this or any other Southern State
This company has put over so pure
bred Shorthorn bulls into the count,
within the last wear and the plan i
.t n pure-bred Shorthorn bul
within the reach of every farmer il
the county.
