CBy FRANK d. ToMsoN)
Comparatively few farms are adapt
ed to strictly special purposes and
fewer farmers are inclined to special
lied vocations. The income on the
farm is usually of larger value when
derived from several sources. The
maintenance of live stock is a neces-
sity in order to maintain fertility. The
production of live stock necessitntes
grasses for pastures and meadows
which conserve and build up the soil
fertility. Crop rotation naturally fol-
lows.
The question arises as to what breed
of live stock is best adapted to the
conditions and will insure the largest
returns. Long experience has proved
the combination of beef and milk pro-
duction the most profitable and best
adapted to the varying conditions in
all parts of the country. Here and
there n man devotes his entire atten-
ton and resources to beef making; ex-
elusive dairying is engaged in oy n
limited number; but the great mass
of farmers are neither inclined to nor
situated so that they can engage to the
best advantage in these individual or
specialized lines.
The breed of cattle that meets the
needs of this large aggregation of av-
erage farmers, that suits their condi-
tions, that may be relied upon to yield
a profitable return, is the breed that
experience has shown combine a prof
liable yield of both beef and milk
There are several breeds that combine
to greater or less degree these char
acteristlcs. The Shorthorn is the
most widely disseminated and has
been bred in greater numbers for
many generations. The distinctive
characteristics of the breed are adapt
ed to the conditions described. When
not In milk the cows readily take on
flesh, and If occasionally one does not
yield liberal flow, she quickly con-
verts the feed consumed into beef and
Is thus working toward the profit mark
through one channel or the other all
of the time. The calves, If the owner
desires to dispose of them, are eagerly
sought for feeders and butchers at
advanced prices. If they are devel-
oped on the farm they make liberal
gains and attain larger weights at a
given age than most other breeds. The
quality of flesh has always made the
Shorthorn popular at the packing CEN
tiers. Combined with these advantages,

law must have its due; If innocent
she should be vindicated. So one day
he called at the inn with small pack
age in his hand. The good wife was
overwhelmed with pleasure and pride.
She took him into the best room, and
while her back was turned he opened
his parcel and placed the skull upon
u table. When she turned around she
saw it and her face became ghastly.
Its a curious skull" said Donne,
taking 1t up; "see how a huge nail has
been driven into it." And he looked
Into her eyes as though he would read
her soul. She sank to a seat weeping
and moaning, and then. while the
gentle pastor held her hands she told
how she slew her husband.
She was convicted and sentenced to
death, and during the brief interval
between her trial and execution the
man who had been her Nemesis proved
her comforter and consoler. He was
with her almost constantly through
those trying hours, and to such good
effect that she went out of the world
hopefully, with smile on her lips.
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-09-22

the Shorthorn has a docile tempera-
ment that has long been factor in its
popularity. Shorthorn blood has a
very decided potency and improves all
classes of stock upon which 1t may
be used.
The Live Stock Journal, London,
England, July 20 issue, states edito-
rally as follows:
'In the matter of the adaptabllity
of breeds let 1t never be forgotten that
the great source of improved beef
blood the world over has been the
Shorthorn. The milk stock of New
England and the Longhorn of Texas
both received their first Improvement
through the heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Ceilings. In the blue
grass region the sons and daughters
of Durham found their best environ
ment, and the Shorthorn became then,
as 1t still remains, the backbone of
the corn belt and the stay of the gen.
eral farmer. In the West and South
west the first warming up given the
scrub and Mexican cattle was at the
hands of this breed; the rise in the
beef Industry in the Argentine is al
most fnseparable from the expansion
of the Shorthorn interests, while from
20 to 80 per cent of the Australasian
chilled beef is evolved from grass be-
meath red, white and roam pelts. In
such manner this British breed of
generallzed achievement encircles
the world. Its adaptability grants 1t
the pioneering quality; its all-around
usefulness DEGREES its permanence."
The Polled Durham is the hornless
Shorthorn, and favorite with many
on account of Its hornless feature. The
red Polled breed is also favorite In
some sections and combines the beef
and milk characteristics. But the
Shorthorn has been the favorite from
one end of the country to the other
because of the several qualities that
are combined and that are produced
from generation to generation, work
ing Improvement wherever applied.
1t is this dual purpose characteristic
that suits the purposes of the great
mass of farmers who, for various rea-
sons, do not engage in specialized
farming. Mixed husbandry has long
been recognized as the foundation of
our agricultural prosperity and the
Shorthorn has admirably and success
fully contributed In large measure to
the advancement of diversified farm
ing.
