BEAVERS TRIAL

Ex-CHIEF'S COUNSEL Ill AND
MENT MAY MEAN
DEATH OF CASE.

Atlanta Oct. 19.-The retrial of
James l.. Beavers, deposed chief OF
police, was postponed for the third
time. The postponement, made on
motion OF Mayor Gambler, is indef-
mite. The cause of the postponement
was the sudden illness of Jim Key,
counsel for Beavres.
The result of the postponement, ac-
c0rding to persons well informed on

10 the motion to postpone, made by

lice must agree upon date for the
trial. 1t is not expected that either
side will ever press action to set an.
other date. 1t ic hardly thought that
the police board will agree to any
date the attorney for the ex-chief may
suggest.
1t is probable, they say, that if the
occasion of Tuesday night affOrding
the attorney for the ex-chief and Beav-
ers a fine chance to withdraw from
the contest gracefully, they will wei
come the chance and never again
press the matter.

Value OF PUUEDRED
Sire TO HEAD HERD
Scrub And Grade Bulls LegisIated Out
OF Existence In Oregon

To turn other than purebred bulls OF
a recognized beef breed upon the open
range east of the Cascade mountains
in Oregon has been made unlawful by
action of recent Oregon legislature.
This law, which the cattle men them
selves demanded, demonstrates clear
ly the unlimited confidence and faith
which the ranchmen place in purebred
sires.
In the twenty-five years just passed
no section of the country has effected
such steady and consistent improve
ment in its cattle as has the western
range. The persistent use of pure
bred sires has changed a motley col
lection of outstanding, narrow, shallow
Joined, heavy horned cattle into the
most uniformly good beef cattle bred
in any section of the United States.
Although the ranchmen could buy
plenty of well made beef bulls of non
descript or even very high grade
blood, they are so overwhelmingly in
favor of the purebred bull that they
now recognize him as the only legiti-
mate sire Of their calves and have leg
islated the scrub and grade bulls out
of existence.
The most common objection to the
purebred sire is Il cannot afford to
buy one" A few figures will demon
strate the fact that the breeder can
not afford to be without one. The fig
ures given is the record Of two cows
at the Iowa Experiment Station.
common scrub COW purchased in
Arkansas was placed in the college dali
ry herd and given feed and treatment
the same as the purebred cows in the
herd. She was mated with pure
bred Holstein bull and the resulting
grade heifer in her first lactation
made a record that more than doubles
that of her scrub dam. The dam gave
1883 pounds of milk within the year
and the grade heifer gave 4,704 pounds
of milk or 1855 pounds more than her
dam. This increased flow of milk in
the grade heifer for the year was
worth $1319
Given a herd of ten such scrub cows
anu DldClllS d SCiu D Uuil WOl III @IU
with them, we should not expect an in
crease in their milk production. How
ever, if a purebred bull worth $3.50
were used his first ten heifers would
pay in the first lactation period a COM
bined profit of about $3.50 more than
the daughters of the scrub bull. This
amount represents the difference in
price that the farmer can afford to pay
between a purebred bull and scrub.
The profit to be derived from pure
bred sire does not end with the first
generation. There should be more
daughters and many more lactation
periods. The breeder is also building
up "a herd Of uniform appearance and
superior production. What is true of
dairy cattle holds true with other
classes of livestock-Ira w. Arthur,
