be strengthened with each cross and
the offspring would much more Ger
tainly reproduce the type desired.
Let US suppose that a breeder has
followed this plan and then, through
lack Of judgment, or for some unac-
countable reason, permitted the use
of sire widely differing from his es-
tablished type. In SO doing he has
destroyed the results of years. Now
let us suppose that an inferior sire,
representing Indifferent blood lines Is
placed in service. We can scarcely
estimate the damage resulting.
Basis for Breeding.
"Nothing that one can do as a cat
tie breeder will strengthen his posi-
ton at the market so much as to fur
nish steers that are purebred or at
least that have four or five purebred
tops. So let the improved animal, the
registered animal, be the basis for the
breeding operations. This Is vastly
more important now than in the early
days when the improved animal did
not appear at the market in consider
able numbers.
'Competition is keen today in this
field and the man who attempts to
make a success Of raising inferior cat
tie on the assumption that they are
profitable will find himself severely
handicapped because cattle Of the i'm

numbers and are given the preference

ing them worth Just as much as the
male animals.
This argument was recently SUBJ
stantiated when one man marketed
drove Of 80 head of Angus yearlings
-19 steers and II heifers-which sold
at $11.4O. In the pen the heifers
looked exactly as good as the steers
and sold right along with the bunch.
1t looks like high price for She
stock, some might think, but being
the same age and quality, they were
able to do as well and mature into
the proper sort Of beef animals.
1t seems heifers in the yearling class
sell best; in fact, the larger proper
ton of those that are fed for beef are
marketed at such age. In the feed
lot it need not be entirely a steer
population, because heifers Of the right
sort should yield as large a profit, pro-
viding they are the same grade as
the steers. They will gain just as fast,
making their cost of production no
higher.
The product Of this cihss of stock
matches up well with steers when
killed. That is why packers take them
along at the same prices. Many feed
ers who have surplus of female
calves cash them for veal, but it seems
more money would be realized by fat
tening them and cashing for beef in.

BUSINESS Of RAISING PUREBRED STOCK

Raising purebred cattle is not a bust
ness that can be engaged in one year
and closed out the next, asserted
horn in America. in an address before
the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
association at the agricultural college
farm and home week.
THE business Of raising purebred

w Il thought and purpose. And for
this reason the farmers in the British
Isles have attained a degree Of sue

rhe making of q pedigree means

small, fne-boned, smoothly finished
sire for one cross and then followed 1t
by an diversified sire Of uneven con-
formation and heavy bone, and con-
tinued this plan. The offspring would
lack uniformity and could not be re-
lied upon to reproduce type.
The correct method would be for
the breeder to form in his mind the
conformation, the type, that he wished
to perpetuate and then select his sires
as nearly Of this type as possible.

CARE AND ATTENTION
GIVEN YOUNG CALVES
Such Work Is Highly Paid For by
Greater Number of Animals
Saved From Disease.

A great deal Of care and attention
must be given calves during the first
six months, If they are to be reared
successfully, says II. H. Kildee of the
Minnesota experiment station. But
such care is well warranted and is
highly paid for by the greater number
of calves saved from the ravages of
scours and other diseases and by their
better quality when they mature.
To guard against navel infection,
which SO frequently causes the death
Of calves, the following method has
proved to be very efficient:
Draw liquid from navel cord as soon
US calf is born.
Apply tincture Of iodine literally to
cord, both internally and externally.
Dust compound alum powder on the
cord every few hours for one day.
Whether the young calf should be
left with the COW for a few days or be
taken away Immediately Is a question
on which practical dairymen are not
agreed. In most cases 1t is the prac-
tice to leave the calf and COW together
for two or three days, so that the calf

at the normal temperature which Is
quite essential in starting the digestive
system properly. Then, too, the calf
assists in relieving the Inflammation
in the cows udder at this time.
For the first three weeks after the
calf Is taken from the dam, 1t should
be fed from two to three and one-half
pounds of whole milk three times a
day. Care should be taken to feed this
milk Immediately after it is drawn and
before it becomes cool. When the calf
is three weeks of age it must be fed
twice a day and skim milk can gradu-
ally and slowly be substituted for a
like amount Of whole milk. Three
more weeks should be used in getting
the calf onto q whole ration of skim
milk. When it reaches the age of six
weeks it should be receiving from II to
16 pounds of warm milk a day. Great
care should be taken not to overfeed
the calf with milk, as more calves are
injured by overlooking than by under
feeding.
