PLEASANT HILL FARM

g,sant Hill Farm to see if could
the report or not. | am sorry
tie that the report proved to be
.3ntic. 70. -,
"a. Sa1nuelson & Son are the pro-
.tors Of this famous livestock farm,
Sit was reported that the choice
"a of Red Poiled cattle would be
u at public sale, on the farm, Tues
y, May 2Sth.
1T has taken twenty years to build
His herd of dual purpose cattle, and
I.tseems almost a crime to dispense
st, but owing to the junior member OF
tthe firm being in the draft. B. A. has
l decided it was either his nerd or
Durocs or the cattle to go, because he
could not manage both. 1t was no
easy matter to decide which should
20, for it was a case Of being able to
love either, if other dear charmer was
away. Mr. Samuelson is not the first
man, believe me, who has been up
against the same proposition. and 1t
has not always been a choice between
livestock either. .,
The Red Polled cattle, as you all
know, are the greatest milk producers
of the beef family of cattle. AS proof
that they are of the beef family wish
to mention that Crater" the old
herd bull, now weighs about $500, and
he comes from a strain which has pro-
duced many females who nave been
great mixers. There are twenty head
Of cows, all regular breeders, too.
Some are fresh and will be sold with
calf at side and others will be fresh
soon Every COW has been hand milk
ed. There are a number CT. extra
choice young heifers that are as pref.
tyfanimals as l have ever seen. l
noticed that every animal in the herd
Is as quiet as, kitten. There are
three yearling bulls good enough to
gofany place and one Of the two year
old bulls is a real show animal:
AS / was looking over this herd my
thoughts turned to a recent sight. l
witnessed. / saw. number OF cattle
dehorned and l believe no matter II
the men were careful, it is impossible
To save the animals from much pain.
Really now, is it not better to breed
the horns off, than to saw them. OIL ?
Take a look at the Samuelson herd
and drop in upon some one dehorning
cattle and answer the question for
yourself. =,
Twas told that large addition would
be built to one OF the hog houses on on
this farm in the near future. II Will
be so arranged that it can be used as
a sale pavilion as we'll as hog palace.
It viii he cement plastered en- the out
side, the same as the other bulldlns.
q had another look at King Orion
Cherry, Jr., the young boar purchased
from the McAndrews herd last year.
and found that he is developing nicely
He is as long as sons fish poles anu
from the appearance OF NUMBER OF
spring pigs which he sired, will prove
q great sire. They now have more
than 275 spring pigs and there were
several more sows to farrow when
called. 3!
The farm, is located four. and a half
miles north of Kiron. l would advise
anyone intending to build conbina.
tion corn crib and granary to visit
this farm and look over the building
erected last year. There are also 9th
er buildings, as well as livestock, which
will interest you. :
QUICK BREAD TO SOLVE PROBLEM
The wheat situation is daily becom
i,,x more acute and up to the present
time 1t has not been possible to obtain
q ualatable, digestible yeast bread with
much less than two-thirds wheat flour
In view of, this fact, it seems that the
only solution Of the problem is the
substitution Of quick breads (breadS
made from baking powder) for yeas'
breads.
5ar,, notatoes. in the country and as
long As these last the housewife need
not fSar. for she may supply her fam
ilv with plenty of edible and nutrl
tious sSbread though the wheat fioul
should be entirely withdrawn from the
snarketti Such breads should be baked
IN shallow rather than thick pans. "

worked out and recomm ended by the
