but his greatest victories will be won
as a sire of those beautiful "doddies."
He has quality to spare and is a show
bull with but few equals in Iowa. He
was sired by Entoria's Eyre and his
dam was Pride of Rio Vista Sd. He
will now weigh about 100 and is still
growing. Another grand specimen
Of the breed who walks around ma
jestically in his yard is Black Monarch
G, and he seems to think he is mon
arch of all he surveys. He was bred
by e. Fl. Cummings, Of Knoxville. He
was sired by Oakfield Barbara Boy
and his dam was Morata Girl. His
, weight is 2150, and his age five. Four
years ago Mr. Erne sweetened UP his
herd by purchase of a number of
females from Chas. Fischer, the most
of them being McHenry breeding. He
has fourteen head of the McHenry
breeding in his herd and he was not
slow about telling me so, either. His
she stuff is just about as good as they
grow them, and all in all it looks like
a beautiful future for Mr.. Erne, who
will very soon assist in making Aber-
deem Angus history.
With all the above complimentary
things out of my system, | must at
least speak of the possible hard work
Mr.. Erne has taken upon himself, by
starting "a herd of pure bred swine
last spring. to be handled in connec-
ton with his cattle business. He GER
tainly has right now choice lot of
Duroc swine but, oh boy, he will be
busy man. John is a superman how.
ever and may be able to put it across.
He has at the head of his swine
herd Joe of Springview, sired by Grand
Wonder 18th, and he by Great Wonder.

ABERDEEN ANGUS IN THE FEED

~
I E. p. Hall, feeder of four grand
champion car lots of beeves at the In
ternational livestock exposition, has
the following to say in regard to the
value Of the Angus cattle as beef
makers:
! During thirty years experience in
beef making l have handled cattle OF
all the principal breeds, but results
have prompted me to practically. eX'
clude all but the Aberdeen Angus from
my feed lots. The proof of the pud
ding is the manner in which it digests,
and the black cattle always give good
account of themselves, both at the
feed box and when they go to market.
/ For the past sixteen years Aber-
deem Angus have predominated in my
feeding. l have made them market
toppers and have also demonstrated
their superiority in the show ring by
repeatedly winning the grand cham
pionship prize at the Chicago Inter-
national. Other feeders, probably pos
sessed of more skill than myself, have
entered these competitions with cattle
of the different breeds, but the con-
test has invariably ended in a victory
for the blacks. 1t has been merely a
matter of breed superiority. r.
Il prefer Aberdeen Angus steers for
several reasons. They give good re-
suits for the feed consumed, being
even feeders. Nothing hampers the
beef maker more than load of cattle
that lack this qualification. They are
essentially domestic, which means
that they are able to make the most
of the feed they consume, an import
ant factor in these days of high prices.
When they go to market they COM
mand buyers attention, getting pref
erence over cattle of any other breed,
which is of no small Importance when
supplies happen to be excessive. Get
ting over the scales early means fill
and money in the feeders pocket. The
average buyer will take load of black
cattle in preference to any other
breed if the weight suits, and when |
go to market like to have something
that sells readily.
"The Aberdeen Angus are not only
capable of furnishing maximum per-
centage of choice cuts, but the meat
Of the entire carcass is superior. In
inc CuLLluS piOCeSS LueT0 is q 1llll-
mum OF waste. t. 81. ..l.e s..
Although enjoying reputation for
early maturity, they can be carried
along and ripened at any age. They
will stand longer feed than any
other cattle without getting lumpy.
This is a decided advantage where
market conditions do not happen to
be favorable. ~ ...-.,.
mot only is the Aberdeen Angus
steer good actor in the feed lot and
At the market but in the cooler it's
is equal to similar perform
ance. An Aberdeen Angus carcass
always cuts well, displays good color
and makes a hit with the man who
passes the beef along to the consum-
,r."
Let us investigate the claim of Mr.
Hall in regard to the winnings of the
Aberdeen Angus at the International
shows, where breed meets breed. Be-

OF a number of the animals in his

me, and in the same breath say:
Gray, did. you ever see such a back

Mr.. Marten was. one of the early
members of the Angus breeders asso-

$50, and today there are about seven
thousand He took an interest in ev-
,erything pertaining to the betterment
of the breed, and spared neither mon
ey nor labor to establish a herd that
he would be proud of. 1t became nee
essary for him to dispense the herd
about twenty years ago and I know
he regretted that it was necessary to
do So At that dispersion sale Col.
Woods was on the block and men
from many states were present to buy
stock to improve their herds. At this
sale I first saw Chas. Fischer, ST., and
his son, Charley, who has reached the
very pinnacle of fame as breeder of
the black "doddies." The old herd
bull, Black Jam, by Jim Jam, was a
great animal and remember we'll just
how he looked, when brought into the
ring to be sold. A son of Mr. Martin
bought him. Most of the herd was
sold, but Francis T., then young
man of great promise as breeder,
purchased little Of this good seed

A review of the carcass competition
of the past sixteen International live
stock expositions reveals the fact that
Aberdeen Angus cattle and their
grades have won ninety-two prizes out
of possible one hundred and fifty
two. This is Is per cent of all money
prizes offered. sAberdeen Angus have
also won fifteen out Of the sixteen pos
sible grand championships for dressed
carcasses. Analysis of the awards
covering the period of sixteen years
further, shows the degree in which
Aberdeen Angus and their grades .eX-
cell all other breeds on the block. The
ninety-two Aberdeen Angus winners
were composed of fortyfour two-year-
Odds, ana forty-eight yearlings., Forty
four were pure breds, forty-four were
grades, two were crossbred Hereford
Aberdeen Angus and two crossbred
