Hereford Most Popular.

The Hereford breed is now probably
the most popular in the South. In
size this is one of the largest breeds,
ranking next to the Shorthorn. From
the standpoint of the average farmer
the weakest point is their inability to
give a sufficient quantity of milk to
nourish the calves. On account Of ex-
ceptional vigor, rustling ability, a
thick coat of hair, and temperament,
the Hereford has taken first place as
\ grazing animal. Owing to their vigor
they are often capable of securing a liv-

Of many hundreds Of huts, with ath-
