Why / Wish to Introduce Polled Here
fords to Young Men As Well as the
ST Older Ones.

For example: The average price of
all Polled Hereford cattle that were
sold in public sales III the u S. be-
tween January 1, 1919, and October i,
1919, averaged $614.20. The ordinary
scrub cattle would not average more
than $50 per head, SO that the differ
ence in the price that Polled Hereford's
sold for and the price that scrub cattle.
averaged was $524.2O.
Now, a good healthy Polled Hereford
COW, if bred each year when her calf is
about 60 days old, and if the breeder
would exchange his bull calves for
heifer calves, the COW and her increase
in ten years would number 20 head,
and if the breeder of the SO head which
was the increase from this Polled Here
ford COW, sold them for $524.2O each
more than the 800 scrub such as he
formerly raised, the earning capacity.
Of that Polled Hereford COW during the
10 years would be $36, ,169. so more than
the $50 scrub COW would have earned.
Now, if there is difference of over
$50, 900 per head in the earnings Of a
good double standard Polled Hereford
cow that has good feed, care and en-
vironments, more than a scrub cow
with very little care, submit that the
Polled Hereford cow is the most profit
able.
Now, if one Polled Hereford COW has
an earning capacity Of $4,000 in excess
Of the scrub COW, cannot understand
why it would not pay young man who
has been raised farmer and stock
raiser, as soon as he is 21 years Of age
to borrow $1,000 from the bank or some
friend or relatives and buy a good
Polled Hereford COW and Polled Bull
calf, then keep them 10 years together
with their increase for 10 years and
take just as good care Of them as the
men who have been selling their cattle
in the sale above referred to and at the
end Of 10 years call sale and sell the
70 head at an average Of 1914 per head
or for $42,980.
What would make a more appropri-
ate and profitable Christmas gift for
your boy, fathers, than good we'll
bred Hereford COW?
