Government for Better Livestock

Washington, D. ca drive for better
cattle, sheep and horses has been inau-
gurated by the Department of Agricul-
ture to improve the grade of livestock
now being raised in America. The pur-
pose of the Department is to develop
principally better producing stock. 1t is
pointed out that ordinary cows in the
United States require the same subsist-
ence consumed by cattle that give thirty
to fifty per cent more milk. The grade
of fleece from sheep, it is contended, can
be greatly improved without additional
expense except that of adopting the bet
ter breeding plan. The need of better
horsefesh. for military and civilian pur-
poses, has been greatly emphasized in
the past two years.
