other things In addition to improving
his live stock. He refrained from say.
ing anything about a silo on that visit,
but he did say he could let him in on
car of middlings that some neighbors
were getting at a price much below
Tom Feedsby's figures.

other suggestions that would not in

Ing. Some side talks with Billy and
Betty resulted in Runty, the pig,
catching up and then passing his
brothers and sisters, and the calf get
ting to look lot better than any
other that had been on the place.
The agent hadn't the heart to tell
Billy that the calf would stand no
chance at the county calf-club show
and felt that better results would come
from helping him to do the very best
he could with what he had to work
with, so he arranged for him to make
the entry. His feeding and care had
given quite gloss to the calf's coat,
and after he had used the clippers
on his tail and sandpapered his little
outstanding horns he thought the calf
surely looked like a winner. Rube
Mossby's children came over and de-
clared that Brindy and Runty were

ever saw, and Minnie Crookfur-
row and Tommy Sourgrass wanted to
know all about what Billy and Betty
had done and were keen to know how
1t would come out.
A Lesson for Billy.
When the cOunty-fair time came
around the calves were lined up, and
Billy was surprised, and, of course,
disappointed to find that his calf had
to stand next to the last one, and in
deed it was q frollZled-loOking calf
that stood with its little ewe-neck and
its funny-shaped head hung low. Billy
saw that the judge was perfectly right
and not only told him so, but asked
him if he wouldn't tell him what was
the matter with his calf. The judge
was glad to have him show such in
tereSt and pointed out that in his judg-
ment Billy as a feeder and caretaker
had really done very well, but he
could not hope. With Il calf bred as it
was. to compete With those that no,
only had as good care and feed as
his calf but something hesideS-good
breeding. He showed him that Brindy,
while having an. exaggerated paunch,
was sharp-Shouldpred, had very little
meat ON his ribs or loins, and was
too long legged He carefully went
over the black. the white and the
roam calves above him. showing their
good points as we'll as their weak ones.
This was Il real lesson to Billy, and
it is needless to say that it was a
much more valuable lesson to father,
who the next year bought him high
grade calf and was as proud as he
could be when his son won the blue
ribbon and trip TO the international
live stock exposition at Chicago.
Betty's runty pig also opened fathers
eyes, for the youngster 'got in the
money" with him and he said, "Next
year you can haves the best instead
of the poorest pig. and If you come
out all right may buy bred SOW of
one of the good breeds and let You
raise her pigs on shares"

STORY OF BILLY and BETTY
Girl Makes Wonderful Success With
Runty Pig and Boy Does Almost
Equally Well With Ewe.Necked,
Frouzied-Lookinq Calf.

Zeb Powers thought he knew all he
wanted to know about purebreds. He
had seen reckless fellows in his Sec
tion put all their money into pure
breds. and had later attended the
sheriff's sale and seen the neglected
animals sold at farm-cattle prices.
That was enough for him; and when
the college professor, the county
agent, the MISUNDERSTANDING man,
or anybody else began talking about
the advantages Of better stock, Zeb
gave him Il cold shoulder.
But when Billy and Betty got to
reading up on what other boys and
girls were doing in the community
with corn, pigs, or calves, pop just
had to listen. He argued with them
and told about cases he had known in
which "tricksters had put purebred
stock through the ring on fake bids
to get free advertising and catch suck
ers." He had even heard old 81 Slocum
and Uncle Peter Tulnbledown make
the charge that the university fellows
were hired by slick sellers of pure
breds to help them bunco the farm
erS.
Mother Strikes a Bargain.
Then Billy and Betty would make
further inquiries and talk it over with
mother, who perhaps was grieving
over the fact that Molly and Bob,
long dissatisfied with slovenly farm
work, had gone to town, one having
q $l5-a-weck factory job and the other
driving Il team for contractor She
had real heartto-heart talk with
father, and finally got him to let Bill
ly have old Brndle's calf and Betty
the runt pig out Of old Spots puny
litter; and if they "were silly enough
to think there was anything in all this
club stuff, maybe this would help to
get the f0olishness out of their heads"
Needless to say. Billy was the first
one up the morning after the an
nouncement. He and Betty attended
to their new treasures long before any
of the regular chores were DONE Betty
gave the old SOW some nice extra feed
and got on such good terms with her
that the SOW was satisfied to let Betty
see to it that the stronger pigs in the
litter didn't lick the platter clean be-
