LIVESTOCK PLAY
MAJOR PART IN
FARM OPERATION

A careful survey Of farm operation
the country over shows that llvestocl
play a major part In every we'll bal
anced system Of farming. II the farm
.er OF today is to build up business
OF farming for the future IDS slogan
must be- better livestock, says l.. A
Richardson, animal husbandry special
list Of the Division of extension, Uni
versity of Tennessee.
The Tennessee farmer must come &c
1.-THE realization Of the fact that 10 pei
leent Of the boars, 80 per cent of the
bulls, go per cent of the rams, 7C
per cent of stations and jacks of the
state are in grade or scrub class. Mr.
Richardson states that q conservative
estimate Of the loss to the state an.
nually thru cattle, hogs, sheep, horses
and mules sired by these scrubs and
grades is close TO S7,000,000.
A calf from a good purebred bull
at weaving time is worth $1,000 more
than one sired by a grade or scrub
bull pig at weaving time sired by
q purebred boar will bring $3.50 tG
$500 more than one sired by a scrub
boar; lamb sired by good purebred
ram is worth an average Of $500 more
than one sired by a scrub and a colt
sired by a purebred stallion or jack
is worth $1,000 to $4,000 more than
one by scrub. With this in mind II
is not hard to run the loss to the
state and to the farmer and breeder In
ito the millions of dollars. The above
figures are based on great many sire
surveys conducted by county agricul'
'tural agents in the various counties In
Tennessee.
Not only must the Tennessee farmer
be breeder of purebred livestock but
he must learn to feed this better live |
stock, says Mr.. Richardson. During
the year of 1919 the average weight OF |
all cattle that came on the market at |
Jacksonville, Fla, was $50 pounds
New Orleans, 750; ST. Louis, 1850
Chicago and Kansas City, 1,15O Any. |
one going over these figures will note
an exceptional variation between the
markets Of the Central West and the !
South. Two things according to Mr.
Richardson are directly responsible
for this In the first place cattle on
the Northern and Central Western
markets carried more quality as a
result Of breeding. This coupled with
an ability to feed the better animals
and to grow them out makes the diff.
ference in weight
Another interesting feature to be
taken into consideration is the fact
that cattle marketed In the North are
Finished six to eight months earlier
than those marketed in the South.
Good bulls, plenty OF feed in the way
Of pasture and winter roughage is the
answer to this question. The farmer
who is contented to use scrub sires
must consider that every animal sired
by them lost the owner from $50 to
$40 per head which may well be called

sire.
Which way are your livestock going?
Are they marching upward with the
