Tom Jones and John Brown live on
adjoining FARMS. Each of them owns
q scrub COW. The county agent gave
them a United States department of
agriculture bulletin on grading up by
he use of better sires, and they have
decided to try it.
Joe Smith. who lives a mile down
the road, owns a three-quarters grade
S%horthorn bull. The nearest pure
bred Shorthorn bull is a herd header
at the Glendale farm, seven miles
away. Now. there isn't a great deal
OF difference-on the outside-between
a t~hree-quarters blood and a pure
bred. Tom Jones, being busy, pat
ronizes Joe Smiths th]ree-quarters
Shorthorn bull. John Brown, remem-
bering a c%opy-book maxim that what
ever is worth doing is worth doing
well, takes the trouble and the time to
patronize the pure-bred bull at the
Glendale farm.
ou0Tt NuI TO Good EI0od.
There would not seem to be very
much difference in the offspring. But,
IN actual fact. John Brown accom-
plishes in two crosses a result that is a
little better than Tom Jones gets in
five crosses. In about four years John
Brown has an animal of q fraction
higher grade than Tom Jones can get
in about Is years.
There may be no way to show It
automatically. but every reasonable
man knows that the difference between
four years and 10 years is greater
than the difference between a mile and
seven miles.
Or, put it in somewhat different
form. Say that both Tom Jones and
John Brown own Il number of scrub
cows and desire to buy bulls. Jones,
being penny-wise. buys a three-quar-
ters Shorthorn for $50. Brown pays
$500 for a pure-bred Shorthorn. Most
men will agree that the difference be-
tween 4 years and Is years is greater
than the difference between $3.50 and
$500.
The thing needs a little diagramming
to make the differences stand out.
Here is what John Brown did by breed.

That marketing problems are being

Governments Is shown by a survey
which the bureau of markets has
been conducting.
Following the example of the fed
eral government, 80 states have estab-

agencies to study the buying and sell

;slatures created such bureaus last
vear. The model law prepared by the
bureau of markets has been adopted
nv one state with practically no
change and has been Incorporated
wholly or In part in the laws of sew
eral other states. In a few cases state
departments of agriculture have be-
gun marketing work under authority

The activities of the bureaus vary
from simply studying the conditions
affecting marketing. through regula'
tlon of marketing practices, to the ac-
tual buying and selling of farm prod.
ucts. This latter activity, however,
has been discontinued In at least one
state. Most of the bureaus have au.

GOSPEL OF BETTER FENCES
provement Of Farms, Both in
Value and Appearance.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With a view to effecting a practical
improvement in the value and the ap-
pearance OF the farms, a five-day
"buy-a-fence" campaign was recently
conducted throughout the rural dis
tricts of Mississippi. This novel
"drive" vas Joined in by local repre-
sentatives of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the state
agricultural college. and other or
CARNATIONS and agencies. Elaborate
plans for promoting the campaign
were worked out in advance, includ-
ing the organization in each county of
committees whose duty it was to
spread the gospel Of better fences.
The big saving to forage crops result
ing from better fences was pointed
out, likewise the labor saved in car
ing for live stock to prevent overfeed-
ing. An appeal was also made for
fields and homesteads that appear
well cared for.
Good as were the immediate results
Of the campaign, it is believed that
the permanent benefits will be equally
large, in that it concentrated attention
on the fence question and is expected
to promote greater interest in this i'm

BULLS vs.. SCRUBS
Early Rewards Clearly Indicated to
Stock Raiser From Using
Purebred Sires.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A few calculations In fractions indi-
cote clearly the early rewards to the
stock raiser from breeding with pure
bred sires instead of grade sires. The
bureau of animal industry, which is
sponsoring the nationwide "better
sires, better stock" campaign, calls at
tention to a series Of diagrams issued
In Wisconsin which show the prog
ress Of breeding native cows for five
generations with purebred bulls, COM
pared with five generations of breed
ing with grade three-fourths full
blood bulls.
After five or, in fact, any number
Of generations of such breeding, the
calves are still less than three-quar-
tiers full blood, while if only purebred
bulls r used, three-quarter bloods
are produced in the second generation,
and the calves of the fifth generation
r %thirty-one thirty-seconds full
blood. The characteristics of the
breed rapidly become fixed in a stock
in which only purebred sires are used,
while after any number of generations
of breeding to MISREPRESENTATION
sires the characteristics Of scrub stock
still frequently appear. A %three-quar-
ter-blood bull is much more likely to
transmit unfortunate characteristics

And Tom Jones has to breed three
other generations OF cattle (using the
same kind of sire) to bring his cattle
up to approximately the same grade
as John Browns second generation of
offspring. In the meantime, using the
same kind of bull, John Brown has
graded his cattle up till the offspring
of the original scrub COWS contain
1892 Shorthorn blood and only 1882
scrub blood. Tom Jones' cattle, in
the same generation, contain 93/12S
Shorthorn blood and 35/129 scrub
blood. Jones' herd. after Is years Of
work, still retains 35 times as much
scrub blood as John Browns cattle
all because. Is years ago, John Brown
took the time and the trouble to travel
seven miles instead of a mile, or
saw his way clear to spend $500 in
stead of $3.50. The cost of bulls varies
greatly, of course, according to quality
OF breeding. age. and other factors.
The moral of the story. as the breed
ing experts of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture tell it, is to use
pure-bred sires for herd Improvement.
Replace the scrub sires and the grade
sires with good p%ure-breds. Join the

agricultural college or the. United

you may need.

Calves born in the fall can be grained

Is readySto be pastured in the spring
they are sufficiently grown to take care
