WHY HAVE A PURE BRED BUILT

/ Why should have a pure bred buhl
at the head Of my herd? This is a
question that every farmer should ask
himself at this time and strive to an
swer it conscientiously as it pertains
to his own business.
The question as to whether there is
a need for better sires in the State is
superhuous, as a recent bull survey
IN New Castle County showed that 92
per cent of the bulls are grades and
scrubs. When it is considered that
there are $500 farms in New Castle
County and 10000 in the State it is
evident that there is an infinite field
in which to work along these lines.
1t Is Economical
In the first place, the use of a pure
bred bull is economical. The follow
ing ABSTRACT taken from a pamphlet
issued by the Holstein-Friesian Asso-
clatlon OF America will corroborate
this statement.
The average of all the records
made by first generation heifers, sir
ed by pure bred sire, shows an ina
crease Of 29S7.S2 lbs. milk, or 80 per
cent in milk and $3.50 lbs. fat or SO
per cent in fat, over the record OF
their scrub dams"
1t is interesting to quote further
from this same pamphlet, Just sup
pose bull sires but ten daughters;
averaging over their dams no better
than the poorest Of these four hundred
twenty-one daughters on which the
experiment was conducted. This
poorest bettered her dam by 1000 lbs
milk per year, easily worth S32: and
ten such COWS would better the year
ly income by $500. But a COW is milk
ed for six or seven years, and the ten
COWS would in that time better their
dams by at least $4,000. If a bull
bought for $4,000 brings in $1,000 does
he pay? What is the real value of a
good bull that sires for his owners
possibly 200 daughters during his life
time?"
1t Is Satisfaction
Like begets like" The man who
has pure bred sire generally has a
good herd. The three County Agents
IN Delaware during the year 1919
made INA farm visits. During those
visits they had the pleasure of being
invited to look at dozens of herds. Ii
is signal fact, however. that one
could count on the fingers of one hand /
the NUMBER OF times that they were
invited to look at a herd where there I
was not pure bred bull somewhere 4
around
1t is satisfaction to own a good /
herd Of cattle. After all. the main .
thing we get out of life is satisfaction
and the knowledge that we are doing
something worth while. From this
the. farmer who has the
well bred herd is bountifully reward
ed.
1t Is the Right Thing to Do
The Delaware Holstein-Friesian AS
'ociation and the County Farm Bur
saus are exerting every effort TO sun-
plant the grade and scrub bulls of
delaware with pure breds. Get the
pirit Of the campaign. Get this slo-
;an SO deep in your mind that you
ant forget it, "A pure bred bull on
very farm" After you get one your-
elf, see to it that your neighbor has
me.
