Profit For Small
Farmer In Raising
Purebred Stock

All farmers who are interested in
the purebred livestock business can
not engage in it on a large scale,
but there is no doubt but what
more small farmers could take up
the work in a limited way with
profit to themselves and with benefit
to their community and county, say
livestock specialists of the Division
OF Extension, University of Tennes-
see.
An example of such a farmer may
be cited in the case of j. T. Nc
Spadden of Madisonville, Monroe
County. In 1915 Mr.. McSpadden
bought two registered cows, two
heifer calves and one bull calf for
the sum of $3.50. Since that time
ffe has sold $4,000 worth of regis
tered cattle and now has on hand
IS head--nine of breeding age, three
yearling heifers and six spring
calves. Mr. McSpadden says that
he has some cows that he would
not take $500 each for, To roughly
estimate the herd at an average of
$3.50 it would mean that he now
has s2,7OO worth of purebred cattle.
His sales of $4,000 added to this
and $3.50 (his initial investmenD
subtracted, one can see that this
farmer from small investment has
produced $3.50 worth of cattle in
the past five years, or in other
words, $3.50 worth of cattle per year
on $3.50 investment.
The above herd of cattle has al
ways been handled in the most eff
ficient way. They have been fed
so as to keep them in good thrifty
condition but no expensive foods
have been used. Mr.. McSpadden
has practiced selling off the calves
at weaving time. BY this method he
disposes of the calves before they
have consumed very much grain.
No calf has been sold for more
than 5000 or less than $1O0 In
addition to this, every animal has
been sold in his home county, show
ing that his neighbors have some
appreciation OF what he is doing.
Now is the most opportune time
to start in the cattle breeding bust.
ness, according to livestock special
lists. Good purebred stock can be
purchased at a very low figure. All
the people who have been studying
the livestock business predict higher
prices in the future Those who
start now will be able to buy live
stock at a low price and reap the
benefit of better prices at a future
date

Well Bred Steers
Outweigh Scrubs.

My steers as yearlings go over
the scaks at from 1900 to 1925.
The ordinary scrub steers go out
of here as year olds weighing
from 500 to 800" With this com,
ment in a letter to the United
States Department of Agriculture, a
stockman in Elko County, New,
points out benefits which he has
derived from the use of purebred
sires.
"In my opinion" he adds, "even
in this country everyone should
breed some purebred strain. Never
theless the scrub bull dominates
even in the face of these figures.
The average cattle grower does not
take into consideration that it costs
no more to produce a good animal
than it does to produce a scrub and
the purebred is cheaper in the long
run
Danish the scrub sire and put in
his place a purebred whether it be
boar or ram, say livestock specialists.
