1t is too late for Grandpap; and for
father-his chance may be gone; but
the road is open to YOU. Join those
who have become independent by
breeding good cattle. Thousands of
men in the United States who went
in for pure-breds ten years ago are
now independent. Tens of thousands
who go in now will become indepen-
dent during the ensuing decade. Our
hope is that you will be one of them.
Nowis the time to buy, when all prices
are low. Get ready to share in future
high prices.

JOINT OWNERSHIP OF s!REs
Nebraska Live Sock Owner Lists
Among Other Purebreds Frac-
tionaI Ownership of Jack.

Enrolling recently in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" movement, a live
stock owner in Fillmore county, Neb.,
listed in addition to female stock, one
bull, three boars, five rams, and one
half interest in a purbred Kentucky
jack. The fractional ownership of
purebred sires is common, the Depart
ment of Agriculture has found, among
persons desiring to improve the quail
ity Of farm live stock, but who have
an insufficient number of female an
imals to warrant owning purebred
males in all classes. Fractional own,
ership OF one purebred male is much
more desirable than the complete
ownership of several scrub or grade
sires.

NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
New Type of Horse.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is developing types of live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep bree ding conducted in
Clark county, Idaho, is resulting in
type which has become so fixed as
to warrant it's classification as breed
These sheep, known as Columbia
sheep, are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed to
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
A new type of American utility
horse is rapidly being established, in
cooperation with the state, at Buff
falo, Wyoming. Among the character
istics of the type-possibly entitled to
the term 'breed-are activity
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed to
meet a demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes of military serv-
ice.
