While the owners will undoubtedly

Time to Start on
a Purebred Herd
Best Sort Of Stock Is Selling For
Fraction of What Values Were
Year or Two Ago.

Farmers who have money or who
can obtain credit should not fail to
take advantage of the present oppor
tunity to get a start in the purebred
livestock business. Good purebred
breeding stock is now bringing little
. than market price and n COM
paratiyely small mount of money
wisely spent will lay the foundation
for, good herds.
Any man who has ever dreamed. of
having purebred stock should get busy
now. a lit lie cash or credit carefully
used now should mean good returns
in the years to come. Purebred cat
tie are not bringing much more than
market price. In other words, the
spread between the price as purebred
and the price as meat is greatly de
creased this year-which is to the adj
vantage of the man who desires to i'm
prove his herd. At a recent sale we'll
bred cows of n good type sold for SO
TO $50, against $4OO to 5000 for the
same quality stuff n year ago.
IL looks rs though no mistake Will
be made buying at these values. As
II matter of fact. where the premium
on purebred is no greater thar it is
now il is probable that it would paw
to raise then TO sell for meat. At
least, now Is an excellent time to OBJ
tain purebred sires and plan a gen
eral improvement.
