Development OF GOOD COWS
Typical Letter From Dairyman Aiding
In "6etter Slres-Better Stock"
Campaign.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agricultural
To illustrate how good herd Of cat
tie may be developed from small be-
ginning, the United States Department
Of Agriculture makes public the follow
ing letter from farmer near Nokes-
vile. Va. This letter is typical OF
many contributed by practical farmers
aiding in the Better Sires-Better

Il am farmer and dairyman. l
milk rs cows and raise about two
calves year so as to be able to Gull
my herd two cows a year and replace
with young calves.
II started with common grades of
all kinds. but they were good ones.
Then began using my neighbours
purebred bull, and kept the best heif-
ers. But this was slow progress, so I
bought six grade Holstein heifers and
also purebred bull. Then I added
two purebred cows.
II now find ready sale for stock
I wish to sell. even for my grades.
When one uses good bull and good
cows. well cared for, he does not have
any scrub calves"
The letter points out clearly how 1t
is possible for one to develop gradu-
ally into a breeder Of purebred and
live stock.

SEPARATE STALL FOR cows

pushed and pulled and "nursed'' each

were we'll fed while the weaker went

At little cost and with small labor
he built wooden stalls to which the
calves could be tied while feeding.
Board partitions separate them more
completely from one another, and in
