DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE

They are needed on Vernon county farms,
and l think if Mr.. County Agent will con-
slider the scarcity and price of help. and the
extra work that dairy breed requires, they
need more attention and won't stand a bit of
roughing it. l think If some of those old Red
and Roam cows nj Vernon county had the
feed and care that some of those dairy cows
are getting they would surprise their owners
and if they should loose quarter they would
make good beef while their Dairy Cousin
would have to go to the soup kitchen. If a
fellow has hte help and likes a dairy breed
that Is the kind for hi INTO get. But if he
likes to milk few cows and raise few steers
he don't want a dairy breed. Although
it is not the aim to compete against the dairy
breeds it is sometimes done as at the 1920
California State Fair, where Bonnie May Of
the Weaver herd of Tulare. in the three day
test on against all breeds in the two-year-
old ella IS. The same happens quite often in
COW ties ing associations throughout the coun-
try with their 4 per cent test
One can readily see that Granddad's big
red Durham COW which gave bucket full of
milk had nothing the present day Short
horns. Like Buttercup End which weighed
800 pounds with a record of 1888 pounds of
milk and 657 pounds of fat. Or like Snow
drop with 1880 pounds of milk and 691
pounds of butterfat They are proving to. be
the general farmers breed. Valuable in the
dairy and on the block. / remain yours for
more and better Shorthorns. both grades and
purebreds. Don't forget a purebred sire.

UNHAPPY THOUGH GETTING WHAT WE
WANTED

Aren't We a little childish Last year we
were all elsmoring for lower living costs.
Now that are getting them we are still
more dissatisfied. / wonder how we imagined
the cost Of living could be brought back to
wards normal levels Many of US talk and
act as II we expected the cost of living 70
fall without prices wages falling By far
the heaviest item Of cost in the production Of
scrds is labor labor constitutes usually from
eae-had to three-fourths Of the total price.
Instead Of becoming panieky over il we should
take broader and longer view, and thus re
eognize that We are moving in the right di-
reetion. Let's be sensible. Let's accept the
pains and penalties Of readjustment some
thing which could not be lodged If we were
ever to set back to solid ground, sane pros
perity, and work for aJi.--B. C. Forhes
