WHY'R RAISE PURE-BRED
STOCK s@a J

BY L. b. Stants

One of the first principals to be
observed in the profitable production
of any kind of livestock is using
improved types. The animal is a
machine for converting raw pro-
ducts Of the farm into finished pro-
ducts for the consumer, and many
years Of systematic. breeding OF a
certain type for particular purpose
has resulted In the production OF
more efficient machines. The I'M
proved dairy cow is a much more ef7
ficient producer of milk and butter
fat than the unimproved COW. The
same thing is true Of the meat pro-
ducing animals-years OF breedine
by a large number Of bree1ers all
breeding for the same type and all
striving to excel have resulted In
producing type OF animal which
will make a much more valuable car
cass with no greater cost than the
unimproved scrub. It Is not simply
enough to produce pounds OF beef OF
pork but 1t should be OF the right
sort. Why is It that there is a dif-
ference of from soc to 81 per hun
dred for killing hogs on the Kansas
City market every day for bogs OF
the same weight and class? Simply
because good uniform lot Of quality
hogs attracts the packers eye and he
is willing to pay more for them be-
cause he knows they will dress out
more pounds Of higher priced meat
than a lot OF hogs with the same de-
gree OF finish but of inferior breed
ing.
The successful grain farmer OF to-
day realizes that to compete with his
neighbor he must use improved ma
chinery. What chance would a
farmer have now raising wheat II
| he used team of oxen and walking
plow to plow his ground and broad
casted the seed and reaped 1t with
cradle? Yet he would be no more
behind the times than the livestock
farmer that insists on raising scrut
stock.
A pure-bred animal is not better
than a scrub just because It has q
pedigree or is registered in some
record association but it is better be-
cause It is the result OF, years OF
! systematic breeding by many breed
ers for one particular purpose with
always one definite type in view. A
pedigree might be considered simply
a chart showing the steps taken and
progress made by previous breeders
and used by present and future
breeders as a guide to 60 by in con-
tinuing the building up Of the par
ticular type that is represented II
that breed.

persons to the 100.
Night schools will be organized
throughout the state to teach for
eigners and others to read and write
according to Miss Wooster's plans
Last year. night schools were con
Quoted in Ellis, Crawford, CnefOkee
