The loose skin Is pushed back so
that flap will grow over the stub
and the tail Is cut Off at :. joint about
one and half inches from the body.
The cut Is made quickly with sharp

around the stump close to the body
will stop excessive bleeding. but 1t

Reasons given by the college spe-

Giving Information.

The question of the beginner,
(which Is the best breed of beef cat
tle?" cannot be answered II he insists
upon definite reasons. for no beef has
been found superior to all others. A
man may have personal choice. his
neighbors may be raising one particu-
lar breed, or his conditions may be
more nearly Ideal for one breed than
any of the others.
In order to help those who are un-
certain as to which breed is best
adapted TO their conditions, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
prepared a bulletin in which are
given the characteristics of the beef
and dual-purpose breeds In the United
States. together with brief history
of their development. comparative
standard of excellence for beef breeds
Is included in the bulletin, feature
which makes 1t possible for the be.
ginner to compare tie breeds point
