BEEF BREEDING
Continues from Pau. sev.n)


faith requires that only freshly killed
meats can be consumed. Here are the
great points OF export from which
both meat and live animals are shipped
to foreign markets. In fact the East
crn states have all the advantages Of
marketing. Many will contend that
the Middle West has the advantage Of
large packing plants. True enough,
but why? Simply because they have
the product to handle in them. II New
England produced more beef than the
Middle West then greater plants would
be built here. However. the packing
plants located in our Eastern states
are sufficiently large to accommodate
all the beef animals we are likely to
produce for several generations. Local
slaughtering plants will be established
when the supply justines their con-
strV1fion. Our New England mer-
chants are anxious to obtain. home
grown beef. Not worn out oxen and
hat rack dairy cows, but good, red,
juicy. tender beef such as IL produced
by beef cattle.
In Maine for instance, there is one
market in Portland that actually buys
at present $500, worth of western
beef per year. Think Of It, 100000
worth a week! This one market could
and would be glad to use the yearly
output from more than ESQ beef cattle
farms of larger than &c size each
year. The same il true OF a number
of other markets in Portland. What Is
true Of Portland is true. Of practically
every city in New England. Count up
the number Of cities the size Of Port
land in New England, and you will be
astounded at the market afforded by
this one outlet alone. This Is only ono
Of the many outlets for home grown
beef.
The. market for purebreds viii keep
ahead Of the supply OF market cattle.
The supply Of purebred beef cattle pro-
duced In New England Is not nearly
equal to the demand. This demand Is
steadily growing and the beginner need
have no fear as to his market when he
has surplus cattle to sell. provided he
cares for and feeds them properly.
