cattle with sufficient nOuriShment s.
they have "good fat color" tn
year around. Crops are now CROWN;
on the farm after sweet clover tina
indicate without much question tina
this part of the rotation system will
be permanent one. A yearling bull
bred by the Prince of Wales, who owns
a farm in Alberta, recently added tt
the herd is being developed to hea(
the herd.
Speeding up the north and soutl
highway to Moscow, the party soor
found itself viewing the Shorthorns
owned by the University of Idaho
G.. w. Hickman, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry, explained
the purpose of breeding and keeping
good Shorthorns at the university
The group of typical matrons in the
herd is now headed by bull recently
purchased from the Prince of Wales
This worthy addition was bred by the
master breeder Durno of Scotland, and
is pronounced by eminent breeders as
one of the finest in the west.
In the herds of j. r. Papineau and
N. Williamson were to be found many
good cattle that were taking on the
bloom incident to good summer pas
lures. The pastures used are COM
posed largely of mixed grasses that
afford rather permanent grazing. The
Gainford Perfection bull, Hercules
Archer, used for some time in the
Papineau herd, has been displaced by
Fair Villager calf that gives pro-
mise of growing into a good useful
bull Imported Golden Stamp is leav-
ing some good calves for Mr.. William
son and this is especially noticeable
from the we'll bred COWS purchased
in the eastern states some years ago.
This herd is being carefully watched
by Shorthorn men for even greater
Improvement
J. E. Trimble of Garfield last year
bought the top bull at the Hercules
sale and one that showed wonderful
Shorthorn type and breeding char
acter. His youngsters found in the
herd testify to the wisdom of Mr.
Trimble in adding this grandson of
Village Sultan to his herd and with
a little more time we shall hope to
see one of the finest herds of Short
horns found on any farm in the In
land Empire.
The Fair Villager calves in the herd
of j. Houston McCrosky of Garfield,
emphasize the value of a well bred
sire Many worthy matrons, thick and
deep, with calves at side that may be-
come even much better animals lend
much inspiration to constructive
effort of cattle breeding Mr. Nc
Crosby is a firm believer in sweet
clover as he has just seeded ITO acres
on his large wheat farm. AS one of
the pioneer growers and promoters
of sweet clover it seems apparent that
such a decision, after giving it such
a severe test, has found for it place
of permanence in a plan of diversified
production.
Harry E. Goldsworthy, Rosalia, has
a well balanced farm herd and is
using a bull by Village Sultan. SO
consistent have been the efforts OF
Mr.. Goldsworthy that the association
elected him as its president for the
coming year This year more time
was used in making study OF the
herds and the hour was too late when
The place of Albert Owes of Amber
was reached, hence his cattle could
aot be seen. However, Mr.. Owes took
,ime to lead out a great Belgian stall
ion he had just received from the
east. The two-year-old was sired by |
he great stallion Farceur, possibly |
he greatest Belgian sire in America.
The excursion wound up as usual /
It the Day & Rothrock ranch, near
,prague. where entertainment was
provided for the night and for the .
second day of the excursion. While /
most of the day was spent with the
Hercules herd, some time was taken
IF for a trip into the j. H. McCrosky
lerd. which is one of the better pio-
leer herds of the Inland Empire.
The Hercules Shorthorns serve each
ear as an Inspiration for the
,reeders owning smaller herds.
Among them is to be found unusual
of type, quality and Short
lorn character. 1t is an excellent
Exhibition in itself and the Whitman
Iatah association feels indebted to
Gr. Rothrock for his courtesy each
ear in making this trip possible for
IS members. 1t is fitting climax to
n excursion with such purpose as
as this association and each year
he number making the complete tour
) getting larger. ]
1t is significant that during the |
wo days over 500 head of purebred /
ecidedly the greatest percentage of I
,ese were commendable If the ,
reeding of purebred live stock means I
nything to a community, and it most ]
ssuredly does, then this fact must l
lean much for the Inland Empire. {
q addition to this, it is estimated {
lat the breeders of these cattle are t
,und growing over 1000 acres of le- l
umes, including peas, sweet clover, I
Their clovers, and alfalfa. In the
ain, silos are found on these farms {
nd problems of management are be- {
lg gradually worked out from year t
, year that will be of vital signifi-
ance to the entire section as the
Importance of producing better live t
ock is impressed with added signifi- l
lnce. {
