BEST BREEDS OF CATTLE FOR
PRODUCING PROFITABLE BEEF
Do Not Try to Mix the Breeds and for Best Results Only
One Kind Should he Kept—Shorthorn, Hereford
1 and Aberdeen Anjus Will Use Surplus
Feed to Good Advantage.
'f
I - St : \
A Hereford Champion.
(By W. G. CHRISMAN.)
All cattle are divided into or fall ।
/ Into certain classes acording to the
•work they do to best advantage. In i
other words, the disposition they make
of the feed they consume over and 1
above the amount needed for main- i
tenance determines this class.
When we take into consideration ■
that cattle are only machines for con- ;
verting hay, fodder and grains into
some product for human food, and <
they are the only machines or sac- :
tories known that will convert those •
materials into beef, milk, butter and
cheese, we get a much clearer concep- i
tion of the real meaning of beef cat- i
tie, milk cattle or butter cattle.
By beef cattle we mean those types ;
of cattle which will use their surplus .
feed to best advantage in the manu- ;
factrue of beef. Os this type we have
three prominent breeds: Shorthorn, :
Hereford and Aberdeen Angus. While
[
&
Aberdeen-Angus Champion.
these are the three leading beef
breeds, there are others, such as Red
Poll and Devon. By some writers the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose; but for the present we
will consider them beef breeds.
Os the three breeds mentioned first, 1
we can scarcely say one is better than
the other,, for they belong on the same
plane. It is a matter of choice or
preference with each man for himself,
which he likes best, and then that be
comes the best for him. Every one
of us will give our best attention and
efforts to the things we like best.
Therefore the breed of cattle we like
best will give us best results and be
comes best for us.
The two remaining breeds are good
and in some sections are very popular,
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have a tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When we go into the business of
producing beef we want the breed of
cattle that will produce that product
at the least cost and in the greatest
quantities. Then it behooves us to
select one of the best breeds. I say
one of the best breeds, and I mean
one. Do not.make the mistake that so
DENMARK’S COW
TESTING CLUBS
Co - Operative Associations Are
Rapidly Increasing —
Stringent Rules for
Management.
The co-operative cow testing asso
ciations of Denmark have rapidly in
creased to about 500 associations. A
man is employed by each association
to visit the farms and do the testing
every three weeks. He weighs the
milk and keps an accurate record of
the feed consumed, so the net profit
, per year of each individual cow can
be ascertained.
Two Copenhagen milk companies
handle over 100,000 pounds of milk a
day, all of which is produced under
veterinary inspection and in accord
ance with strict rules laid down by
the company.
Inspectors see that every producer
lives up to these rules, which require
cleanliness at every step.
As soon as drawn, the milk must
be cooled and kept below 50 degrees
Fahrenheit; the slightest of! flavoi
may cause the bottling plant to refuse
the milk.
Then it is pasteurized at 180 de
grees, cooled to below 50 degrees and
put into small-necked bottles sealed
■with corks or expanded pulp covers.
Milk sold in bulk is sent out in
large sealed cans from which It may
be drawn only through a faucet, over
which must appear a statement of Its
quality
many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either one. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
tinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt to confine the poor qualities of
both breeds in the offspring. As an
example, and one that is commonly
practiced, if you breed a Holstein cow,
which produces a large quantity of
milk but poor in butter fat, to a Jer
sey bull, a breed which produces a
small quantity of milk and rich in but
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt to produce a heifer that will pro
duce a small amount of milk, the char
acter inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from the dam The reverse is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be
ing able to buy the pure-breds of any
breed we many fancy, let us act
wisely in the matter and purchase our
foundation stock of pure breeding.
Surely, if we wanted a plow we would
not go to the store or factory and buy
a Syracuse beam, an Oliver chill mold
board, a South Bend landslide and a
Mount Joy point, and go home on the
back porch, take a clawhammer and
a monkey-wrench to make a plow of
these parts. Well, it is just as ab
surd to think we can make the differ
ent breeds of cattle fit together and
do the desired work well. —
I take'it we do not expect to raise
beef cattle, or any others for that
matter, except for the profit they give
us in consuming the products of our
own farm, converting them into beef
and establishing a new channel
through which to market these prod
ucts.
Then, if this is our desire, do as we
would in purchasing a piece of ma
chinery for any other purpose —buy
the machine that was manufactured
for that particular purpose, and buy
the best. The best is the one that will
do most satisfactorily the greatest
amount of work and at the least cost.
I am a great believer in beef cattle
when we can make them consume our
farm crops at market price and save
the trouble of hauling these away.
Unless we can figure market prices
for our crops fed at home, then the
feeding or raising of cattle becomes a
burden and not a profitable business.
Yes, they should do more than this.
They should make us a profit above
all cost of feed, labor and incidents
which always enter into any business
proposition or venture.
In this way skim, one-half skim,
whole milk and cream may be put ou*
i by the same wagon at prices varying
1 according to the quality without dan
ger of the purchaser being defrauded.
, All this milk is of the same high
sanitary standard. Thirty pounds of
ice must be provided for every eleven
gallons of milk produced.
There are 1,100 co-operative and 300
private creameries in Denmark. These
manufacture over 200.000,000 pounds
of butter a year, eighty per cent of
‘ which is exported to Great Britain. In
, summer the milk is delivered twice a
day and in winter once.
Stringent rules are laid down in re
gard to cooling the milk on the farm
’ and in not mixing morning’s and
night’s milk. All foods which may
. impart an objectionable flavor to tho
milk are forbidden.
The creameries are compelled by
law to pasteurize all skim milk by
, heating to 180 degrees before it leaves
the creamery, to prevent the spread of
. tuberculosis through this medium.

Market Gardener*.
Market gardeners who plant about
i the same acreage every year fare bet
ter than those who vary the acreage
i so much from year to year. There is
too much of a tendency on many
• farms to plant a vegetable largely one
year and then reduce the acreage the
following year because prices were un
satisfactory. When the average price
of any of our important vegetables
such as tomatoes and cabbage, is tak
■ en for a series of five or ten years
the profits, with good management,
should be very satisfactory.

ONLY THING IS TO FIND HER
Every Man Has an Affinity Some
where on the Earth, Is a
Law of Nature.
Every man has a best girl waiting
for him somewhere in the world. The
moment that he is born, the catalogue
clerk in Time’s great factory assigns
him to a best girl or else puts him on
the waiting list.
There is no escaping your best girl.
No matter where she may be born or
how far apart from her you were
when you started, the inevitable at
traction will work your destiny, and
when you meet you will both know it.
All that is lacking is the mat|erial
realization, and inasmuch as all ideas
eventually find their way to the sur
face, yours is bound to come.
Sometimes a man’s best girl is
homely; sometimes her mouth is not
a cupid’s bow. and her features are ir
regular; that makes no difference; he
will love her just the same when he
meets her.
Also, she may be another man’s
wife, Such things have been known.
Here's hoping that it will not hap
pen to you. —Life.
Would if I Could.
Before his wedding Pat confided to
his priest that he loved his girl so
much that he could eat her.
His marriage had been an eye
opener, and he was inclined to
grumble at his lot.
“But. Pat,” said the priest, “did ye
not say ye loved her enough to eat
her?”
“Yes, yer riv'rince,” answered Pat,
"but the thrubble is I didn’t do it.”

HER EVENING TO BLUNDER
Fate Evidently Was Determined to Be
Unkind to Fair Diner Making
Conversation.
"Can you tell me,” remarked a fair
lady of her partner at the supper ta
ble, “who that exceedingly ugly man
is? I mean the orie sitting opposite
you?”
The gentleman smiled sardonically.
“Oh, he’s my brother!” came the
reply.
The lady went scarlet, and her con
fusion was almost painful.
"Oh, I’m so sorry!” she stuttered,
apologizing profusely. "You see, I did
not notice the resemblance between
you.”
A moment later she turned to her
neighbor on her left, who happened to
be a woman.
“Do you see that handsome fellow
over there, twisting his mustache?”
she asked. “He’s been watching me,
and making eyes at me all the eve
ning. Who is he?”
The other woman turned scornfully
and angrily upon her.
"Oh, he’s only my husband!” came
the biting reply.
Tuberculosis Day in October.
Churches and religious societies, to
the number of at least 100,000, will
be urged to give special attention to
the prevention of tuberculosis on Sun
day, October .27, or on some day dur
ing the week preceding or the week
following that date. This season has
been set apart and designated as the
Third National Tuberculosis Day by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis Day was originally set
on April 28, but was postponed be
cause of a conflict with Conservation
Sunday of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, which was held on
that date. The observance of Tuber
culosis Day in the fall this year will
be utilized by anti-tuberculosis work
ers not only for the general education
of church-goers on consumption, but
also for the purpose of interesting
them in the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals.
Far From Home.
Cecil Ryan, the baritone, who is to
be presented this year in the new and
as yet unnamed operetta by Victor
Herbert, is an Australian.
“How far is Australia from New
York?” he was asked by a youthful
feminine admirer.
“Well,” he answered, thoughtfully,
“I can’t tell you in exact miles, but
judging from the way I feel at the
present moment it is so far from here
that it would require about thirteen
dollars to send a postcard home.”

Little Study In Relative Value.
On the 23rd of June Edward Albert,
Prince of Wales, was 18 years of age.
That means that he was old enough
to rule the British empire If his father
were to die. i
But he won’t be "of age” with all
which that Implies in English law un
til he is 21. “ i
And he will not be free to choose a
wife until he is 25. '
An odd logic this—with 18 goes the
rule of an empire; with 21 the power
to incur debts, and with 25 the right
to choose a wife.
