Gentlemen:
Please allow- me to state that 1
have sold your hog cholera remedy
for one season and have ordered
more for this season. Last year 1
sold it to 12 or 15 men for raise
hogs. I told each of them to take
the remedy, feed it to their hogs
and if they lost a single hog from
disease of any kind not to pay me
a cent for the remedy, but when
they began to sell cotton every
man came in and paid me for the
medicine and every one of them
told me that it was the best hog
medicine they ever used. One
of them paid me for the small
package and bought $5 worth
more and said it was the best he
had ever tried.
Yours very truly,
W. F. Bari.ett.

PUREBRED SHORTHORN
AS CALFJLUB PRIZE
White Legacy, a beautiful purebred
Shorthorn now In the herd of the
State College of Agriculture, -will be
given as a prize to some member
of the Georgia Calf Club at the South
eastern Fair In Atlanta in October. To
be eligible for this prize one must be
a member of the Calf Club and have
exhibited at the county fair previous
to coming to the Southeastern.
Any calf to be eligible to compete
for the prize must be a grade calf
and sired by a registered Shorthorn
bull. The name and the register num
ber of the sire of each competing calf
must be given at the fair. The con
test is open to all members of the
Calf Club, w-hich is composed of both
girls and boys.
As indicated by his name the bull
is pure white in color. He is straight,
level in lines and possesses a smooth
ness and symmetry throughout that
makes him pleasing to the most criti
cal eye. He is valued at $760, and will
go Into the ring at tho Southeastern
weighing well above 1,000 pounds and
showing os a two-year-old.
White Legacy was sired by Scotch
Legacy, for many years the principal
stud bull of the Lespedeza herd at
Hickory Valley, Tennessee. While at
the head of this noted nursery of high
class Shorthorns, Scotch Legacy had
the distinction of siring the grand
champion calf herd at the Interna
tional Livestock Show held at Chicago.
Here it was that his get met and suc
cessfully defeated all comers in the
calf herd class from both the United
States and Canada.
When It is remembered that White
Legacy has the same sire as the victo
rious lot of youngsters that won at
Chicago his value becomes apparent,
and Bhould give great Impetus to the
work and Interest In tho Georgia Calf
Clubs.
VALUE OF PUREBRED
SIRE TO HEAD HERD
Scrub And Grade Bulls Legislated Out
Of Existence In Oregon
To turn other than purebred bulls of
a recognized beef breed upon the open
range cast of the Cascade mountains
in Oregon has been made unlawful by
action of recent Oregon legislature.
This law, which the cattle men them
selves demanded, demonstrates dear
ly the unlimited confidence and faith
which the ranchmen place in purebred
sires.
In the twenty-live years just passed
no section of the country has effected
such a steady and consistent improve
ment in its cattle as has the western
range. The persistent use of pure
bred sires has changed a motley col
lection of upstanding, narrow, shallow
loinod, heavy horned cattle into the
most, uniformly good beef cattle bred
in any section of the United States.
Although the ranchmen could buy
plenty of well made beef bulls of non
descript or even very high grade
blood, they are so overwhelmingly in
favor of the purebred hull that they
now recognize him as the only legiti
mate sire of their calves and have leg
islated the scrub and grade bulls out
of existence.
The most common objection to the
purebred sire is “I cannot afford to
buy one." A few figures will demon
strate the fact that the breeder can
not afford to be without one. The fig
tires given is the record of two cows
at the lowa Kxperiment Station.
A common scrub cow purchased In
Arkansas was placed In the college dai
ry herd and given feed and treatment
the same as the purebred cows in the
herd. She -was mated with a pure
bred Holstein bull and the resulting
grade heifer in her first lactation
made a record that more than doubles
that of her scrub dam. The dam gave
2,839 pounds of milk within the year
and the grade heifer gave 4,704 pounds
of milk or 2,365 pounds more than her
dam. This increased flow of milk in
the grade heifer for the year was
worth $13.19.
Given a herd of ten such scrub cows
and placing a scrub bull worth S2O
with them, we should not expect an in
crease in their milk production. How
ever, if a purebred hull worth $l5O
were used his first ten heifers would
pay in the first lactation period a com
bined profit of about $l3O more than
the daughters of the scrub bull. This
amount represents the difference in
price that the farmer can affox'd to pay
between a purebred bull and a scrub.
The profit to be derived from a pure
bred sire does not end with the first
generation. There should be more
daughters and many more lactation
periods. The breeder Is also building
up a herd of uniform appearance and
superior production. What Is true of
dairy cattle holds true with other
classes of livestock. — (Ira W. Arthur,

They are 100 pounds heavier than my neighbor’s 2 of the
