STICK lO OSK BKKKP. of Mind In lireeOinm Live Stock 1- Katl U> Success. As the landscape speeds pust while one travels by road or rail, it is di- appoiotinc to se<3 a ilifferent breed or cross oi cattle on ; .ictically every oilier farm. This i-.v.etice eaiiscs more loss to ihe Hvc block industry ihan any other, owin* lo its almost universal adoption over very lar;;o areas. Not only ia it a ^reat natioiiiil loss, but it never sets mi 1 individual farmer who adopts ii, anywhere iu-a.r success. Neither does ii give any in- spiration to his t;i mi.' to stay witu au industry that is lancinating, health? and prontablt. nnen under- taken where pure-bred t-c ly bred herds are kept. It a person would make up his mind as to wliti breed of animal was desit\d. and then use the best sir*- available for that breed there would be a possibility of. greatly improving the bi <!. There is a fickleness o: mind with, many farmers, and the> :<iilow it by switching from one bmii of bull to another to head their l.i-rds. They are rarely able to tive a li-'tinile rr^- sou for their separate chon-i s. or what they expect from the opi-i ..uon. Many o the prevailing populiii- ideas ex- hibit a lack of knowledge as lo where the crosin of breeds wi'l land. This lack of knowledge is . the inort: remarkable sepiny that lhTe arc hun- dreds of eases in any cminty or sec- tion to show tlat it means reirogrrs- sion. rather than piogn^s. Th writer visited a mriii lately whcr a farmer tried the "in und out" game between the dairy and beer breeds of cattle. He had a herd o ,good useful yradi.' dairy cows, and wht-n the boom cume to beef cattle, duriiis the war, he used a Shorthorn bull on thesip dairy eows. Before he reached anything delinit'; ihe price of beel had dropped and tultk was coiu- niandius a more profitable price. He is now using a ^'-.-v pooi si>eeiui<>u ot H Holsteln bull on the- crosses the boe bull gave him, and the progeny are miserabl'! speci:m :i*. that will pro- duee neither milk nor bn-f. The results oi tinkering wii'u dit- lerettt breeds always ends In a mon- ^red herd, neither goou to look ai nor profitable a! I ho pail or t'eed lot. The first genorntuin of a cross may prove satisfactory, but carried be- yond the flrst gpiHTfttion it Is Inevit- ably A failure. A farmer cannot keep two pure-breeds profitably for t,he purpose of crossim;, when ihe prog- eny are unsuitable as breeding cattle. If a man has a fancy for dairying, he should choose the breed which ap- peals to him and best nils <he <\- mands ot the market he intends to i supply, then always use a tT<l sire I of that breed, nnr! carefully select ; the heifers which arc to be i ' in tho breeding herd. It Is j found to bo much more irontuble to [stay with one breed than to be r< ^ f linually switching. Every stockiran should aim .. r i;r provine his lieH or Hoc It. and u- t)f> EMBLEMS!
