A Minnesota breeder In Kittson county raises four classes of live slock cattle, horses, swine, and poultry. He owns a purebred bull, hut uses a neighbor's I'erc.heron stal lion and also a neighbor's purebred Uar. To obtain poultry or improved breeding he purchased eggs from a breeder of standard-bred fowls. Another live stock owner in the same county slates in a letter to the United stales Department of Agriculture: "I do not own a pure bred bull, but all cows ure bred by a neighbor." In these cases the quantity of farm live 'Stork kept was relatively small and under such circumstances the arrangements stated are both simple and practical.
