BETTER STOCK; BETTER FARMER THE MAN WITH SCRUB rUKEBKEPS The one who thinks nil he novds to do to acquire fame and wealth is to buy a lot of pure bred cattle, hogs, horses, or sheep, and then proceed to let then shift for themselves will soon earn the reputation of "the man with the uiH..sir ble purebrt-ds." He will find that his wealth is not the kind the banker will recognize. ing the bent to tho best." It is well known thut a good cow, for example, bred to a purebred bull will usually produce ft jrood cnlf. It b fllno well known that a better bull bred to a better cow will produce a better ealf, and this applies to other klmlu of live Btovk. It wuh to emphasize this Import ant pructico that tho United States Department of Agriculture, in co operation with the different Mate agricultural colleges, inaugurated the "Better Sires Better Stock" crusade to raise the general quality and usefulness of our animals. Nut only the scrub sire is to be elimin ated but the undehlrnble sirt as well, even though he is a purebred.

C As a rule, bet ter stock means better homes and better homes better stock. There are exceptions, of course, but when you think of the one, it is very like ly that you think of the other also. Even if you are making no effort to grow high-grade stock or pure breda you are apt, after taking more pride in your home and your build ings, to take better care of the or dinary stock on your form. An ex pert can get better results with less fuel from an old and poor heating plant than a slipshod person will get from a high-grade outfit. The most money is not always made with the highest grade or purebred animals. There are some men who make real ly good returns by handling good grade animals in an intelligent prac tical way. The thoughtful farmer knows that the only profitable animal is the well-cared for animals. Many a man who is not at heart very kind has learned the lesson so far as cattle are concerned that the exer cise of consideration and gentleness means the saving of dollars. Very few men are mean enough to be mean when they know how it hurts their pocket books. Anyone who gets the notion that it pays to give the best possible attention to the ani mals he has, even if poor, will nt need much argument to convince him that better bred stock will yield him still better results. In the more progressive communi gions of the United States there are men who have stock that is bred well enough but has been bandied in so shiftless a way that the animals might just as well be scrubs. In some of these case's the advent of an "up-and-coming" neighbor has work ed a change of conditions. In the more progressive commun ties organizations county breeders' associations, extension workers of umversities, and county agents have worked wonders and produced splendid results. Boys' and girls' live-stock clubs have been able to bring reforms that no other agency could reach. Oc-aional!y the old er men who have never had very good ways and have become set in them are reached only through the kiddies. , About the first thing that may be done toward getting better stock and better homes is to check up on conditions as they are and see the many ways in which they may be improved. But most people are not able to make the most of what thev have. A man who lets his buildings and fences fall down, pays no at tention to rotation of crops, lets his manure leach away into the creeks, forgets or neglects to feed and care for his stock regularly, and lets his wife go out to pump water and split wood is apt to instill into the minds of his children tho idea that nobody is ever a farmer who is smart l 1 1 . - . enougn 10 oe anything else. On the i-"U 1 l -. uiiier uanu, one who maps out hi course and lets no season iro without making some improvements in his way of doing things will sure ly find himself getting Letter ani mals and gaining in self respect an importance, not only to himself but to the commuity as well. Gradual, continuous live-stock im provement has been practiced 'for many years by the most successful live-stock farmers everywhere Im proving live-stock grading up, el iminating the scrub, etc.-is merely following the practice of these suc cessful men who for years have been keeping the best and "breed- 'our ye$ BamiiKi AND GLASSES MADE AT HARTMAN BROS.
