One breed may be especially adapted to a certain purpose, or a certain | farm, or a certain section of the coun try where another may be entirely out of place. The answer to the frequent- ly asked question. “What Is the best breed of beef cattle for the South?” cannot therefore be given by naming any one particular breed. The Shorthorn breed is well adapt ed to the South, but they are not as early maturing or do not graze as well as do the Herefords. They are the largest of the beef animals, and some of the Individuals show strong milking tendencies. On a farm where the pas ture grasses are well developed and too much effort is not required to get a sufficient amount to eat, It would be difficult to find a breed of beef ani mals which would surpass the Short horn. Hereford Most Popular. The Hereford breed Is now probably the most popular in the South. In size this Is one of the largest breeds, ranking next to the Shorthorn. From the standpoint of the average fanner the weakest point is their inability to give a sufficient quantity of milk to nourish the calves. On account of ex ceptional vigor, rustling ability, a thick coat of hair, and temperament, the Hereford has taken first place as n grazing animal. Owing to their vigor they nre often capable of securing a liv ing from pastures which afford a limit ed amount of grass. No breed of beef cattle equals the Hereford for with- se, yi 1 / A Southern Herd of Herefords of Good Quality.

He slays the lion and tiger with his bare hands, the jaguar He s at his terrible cry, the massive elephant fears him. The dreadful gorilla and stealthy panther are but babes in his hands.

ALL WORK GUARANTEED standing the unfavorable conditions which always accompany the range system of farming. Hereford bulls, as well as those of the Shorthorn breed, when crossed with the native cows of the South and Southwest, have produced good grade calves. The Aberdeen-Angus Is not as large as the Hereford or Shorthorn, but does not fall far short of the weights reached by the two larger breeds. The cows are usually fair milkers. This breed Is vigorous and has remarkable rustling ability well suited to range condii Ions and Is therefore well adapt ed to the South. The Galloway breed has never been extensively Introduced into the South. A few herds, however, are found In Texas. The animals of this breed are extremely hardy and nre well suited to the ranges of the Northwest, where food may be scarce and where winters are severe. Red Polled Breed. The Red Polled breed represents the dual-purpose type In its true form, as the typical cows yield milk liberally and fatten quickly and satisfactorily when dry. This breed is well suited to the South, and a southern farmer who wants a cow that will yield a good flow of milk and at the same time mise n calf which Is acceptable from the beef standpoint will not make a mistake by selecting the Red Polled cattle. They are hardy generally and reasonably good grazing animals. Cattle of the Devon breed are won- derful rustlers, and will keep In good condition on pastures where other beef animals eould hardly subsist In some sections of the South the Devons have become popular because of their ability for grating during the summer months and making use of the rough feeds and native grasses during the winter. They are quick. Intelligent, attain good site (though their growth Is a little slower than other beef breeds) and stand the heat well. For these reasons they are exceedingly popular In the timber sections and the lumber camps of the South. There Is | no breed which make work oxen rj , perlor to the Devon.

Experience of Some Individual States Is Worse as Well as Better Than Average for United States— Kansas Is Illustration. (Prepared by the United States Depart- Í ment of Agriculture.) A single farmer in a single year Is in a gamble with nature; nil farmers in a long period of time can depend on a certain average of experience. This aspect of the farmer’s efforts to produce a crop is a subject of inves-1 tlgation by the bureau of crop esti mates. Observations with regard to yield per acre cover 52 years for eight prominent crops, and shorter periods for five more crops of importance. To show how susceptible to Jolts this yield is, percentages of increase or decrease from year to year have been computed. The Oak Tan Shoe Store MODERN PROGRESS The most wonderful achievement of modern timesis the crossing of the Atlantic in 30 hours by airship guided by YANKEE GRIP Sweet Potatoes Most Stable. The most stable crop of the 13 Is sweet potatoes, for which the greatest change In yield per acre from one year to the next In the whole period under examination is 15 per cent, as an average for all states. Above this crop are rye with 22 per cent as the maximum, hay 29 per cent, rice 30 per cent, winter wheat 34 per cent (including acreage abandoned on ac count of winter damage), barley 41 per cent, buckwheat 42 per cent, cot ton 47 per cent, flaxseed 52 per cent, oats 53 per cent, corn 61 per cent, •potatoes 65 per cent and spring wheat 83 per cent. - On turning from the’ greatest varia tions from uniformity in yield per âcre in a single year to the average change of all years.
