concise presentation of the sali

different from the dull, prosaic

the United States, attracted the
attention of educators every

general favorite in the school

that more copies of it are sold

that it is the only school history

Talking with C. A. Wallace
yesterday, who is an importer
and breeder of Holstein stock,
we were more than ever convinc
ed that his is “the right idea.”
Last week W. W. Spaulding of
Portland slaughtered five head
of half-grade Holstein steers tak-
yn fresh from pasture on J. B.
Knapp’s farm. The steers were
raised on grass alone never hav
ing been fed a mouthful of grain
and were as good as any stall-
fed beef ever killed. Two of the
steers, 3-year-olds weighed, live
weight, 297(1 pounds, 2 2-yr-olds,
2790 pounds, and a 20-months-
old steer, 1200 pounds. The net
weight of the three largest, is
2400 pounds and of the five,
3790 pounds, nearly 55 per cent,
of the live weight of the cattle.
These cattle are an example of
enhanced profits from breeding
good common cows to a pure
bred bull of superior stock in
preference to the too common
practice of using scrub bulls for
that purpose. As it is, in this
instance, these Holstein steers
brought their owner at least $12
more per head than they could
have been sold for had they been
from scrub stock.
