A STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL BOY
AND GIRL
Zeb Powers thought he knew all
he wanted to know about purebreds.
He had seen reckless fellows in his
section of Illinois put all their money
into purebreds, and had later at-
tended the sheriff’s sale and seen the
neglected animals sold at farm-cattle
prices. That was enough for him;
and when th® college professor, the
county agent, the livestock associa-
tion man, or anybody else began talk-
ing about the advantages of better
stock, Zeb gave him a cold shoulder.
But when Billy and Betty got to read-
ing up on what other boys and girls
were doing in the community with
corn, pigs, or calves, pop just had to
listen. He argued with them and told
about cases he had known in which
“tricksters had put purebred stock
through the ring on fake bids to get
free advertising and cach suckers.”
He had even heard old Si Slocum and
Uncle Peter Tumbledown make the
charge that the university fellows
were hired by slick sellers of pure-
breds to help them bunso the far-
mers.
MOTHER STRIKES A GARGAIN
Then Billy and Betty woud make
further inquiries and talk it over with
mother, who perhaps was grieving
over the fact that Molly and Bob,
long dissatisfied with slovenly farm
work, had gone to town, one having a
$15-a-week factory job and the other
driving a team for a contractor. She
had a real heart-to-heart talk with
father, and finally got him to let Billy
have old Brindle’s calf and Betty the
runt pig out of old Spot’s puny litter;
and if they “were silly enough to
think there was anything in all this
club stuff, maybe this would help to
get the foolishness out of their
heads.”
Needless to say, Billy was the first
one up the morning after the an-
nouncement. He and Betty attended
to their new treasures long before
any of the regular chores were done.
Betty gave the old sow some nice ex-
tra feed and got on such good terms
with her that the sow was satisfied
to let Betty see to it that the strong-
er pigs in the litter didn’t lick the
platter clean before Runty got his
turn. After that square meal, the
first the luckless little chap had been
able to get, his tail began to get
kinky, and in a few days had de-
veloped a genuine curl. This was a
case of a fellow needing a friend, and
(he responded to his better treatment.
The bull calf that had fallen to
the lot of Billy hadn’t been playing
in much better luck than Runt. Old
Brindle was supposed to be the fam-
ily milk cow, but except during a
short period after freshening the
children hadn’t had all the milk they
wanted and mother had always had
to keep on hand a supply of con-
densed goods to mix with it for the
cereals and sometimes to keep from
drinking black coffee. The hay that
couldn’t be sold and the straw stack
were about all Old Brindle had to
make milk on during the winter and

la skimpy bit of so-called pasture that
was too hilly, rocky, and stumpy to
plow came as near as she had a
chance to be ‘knee-deep” even in
June. The calf’s daddy was a 1,000-
pound 6-year-old that a farmer kept
for freshening his own cows and let-
ting to his neighbors at “six bits” a
service.
THE COUNTRY AGENT CALLS
Mother knew that pop was “dead
agin” the county agent because he
knew that it was just one more
scheme of the politicians to make a
job for some feller that ought to be
doing honest work, and that it was
another plan to increase taxes. She
contrived, however, to have him stop
long enough one day to talk things
over with the children. At first pop
was anything but cordial, but began
to get interested when the agent told
him he knew a farmer who would be
glad to pay him $50 more than the lo-
cal buyer had offered for a little
bunch of shoats and another man
was looking for just such a pair of
yearling mules as he had, to put with
a bunch he was feeding for market.
The agent saw at a glance 40
things that were keeping father a
poor, downtrodden, shiftless farmer,
but he was wise enough to go slow on
suggesting a rotation of crop, alfalfa
a dressing of lime or tile draining,
and a lot of other things in addition
to improving his live stock. He re-
frained from saying anything about a
silo on that visit, but he did say he
could let him in on a car of mid-
dlings that some neighbors were
getting at a price much below Tom
Feedsby’s figures.
The county agent ventured a few
other suggestions that would not in-
volve much outlay, and father after-
wards told mother the fellow actually
seemed to know something about far-
ming. Some side talks with Billy and
Betty resuted in Runty, the pig,
catching up and then passing his
brothers and sister, and the calf get-
ting to look better than any other
that had been on the place.
The agent hadn’t the heart to tell
Billy that the calf would stand no
(chance at the county calf-club show
and felt that better results would
come from helping him to do the
very best he could with what he had
to work with, so he arranged for him
to make the entry. His feeding and
calf’s coat, and after he had used the
clippers on his tail and sandpapered
his little upstanding horns, he
thought the calf surely looked like a
winner. Rube Mossby’s children came
pig they ever saw, and Minnie Rook- |
furrow and Tommy
wanted to know ail about what Billy
to know how it would come out.
A LESSON FOR BILLY

’
a sire jointly, or
care had given quite 1 on internally and acts through the Blood
g 4d a gloss to the on the Mucous Surfaces of the System,
over and declared that Brindy and
Runty were he best-looking calf and Sols Lavucul We Donegels hit 1 have

around the calves were lined up, and interested get busy.
Billy was surprised, and, of course, at once if interested as I propose
disappointed to find that his calf had selling these
to stand next to the last one, and in- consist of 69, 8: and 89 acres of
deed it was a frouzled-locking calf limestone
that stood with its little ewe-neek Realtor, Mt. Joy. "4
THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, U. S.A.
and its funny-shaped head hung low.
Billy saw that the judge was per-
fectly right and not only told him
so, but asked him if he wouldn't tell
him what was the matter with his
calf. The judge was glad to have him
show such interest and pointed out
that in his judgment Billy as a feed-
ier and caretaker had really done very
well, but he could not hope, with a
calf bred as it was, to compete with
those that not only had as good care
and feed as his calf, but something
besides—good breeding. He showed
him that Brindy, while having an ex-
aggerated paunch, was sharp-
shouldered, had very little meat on
his ribs or loins, and was too long
legged. He carefully went over the
black, the white, and the roan calves
above him, showing their good points
as well as their weak ones.
This was a real lesson to Billy, and
it is needless to say that it was a
much more valuable lesson to father,
who the next year bought him a high-
grade calf and was as proud as he
could be when his son won the blue
ribbon and a trip to the International
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago.
Betty’s runty pig also opened father’s
eyes, for the youngster “got in the
money” with him and he said, “Next
year you can have the best instead of
the poorest pig, and if you come out
all right I may buy a bred sow of one
of the good breeds and let you raise
her pigs on the shares.”
BETTER STOCK MEANS BETTER
HOMES
As a rule, better stcck means bet-
ter homes and better homes better
stock. There are expectations, of
course, but when you think of the
one it is very likely that you think
of the other also.
Even if you are making no effort
to grow high-grade stock or pure-
breds 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 farm. 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 of purebred animals.
There are some men who make really
good returns by handling good grade
animals in an intelligent practical
way.
The thoughtful farmer knows that
the only profitable animal is the well-
cared-for animal. Many a man who
is not at heart very kind has learned
the lesson—so far as cattle are con-
cerned—that the exercise of con-
sideration and gentleness means the
saving of dollars. Very few men are
mean enough to be mean when they
know it hurts their pocketbooks.
Anyone*who gets the notion that it
pays to give the best possible atten-
tion to the animals he has, even if
poor, will not need much argument
to convince him that better-bred
stock will yield him still better re-
sults.
CAN INTRODUCE GOOD SIRES
ON FARMS IN MANY WAYS
«The cause of inferiority among
live stock, cattle, sheep, hogs, horses,
and even chickens may be summed
up briefly. They are:
1. Lack of purpose in breeding
operations.
2. Failure to use good blood.
3. Indiscriminate mixing of dif-
ferent types and breeds.
4. Lack of good care and
management.
In inaugurating the “Better Sires
—Better Stock’ crusade, the United
States Department of Agriculture
fully recognizes the obstacles to be
met and overcome. There are few
today who believe a serub is in any
way equay to the purebred or bet-
ter-bred animal. The purebred,
paricularly the betterbred, animal is
rapidly finding a place on farms
where heretofore the less desirable
kind were raised. Those who _pre-
viously were growing scrubs are
growing good stock, while those who
previously kept good ones are now
growing better kind.
Good sires may be introduced in
many ways. but among the more
practical are:
1. Individual ownership.
2. Copartnership owmnership
where two or more farmers purchase
3. The agricultural organization,
club, farm bureau, or community-
ownership plan.
Good results are seen everywhere
from cooperative efforts along this
line. »
The communities as well as in-
dividuals’ that have become most
noted for the animals they have pro-
duced are those that have selected
just one breed, and only one. While
no one would attempt to tell you the
breed you should keep, yet success
comes only in a large way to the in-
dividuals and communities who have
adopted one breed rather than two
or many. To work out this plan
successfully the individual likes and
dislikes will have to be overcome or
minimized. Where this has been
dome, marked progress has been
made.
