RaeiEgess its 33:1 4H FREksed HH HH HE §raZgsse freak polled cows and freak polled bulls produced nearly all polled calves, and the freak polled bulls and 'horhed cows produced about 50 per cent polled progeny. From this beginning the new strain or breed calied double standard Polled Herefords was produced. It Will thus be seen that double standard Polled Herefords are simply pure bred that are naturally free from horns or polled. They have all the characteristics and qualities of the horned strain, including bealth, vigor, prepotency, early maturity, foed- ng abilities, rustling qualities, prolific- acy, etc., and differ from them only in being polled. Since Polled Herefords are 80 easily produced by using polled bulls on horned cows, the breeders of the new breed have resorted very largely to that method, selecting the | very best horned Hereford dams and | mating them with polled bulls. The resulting progeny has been uniformly high class, and the blood lines most popular among horned Hereford breed- ers have thus been preserved prac- tically intact. Since there is such a widespread and growing demand from every man who has to do with beef cattle that steers and feeding cattle shall be horunless this new departure met with great favor from the first. Investigators tell us that horned steers are being discriminated against by from 25 to 40 | cents per 100 pounds in the feeder | markets of this country, purely on ac- count of the horns. Naturally, then, nish hornless cattle to supply this de- mand. dinarily high class in point of individ- val merit, for the reason that outstand- fog individuality is quite largely the result of careful feeding and favorable The demand for breeding stock has resulted in a | profitable scale of prices. Calves, Vd bg a comparatively high market y are more carefully developed and cared for than they would be were the demand slack and prices low. That few show records are yet avail- able is largely die to the fact that most Polled Herefords have been sold before they were old enough to be fully fitted for show. Many breeders against showing to a considerable ex- tent. A Polled Hereford bull was 'shown in Wyoming by the state exper- 'iment station in 1905 and took place in the regular Hereford class. ) 'have been exhibited at state and national shows with credit to the i g g | i Polled Herefords are more than or- | BARGAINS OF LIFE. 80 Long as We Live We Will Never Four children are huddled in a tiny room in a tenement.

TIPE IN STRONG DEMAND. for the other uses to which they are put. More scale would indeed improve them for mueh of their work on the road and in the field. If our reasoning is sound and the experience and observation of mule and horse breeders are trustworthy in an economic study on which they di- | rectly bear, it would pay the'general- ity of farmers in the mule belt to | add to the stature of their farm mares | with the special object of breeding | larger and better mules. One cross of draft horse blood would effect the | needed improvement. Bred to draft | stallions of standard size, native mares | would produce capital types from which to breed fifteen and sixteen hand mules. A second cross of draft | blood in some cases might be used in the interest of an extra big type of mule, but in the majority of ihstances the initial cross would suffice. It is ob- vious, therefore, that ip founding a big mule industry on a secure commercial basis the draft stallion must precede the mammoth jack. The Price of Sires. Good fleshy bulls have sold recently at $5 to $8 per hundredweight in lead- | ing markets. This means that the man who has bought, used and fed a | pure bred bull can sell him for more than enough to buy another one. An breeders are anxious to be able to fur. | 25¢d bull that brings $5 per hundred- | weight on the farm will pay for his | successor and more, too, in some cases. And yet too many cattle raisers think that a pure bull at $75 to $125 is away out of ht. Counting the im- provement made in the herd, the bet- ter quality and higher price of the cat- tle sold from it, the pure bred bull is about the cheapest investment in sight. Pure Water For Salves. allow calves to suffer for lack of fresh, clean water. Where ctlves are com- pelled to drink from stagnant ponds or foul troughs they cannot be ex- pected to do their best--in fact, they are pretty likely to become poor and suffer from digestive troubles. In a trial dt the Kansas station with thir- teen calves ranging from two to three months of age it was found that 868 pounds of water were drunk in seven days, or nearly ten pounds per head per day. It was observed at the same time that the calves drank many times, drinking only a little each time. Scours In Calves.
