Affords Opportunity Gradually to Work Into Pureâ€"bred Business.â€"If there is a pureâ€"bred bull in the comâ€" munity it is an easy matter to pur chase one or two pureâ€"breg cows and soon be in the pureâ€"bred business. 7. Coâ€"operation Possibleâ€"If there are as many as four or five pureâ€"bred bulils in the community there is an exâ€" cellent opportunity to coâ€"operate by exchanging bulls, pooling cattle, etc. 9.

Pueâ€"bred Bulls Will Sell for More Than Scrubs After Their Period of Usefulness is Over.â€"A 2,000â€"pound pureâ€"bred bull is worth more for beet than a scrub which usually weighs 1200 to 1400 pounds. 12. Better Living.â€"The pureâ€"bred bull means more money which in turn makes possible better homes, better schools, better churches, better roads and a better and more satisfying counâ€" try life. 13. Good influence on Owner.â€"When a man has pureâ€"bred livestock on his farm he naturally takes more interest in it and feeds and cares for it better than he otherwise would. 14. The Farmers‘ Gain is Not Someâ€" body‘s Loss.â€"A farmer can raise a better calf and no one is the poorer. He thus creates wealth. 5. Creates a Demand for Our Local Pureâ€"bred Bulls.â€"The breeder of pureâ€" bred stock in Ontario are sometimes discouraged because of lack of demand for their stock. 11. Offspring is Worth More.â€"A calf is worth $5 to $10 more, a yearling $15 to $20 more and a twoâ€"year old $25 to $30, if sired by a pureâ€"bred bull. For Sore Throat Use Minard‘s Liniment 4.
