PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
fOPULARIZING BEEF INDUSTRY
FOR SHALL GEORGIA FARMERS
We are pleased to note your edi
torial In regard to the cattle-breeding
Industry In Georgia, and particularly
the reference to co-operative owner
ihlp of aires, writes Hilton P. Jama
gin, Animal Husbandman, University
•f Georgia, Athena, Gs., In The Con
stitution. We have been advocating
this policy for the past two and one
half years before the State Dairy and
Live Stock Breeders' Association, two
meeting of the Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association, and in many farmers' In
stitutes In various sections of the
Btate. Your indorsement of this poli
cy should go a* long way towards pop
ularizing it and bringing It to the at
tention of many farmers In different
sections of the State, whom we have
not yet reached. The plan, as we out
lined it briefly, Is this:
We go Into a community, hold a
meeting to arouee enthusiasm, and
discuss the Importance of live stock
breeding, and where we can find own
ers of forty cows who are willing to
entertain such a proposition, organ
ize a club and get them all to agree
on the breed of cattle which would
likely prove most profitable under the
specific conditions. It Is essential
that there should be concerted action
in choosing the breed for obvious rea
sons, which will be discussed later.
This Is not always an easy task. Per
sonal likes and dislikes do and should
govern in this matter, but since there
Is such a similarity in characteristics
in all of the breeds belonging to the
beef type, if there is any feeling of
co-operation the minority are usually
willing to be governed by the desires
of the majority and a decision is thus
reached.
After the first club is organized we
go to the next community and per
suade the ewners of forty cows to or
ganize a similar cfcib, and so on with
a third» community. This group of
three clubs representing 120 which
are to be bred to, say a Hereford
bull, If It is a beef-producing centre,
or Jersey bull, if it is a dairy-produe-
Ing section, gives a desirable number
of animals for a satisfactory begin
ning.
A constitution and by-laws is
adopted and officers duly elected. It
is the purpose of these organizations
to raise funds for purchasing and
maintaining the sires. The college
finds the place where three sires, de
sirable as to pedigree aq.d individual
ity, can be secured and the prices that
will have to be paid for them. We
prefer the local societies to make the
final negotiations and purchase the
»nim»it After tfrftte sires are placed
In the various communities it will be
necessary to choose or designate one
man in each for keeping the bull
and it will be best for him to be as
centrally located as possible. Fur
thermore, be should be compensated
for his trouble and expense necessar
ily Incurred
The by-laws provide for each man
to sign an agreement to mate a cer
tain number of cows with the bull
each year, and furthermore, it has
been found more satisfactory for the
stockholders to agree to pay a service
fee of $1 and charge non-members
$2. These fees go into a sinking
fund for defraying expenses, and by
the time it Is necessary to purchase a
new sire they will have amounted to
a sufficiency so that It will not be
necessary to make any mora assess
ments.
The imperative reason for organ
izing three sach localities at one time
and purchasing three sires Is because
at the end of two years It will be
necessary to change sires In order to
prevent in-breeding. Past experience
has shown that after a meritorious
sire has been used in a herd until a
large number of his daughters have
come Into profit and it is no longer
advisable to continue him at the head
of the herd, in most instances it is ex
ceedingly difficult to make a satisfac
tory sale of him, so that each year
many tried sirea, with rent-paying,
profit-producing daughters meet an
ignominious end on the butcher's
block. This point ia frequently
reached by the time the bull Is not
more than five years old, whereas
with proper care he could be counted
on to do good service in improving
other herds for from five to seven
years more.
At the end of the first two years
tfie bnll In group No. 1 Is transferred
to group No. 2, the bull In group No.
2 Is transferred to group No. 3. and
the bull In group No. 3 comes to group
No. 1. At the end of four years a sec
ond exchange of this sort is made,
thus In each community for the cost
of one sire, which is to be paid" for ac
cording to the number of cows the In
dividual breeder is maintaining, pure
bred sires will be provided for a pe
riod of six years at the cast of one in
dividual.
It is not essential that these groups
or communities be located in very
close proximity, since the changes are
only to be made every two y^irs. the
PERTINENT POINTERS
Pigs should be sorted to size and
each lot kept by itself. This is not
much trouble and will enable the
little fellows to stand a better show
at the feeding trough.
Keep a pair of nippers handy te
snip off the sharp points of a sucking
pig's teeth.
Many small pigs are stunted in
their early growth because they can
not hold their own against their
larger and more quarrelsome brothers.
expense of shipping by ralKtwenty,
thirty or even fifty miles will not be
great. However, there Is an advan
tage In having (hem located as closely
together as possible, and that is. It
will simplify marketing. Where 120
cows are being bred to Shorthorn
bulls In one community, It Is only a
question of a short time before that
community gets the reputation of pro
ducing a good quality of Shorthorn
cattle. The reputation spreads and
other breeders from a distance will
soon come to this point for securing
animals for breeding purposes, and
the butcher buyers. In periods of high
prices, will go out Into the country
districts to make their purchases. In
order to cheapen the cost of market
ing, cattle should be shipped In car
load lots. If the car load consists of
animals uniform in age, size, finish,
color, conformation and breed type,
they will present a much more at
tractive appearance In the stock yards
and consequently they will sell at a
higher price. If all of the associa
tion, therefore, are located within a
radius of ten miles, these benefits
will be realized by the breeders; how
ever, this la not essential.
The descendants from the first
cross will be half-bred'Herefords, the
descendants from the second cross
will be three-fourths, and the de
scendants from the third cross will be
seven-eighths. The seven-eighths
Herefords. for all practical purposes,
will be approximately as profitable
meat producers as pure breds. On
the other hand, If It Is desired to con
tinue this co-operative ownership of
sires, though it Is not probable that
these original groups will continue
for a long time, there is no objection
to purchasing three additional bulls
of the same breed at the end of six
years. If this were done, at the end
of twelve years for the cost of two
sires In each community the individ
ual farmer would have his herd grad
ed up to the place where they would
be sixty-three-sixty-fourths pure. The
probabilities are that after pure-bred
sires have been used in a community
for six years the practical demonstra
tion of the advantages to be derived
from the use of good blood will have
been so clearly shown, and the indus
try will have developed to such a de
gree that instead of one entire com
munity buying a single sire, there
will be many individual farmers who
will buy one or more bulls for their
exclusive use.
A satisfactory sire will probably
cost |l5O, but this Is insignificant In
comparison with the returns he will
make. As with all other articles of
commerce and trade, cattle sell on
their merit, and the butcher Is alway«
willing to pay appreciaoiy Tnore for
good beef animals than for unim
proved "scrubs." This Is particularly
true, because the well-bred animals
give a higher dressing percentage.
The "native" steer, will probably not
dress out more than fifty per cent,
edible meat to the live weight, where
as a high-grade, well-finished beef
steer will easily dress sixty-two per
cent. On this basis a 1000-pound
scrub would give a carcass weighing
500 pounds, whereas the carcass of
the well-bred steer would weigh 620
pounds. Even If there was no differ
ence in the quality of meat, but both
carcasses were sold wholesale at ten
cents per pound, the former would
bring SSO, while the latter would
bring $62. On this basis the butcher
could and would pay $6.2 0 per hun
dredweight, live weight, for the infer
ior good steer. If, on this basis of
steers from registered sires selling at
»5 per hundredweight, it would not
be unfair to assume that the unlm
proved steer would sell at $4 per hun
dredweight. There is an additional
reason why the butcher should pay an
advance for the well-bred animals,'
and that is because if will produce •
more palatable quality of meat for
the consumer, and the consumer la,
therefore, willing to pay aj. a higher
price for It.
For the Bake of comparison, sup
pose that the bull is mated with forty
cows each year for six years and that
he sires thirty calves, or seventy-five
per cent.; in the six years he would
have begotten 180 calves. If they
were on the market as two-year-oldl
at an average weight of 1100 pounds
and sold at $5 per hundredweight,
they would bring $55 per head, or
180 head would bring a total of
$9900. A llflO-pound scrub steer at
$4 per hundredweight would bHng
$44. One hundred and eighty steers
would bring $7920, or a difference of
SI9BO In favor of the good sfrl.-ftThii
comparison would not hold true, be
cause by the time the high-grade steer
had reached the weight of 1100
pounds, the scrub steer would he
weighing probably less than 900
pounds, so that the net difference In
using the two classes of sires would
be much greater than is indicated by
the figures. Furthermore, the bene
ficial effects would accumulate from
year to year, because most of the
heifers will be retained as breeding
animals.
ON RAISING PlOfl.
The man who raises pigs ought te
have a field of peas into which they
can be turned just before the peas
become hard.
Sometimes they are as sharp as
needles and hurt the sow so much
that she will not permit them to
suckle.
Never turn very young pigs into
the field in hot weatner for more
than an hour or two a day until the
skin becomes toughened. X.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but

were raw all over, Inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my soro» were nearly
healed over, and by tho time I had
used the third bottAe, I waß entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
