Only the Best is Worth While.

Lafayette Journal. The sale of Hereford cattle at the McCray farm near Kentland yesterday is a revelation as to what may be accomplished by the persistent, scientific breeder. Here is a man who is able to command an average price of more than $1,200 a head for stock that costs no more to raise than does the steer that sells for SBO. Jt is a wonderful lesson for the farmers of Indiana. Of course, they cannot all be McCrays in the cattle world, but they can greatly improve the value of their stock and add much to their incomes if they will-but-rea-lize that only the best is worth while. Fancy prices are being paid continually for high grade animals. Like efficient men in the business world, tnere never seems to be enough to supply the demand, with the result that they always command a handsome premium over the odrinary kind. It is worth while to specialize, no matter what you are engaged in. There is not only the sense of gratification at the material reward but there is the satisfaction of having d me your work well and this should be the thing to receive most consideration. And to think that Warren IcCray wanted to give up such a work to be governor of Indiana. He is doing a greater work now for the people of the United States than half the gov-e-rifors in it. It is a real man’s work to develop the possibilities and the resources of the country and in his field Mr. McCray is making a wonderful success, of it and is justly entitled to the generous reward which results from his effort.
