SUPERIORITY OF PUREBRED LIVE STOCK SHOWN BY RECENT INQUIRY

In Breeding for Dairy Cows It Is Jniportant to Have a Purebred Sire —He Represents Half the Valpe of the Herd Prom a Breeding Standpoint.

(By D. S. Burch, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture.) Purebred live stock Ims about 40 per cent greater earning power (apart from its breeding or sale value) than scrub stock. The superiority of purebreds on a utility basis is due principally to: Belter conformation ami Quality, Increased production, more economical production, and earlier maturity. When purebred sires are used to improve farm live stock the offspring is

The foregoing are a few results of, a recent inquiry conducted by the bureau of animal industry, TJ-nited States Department of Agriculture'. The figures are based on nb'diTt 25,000 head ' of breeding stock owned by 525 experienced live-stock owners. Besides, the same persons owfi 30,(W0 fowls on which the .poultry results are based. All of these stockmen have for several years—an average of nine—used pure- : bred sires- to heud their herds and Hocks. , ; Figures Are Conservative. The figures mentioned were obtained ; during the last part of 1921 in a peri- jod of marked depression in the live-'; stock industry.. Partly for that rea-_, son they are considered conservative even though pointing to an unusually high value of purebreds over c-vu- . men stock. . The pfirpose of obtaining this new information was to siipply an increasing demand for facts of greater scope than single short-time observations. With the development of the FederalState campaign for “Better Sires— Better. Stock" the Department has received an unusually large number of requests asking wliat purebreds call do for tlie man who does not aspire to become a specialized breeder. "What can I expect from purebred

A Purebred Sow sires, or from jiotii [liirebreil sires and daiiis, as a utility , o.ition?” That is essentially what scores of thoughtful people want to know. • “Superiority -of Purebreds. The superiority, based on utility, of purebred over common stock” is evident from the following ligures: , Superior Earning , Power. Class Per cent. -Pairv Catjle 47.8 Poultry .T..., 40.7 Swine ...i...... 38-3 Sheep ;;..r-......' 37.s Horses 87.2 Beef Cattle 88.8 ■ Goats ~..36.8 Average for all rlaiovs rwelghted) 40.4 The relatively hMmeaaattgSg JffiErresenting the eurning power of wellbred dairy cuttle and poultry over' scrubs are explained doubtless by the greater facilities for keeping produc-, tlon recprds* of these classes of live stock, thereby contributing to tbelr Improvement A Profitable Investment. -Wie. a.ve.i'.agtwrviiiu.'te.d Ascrgiise In financial returns ft-piii 'live-stock operations. traoeaWe to tlie use of purebred sires, was 48.0 per cent. This result Includes the returns from both the sale of breeding stock and of animals and products for market. The data appear to show exclusively that well-bred animals are good property not simply for the experienced breeder hut for every farmer willing to give •L-

them the proper care and opportunity to prove their worth. The bureau has abundant evidfencs corroborating this belief. One farmer relates tiiat the impelling force which prompted him to acquire purebreds was tlie need for more income. He reasoned that’ownership of purebreds was not the proverbial wealthy man’s diversion, but the poor man's necessity. He obtained the best foundation stock within his means and gave it good care; It increased his returns 100 per cent. Tire inquiry show’s that for the most part purebred animals of good typ* are readily obtainable. But special requirements or a desire for the less common breeds generally involve som difficulties and higher prices. About 98 per cent of the purebred live-stock owners reporting to the Departme'nt iVere satisfied both with the purebreds themselves and the progeny, except When they expressed the desire for still better stock. As one breeder explained, the desire for improvement is necessary for progress. A few had unfortunate experience with purebreds of inferior quality and pointed out the need for making selections with great care. Practically all reports agreed on the principle that superior quality among purebreds themselves is invariably worth a higher Cost. Numerous sidelights on the raising of improved live’stock under practical farm conditions and through different periods, including last year’s period of depression, have been obtained from the reports. Following is a brief sum-

Character, Soundness and Uoou conformation mary of the study to be dealt with more fully in a circular which the Department Is preparing for publication. Summary. 1. Based on utility alone (entirely apart from breeding or sales value! purebred live stoeL xias an earning power from a third to one-half greater than scrub stock. The average superiority of purebreds over scrubs for a'_ glasses of farm animals is about 40 per cent. 2. Os the principal points in which purebreds excel other stock, the mo,st prominent are: Superiority and uniformity in conformation and type, greater-sale value, greater and more economical production, and earlier maturity. 3. Surplus purebreds are readily salable at .satisfactory prices in a majority of cases ; but sales ; and: prices depend largely on the quality of stock as shown by breeding and production fecmvls, .also on the business ability of the breeder. 4. With rare exceptions, purebred*6irfe users are satisfied with the "quality of the offspring obtained, except that the desire Is created In many cases to further improve the qualify. 5. The progeny of purebred sires has practically a 50 per cent greater sale value than ffie progeny of .nonpurebreds. ' • 6. _ Purebred sires of good quality are - readily obtainable in the expertence of rhree-fourths of the breeders reporting. The principal difficulties are: Paying the price and findiiffg the desirable type, but there Is practically unanimous agreement that the results . justify, -the. .cost..* —,... —,—.-—<—i— —~ 7. The average Increase In financial returns, from live-stock raising, traceable to tlie use of purebred sires Is 48 per cent. 8.

Os the chief Influences which r , aus"..farmers-xa oeedhTe breeders- of piirem-ed live stock, the. three foremost are: Beading agricultural periodicals and bulletins, general observation, and county agents. 10.

HOW TWO WOMEN ESCAPED OPERATIONS Doctor Advised Use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound

Happy Results in Both Cases

St-Joseph, Missouri.—“ Both of my sides swelled and hurt me so that I could not move or do any of my work. There was heavy pressure, and pains through my lower organs and the doctor told me to try Lydia E. Pirikham’s .Vegetable Compound for these troubles. He said I had this one chance, and if the Vegetable Compound did not help me nothing but an operation would. After taking several bottles I felt it was helping me and now I am able to do my own work. If my testimonial will help others I shall be glad for them to read it and hope your Vegetable Compound will do them as much good as it did me.” Mrs. Wm. Lockman, 513 N. 4th St, St. Joseph, Mo.
