GOOD QUALITIES OF THE HERE-
FORD.
Herefords stand alone in their abil-
ity to convert rrsss into high class
t^-ef. They mature at an ear.; r age
than other cattle. R.-.ng the most
(j ^ of the "'*©\ :ie i-  . they take
on flesh more readily and give belter
reauUg In f**d lots or pastures than
th. rr j r«-sentat;\ es of  ny r,t er breed,
writes Ov. rton llan « ,n the Breeder's
Gcrette. B^lns; uniform in <oior, they
rr.ake market stock that catches the
eye of the yard buyer. Depositing
their flesh on those parts of the skele-
ton from which the highest priced
n-.eatj are cut, the back and loin, they
are «pe;laily popular with butchers
and killers.
Since fat and lean are blended in a
Hereford carcass more evenly than in
any other beef animal beef from it
has a juiciness, a flavor and a tender-
ness not to be found in any other
breed. Herefords are the kings of
rustlers. Their record on the ranges
of the west and their achievements in
corn belt pastures stamp them as the
fittest of all breeds to thrive under a
such specimens it is more than offset
bv the increased superiority of the an-
imals as beef mode's "White face™
cows are the best of mothers. An over-
whelming majority of them give plen-
ty of milk proper . to r.ilse their
calves. What '■ w - . se <" w? I have
for my show cattle are Here ford*. If
a man wants more milk in a herd ol
Herefords he can soon get it througli
breeding; if he wants the highest type
of beef animal he can select it fr.-ra
established herd-.
The scramble to ir. #.-4«e the supply of
hogs is r.ot likely to pt " i ice - slump
in pork. Ti e shortage in l og produc-
tion can not e mule up In a sir.glS
season, nor In two.

wide variety of conditions. Since they
lead all breads in rustling qualities it
is r a'ural that thej should also stand
fir«t as regards health, constitution,
vigor aad prepotency. Essentially an
outdoor breed, Herefords are the
healthiest cattle in the country. This
means resistance to the common dis-
eases which make success with other
breeds difficult and in many cases im-
possible.
