hox or parallelogram. The strong
points of the breed are its wide range
- '»f adaptability, unexcelled feeding
qua Hies, great size and unsurpassed
: cr°asln& qualities for the production
of high-class grades.
The Shorthorn gives a large car
cass ln Proportion to live weight
but the quality of the carcass, from
the retail butchers’ viewpoint, is not
1 quite equal to that of the Aberdeen
Angus. The meat is slightly coarse,
not so highly flavored and the fat
and lean not so well distributed as
In the Angus carcass. The weak
point of the breed is that they are
only fair grazers, being better adapt
ed to rich pastures and liberal feed
ing.
It Is probable that both the Short
horn and the Hereford, when on
short Southern pastures, will pro
duce somewhat larger and better
feeders to finish for market than
will the Angus, but the latter keep in
somewhat better condition and are
more likely to please the local buyer
when sold off the pastures.
In the grazing and mountain sec
tions of Virginia, eastern Tennessee
and western North Carolina, the
only parts of the South east of Mis
“—■ " m -
sissippi River where good beef cattle
are produced, the Shorthorn is by
far the most numerous and popular
breed; but in the other sections of
the South the Hereford and Aber
deen-Angus probably rank above the
Shorthorns in popularity.
This is an important point for the
consideration of the man who con
templates the breeding of pure-bred
beef cattle to sell as breeders, for
every producer should seek to pro
duce that which the market wants
most.
Formerly the Shorthorns were
rather large milkers, and many indi
viduals, and possibly certain fami
lies, are still producers of large
quantities of milk of fair quality.
Unquestionably the Shorthorns as a
breed are much better milkers than
the Hereford or Aberdeen-Angus,
but from a beef-producing stand
point this is little if any in their
favor, for the Hereford and Angus
usually produce ample milk to raise
their calves well. In recent years,
however, especially in this country,
the whole tendency of Shorthorn
breeding and selection has been to
the production of beef and it is now
mainly a special-purpose beef breed.
HOW TO FEED THE COLT
*»»e Matters Deserving «
The MOST critical time In the
life of a colt, In so far as his
growth and development are
concerned, is the period between
weaning time and when he goes on
pasture the following spring, as a
yearling. Indeed, this first winter is
of vital Importance In the life of the
colt, calf, or other animal In which
good size and development Is an Im
portant factor In determining Its use
fulness or value.
The colt, weaned at this season. Is
particularly likely to suffer. While
he Is getting his mother’s milk, food
especially suited to his needs. It U
less Important that he receive other
feeds adapted to his requirements.
Moreover, too frequently little at
tention Is given while he Is sucking
his mother, to teaching the colt to
eat the feeds he must live on dur
i,n* th* balance of his life. Under
these conditions It Is little wonder
that when he Is suddenly deprived of
his mother’s milk in the fall of the
vear. when pastures are dry or short,
he falls to make proper growth and
starts the winter In an unthrifty con
dition. The colt that falls to do well
Its first winter Is not likely to ever
entirely recover from it. That Is.
!nac elvn » ,1 I .. f_i_j . «
—~ ...... ivi urH*mpmpnr art*
usually permanent results. For these
reasons the colt should receive a
little special care at weaning time,
and liberal feeding during his first
winter. Before he Is deprived of his
mother’s milk. In fact, from the time
he is a month old, he should be
taught to eat those '-«ds which are
needed to secure his Proper growth.
If this be done before he Is weaned
the weaning from his mother’s milk
will not seriously check his growth,
as other feeds will be eaten to take
Its place.
The colt can not be properly grown
on corn and corn fodder alone, or
rorn nnd any of the grass hays. ’ At
least one half his hay should be from
some legume. If the other half of
the rough forage can he made up of
silage It will be advantageous, for
there Is nothing more important for
securing good digestion and rapid
growth In a young animal than suc
culence in the ration.
If one-hnlf. or all the hay, is some
clean, sweet legume, that has been
properly cured, then the grain ration
may be 1 part corn and 2 parts oats;
but if grass hay must be used, then
we would suggest a grain ration con

sisting of 3 parts of oats, 2 parts of
corn and 1 part each by weight of
wheat bran and cottonseed meal.
When these feeds are not available
or are too expensive, good results
may be obtained from good peavine
hay, and corn and cottonseed meal,
In the proportion of 8 to 10 parts of
corn to 1 part of cottonseed meal.
These should be, and usually are,
• available everywhere in the South.
When I used the tuberculin test
in my herd ten years ago and killed
seven animals, completely banishing
the disease, I was met with ridicule
from my brother farmers. An an
nual test for eight years has failed
to find a single reaction. Although
this policy has been worth thousands
of dollars to me in the sale of regis
tered cattle, very many of them can
not see it.—W. D. Hoard.
