| described, constitute all that need
receive consideration In this connec
tion :
Shorthorns. Red, white, red and
white, and roans, with rather Bmall
horns.
Here fords.—Red and white, with
medium long horns.
Sussex.—Red, with rather long.
large horns.
Aherdeen-Angtis, or Polled Angns.
—Plack, but some white on the under
line permitted; without horns.
Galloway-Black, with a brown
ish, or reddish tinge not uncommon;
without horns.
The Shorthorn, Hereford and An
gus are all largely produced In the
United States and are popular. There
Is little choice between the three
breeds, taken as a whole, for average
American conditions, where beef pro
duction of a high order is aimed at.
In the South possibly the Herefords
and Angus are slightly more popular
than the Shorthorns, outside of the
mountain districts. In the next two
or three articles we shall discuss the
“dual-purpose” breeds: Red Polls,
Devons, etc.
TIMELY TOPICS FOR STOCKMEN.
YOU MAY begin feeding silage as
soon after putting in as you
desire. It Is customary to wait
two or three weeks until the fermen
tation has taken place, but this Is not
necessary, providing sufficient Is fed
off the top each day to prevent It
spoiling. In warm weather probably
as much as two Inches should be fed
off each day, but In cool weather If
an Inch and a half Is taken, It would
be sufficient. The amount of silage
fed to a steer weighing 900 to 1,000
pounds should probably not exceed
30 to 35 pounds a day. In addition
to this, he should have a liberal al
lowance of some dry roughage.

It 1s a small matter, of course, but
we can not help wondering why so
many of our correspondents should
keep on writing about “thorough
bred" cattle and pigs and chickens.
There is a Thoroughbred horse, Just
ns there Is a Hackney, or a Percher
on; but there Is no such thing as a
"thoroughbred” cow, or sheep, or
pig, or chicken. What these cor
respondents mean, of course, Is
pure-bred—of pure breeding. “Thor
oughbred" Is the name of one breed
of horses and Is not applicable to lire
stock of any other kind.

than when the cowpeas, soy beans, or
peanuts alone are used.
It Is much the best economy to
furnish swine a grain ration when
they are on pasture, as It results In
better gains and a better product.
One man estimates that It takes from
one-half to one-third less corn on al
falfa pasture than on a straight grain
ration to make a hog ready for mar
ket.—Swine In America.

THE NEED OF HEAVIER MARES
ON THE FARM.
One of the greatest arguments in
favor of heavier mares on the farm Is
the great need of producing larger
and better mules. Every farmer
knows that a large, heavily muscled,
smoothly turned mule will sell for a
good round price without much effort
on the part of the salesman. Such
mules are not produced by light Thor
oughbred and Standard-Bred mares,
very few such mules are produced
in Texas, and yet there Is no reason
why we should not produce as good
mules as Missouri, and In much larg
er numbers. Such mules are the
products of mares of a large percent
age of draft blood bred to high-class
jacks.
The question of securing good
draft mares is not an easy one. The
solution of the problem for Texas
must be the mating of good, register
ed draft stallions to our native
mares, and thus, by a gradlng-up
process, furnish a foundation from
which either mules or horses that
will fill the highest market classes
may be produced.
Many farmers have mares with In
fusion of draft blood, which. If bred
to a good draft stallion, would yield
a good marketable animal. They
often make the mistake, however, of
breeding such mares to a representa
tive of one of the light breeds, with
the expectation of getting a fancy
driver, or saddle horse. The result
Is that they usually obtain a misfit—
an animal that does not possess the
quallflcatlns for any recognized mar
ket class.
The day has come in Texas when
every possible encouragement should
be given to a systematic improvement
of our horses and mules. Colt shows
should be held annually In every
county in Texas, in connection with
county fairs when possible. The
judges selected to award the pre
miums should be well qualified for
their work in order that the stand
ards set by them will educate the
people along the right lines. The
time is ripe for a stallion law in
Texas which will license only sound
and registered stallions for public
service. Improvement will be a slow
The chief objection which has been
offered to the working of brood
mares on Southern farms, has been
that the negro laborers will not take
proper care of them and will over
work them on hot days. This objec
tion Is destined to receive a severe
check In the near future. With the
coming of the boll weevil the close
personal supervision of the white
man will become necessary and then
he will he able to work mares as
well as mules. The days of the large
fnrm, owned hv the white man and
left to the farming of negroes, are
about numbered It will have to go
with the coming of the boll weevil.

The prospects are bright for an
oxceptlonnllv strong program for the
meeting of the Mississippi T,lve Stock
and Palry Association to be held at
the A. ft M. College, December 29
and 20. This program will be an
nounced In good time In order that
all mav know what to expect at this
meeting. No man Interested In the
production of live stock can afford to
miss this meeting. This Is the time
when all Interests demand a united
effort to foster the production of
more live stock.
