Good Rama Used
The result of this year's work ae far
as the data have been compiled checks
with that of last year. The ewes used
were such as Is gathered together by
spring lamb producers of Middle Ten
nessee and In most cases had been
raised In northern Alabama, on the Rim
V f
Middle Tennessee. The rams used were
the best that could be obtained. They
were of excellent conformation for the
f 4 d f , , h
marketed $1,438.37 worth of lamba, and
have 89 lambs left to market the latter
part of May or the forepart of June,
and the principal part ef their feed
has been obtained from winter grown
forage.
and not on a speculative basis.
"Wlhen go.l parebred bulls can be
bought, as they can now, at a very
cheap price, some men continue to use
a scrub bull on the theory that cattle
are too cheap to Justify the small ad
ditional outlay( necessary to secure a
good purebred sire. On the other hand,
the careful business farmer finds that
he must economise In every way possi
ble In order to show a profit at the
end of each season. This man knowa
1 that the use of a purebred ball enables
him to produce more economically be
cause the calves from a purebred
sire mature at an earlier age on
less feed than the progeny of a scrub.
They are more attractive when sent to
nitirket because they dress a higher
: percentage of choice cuts, so this man
practices economy by putting more
money into the Initial cost of a bull.
i
Good Time To Start In Purebrede
"1 find many more stock farmers that
are enquiring after purebred with
a view to laying the foundation of a
' purebred herd while it can be done
without a very large outlay of cash.
The agricultural colleges and experi
ment statioiitf and the livestock piess
are constantly calling attention te the
fact that the purebred sire is an econ
omy in the process of production.
"We need not fear an over produc-
tion of good stock, but rather we should
le fomented as to whether we will be
aMe t supply the demand for gc-J
