ADVANTAGES OF PUREBRED SIRE
Fourteen Reasons For the Use of Slree
ef Good Breeding and Individuality.
Clemson College, Dec. 22.?Never
before was the farmer in South Carolina
so serious about a serious matter
as today. Just how he can emerge
from a cotton-covered crysalis and find
bis land stocked with good hogs, cattle
and sheep is truly a difficult problem.
The quickest, cheapest and best
way to improve live stock is to invest
In the right sort of a sire and, having
purchased him, give him good feed
and care, says Prof. L. V. Starkey,
? - - ... . i tt?u ? a ?... n;
Chief of the Animai nusuauuij j-?iTision,
who makes the following brief
suggestions in the form of fourteen advantages
of a pure bred sire of good
breeding and good individuality.
1?Economical and Rapid Improvement:
One pure bred sire will improve
the herd as rapidly as 50 pure
bred females.
8?Lasting Influence:
The value of a pure bred sire is
not seen entirely in the first generation
but continues in the following
generations.
Fewer Sires Necessary:
One pure bred sire properly managed
will do the work of four
crub sires as they are usually
managed.
4?Advertisement Valuable:
Well bred stock attracts the at
tention of buyers.
^?Demand Created For Our Local
Pure Bred Sires:
The breeders of pure bred stock
in South Carolina should be en#?nnrflred
bv a good market for
r"~-o? -? ? ?
their breeding stock.
?Opportunity to Work Gradually
Into Pure Bred Business:
If there is a pure bred sire in the
community, it is an easy matter
to purchase one or two pure bred
females and soon be in the pure
bred business.
7?Co-operation Possible:
If there are as many as four or
five pure bred sires in the community
there is an excellent opportunity
to co-operate by exchanging t
sires.
Pure Bred Sires More Valuable
Than Scrubs After Their Period
of Usefulness is Over:
A 2,000-pound pure bred bull is
^ worth more for beef than a scrub
which usually weighs 1,200 to 1,400
pounds.
?Prepotency Important:
A pure bred sire will sire individuals
more like himself than like
the dam. This is due to concen??v..
- -1 trated blood lines.
10 Increased Value Through Uniformity:
Buyers will always pay more for
a uniform carload of livestock
than for a mixture of scrubs and
purebreds.
11?Offspring Worth More:
A calf is worth $5 to $10 more, a
. yearling $15 to $20, and a two,
year-old $25 to $30 more if sired
by a purebred bull.
1S?Wealth Created:

body's loss, for a farmer can
raise a better calf and no one is
the poorer. Pie thus creates
wealth.
IS-rGood Influence on Owner:
. When a man has purebred lirestock
on his farm he naturally
takes more interest in it and feeds
and cares for it better than he
otherwise would.
14?Better Living:
The pure bred bull means more
money, which in turn makes possible
better homes, better schools,
better churches, better roads and
a better and more satisfactory
country life.

exposed. They should be wrapped'
or otherwise protected when carried
to the field and immediately cover-j
ed with a shovelful of soil when distributed.
Methods of Pruning at Planting.?
Correct methods of pruning should be ;
carefully, employed; otherwise, the
hcpe of the tree might be completely
destroyed. At planting, ali .broken,
bruised and otherwise damaged roots
should be removed, and the tree in??J

For apple, pear and plum trees two
years old, three to five well branched,
remove the central leader and all outer
branches back eight or ten inches to
outside buds. One-year whips of apples
and pears should be cut back to
single stem of 24 to 30 inches, and oneyftar
whips of peaches and plums
hould be cut back to single stem 16
to 18 inches. One-year cherry whips,
hould be cut to ?4 to 30 inches high,
And two-year cherries should be cut ,
to three to five laterals and a central
leader each eight to ten inches.
Two-year grapes should be cut to
two canes six inches above ground,
two or three buds each. Muscadine
grapes, two years, should be cut to
three to five canes six to eight inches
above ground.
