profit than the pregnant cow or the bulling cow can pay, 

 and spaying the inferior cows the crop of calves will be 

 better each year, we all know. 



You may say Farmer Miles is a crank on spaying, but 

 that does not disprove his theory. He has spayed from 

 Bangor, Maine, east, to Southern California, and all through 

 the states, and as high as 1,407 at one place, has spayed for 

 men and firms worth millions, has spayed in England, Ire- 

 land and Scotland, of all ages and kinds. J. D. Gillett, of 

 Elkhart, Ills., had me spay 300 thoroughbred short-horn 

 yearlings one year, and the next year 500 of the same kind. 

 I thought that a great pity, but he said spay, and I try to 

 do as requested. 



I feel certain thrtt no man ever saw 800 finer beeves 

 than they made, bred, raised and fed by one man, on one 

 farm of 18,000 acres, in Central Illinois. Why cannot such 

 stock be raised, just as well as scrubs, by spaying up to it 

 in a few years time, and live on the fat scrubs for beef, un- 

 til the scrubs are all consumed, and this land as cattle 

 breeders be known as the wonder of the world. All make 

 both more milk and more money by judicious spaying. 



MISCELLANEOUS TALK TO STALLION OWNERS 



I was passing near Waterville, Maine, in a buggy 

 several years ago, with Dr. Wm. Fairbanks, V. S., of 

 Augusta, Me., when a voice was heard, " Hello there/" I 

 looked out and a man asked "is Farmer Miles there?" I 

 said yes sir. He replied, "drive in, I want to see you." 

 We were now at C. H. Nelson's Steed Farm. Mr. Nelson 

 said to four men "Boys, hook up Nelson, I want the great- 

 est castrater in the world to drive the greatest trotting stal- 

 lion in the world." Saying tome "Farmer Miles, Nelson's
