Opportunities  for  Beef  Production  in  New 
England 
Disused  Pastures. — To  you.  who 
own  an  unused  back  pasture;  to  you. 
who  owu  one  or  more  farms  lying  utterly 
idle,  and  lastly  to  you.  who  run  it  dairy 
and  have  discovered  your  expense  is 
greater  than  your  income,  who  have  been 
confronted  with  a  desertion  of  ymir  help 
in  your  busiest  season,  a  large  herd  to 
milk,  and  no  one  1ml  yourself  left  to  do 
if,  il  is  to  you  of  these  three  classes  that 
my  own  satisfaction  what  the  Ilerefords 
will  do  under  adverse  conditions. 
Stocking  Back  Pastures. — As  to  the 
practicability  of  stocking  these  back  pas¬ 
tures.  I  think  those  of  you  who  have  read 
my  former  article  will  agree  that,  the  rais¬ 
ing  of  beef  must  be  a  paying  proposition 
under  most  circumstances,  and  that  it  is 
bound  to  become  more  so  every  year.  As 
to  the  initial  outlay,  if  yon  own  the  av¬ 
erage  farm  herd  which  is  found  through¬ 
out  New  England  you  have  a  tine  founda¬ 
tion  to  start  with.  Simply  buy  a  pure¬ 
bred  Hereford  bull,  mate  him  to  your 
cows,  and  due  to  his  greater  purity  of 
blood  you  will  find  the  offspring  to  re 
semble  the  sire  much  more  than  the  dam. 
Yon  can  either  let  the  calves  suck,  or 
milk  the  cows  and  sell  the  cream,  and

A  Jersey  Cow  and 
I  wish  to  speak,  and  ask  you  to  consider 
the  following  proposition  with  me.  With¬ 
out  a  doubt  the  title  of  this  article  will 
attract  many  of  the  first  class,  as  of 
course  you  have  disliked  letting  that  pas¬ 
ture  lie  idle.  1  do  not  know  by  actual 
figures  how  many  of  you  there  arc  in 
Now  England,  but  by  travel  and  talks 
with  many  of  you  I  do  know  that  you 
run  into  the  hundreds.  It  is  a  fact  that 
there  is  hardly  a  town  in  which  there  are 
not  many  acres  of  unused  pasture  land. 
Could  not.  these  be  made  to  raise  beef? 
Perhaps  you  will  argue  that  they  are  too 
near  run  out,  that  the  cattle  do  not  do 
well  on  them.  To  this  I  say,  till  them 
up  vith  Ilerefords.  or  grade  Ilerefords, 
tlie  greatest  rustlers  on  earth.  It  is  an 
admitted  fact  throughout  the  West  that 
Hereford  will  do  well  on  ranges  where 
other  cattle  can  barely  get.  a  living,  and 
if  there  is  any  feed  at  all  they  will  get 
it. 
1  Ikkgeorps  as  Rustlers. — To  illus¬ 
trate  this  case,  let  me  give  a  little  exam¬ 
ple  which  occurred  here  on  Mnrston 
Stock  Farm,  in  Grafton  Co.,  N.  II..  dur¬ 
ing  our  very  dry  season  of  lftlJ.  \\  e 
have  a  large  GoO-aere  pasture  which  we 
fill  to  a  great  extent  with  outside  cattle 
such  as  are  found  on  the  average  farm. 
During  the  driest  period  the  water  got 
very  low.  and  of  course  the  grass  was 
dead  and  burned.  In  this  pasture  there 
were  about  100  head  of  all  kinds  ol  cat¬ 
tle.  including  two  pair  of  Hereford  steers, 
one  pair  of  pnrebveds  and  one  pair  of 
grades.  When  the  cattle  were  taken  out 
during  the  latter  part  of  October  the  ma¬ 
jority  looked  rather  poor,  and  the  own¬ 
ers  in  many  cases  were  dissatisfied,  but 
the  two  pairs  of  Ilerefords  were  hog-fat. 
In  fact  I  have  seldom  seen  fatter  cattle 
than  the  pairs  of  purebred?  were.  To 
strengthen  this  example  further  will  say 
that  wo  had  our  sixty-odd  head  of  pure- 
breds  in  an  adjoining  pasture,  where  they 
ran  all  Summer  with  no  outside  feed,  and 
under  exactly  the  same  conditions,  and 
were  not  taken  in  until  Nov.  14.  yet  all 
were  in  good  condition,  having  made  good 
gain  during  the  Summer.  This  proves  to 
Her  Dorset  Babies 
bring  up  the  calves  on  skim-milk  alone. 
The  bulls  you  can  make  into  steers, 
while  the  heifers  you  can  keep  to  replace 
your  cows  and  gradually  intensify  the 
Hereford  blood.  You  will  find  these 
heifers  good  milkers,  and  their  calves 
thieker-meated  than  their  mothers. 
Value  of  Steers. — As  for  the  steers, 
their  market  for  oxen  is  assured.  To 
show  something  of  their  demaud  will  say 
that  we  have  had  over  a  hundred  inquir¬ 
ies  for  steers  during  the  last  year.  I 
know  where  a  pair  of  steers  only  a  few 
mouths  old  sold  for  $100  only  just  re¬ 
cently.  We  sold  two  pairs  of  yearlings 
aud  a  pair  of  calves,  none  of  them  broken 
in  the  least,  for  $375,  last  Fall,  which 
entirely  sold  us  out  of  steers  so  we  have 
been  unable  to  supply  any  of  this  de¬ 
mand.  If  you  wish  to  beef  them  you 
know  there  is  always  a  good  market  for 
them  at  continually  increasing  prices. 
In  any  town  there  are  many  who  would 
be  glad  to  pay  slightly  higher  prices  for 
good  beef  when  it  is  raised  right  where 
they  can  see  it,  and  actually  know  what 
it  is.  This  we  know  from  experience 
right,  here  <m  our  owu  farm. 
Tub  Run-down  Farm. — Now  to  you 
of  the  second  class  I  wish  to  speak. 
Much  of  what  I  have  said  before  applies 
to  you.  the  greatest  difference  being  in 
your  original  investment.  Probably  the 
best  way  for  you  to  start  would  he  to 
buy  as  many  grades  as  you  could  afford, 
and  your  farm  will  carry  a  good  Here¬ 
ford  bull  and  one  or  two  bred  Hereford 
cows.  If  you  have  been  in  the  habit  of 
selling  your  farm  produce  you  will  have 
the  change  and  go  to  feeding  it  out.  This
