'good  fortune  in  having  the  Hereford

for  the  year  for  quarantine  steers  at 
$8.o5.  Top  price  ever  paid  for  quaran¬

to  be  proud  of?  And  the  best  of  it  is 
this  is  not  anything  unusual  for  them 
to  do.  as  the  condition  is  nearly  the  same 
every  month. 
Kind  Disposition. — Besides  their  good 
marketable  qualities  there  is  one  which 
makes  me  like  them  better  than  any 
other  one  quality,  and  which  not  any 
other  breed,  as  a  breed,  has  to  such  an 
extent.  This  is  their  extreme  gentleness. 
The  bulls  are  practically  never  ugly.  In 
fact  I  am  yet  to  find  a  breeder  who  has 
ever  had  an  ugly  purebred  bull.  Here  on 
the  farm  we  turn  all  our  bulls  right  out 
loose  in  the  barnyard  every  night,  and 
let  them  run  together,  and  I  am  yet  to 
see  a  scar  on  one  of  them  made  by  light¬ 
ing.  Besides  this  you  can  go  right  among 
them  and  catch  them  anywhere.  Does 
this  not  mean  much?  Again  the  Here-  pure  blood 
ford  ox  is  admitted  onp  of  the  very  best,  bred  bull

Proportion  of  Pure  Blood  in  Grade 
A  heifer  calf  dropped  by  a  gn 
mother  sired  by  a  purebred  bull  is  rah 
to  maturity.  She  is  then  bred  to  a  pu 
bred  bull  and  drops  a  heifer  calf.  11 
near  purebred  is  this  heifer  calf?  A.  a, 
Morrisville,  Pa. 
1  he  offspring  of  a  grade  cow  and 
purebred  bull  would  be  held  to  carry  h 
blood  from  each  parent.  It  would  the 
fore  still  be  considered  a  grade  with  h: 
i  Such  a  heifer  bred  to  a  pu 
would  drop  a  calf  eontaini 
easy  to  half  its  blood  from  her  and  half  from  t 
mau  raising  sire  and  would  thus  be  held  to  car 
leers  has  no  trouble  in  mating  three-fourths  pure  blood, 
them  as  they  all  look  so  much  alike.  The 
man  who  wishes  to  raise  veal  has  one  of 
the  very  best  chances,  as  the  Hereford 
is  one  of  the  earliest  matured  of  the 
breeds,  which  means  a  well  developed 
veal  at  a  comparatively  young  age,  and 
thus  low  cost.  Prof.  Charles  8.  Plumb 
says  on  page  209  of  his  book,  “Types 
and  Breeds  of  Farm  Animals."  “In  early 
maturity  no  breed  excels  the  Hereford 
and  for  producing  ‘baby  beef*  it  is  of  the 
best." 
Perhaps  you  may  think  that  some  of 
my  statements  are  far  fetched,  but  let  me 
say  that  every  one  of  them  is  based  on 
experience  gained  here  on  the  farm,  or 
that  which  we  have  learned  for  a  fact  by 
mixing  with  other  breeders.  "We  started 
with  only  a  small  foundation  herd,  nud 
have  now  the  largest  single  herd  of  Hero- 
fords  in  New  England,  and  the  knowledge 
which  we  have  gained  while  building  up 
this  herd  has  caused  us  to  believe  that 
there  is  no  breed  on  earth  which  is  so 
ideally  fitted  for  the  farmer  in  New  Eng¬ 
land  to  raise  beef  as  the  Hereford,  the 
breed  which  stands  cold  Winters,  dry 
Summers  and  yet  makes  satisfactory 
gains  when  given  the  chance.

Amount  of  Butter  from  Cream 
I  am  sending  you  a  statement  of  cream 
to  sec  what  you  make  it.  1  had  175 
pounds  of  cream,  the  test  .32.  IIovv  many 
pounds  of  butter  would  that  175  pound’s 
cream  make?  ,j.  l. 
New  York. 
Regarding  your  problem:  175  .32  50 
pounds  of  butterfat  in  cream.  .S3  pound 
of  fat  on  the  average  to  make  one  pound 
of  butter.  50  .S3  07.4  pounds  of  butter 
possible.  This  would  mean  securing  a 
20%  overrun  figured  as  follows.  07.4  56 
11.4  pounds  overrun.  11,4  50  20%  over¬ 
run. 
This  is  perhaps  a  little  better  than 
would  be  obtained  under  some  farm  con¬ 
ditions  but  butter  made  should  be  05  to 
07  pounds.  u .  jt
