Leaving  the  Dairy. — In  due  time  we 
got  these  home,  but  instead  of  fattening 
thorn  we  decided  to  lot  them  raise  us  a 
calf,  and  then  beef  them  and  besides 
have  some  good  veals  to  sell.  It  was 
during  this  Winter  that  we  became  fin¬ 
ally  disgusted  with  the  dairy  business, 
deciding  that  we  had  been  slaves  to  our 
work  long  enough,  so  wc  got  out  our 
auction  bill,  announcing  the  sale  of  om¬

1907.  The  only  cow  kind  that  we  re¬ 
served  were  the  three  Hereford  heifers,  to

Live  Stock  and  Dairy 
Feeding  the  Cossets 
This  is  the  season  of  the  year  when 
young  folks  ou  the  farm  try  their  hands 
at  raising  orphan  farm  babies.  There  are 
little  pigs  and  lambs  or  puppies  which 
lose  their  mothers.  The  busy  farmer  and 
the  hired  man  can  rarely  take  the  time 
needed  to  bring  up  these  little  things  on 
a  bottle  and  the  result  is  that  many  of 
them  die  or  are  killed  to  get  rid  of  them. 
Sometimes,  however,  where  the  children 
or  the  women  folks  will  take  these  little 
fellows  in  hand  they  will  by  earing  for 
them  properly  make  big  lusty  animals  out 
of  them. 
The  picture  shows  how  one  farm  girl 
is  doing  this.  Miss  Bernice  L.  Tucker,  of 
Herkimer  County,  New  York,  is  shown 
feeding  her  flock  of  lambs.  These  little 
by  the  best  one  of  the  three.  When  all 
of  our  dairy  cattle  were  gone  and  we  had 
no  more  milking  to  do.  wc  naturally 
turned  considerable  attention  to  our  lit¬ 
tle  Hereford  herd,  as  we  bad  always  been 
used  to  cattle,  and  felt  lost  without  our 
usual  number.  This  condition  lasted 
throughout  the  Summer,  we  still  keeping 
the  Ilerefords,  as  they  were  no  trouble  or 
expense,  aud  they  were  raising  us  some 
mighty  fine  calves. 
More  IIerefqrds. —  In  the  Fall  we  de¬ 
cided  to  keep  the  Ilerefords,  as  they  had 
proven  themselves  very  easy  to  care  for, 
and  it  seemed  as  though  they  would  bring 
us  a  better  profit  than  to  sell  our  hay 
and  allow  our  large  equipment,  which  we 
had  when  we  were  keeping  the  dairy 
cows,  to  lie  idle.  In  consequence  we  be-

and  they  usually  no  it  verj  w 
they  can  have  the  animals  for  their  own 
to  dispose  of  as  they  please  without  any 
interference  whatever,  it  is  a  good  thing 
to  encourage  the  young  people  to  do  this 
kill'd  of  work.  One  of  the  meanest  things 
however,  on  the  farm  occurs  when  these 
same  young  folks  are  induced  to  bring 
up  a  calf  or  a  colt  or  a  lamb,  and  then 
sec  their  animal  taken  away  from  them 
and  disposed  of  without  profit  or  protest 
to  them.  It  is  a  good  way  to  keep  the 
girl  on  the  farm  when  you  interest  her  in 
this  orphan  stock  and  give  her  a  chance 
to  really  earn  it.

Part  III. 
First  Purchases.— It  was  during  the 
Fall  of  1906  that  the  first  evidence  of 
our  future  business  developed,  and  all 
unknown  to  ourselves.  It  was  at  this 
time  I  remember  seeing  the  auction  bills 
announcing  the  sale  of  a  large  uurobei 
of  Hereford  cattle,  aud  as  the  sale  was 
not  far  distant  we  decided  to  gu  mainly 
to  see  those  cattle  with  which  we  were 
totally  unfamiliar,  ns  we  were  dairymen 
at  the  time.  NY  hen  we  arrived  we  were 
greatly  fascinated  with  these  fine  white¬ 
faced  cattle,  the  like  of  which  we  had 
practically  never  seen  before.  Even  at 
this  time  we  bad  absolutely  no  intention 
of  buying  any,  but  before  the  sale  was 
over  we  did  find  ourselves  the  possessors 
of  three  bred  two-year-old  heifers.  W  e 
had  not  bought  them  with  the  intention 
of  keeping  them,  but  as  much  of  this 
stock  was  going  for  less  thau  the  pre¬ 
vailing  beef  price,  we  thought  we  could 
keep  them  a  little  while  and  then  turn

took  second  prize  at  the  New  Hampshire 
State  Fair  held  at  Concord  that  year. 
Securing  Uniformity. — Then  began 
the  work  of  molding  into  the  uniformity 
of  one  herd,  this  rather  piecemeal  bunch 
we  had  gathered  together.  This  work 
took  much  time  and  study,  as  we  were 
very  green  at  the  business,  but  it  was  in¬ 
teresting  aud  goon  became  remunerative 
For  some  time  we  never  considered  any 
other  beef  breed,  in  fact  hardly  realiz¬ 
ing  there  were  any  others  until  we  start¬ 
ed  for  the  fairs  on  our  first  trip.  There 
we  ran  against  herds  of  fiuc  Short-horns 
and  I  believe  a  herd  of  Angus,  which  had 
been  fitted  for  the  show  and  made  our 
grass-fed  Ilerefords  look  rather  small. 
Had  it  not  been  for  one  or  two  herds  of 
well-caved-for  Ilerefords  which  we  saw, 
I  am  afraid  that  we  might  have  been 
discouraged,  as  we  did  not  know  the 
tricks  of  the  show  ring  of  fitting  for
