A. BREEDER TALKS SENSE. 
The four animals figured in Figs. 462 
and 463 represent $12,500. One of them, 
shown alone in Fig. 463, King Segis 
Pontiac Alcartra No. 79602, was born 
November 16, 1910. We bought him at 
a famous sale in June, 1911, where his 
price was started at $6,000; in a few 
minutes lie went to $9,000, and he kept 
bulls sell for $100 that ought to be 
killed, but just because they were regis¬ 
tered they must be good. Right here is 
where many a mistake is made; those 
$10 and $20 registered bull calves, I be¬ 
lieve, have done more harm to the dairy 
business than any other one thing that 
I know of, as they are mostly out of 
the very poorest registered cows, and 1 
know that many farmers with a grade 
herd would be much better off to buy 
a $100 bull calf than a $100 grade cow, 
1 have also seen some of our best

going up from that at $100 bids until he 
was finally sold to me for $10,000. The 
three heifer calves show a daughter of 
“Pledge SpofTord Calamity Paul,” a son 
of the great cow Dichter Calamity, who 
has a record of 32.40 pounds of butter 
in seven days. The dam of this heifer 
is a 26-pound daughter of llengerveld 
l)c Kol. We value this calf at $1,000, 
but would not sell her for that amount. 
The other calf is a daughter of the 
world’s champion four-year-old heifer 
that has produced over 34 pounds of 
butter in seven days. This calf is also 
valued at $1,000. The other heifer is a 
granddaughter of Pleasant Valley Kate 
2d, another great 1 lolstein cow. There 
farmers pay $100 and over for grade 
cow and $75 for a registered cow. I 
have known them to sell the calves out 
of that registered cow for $50 each, but 
still condemn the registered cow be¬ 
cause she doesn’t give any more milk 
than $100 grades. I honestly believe 
the time has come when it will pay any 
farmer better, and he will get more ac¬ 
tual profit out of 20 good registered 
cows than out of 50 grade cows with 
no more money invested, as in the past 
season grade cows have been selling 
for $100 and over, their calves selling 
for $3 each, where registered cows 
have been selling for about $250, their 
calves selling at $50 and more. Here

is no doubt that some of your readers 
will think that these animals are kept 
for ornaments, but J can assure you 
they are not, as they are here as a 
business proposition. First of all some 
will think: “How can he ever get his 
money out of that bull?” I am sure in 
saying that if lie lives two years he 
will not owe us a dollar. 1 have al¬ 
ready booked 20 head to be bred to 
him at a fee of $200 each. I also have 
bull calves engaged, sired by him out of 
some of our cows, as high as $1,000 
each; this means that before he is two 
years old lie will return $5,000, besides 
our own herd to be bred to him. 
I am glad to say that Orange County 
is coming, and some of the most noted 
strains of the Holstein breed can now 
be found here. It is nothing new to see 
Western buyers come here to look for 
a carload of good cattle, but still it 
seems hard to get some wideawake 
farmers interested in purebred stock; 
nine farmers out of 10 will give you 
the same story—“there is nothing in 
farming;” but why is it so? On dairy 
farms it is the kind of cattle that arc 
being kept in many dairies; 20 cows 
out of 50 are kept at no profit, and 10 
of the 20 arc actually kept at a loss; 
not even a registered sire is kept to 
raise and improve the dairy. It is true 
that there is many a registered bull 
that should have been slaughtered in¬ 
stead of using him at the head of a 
herd, but many farmers think as long 
as a bull is registered he must be all 
right. I have seen, at many auctions, 
comes the cry—“If we all had regis¬ 
tered stock we would not be able to 
sell them.” True, if we did, but just 
now as I am told there are only about 
three per cent of registered cattle in the 
country and it has taken more than a 
man’s lifetime to get them, so let us 
try to get the other 97 per cent regis¬ 
tered, and don’t think that any old 
registered cow will do to start with. 
Any man who can possibly afford to 
do so, will do much better to buy 10 
$500 cows than 100 $50 cows. This has 
proven itself true in every case that I 
know of. Most of the failures in the 
purebred line have been with the cheap 
man, where two cows were bought for 
the price of one, and this means double 
work and double feed for a single re¬ 
turn. JOHN - ARFMANN.
