When you drive to 
town, count the 
buildings covered with 
Ready Roofing 
The men who purchase roofing for 
railroad depots, large factories and ware¬ 
houses are shrewd buyers—they investi¬ 
gate and know. You, too, will make 
no mistake if you cover your home and 
farm buildings with 
Certain-teed 
(Quality Cerf-ified—DurabilityGuaron-feeJ) 
Roofing 
in Rolls and Shingles 
Its durability is guar¬ 
anteed for 15 years—it 
comes in red, green and 
slate gray shingles as well 
as rolls. Look for the 
Certain - teed quality 
label. Costs less —get 
prices from your dealer. 
Valuable Book Free 
You will find many valuable 
suggestions in our new book, 
“ Modern Building Ideas 
and Plans”—it tells you what 
to do—and what not to do—it suggests economies and 
conveniences that will save you money. 
A book of this kind would ordinarily sell for SI 
but as it shows the use of our Certain - teed 
Roofing on all kinds of model homes 
and farm buildings, we offer it to 
you at 25 cents. We prefer to have 
you go to your lumber, hardware or 
building material dealer, who will 
gladly get you a copy free. 
If you write us, enclose 25c to cover 
cost, postage and mailing.

FROM DAIRYING TO BEEF. 
I Owing to scarcity and high price of 
efficient laborers on the farm the condi¬ 
tions among dairymen are changing and 
must change very radically in the 
Eastern States. Why should we then 
not prepare to meet the inevitable? The 
change I refer to is that of milk pro¬ 
duction to beef making. I certainly be¬ 
lieve if half the attention would be 
given to beef production that the dairy¬ 
men receive, the cattle farmers would 
have more dollars to show for the labor 
than they now receive for their dairy 
products. I have been in the dairy busi¬ 
ness for 25 years, buying purebred cat¬ 
tle and manufacturing high-grade but¬ 
ter, cream and milk. I have had much 
pleasure, some profit, and no end to the 
amount of trouble, for want of more 
efficient laborers. When I first began 
the business, labor cost me about live 
dollars a month less than the present 
time, and purchased mill feeds, $10 per 
ion lower than the present prices. Yet 
the price of milk has not advanced ac¬ 
cording to the cost of production. In 
the last three years more than a dozen 
ot my neighbors who were well equip¬ 
ped for dairying have gone out of the 
business. Some exchange their straw 
for manure at livery stables, when the 
distance of hauling is not too great, and 
quite a number have gone into the busi¬ 
ness of fattening beef cattle during the 
W inter of stable feeding. From the 
advanced prices paid last Fall for stock 
steers for beef purposes, it looks evident 
that another field must be opened for 
this kind of cattle, and there is a very 
large acreage in many of the Eastern 
States that could be made more profita¬ 
ble by being put under a good pasture 
system for growing a high grade or 
preferably the beef breeds of cattle to 
be furnished on Eastern farms for 
home and foreign markets. The ave¬ 
rage farmer could grow all the rough- 
age, hay, fodder and silage and litter 
for bedding, and also most of the corn 
and oat$, and the only foreign feeds not 
grown on his farm would be either oil 
meal or cotton-seed meal. Both of 
these are very high in manure value 
after fulfilling their mission as beef pro¬ 
ducers. I believe a very large propor¬ 
tion of your readers would appreciate 
this beef subject well discussed through 
your paper by practical farmers, men 
who have made good in the production 
of beef. J. ALDUS HERR.

The Red Polls Win. —“Ordinary 
farmers” do not use full bloods. Most 
waybacks will drive 10 miles to use a 
scrub rather than to pay four shillings 
for the services of a full-blood. Most 
mils in service are little, stunted, pie- 
xild yearlings, but all over the country 
progressive men are grading up and 
succeeding. Geo. Carman, a neighbor, 
recently sold 60 grade Guernsey females 
at a rumored price of $100 each. He 
started with just ordinary scrub cows, 
and has used high-class Guern&v bulls 
always since I have lived here. His 
cows have paid for huge barns and silos 
and now he is on easy street The 
Waugh Bros, with the same breed and 
Bolt & Hughey with Holsteins have 
milt up productive herds. J. D. Sears 
& Son are using a Red Polled hull from 
my herd, and are winning, but they have 
some full bloods. The Bordens paid 
$500 for a Swiss bull of the same type 
as my other herd to grade up with one 
of their farms, but I have never placed 
any of the Swiss myself. Here in the 
valley some of my neighbors get my 
young hulls for a few weeks in Sum¬ 
mer and can show you plenty of beauti¬ 
ful Swiss heifers and grade polled 
cows worth about twice what the aver¬ 
age female of the same age will bring. 
A few Polled steers here are the finest 
beeves you ever looked at, and it does 
not take all the hay in the country to feed 
them either. People who use the Swiss 
bulls say a veal will bring two dollars 
more than the average, and have seen 
half-blood heifers sell at $75 each when 
ordinary cows were below $50. As a 
rule a man who goes in for well-bred 
and registered stock quickly drops all 
grades, and one who takes no pride in 
his cattle would better use the common 
scrub. Long vears of neglect and gen¬ 
erations of abuse have put the scrub 
cow where she can stand hardships that 
would put the carefully developed full- 
blood out of business, but where one 
will give the full blood or high-grade 
reasonable care she will heat the scrub 
about a mile for utility either in beef, 
milk, butter, or veal production.

They Keep It Up 
There are some cattle that give more 
milk when they are fresh than a Jersey, 
but there isn't any breed that gives as 
rich milk as 
The Jersey 
at as small feeding cost, nor is there 
any breed of cattle that will keep it up 
like Jerseys will, year in and. year out 
That's why you ought tobuy Jerseys to

HOLSTEIN CATTLE 
These are discouraging times for dairymen depend¬ 
ent upon average cows. Proceeds barely cover the cost 
of production. A cow that just pays her way is unpro¬ 
fitable. 
Yet there’s plenty of money being made in dairying to¬ 
day. Good cows turn deficits into profits and a man with 
purebred Holsteins is not complaining about bard times. 
Holsteins are the most economical producers of milk aud 
butter. They are large, healthy and easy to care for.
