Devon Men Meet at Springfield, Mass. 
A meeting of breeders of Devon cattle 
was held at Springfield, Mass., on Feb. 
22, and an association formed to ad¬ 
vance the interests of this beautiful 
dual jiurpose breed. This as.sociation will 
be known as the New England Devon 
Ihcedors’ Association, and the officers 
elected are as follows: Pre-sident, John 
(JifTord, Itor-kville, Conn.; secretary and 
treasurer, I.eshi Gur, Hartford, Conn.; 
vice-presidents, E. N. Marshall, Han¬ 
over, N. 11., W. H. Waterhouse, West¬ 
minster, Ma.s.s., and Nial Bemis, 
Athens, Vt. Among the member.s of the 
new a.ssociation besides the officer.s 
named are, A. N. Perkins, Litchfield, 
Conn.; A. J. Holden, Keene, Ma.ss.; J. 
cattle were of the beef type, that the 
cattle were- originall.v a dair.v breed, 
whereas certain individuals had shown 
marked beef characteristics, and were 
the beginnings of families developed 
with an eye single to beef alone. So 
in getting au Angus sire we must steer 
clear of the dairy families, and buy a 
bull of distinct beef breeding. 
By purchasing .a few purebred cow,s, 
along with a liigh-priced bull, we were 
able to raise all 4be bulls we needed 
and supply the neighbors with young 
bulls at a reasonable figure, but even at 
the prices we charged for our young 
bulls, which we could easily get for 
Western shipment, the cost seemed too 
great for the ordinary dairyman with

The motto of tlie association is “Get to¬

Lovers of this beautiful breed, well 
called in their original home in Devou-

West,” will be pleased to hciir of a re¬ 
vival of interest in the breed, and may 
expect to f.ce a larger exhibition of them 
at the agi'icultural fairs this coming 
Fall than has been .seen in many years. 
3Iany readers of The R. N.-Y. have been 
asking whether you could plow with 
oxen, Avhether oxen were ever shod and 
lots of other questions about them 
lately. If they will attend the New

stone hauling contests and tlie trained 
steers they will have their questions 
answered and will understand why so 
many New England farmers have a 
warm pla(;e in their hearts for the 
“smart little red cattle.”

Beef-growing Associations Among Farmers 
. l 
We began breeding Angus cattle be¬ 
cause for a good man.v years we had 
been using an Angus .sire to raise beef 
calves from our grade Holstein iiiid 
Jersey .herd, and it was dilfictilt to pur¬ 
chase locally the kind of sires tve 
needed. The dairy cow is not a beer 
CdW, and in order to get good beef 
calves, we must u.se an outstanding beef 
sire. Tlie sire must be pure blood, in 
order to transmit his beef character¬ 
istics to the calf, and the cow must be 
a grade cow; otherwise if she wore a 
pure blood she would be exiictly as 
strong as the sire. The calf would be 
half beef and half dairy, good for neithei* 
]iuri;ose. 
We selected the Angus hrt*ed. because 
that breed had taken more prizes at the 
International Stock Show in the grade 
chissos than all the other breeds com¬ 
bined, for a number of years preceding 
our advent into the beef business (as au 
adjunct of our dairy business). We 
learned, however, that not .oil -\ngus 
a few cows. So we conceived the plan 
of renting. We found that many dairy¬ 
men prefer to pay good rental for the 
use of the bull for couple of months, 
as this rental would be no more tliaii it 
would cost to keep the bull a whole 
year. 
We could rent the bull to a group of 
farmers who owned together 20 or 25 
cows, for two months at $50. We found 
b.v planning ahead we could keep book¬ 
ings for practically the entire year, 
some farmers preferring the AVinter, 
some the Fall, and others the Spring 
and Summer months, for breeding their 
cows. The sniiill farmer likes Winter 
calves, wliile large hind-owners, who 
have a carload of heifers, prefer to have 
the calves come through the Summer 
months. 
The fee of ,$50 for two months would 
aiimuut to .$300 for the entire year; one 
half of this could be given to a .solicit¬ 
ing ageut, who would organize the 
neigliborhood groups, keep the bookings 
planned ahead, and investigate the 
herds for contagious or infectious dis¬ 
eases, such as contagious abortion. This 
would leave $150, which wtiuld bo 0% 
interest on ,$2500, and which would 
purchase an Angus sire witli a beef 
lineage tlmt would insure beef calves, 
even from any kind of grade dair.v cows. 
This form of breeding association on a 
co-operative basis would work as well iii 
building up a dairy herd as in getting 
beef calves from dairy cows; for $2500 
will purchase u sire that would be wortn 
while to get calves from. This plan 
would cost the farmers with 25 cows 
hut $2 a cow, aud give the organizer one 
Imlf of the service fee for his trouble, 
with the use of a hull worth the above 
price. G. n. SMITH.

His locality is the headquarters of the

a grcjit man.v “Portugec.s” who constitute 
the bulk of the farm help and also ftirm 
for thom.selves. There are both “white" 
jiiid “black” “Portugees.” The latter are 
genuine colored people but speak I’ortu-
