Every cow in your herd is 
a milk-making machine— 
the quantity of milk de¬ 
pending upon her being 
properly and abundant¬ 
ly fed. The more 
International 
Special

she eats—and she will 
eat all you can give her 
with relish and good 
digestion — the more 
milk she will give. 
And more milk means 
more money for you. 
Photography in Live Stock Keeping 
Why don’t more farmers have cameras? 
They ought to. I believe the average 
pei-son thipks i>icture making is a long, 
hard, complicated process. It isn’t. It 
takes more bz-ains to raise KK) bushels of 
corn to the iicre than to make a .succes.s- 
ful photograizh. I have wonderz'd if the 
live stock man really knows the immense 
pulling power of a good clear picture of 
the iinimals he has for szile. My e.xperi- 
eiice in S'dling poulti-y was like this: 
Along in the Fall befoi-e tinze to adver¬ 
tise and befoi-e bad weather came oiz, I 
made photograizhs of my S. White 
I.<*ghorn cockerels. I tried to get as true 
as possible the t.\ pe zind gzmei'.al appt'.-ir- 
ance. 'J’hen when the in(|uiries to my 
Big Extra Profits 
are shown by the In¬ 
ternational Special

This bolds good with all faian animzils. 
When the inqztiier has before his fztee 
an zictiial photograph of the jinimal he 
wiints. he is in a jzositiou to make an 
intelligent di*cisiozi, :ind it is geizerally a 
favorzibb' one for the advertlsz'r. 
Miztiy have the idzai it is too expensixe. 
Is it? I.et’.s sec wlmt it costs, to have 
the town photogi aplu'r come out and 
woik yourself. Now what camera s’hall 
I buy? What size? Pei’sonally I pi-e- 
fer the plate camera of 4x.5 or po.stcard 
size, as prints fi’om this size may be 
slipped in a letter and no bother for 
extra wrapping. The film caiziei-zi is all 
right and is vei-y popular, hut it luis the 
double disadvantage of high cost of films 
and inaliility i)roi»erly to focus the sub¬ 
ject. There i.s more or less uncertaint.v 
whether the pictzzi-e is in sharp, clear 
focus. This is not so with the plate in¬ 
strument, as the s'ubjeet may he seen, 
just as it will sippear in the fiizished pic- 
tui'e. 'I'hen if one must use film, the 
plate znachine zziay by the use of a filzzz 
pack adajzter be izistautl.v coziverted izzto 
a film ciizzzera and y<nz can focus before 
zziizkizzg the expzzsizre, too. So I would 
uzzhesitatizigly reconznzezzd the jzlate 
cazzzeia for really good work. I do not 
Siiy the filzzz cazzzera will izot do good 
woz'k. Sozzze are so nzade :zs to take a 
plate adapter, allowing the use of plates 
.or filzzz :zt will, but there zire some Jid- 
ju.stments on the plate znachizze that cazi- 
not he used ozz the filzzz instruzizezzt. So, 
gezzei'ally speaking, it is largely a zzzatter 
of taste. 
If ozze cazz fi.x izp a dark roozzz so as to 
use jdates thz'.v will be much cheaper, 
costing pi'actically one-half as much as 
film, azzd is izz some respect zziuch siz- 
pcz'ior. As to the amount to expezid, 
th.at is up to the individzzal. A izbzte 
outfit that will do excellent woi'k can be 
had as low as .^'10 or azzd a filzn 
Oizzizerzz about the sazize, dependizzg ozz the 
quiility. Oftezi a good ■second-hazid out¬ 
fit znay he picked up for a few dollaz-.s. 
It will i)ay, however, to get a zm'dium- 
pzdeed one, as it will alwizys give better i 
z-esults. i
