Undersized and Undeveloped Animals
Usuafly Caused by Improper
Care and Poor Feed.
Nlggurdly methods of feeding nnd
caring for farm live stock are un
profitable. This Is one conclusion re

the United States Department of Agri
culture Into the causes and preven
tion of runtlness nmong farm ani

cording to- a summary of more than
700 opinions advanced by lhte-stock
owners, nre duo to inferior breeding,
Inadequate or unsuitable feed, and
pp&ts. such as pnrnsltes and Insects.
The remedy Is the better care of
better stock, and the cost of this
remedy, In the opinion of prnctlcnl
farmers, Is much cheaper than tho ex
pense of continuing to raise, under
sized nnd slow-mnturlng domestic
animals. "Better raise one good cow
than two poor ones a runt Is nothing
but expense all Its life." Tills opinion,

HIGH-PRODUCING DAIRY COWS
To Increase Productiveness of Herd It
Is Necessary to Begin With

Increasing the productiveness of a

Even this will not gunruntee offspring

to make results uncortuin. However,
the nverage will be as good as their
parents' and some will exceed their
