Fooling
Himself !
This skinny critter is busy
at making himself believe
be is a fat steer ! But his de
lusion is no more complete
than that of the farmer who thinks he saves money
vby raising cheap scrubs. These days, when the mar
gin between feed cost and selling price on the hoof is
uncertain, there is on y one economical kind of steer
the pure-bred. His superiority over the scrub can be
measured in size, in quality, in pounds of beef for
pounds of feed consumed and finally in dollars on
the credit side of the farm ledger.
In a series of advertisements in
this newspaper, we shall demon
strate that pure-breds make the
beef for which the packer pays
the highest price. They are your
big money-makers when the
market is up, your surest source
of profit when it drops.
For this publicity in the interest
of pure-bred beef cattle, we are
indebted to The Country Gen
tleman. I f you arc now a reader
you know its frequent helpful
articles on better beef cattle,
and its many fact-stories, of
successful farrners who have
prospered from the steadily in
creasing demand for pure -bred
breeding stock.

The Country Gentleman en

present general mortgage is not
shown.
Dates when the several bond is
ruts now in existence will fall due

i'or that purpose.
T!k limit of I '-rd' d indebtedness
for the corpnr.it ion is $'5:;j.0it0.000,
and this would bn excluded if the
