DARK (PAUL II. SP1LLMAN) Pure Breed Sock Shorthorns Most breeders of pui toreed stork sturted out in the stock business with ordinary stuff. Mutny of them used grade sires, but their herds did not improve as they wanted thorn to, they may have he their own, but that is not enough for a progressive stock man. To him his herd must steadily improve, to come uny where near what hi expects of them, and he realizes that better blood must be added to improve upon what he already has. Some time or another he becomes ate" and buys a pure breed sire, pays a price that shocks the rest of the mid causes all the minrhlwr shake tfieir heads and "wonder what is going to happen next." With some men the mext thing that happens is that he begins to "crave the unadulterated article," in other words, a herd of iptire breeds in place of his grades Once again he 'becomes rash and invests in one or more registered females, and in the course of a few years finds himself one of the well-known breeders of the community, and if he has particularly good stuff, his reputation' soon spreads, over the county and often over the entire nation.

The above roughly outlines in a way how G. G. Tat of La Grande, started into the pure breed cattle and hog business. Pure breed Shorthorn cattle and Berkshire hogs are to Mr. Taal's mind about as good a "make" of machines for converting the products of the farm into the finished article, as ever "walked on four legs.

Rut it is the cattle that interests us the most just at present. It lias been the object in Mr. Taal's breedoing operations to select his an imals, for individual merits and not alone on the strength of pedigree. Because an individual has a good (pedigree does not aiways make for individual excellence, but on the other hand outstanding individuals always are well lneed. It was in his search for- individual excellence that Mr.

Tall seki.ed herd headers and females from the herds of such breeders as W. 0. Miner of lleppner, A. D. Dunn of Wappato, Frank Brown, of Carlton, W.

J. Townlcy of Union, The Chalmers herd of Forest. Grove and others. His herd bull which he purchased of W. O.

Miner, is Orange Junior, by Orange Bloom bv The Baron. His dam was Welcome of Meadow Lawn 0th. While such names as Alexandria Maid, Important, Yord Bnpton, Royal Mark, Crown Stamp, The Marquis and other well-known names are found in the breeding of various of his animals. "Quality first," has been the motto of this breeder and price has been a secondary matter. Cow Testing Association Cow testing associations are being organized in nwiiny parts of the country and are doing a world of good in getting at the business end of daiiry- I ing.

At the present time a move- ment is under way to organize an in this section. The plan 1 to include dairy herds the Grand'. Ronde valley. The County Agricul turist of this county is cooperating with the writer in working on this association. To form a cow testing association 1 20 herds are necessary and at least 400 cows must be entered.

The 20 herds ure necessary so that the tester can put in that many days each month, spending an entire day at each place. The 400 cows are necessary so that enough money will be secured ion the basis of $1.50 per eow a year, to cover the. cost of hiring the tester, buying sulpplies, and other things necessary to carry on the work. The main purpose of a cow testing association is to enable its members to find out accurately, which cows in their herds are the money makers and which are the boarders. Complete records are kept by the tester on each and every cow in the herd.

Many dairymen say that they are entirely able to do this themselves, and have the best intentions, when saying this, to test their animals. They may even go to the expense of buying a testing outfit, and carry on the work for several months, but the Inumber carrying on this work systematically through the whole year is insignificant. More over, it is really cheaper to have the work done than to do it ones self. It would take the aver age farmer a long time to become familiar enough with all the details to do the work as well eis the tester docs. Through the cow testing association, a man is hired to do this testing and record keeping monthly, and he docs it, regardless of whether it is the busy time of the year or not, and at the end of the yean it is known definitely of every cow whether she is a profit maker or a boarder.

Tnere are many other advantages i resulting fhom a row testing association. It crenfo on in dairy- ing in the community could lie secured in no other way. It cncourair-ip'. dairymen to market their product jnot :ow.s. auy any necessary lv nc It raises the tli giiorl iows while it doe? i'r thf butcher mine of poor It creates a demand in the co'n- i ir unity fnr calves from dams with good records.
