Show 1 w NOTES. Livestock questions will be t welcomed, wel-comed, for then subjects of direct usefulness can be discussed. The pure-bred Pcrchcron cole, "Utah Diamant," owned by the Agricultural Ag-ricultural College, weighed 765 lbs. at six months. Nearly 'four pounds gain per day is not so bad. Utah air seems to treat the pure-breds all right. Try a few good ones. Horsemen in general -arc rejoicing over the establishment of so many breeding plants during the last year. The latest addition to these ranks, .is that of James Anderson of College Ward, Cache County, and Mr. Patrick Pat-rick of Ogdcn, who arc putting ten full-blood Shire and Clyde .marcs on Mr. Anderson's big farm. Four of tine marcs, all good ones, arc now at the place and the others will soon arrive. The use of scrub grade stallions is a mystery and the. only reason for the patronage they get seems to be the cheap service fee. H costs on the average, not far from $75 to raise a colt to four years. The scrub costs as much for feed and care as the good horse, so the account would be: Good Horse Scrub. Service fee $15. $ 4. Feed and care four years 70. 70. Total $85. $74. Selling price $150 to $225, $90 to $135. Doc3 not the $ii,go extra paid out in, sballion fee bring good returns? . . |
