| Show Bree breeding dind pure bred stock in utah by C S ADNEY orinne corinne utah grand opportunities awaiting utah bleeders breeders Bre eders box elder in the van rare itaro opportunities S await the breeder of pure bred livo live stock on the utah farm when we recall however that it is but sixty three brief years since abe first settler landed in tile the then wilderness of what is now the great commonwealth of utah we wonder that such gigantic strides have been made in the breeding of fine stock in tile the old countries of europe centuries have been occupied in the breeding of improved strains of live stock men have grown old and grey have handed down to their children and they to their children the grand and over ever fascinating v work ork of breeding some one line of fine stock anti and a persistency and tenacity of purpose has been pursued wit winch ich has rarely been observed in the united states by breeders bleeders bre eders in these old countries a breeder would be shocked at the mere suggestion of cross breeding or of mixing blood lines of two different breeds but ith us s americans there is the ever persistent tendency to mix mix with the result that we are constantly breaking down and obliterating the work which it lias bas literally taken the best brain effort of the lie old countries centuries to lo produce and with the final result that we are constantly having 0 to pour out a stream of gold into the laps of the european breeder for a replenishment of our foundation stock A question was once asked of joseph win g what is the highest priced land that can be successfully cess fully and profitably pastured T and in reply he said tile the highest priced land ob arved by me whereon live stock was successfully pastured came to to my notice in europe where they were pasturing two hundred dollar dolar land producing live stock to sell to us americans and they were growing wealthy at it tile the day will come when we ave will not only catch ca up with them but we will forge ahead to a point of superior breeding and they will vill be found coming coining to america to replenish their heir t stock the almost spectacular work of the late colonel hallowell in breeding clydesdale horses in kentucky is yet fresh in the memory of tile the live stock men after a few years ars of careful breeding breedin of clydesdale horses on the limestone lands of kentucky E en tucky lie he loaded up the fruits of his efforts and exhibited them in the mother country capturing their blue ribbons rauch much to the chagrin of the Scotch men nien and tile the english breeders bleeders bre eders but so captivated were they that they would not let the best of his exhibit be taken away from their laud land but with their keen recognition of merit purchased the horses aud and retained them for breeding purposes just what part the presence of the several minerals found in ill plant food play in the Imil building ding up of bone and muscle in animal growth lias has lia s not yet been definitely determined but it lias has been well 1 established that tile the presence of lime halts baits combined with phosphorus plays lays a mighty knighty role iu in the huil building dino of 0 strong clean flinty bone awl anil of covering the same with massive muscle in the intermountain ter mountain country particularly iii utah we are supplied with the greatest r t eanest bone anti and muscle build in t fond intensely rich W in the mineral salts which build the fine bone and great muscle so characteristic of the utah litah horse men have marveled and wondered how we ve get such enduring quality the answer is not lot far to reach given the blood lines hues the environment and food make tile the rest I 1 once was told by a veterinarian who had charge of a large construction companas comp anys horses li that the horses purchased by them from northern utah wore one third longer than missouri river horses that is to say eastern horses two of these utah homes were equal to three of f the others perhaps nowhere on all this broad earth are horses subjected to such a crucial test and alloi finally literally worn out as they are in a
