TO FARMERS CODDLING MAKES FOR SUCCESS (Written Specially for The- Bulletin.) Some western becf-producers ere talking together, the other day, about their busines. Most_of them tock a pretty gloomy view of it, both as re- gards pregent profits and future pros- pects. . “Nothin’ in it, any more,” seemed to Be'ithe general’ verdict. All but that of just one ‘mam>He- said Httle till he'"was appealéd ‘to. Then $3 re~ marked, quietly, that he thought there was something to be got out of fat Cattle, still, “if only youwll coddle ‘em enough” e was fnding it that way, himself, and he rather thought that others might, too, If they'd only take the Same pains and give #he same at- tention. ‘Coddle 'em.” That was his advice ank! his only recipe for success. He explained that he began with his {as scon as they were born or as as he could get hold of them as He took their pedigrees andl phrase. It musto’t be a side issue. must be ‘the main thing.. It mustn’t be a matter for “chore-time” to be hur- ried through - then, in the seant in- terval beiween supper and dark, but a subject for all day attention’ and thought.” It mustn’t be a’ matter to ‘be ignored if other more préssing bus- iness calls for care and work: Tt must be:the thing for which everything else isball take second place, if something. has to. It In other words, if a farmer is going to stock he must make -stock his obby; he must devoie himself with his ‘whole attention” fo stock; . he must learn his stock till he knows it from each particular horn to each par- ticular hoof; he must nurse it and feed it and humor it and pet it; he must watch it day by day as a cat watch- €s_her Kittens That is, he must “coddle” it. Now | personally don't know enough about stock to be worth the telling. the youngsters had ‘the feed JA best calculated to develope their natiural growth, In the quantities and propdrtions best adapted for them to gain pzxcrflmhly on it- “Feeding and attention;¥ “Attention and feeding;” But this man’'s talk strikes me as rather ‘sensible, on general principles, anyway. Didn’t you ever notice that tite man or woman who has extra good-results from poultry is usually one who has a natural liking for fowls and, there- fore, spends a lot of time and fuss on them? these he declared to speil all the d!l- ference between profit and loss in, raising of ‘cattle, whether for /the !(\)ck-y‘.rdnanvfor the dairy. 1‘ “To carry on-the breeding of/ live- stock successfully the breeder’s whole attention must be’centered on the de- velopment of his, herd, whether grades or purebreds. A fine prospect ; must be developed from'the time of’birth. Some breeders can ;take calves from orginary cows and finish) them as beauties and sell them well They give the calf the feed and right atten- n!ovn Others oouldnntzkhe ‘calves with * fine prospects and the iko ‘grade scrub. - There i o ference that marks successior failure in the livestock business.” That's what he said, hxer,f to a re- porter who had heard of his’talk with the “other cattle .men”and iwanted to ind out some more. ‘The dreeder's “whole attention must be put on his work. Notice that. AFTER THREE YEARS ; _ dorwich Testimony Remains Unshaken, Time is the best test of truth. Here 8 a Norwich story that has stood the lest of time. It is a story with ajpoint’ vhich will come straight home toamlny of us. 2 .Mrs, C. Bennett, 46 Palmer St., Nor~ vich, sgys: “Some years ago one of oy family. suffered from backache.
