‘The beef producing industry is
taking hold of the farmers of the
iBulkley valley.. It promises tobe

Ethe main industry. In an. effort
ito start the farmers right the
a Herald will publish weekly ‘arti-
‘cles taken from “‘Beef-Raising in
Canada’ published by the Dom-
inion Agricultural. department. |

The destiny of the bullock is
the block and after that the table.
Between the cattle raiser and the
table is the market’and it is the
demands of this that must guide
he stockman in his effort to pro-
miuce the most valuable bullock.:
BThere is- another consideration’
mio be. forgotten and that is the
minterests of the breeder and feed-
@er, Itia through the medium of
the bullock that touch of the crop
is marketed so that much of his
success as a marketing medium
Bdepends upon his thrift, or in
Mother words, his ability to con-
sume large quantities of food and
eto convert the maximum of this
Zinto a valuable marketable pro-
Miduct.
in the description of an ideal bul-
lock to consider him from the
_ Standpoint of the breeder ‘and
Safeeder as well as from that of

mthe butcher, who sets the value
gepon the animal from the sort of
carcass it wil] yield.

- In order to produce a highelass
Bpbullock the breeder must possess
a mental ideal of his object and.
@ework towards that model.

side the top and bottom lines of
the body run: practically parallel,

with the: ack ‘quite ‘level. A
level back indicates a ‘uniform
covering of flesh’ which*is ‘all im-
portant to the- butcher, while a
straight underline indicates a
good depth of barrel, and chest,
The former denotes a good feed:
er-and-the latter a. vigorous con-
stitution, both very essential.

An animal must not become bag:

fat. What is ‘wanted ig that the
flesh and fat be laid on smoothly
and thick, especially upon ‘the
more valuable parts such as the
loin and rib,

The head is a fairly accurate
indication of an animal’s quality.
A long coarse head with spiky
horns is usually associated with
lack of quality ‘throughout, An
animal with an extremely short,

to lack length: of ‘body, ‘While
the short thick type is a ‘good
feeder, the butcher prefers great-
er length. . A correct head may.
be deseribed as ‘s6mewhat' short
