They are some of Mr. Higinbotham's own breeding, and, with the exception of about thirty, were sired by his fa- mous bull, Joe Nelson, who, by many, is considered the best bull in Central Kansas, as all his calves show his many fine points of excelence. He is a thoroughbred, of the Booth stock, bred on the College farm, with an ex- celent pedigree. Mr. Higinbotham makes no preten- sions as a breeder of thoroughbreds, although he keeps a few fine cows and heifers of the purest blood, whose ped- ...igrees are complete, and on some of which he took premiums at our county fairs over a large number of compet- itors who are making the breeding of thoroughbreds the study of their lives. "High grades" is his forte. IN THIS LINE OF BREEDING, he claims, and the experience of our farmers bear him out in it, lies the success of cattle raising. A pedigree will sell animals for a fabulous price, but when they are slaughtered they bring no more than the high grades. Many of our farmers find it beyond their reach to purchase a thoroughbred, and it is much more profitable to pur- chase an animal from one-half to two- thirds less, that lacks but a thirty-sec- ond or a sixty-fourth of being as pure, and, although he may not be entered in the American Herd Book, will produce calves that will bring them just as much beef and can be sold for just as much money for that purpose at the age of three years.
