It is condition and quality rather than weight that deride whether a steer
Is to be placed In the beef cattle classification. Within the class It la condi
tion end quality that largely determine the amount of profit that goes to the
shipper. Choice to prime steers bring from 75 cents to $3.75 per hundred
weight over the common light stock, according to a study made of lightweight
riteers coming to the Chicago market by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foun
dation.
The bulk of the shipments are classified under the grades of prime steers,
1,200 to 1,600 pounds; choice steers, 1,150 to 1,000 pounds; good steers, 1,150
to 1,600 pounds; medium steers, 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, and common rough
steers, 000 to 1,200 pounds. These are the classifications of the United States
Bureau of Markets.
Prime beef steers are the Ideal type, combining exceptional breeding and
thorough finishing. Short neck and short legs, smooth flesh and well-fllled,
bulging briskets are prerequisites. Prime beef steers are rare, even steers
good enough to grade as choice are few. They show most of the characteris
tics of the prime grnde, good breeding and long feeding, smooth flesh and thick
fat. On the block the quality steer will show a good proportion of red mfeat
covered with a modest amount of smooth white fat. The lean, while firm of
texture, will be mellow to the toscb. The carcass should carry down fall to
the bock, being highly marbled with bright lean of a floe grain.

Doga Need Frequent
Releeue From Chain
The following humane appeal mad?
by a correspondent in the Dog World
shows pointedly how dogs are the vic
tims of a cruel practice; how theif
dispositions may be spoiled, and their
lives rendered unnatural and un
happy: j
"May I plead through your columnj
for the better treatment of dogs whoi
are continually chained, sometime?!
for weeks and months, without being,
liberated from their imprisonmentti
The other dny a man stated In ai
police court that his dog had not been!
off the chain for twelve months; fronn
Its puppyhood, it had been fastened
up without an hour of liberty.
"As a lover of dogs I hold that ev-j
ery dog is entitled to regular exercise,)
and that It Is unjustifiable cruelty to
imprison a dog for life. Such treat
ment makes a dog hopeless and mis*
erable; he becomes dejected and oft-'
en savage, and his health suffers se
riously. ?
"A young dog can be trained to ba
a guard without chaining, and the best'
watchdogs are those which are not
chained. Chains are a heritage of by
gone days and should be abolished."
The best way to keep a dog that
needs restraint is to put him in a yard
with a high fence. If this is not prac
ticable, fasten a wire across any yards
on this put an iron ring which, whea:
attached by a cord to the dog's collar?
will allow him to run backward and
forward the full length of the wire.
The yard should have thade as well
as sunshine, to protect the dog from
too great heat of the sua.
Make your deg your companion and
friend. Treat him kindly and he will
respond.
It is cruel to tie a dog under a wag
on or allow hira to follow an autoino
bile or bicycle. Lat him ride with you.
