Making Baby Beef,
The more unsatisfactory the milk
gituation becomes, the moie anxious
we are to turn our attention to other
branches of farming, which will be
more remunerative. 4f we could take
up raising beef or sheep, we should
gtill have our manure and a good
profit from our stock withouvt so much
worry over the -labor problem and
trying to meet the difficult require
ments of the city people in regard to
milk production.
Perhaps the most promising new
field is that of baby beef., Baby beef
is a prime butchers’ beast, thoroughly
fattened and ripe for the block at
from 12 to 24 months of age. Jrowth
has been artificially promoted by con
tinuous heavy feeding from birth,
with the object of obtaining in the
shortest time possible the maximum
weight of well-matured beef, Its es
sential features are early maturity,
quality, finish and thickness of flesh,
The next question is, where can we
get stock from? We can either raise
the stock ourselves or buy young
calves from the range at weaning
tim>, when they will weigh from 850
to 500 pounds, and cost from 4 to §
cents a pound. Should we decide to
raise our own stock, we should pur
chase either Hereford, Short-Horn,
Angus or Qalloway cattle. These
need not be registered stosk, or at
least the cows need not, and should
it be found advisable good young
grade heifers could be bought in
Texas, which if mated to a registered
bull would producoe excellent stock
for baby beef. 2
The next point to consider is how
to feed our babies so as to meet the
market requirements, What are thei
requirements? The illustration shows
very clearly what are the most val-|
uable cuts to the butcher, and we will
do well to bear this in mind when we
are raising our young stock.
Our calves must be fed for growth
from the start and the foed provided
must be composed of ingredients that
can be easily digested. Whole milk,
of course, heads this list, This, fed
fresh and warm from the cow until
weaning time, will produce the best
calf for any purpose. This gives the
youngster a chance to tgke a little at
a time and often and so avoids over
loading their stomachs. At the pres
ent prices of milk and labor, it would

probably pay to let the calves run
with their dams from 4 to 6 months,
supplementing this diet with a little
shelled corn and oats mixed, after
the first few weeks. On the other
hand, should any of us bring our
selves to-believe that there was any
profit in milk at 3 cents, we could,
after the first few weeks, milk our
cows by Land and feed the calves
from a pail. The great point to re
“member is not to give the youngsters
any set-back, wean them gradually
and don’t gorge them, Warfield says:
“The weaning is in a great degree
a crisis in a calf's life, 1f cut off from
nature's diet too early, bad results
not infrequently ensue; but if allowed
to go on to that period at which in
the natural sequence of events the
~calf wonld find his milk ration more
and more insufficient and his capacity
to cat more and more peffect every
day, the transition, instead of being
violent, is at once natural and easy,
and therefore without injurious con
sequences. The great thing is to
keep the growth of the calf from suf
fering any serious check. If this
growth goes rigat along, all is well.
If, however, the weaning is followed
by 'a period of pining and real need
of the milk diet, and the calf is for a
' few weeks unthrifiy, the effect will
‘be apparent in the animal's after
lifg; for these short periods of re
tardation in early life count up Jarge
ly in the sum. This is not an easy
matter to impress upon many men,
and yet an animal that has an un
‘broken calfhood of thrifty growth
‘will mature earlier and develop more
‘completely the possibilities of its na
ture than another which with equal
promise was suffered to get again and
ragain out of condition by unwise sav
(ng in the first months of I life.”
Perhaps I should have said that the
best time to have our calves dropped
‘s in the fall; then by the time the
pastures are green the following
Sspring the youngsters are well started
and can safely get part of their feed
from the fresh grass. Mr, Ritzman,
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, gives as the best summer
combination to furnish a proper bal
ance with good pasture, shelled corn,
_or a little oats, with an occasional
feed of a little cottonseed meal,
_ &luten meal, linseed meal, just to

become accustomed to it, or they may
overeat. For winter feed, many, Mr.
Ritzman says, have had great success
with a ration made up of 15+to 25
pounds of ensilage, 3 pounds of corn
meal, 2 prounds wheat bran, and
plenty of clover hay. Feed regularly
at stated times; see that nothing is
left in the troughs from meal to
meal; provide plenty of clean, fresh
‘water, and don't forget the salt, Oats,
barley, rye, ete., should be crushed.

These young beeres should be fed
indoors in the winter, and in the sum
mer should be protected from the hot
sun and flies by keeping them in a

they are raised, and the demand sari

in The Country Gentleman.
“Managing the Hay Crop.”
As a rule too many farmers delay
the cutting of their hay crop until a
large proportion of the feeding value
is lost on account of the hay becom
ing tough and fibrous. Our whole
aim should be to cut and cure our
hay at a time when it will be the
most palatable and the easiest for
our animals to digest and assimilate.
The analysis of early cut hay and
that which is cut later does not jus
tity the cutting of the hay crop early
but actual experience in feeding ani
mals will prove that early cut hay
will produce better results when fed
to all kinds of farm anrimals than
that which is cut later, We may feed
our animals on late cut hay during
the winter and they will become thin,
but when they are turned out on the
same grass in the spring they will
shed off their old hair and take on a
look of prosperity and thrift, even
though the same grass contains no
more protein nor comes any nearer
to producing a balanced ration. How
are we to explain this fact? The cat
tle are not getting a different class
of food as far as chemical analysis
is concerned, for ¢he dry hay contains
the same elements as the pasture
grass, but the great difference is due
to the succulent condition of the
green grass which is in a different
condition.
In order to make the best possibie
food out of our hay crop it should be
cut when it will come the nearest to
approaching the same condition as
pasture grass. The nearer this grass
can be preserved to the way nature
provid#d it the better food it will
make for the farm animals. It is
by the feeding of this kind of hay
that we arve able to get the best de
velopment that our a&nimals are cap
able of making.—Epitomist,

The embroidered edge to the gloves
is so light and lacy looking, button

Four Gored Skirt.
The skirt that is perfectly smooth
over the hips while it is gracefully
full at the lower portion is the one
that is most in demand for walking
and general wear. This one includes
that essential feature and is novel
at the same time, being made with
wedge shaped panels that are laid
under the gores and which allow of
treatment of various sorts. In this
case the skirt is made of mohair and
is trimmed with silk braid and little
buttons, but if @ combination of ma
\terials was wanted the panels could
‘be of striped, plaid or checked ma
terial, while the gores were of plain,
or vice versa; or one material can be
used “for the skirt with another for
the panels. Again, the trimming can
be banding of any sort, either braid
or the same in contrasting material
cut into bands, or anything of a sim
ilar sort.
The zkirt is made in four gores,
these gores being made - with exten-
sions to the depth of the panels. The
extensions are turned under to form
pleats and the latter are arranged
over the panels, the edges being
joined beneath the pleats.

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER.
Few people realize the importance
of the words ‘‘Trade Mark” stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
it would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of unscrupulous manufacturers
out of business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re
sponsibility for the merit of his pro
duct. He takes his business reputa
tion in his hands—out in the lime
light—*'‘on the square” with the buy
er of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer—the one
who holds out ‘‘inducements,” offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealer’s brand—sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe
rior goods ‘'‘come back” it’s the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro
tection afforded the public by a txgl{de
mark is that offered in connection
with National. Lead Company’s ad
vertising of pure White Lead as the
best paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of pur
ity in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address a blow-pipe and instrue
tions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be
ing sent out from the New York
office of the company, Woodbridge
Building.
: Tricks of the Paris Beggar.
- This eity is the happy hunting
ground of the beggar, and &specially
‘at the New ¥Year. He stops you at
every cornmer of the street; he tries
to hand you out of your carriage the
moment you stop before shop or res
taurant. It is partly the influence of
the season, but it is an evil that is al
ways with us more or less. Some
have quite ingenioug tricks to temp:
the pity of the passer by.
One lady, who is well known, de.
clareg every evening at the Gare St.
Lazare to any sympathetic looking
stranger that she is a governess, and
has lost her purse, and would the kind
gentleman lend her thirty centimes.
“And be pleased to give me your
card,” she adds, “so that I may re
turn the money.” The ruse generally
succeeds, but the mendicant hag never
been known to take the omnibus, ex
cept at the close of a profitable eye
ning, when she has probably victim
ized a dozen good natured persons.
Another woman who plies her singn
lar industry in the Place de la Con
corde, addresses herself exclusively
tc her own sex. As a result, she ob
tains .as much as five or ten francs
rom Lindly matrons who are touched
by haor story.
At the New Year the usual crop of
beggars is so immensely increased
that one supposes that the compara
tively well off must descend into the
street to try their luck. No doubt. it
1s a “metier” that has its fascinations,
especially if it be but temporary.—
