. s gAT | AT e Y £ R T R LS o] o o Ve 2 ' % ] s 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.

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 é,??lll.\l‘l,a _the appetite.

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. The following table,” compiled by the United States Department of Agri culture, gives an excellent idea of the comparative advantages of producing baby over long-fed beef: : Long- Baby |° ‘fedg beef | *beef ONE STEER.

Prime young beef can be sold right on the farm where | they are raised, and the demand sari exceeds the supply. This industry is certainly worth considering,—A., D.,l 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, Fed at a Loss, The hen that eats her head off should have an operation performed on her neck to prevent furthér eat ing; likewise th® cow that is not worth her keep shoull go to the block.

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.— Paris correspondence Pall Mall Ga: REMAINS THE SAME Well Brewed Postum Always Pal g atable, The flavour of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same-—mild, distinctive, and palata ble.
