About Fattening Cattle.

The price Of cattle fattened for market
depends on the symmetry of the animal,
as well as the "fat'' style, as shippers term
1t. Good blood is important, but not alb
solutely necessary to make what is termed
a good seller. In osde. 70 fatteu steer
to bring the highest market price, he must
be kept in a growing condition from a
calf, and in no ease allowed to 90 hungry.
Il is the starving the first and second win
ters which wits and shrivels up a steer,
that causes him to be sold at reduced
price. No amount Of feeding win make
a first-class seller, no differences Shat his
color or blood. An anima. veil fed Of any
blood, from calf until the spring he is
three years old, win be smooth, with bone,
well covered and win sell at a profit; while
a half-starved animal becomes crooked in
the back, bones projecting and shrivelled
up, takes the best part of the summer to
get in condition to live, and win not be in
condition for market until he is four years
old, and will then bring price unsatisfac-
tory to the producer and to every one
that handles him. This is no theory, but
fact deduced from close observation, as
! have tested the plan for several years
1t will and does pay to feed corn to calves
and to yearlings. They start out to grass
in the spring strong and vigorous. You
are then able to market your cattle the
spring they are three years old, weighing
l 400 pounds, which is heavy enough to
bring the first price. The best steer
sold in 1872 was a common native. He
had all he could eat from calf, and was
never hungry. He was handsome ami
NAL, and was worth more per pound than
any ! shipped in 1872. He weighed in
Chicago, 1850 pounds, aged three years.
Drorer's Journal
The Democratic advocate., 1876-01-01

Wc wrote several articles 10 show the
importance Of the walking gait, aud to say
that Inducements should be offered for
fast walking by agricultural societies; and
we are pleased to see that some Western
and few Eastern societies have offered
such prizes. We Americans are much
inclined to run to extremes, and fora few
years the trotting gait has been talked Of
almost as the only desirable thing about a
horse, whereas this gait has about the same
relation to the general usefulness Of the
horse as the cut Of mans coat has to its
durability. This may, perhaps, be con-
sidered an exaggerative Illustration, but
there is only small fraction Of the TO-
100000 horses in this country whose use.
falness depends upon trotting at all. The
great use Of horses must be found 10 the
walking gait; and when almost the whole
consideration is given to trotting, it only
shows the tendency Of the American peo-
pie to monomania We have an admira-
tion for fast trotter as we have for
good picture. but We should not allow this
incidental quality of the horse to divert
attention from those points that make up
this great value. The tulip mania was
not more absurd than that of elevating the
trotter above all other horse flesh.
We want horses that can walk five miles
per hour, and this class of horses are Of
immensely more importance than the trOt-
ter. This walking gait can be improved
as rapidly as the trotting gait; and If ag-
ricultural societies win take this matter in
hand, aud offer half as much for the fast
est walker as they have done for the fastest
trotter, it will increase the average walk
one mile per hour in five years. The
Spirit Of the Times seconds this movement
and says;
II is positive luxury TO ride or drive
a horse that can walk off with you at the
rate Of five miles au hour. 1t is such
relief to feel, when you ease up your horse
from his swinging trot, or lope, that you
are yet making respectable progress. For
our own private use on the road, the walk
is the gait which We prize above all others,
and anything which promises to increase
the number of fast walkers shall receive
our hearty encouragement -StockJornol
