The attention that has been given o.
he early maturity II cattle has resulted
in greatly increasing the amount of
beef. \ few years aso 4 large proper
ton OF the bullocks designed for the
market were not slaughtered till they
were five or SIX years old. In many in
stances they did not sell for enough 10
pay for half the fool ihcy had consumed.
Now most Stockholders turn "ff their
cattle when they are three wears old.
and there is n strong disposition &c pre-
pare them for the market at a ,,ill ear
licr age. This chang in management
has on somr farms almost doubled the
amount of beef produced. Improve
