Nobody ever SEEM to think it worth
while to make a b~usiness-like inquiry.
Still there are quite a number Of men
OF high birth and social standing in the
old world, who, having gone a crop

pose OF retrieving their shattered fort

FOR THE FARMER
Aatters of Interest to the Agri-
culturIist and Stock Raiser.
The Cattle Business Has an Encour-
aging Outlook Meaning Pigs
Dairy and Poultry Notes.

Is the outlook in the cattle bust
ness encouraging? Yes, because the
Wholesale slaughter of the breed
ing stock of the country has meas
urably stopped. Farmers and ranchmen
have paused to count the cows and heif-
ers and estimate the beef supply required
for the next four years. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that at the rate COWS have
been slaughtered for the last two years,
all over the country. the producing ca
pacity OF steer beef is being reduced
and on the other hand, but in the same
line OF argument, the increase in the
consumption of beef grows steadily
greater and greater. Where is our beef
supply to come from when We cease to
become producers, a result clearly OUT
lined by the extraordinary effort OF eat
tie raisers to deplete the ranks of the
mother stock? 1t simply must result
! in a scarcity Of beef and higher prices
for what Is consumed,
There can no serious disadvantage be
experienced in the shortage OF a hog
crop, a. their ability to multiply viii set
things all right in a year OF close breed
ing; but with cattle it is different. II
we are short Of breeding stock, 1T VIII
take us three years before. we can pro-
duce breeding stock and receive any
benefit fro- them in adding TO our
numbers, so il is evident that there are
some things impossible, viz: to create a
~2-year-old heifer in a minute.
The speculative idea OF handling
nothing but steers has taken o every
where. Farmers who have been liberal
producers are now buyers OF steer
calves. They argue that they cannot
afford to keep a COW a year, Craze heI
through the summer feed her prepared
feed during the fall and winter, pay tax
on her and have a money investment oil
$50 or S25, all because she produces once
a year a $40 calf, and run all risks oil
losing COW and calf, when a good call
can be bought for SO. 1t is further adj
yanced that the profit in the cattle rails
ing business commences after this period
in the calf's life, therefore the impor'
lance of letting the front end OF tne
business alone, and taking the calf at
year old, when it Is prepared TO rapidly
develop for the consumers market.
We regard the outlook of the cattle
business very encouraging now, anc
would not hesitate in advising those
who are prepared and inclined 10 EN-
bank in the raising of cattle to MAKE
the investment at once. AS has oeer
the history of all live stock depressions
there is an end. and following this Is
period of unusual activity, which result
we certainly have the best of reasons Il
anticipate in the neal future.

A new mineral has been discovered

Poultry Notes and News.

Linseed meal, a heaping ~teaspoonful
to four fowls every other day, will aid
in CLOSING their plumage. Sunflower
seed has the same effect,
Ducks and hens should not be kept in
the IN quarters. They should have
eparate houses by all means and, IL
possible, separate yards.
Feed ducks from troughs, never or
the ground.
Vegetable rubbish may not look well
when thrown into a poultry yard, but
that is the place to put II il the fowls
are confined there.
Mrs. Borden of Cawker City, Kan,
sod during the month of March 44o
dozen eggs. She gathers from ls5 TO
225 eggs a day, besides taking care of
her family.
Small farmers and villagers nay pro-
duce one-half OF their meat supply in
the poultry yard il they will give the
subject proper attention. IL is worth
while to make the attempt.
Currant bushes afford agreeable shade
IN the poultry yard. III the fruit is not
wanted by the owner the birds will be
glad to have 1t; If it is wanted the fowls
must be turned into another yard until
it is Gathered.
Fowls that cannot be kept in a yard
by a fence of ordinary height, should
have the fight feathers of one wing cut
short. Leave three or four at the tip OF
the joint so that the wing will fold up
nicely and the bird will not be disfg-
ured.
Why should a farmer have stables and
a barn yard for his cattle? The reason
is plain enough; it pays, TO say nothing
Of the convenience and humanity of the
thing. Why should the same farmer
have only an old rickety shed for his
poultry and no yard at all? We give
it up.
The average farmer thinks the fowls
can take care Of themselves in hot
weather. Yet he will coop a brood OF
chicks in the open field, subject 20 the
direct rays of the sun, and deem them
we'll cared for. You must learn better
than this; success will never meet your
efforts half way.

He started out with Il crowd of friends

dressing him as follows:

The Joker had intended, had Tommy

a cent on the bar and drink and laugh

that he had treated a house full on the
gag once before. OF course the
Joker bought and sought other fields
of experiment. Billy Dunn came next.
The man with the jokes and his friends
lined up to the bar.
Billy, can | put up this umbrella

ready for hosting.
Dunn looked at him a moment,
smiled, and replied that he had been
taken in on the same thing just twenty
minutes before the alleged joker's ar
rival. Of course everybody drank
again at the funny mans expense.
