Sig Cent Beef Cattle.


Henry Wallace says in The Homestead:
'sLong ago, when we went to school in
log school house, chinked and daubed,
and sat on slab, turned bark side down
for bench, and stood in awe of the birch
rods that lay on nails just above the
masters desk, it used to be a maxim
two times three are six and the half
of six is three Applying this maxim,
if it be true one (our readers will please
ask their children il it is taught in. the
schools for truth now9, to the cattle bust
ness, it would seem as if two cattle of a
given weight selling at three cents per
pound would bring no more than one Of
the same weight selling at SIX, and it
would therefore seem as If it would be
to the farmers interest to keep half the
number of cattle and sell only six cent
steers. If it should be still further dis
covered that a high grade steer would
make this weight in a year less time and
save a years keep, it would seem as if it
were utter folly to bother with three
cent steer. If on still further investiga-
ton it should be found that this is posi-
BILE and is done by the best farmers year
after year, in what are known as the
blue grass sections of the west, while it
cannot be done on the range sections, it
would seem the highest mark of wisdom
to let the range people grow the three
cent steers and the blue grass people
grow only six cent. It depends mainly
on whether we were taught lie IN that
old school house or were Taught the truth.
We say mainly, because Captain A. P.
Petrie, of New Windsor, His, writes us
as follows: 1T seems to mo that if the
corn and blue grass belt of Illinois and
Iowa cannot make success of raising
good beef to supply the markets of the
world no other place need try. The diff
Guilty seems to be in getting the common
farmer to understand the difference be-
tween cattle that will bring six cents per
pound and those that bring three. They
certainly see the trouble, but will not
apply the remedy So, after all, the old
maxim may have been true, and is still
true, and the difficulty lies in the fact
that farmers do no not understand that
they can, if they will, grow the six cent
cattle by getting the right hind Of blood,
thoroughbred sires all the time, and TAX
ing the proper care Of them. If this be
SO, then all hands to work to preach the
gospel of six cent cattle and produce it.
1t can be done, is done, and we can all
name the men that can do it and are
doingit. Letthe motto, Fewer cattle and
better, be written ON every barndoor."
