swine. Ils value here, when the price

We have led TOO much corn. We have
for many wears made this cereal the al
most exclusive food of swine, and We
have thus brought on severe punish
ment. Exclusive corn feeding TO hogs
has given US race OF domestic animals
which ale debililated at birth. No ani-
msl can be fed on such highly car
bonaceous food rs corn without oecom-
ing physically demoralized. We do not
think tirst-class pork was ever made on
such a diet. Swine thus fed, when
slaughtered, always have more or les
infamed viscera, the result OF impaired
health. Perhaps the greatest harm re-
sulting from this one-sided diet l. thal

makes il an easy prey for many con,

FEEDING CATTLE ONCE MORE IN DE-
MAND BOTH EAST AND WEST.

The cattle markets of the West show
that feeding cattle are in special demand.
one western exchange starts out an ar
tiele In the following fashion: "Now
that dairymen are going out Of cows
into cattle feeding" We quote from
memory sentiment expressed as
though Ii was we'll understood to rest
upon a generally observed fact.
We have several times expressed the
belief that prevailing rates for beef, in
deed for meat, Justify the raising Of
meat products. Beef has been especial
iy alluded TO. 1t is apparent that the
predicted Is about to occur. The move
ment begun in the West has shown some
indications of an eastward course. The
central states have taken renewed inter-
est in beef making stock. The fairs of
New England have shown more than or
binary interest In beef lines Of cattle.
This move may be welcomed BY dairy
men in the hopes that il will relieve the
pressure In the dairy products. Except
on farms where there Is surplus Of
labor in the farmers own family il may
be accepted as true that beef at six cents
pound live weight at the farm Is a.
good as butter at the prices IL nets at
dairy doors. The statement needs
further guarding by the provision that
IL must be produced at young age.
Thirty months should be the extreme

and does not understand feeding well
