able parts OF his carcass. The follow
i ing outline, for which [ am indebted
! to Professor Curtis of the Iowa expert
ment station, showing the American
method of cutting up q beef animal,
and giving the relative prices per
pound of each part, illustrates the
above point. The absolute prices given
to the different parts viii. of course.
i vary at times; they, nevertheless, show
fairly constant relative value:
/ The shank and ribs are divided be-
tween the fifth and sixth ribs The
rib and loin cuts are divided between
the 18th and 18th ribs. The shank is
separated at the shoulder joint. In
six head of beef cattle, two Short
Horns, two Aberdeen Angus and two
Herefords, fed at the Iowa experiment
tai station, and killed and cut up by
Swift & Co., by the above method, the
ribs and loins averaged 27S per cent
OF the weight of the entire carcass,
and sold for $50 per cent of the total
value, that is, a little more than one
| fourth of the carcass sold for nearly
two-thirds of it's value. This outline
very forcibly illustrates where the beef
steer should put the most of his growth,
and points ont the build of the animal
that will give the desired form Space
will not permit of further discussion of
beefng form
While for range feeding it may pay
to grow the lower priced animal, vet
one better fitted to those conditions on
the farm it will in every way pay to
grow the animal which sells for the
most money. While it takes more intel
ligence and skill to produce the i'm
proved form, yet it costs no more to
grow it than it does the inferior ami
nal.
But how are we to get this improved
form? It is quite possible to so han
die, select and improve our native stock
as to make them all that may be de-
sired as meat producers, but such d
method would take long time, and be
very expensive, and for the average
farmer very unwise. In the United
States at the present time there are
large numbers and many varieties of
pure bred animals of the form desired,
which have the power of transmitting
this improved form to their offspring
when crossed with the common stock
By continued breeding to pure bred
sire, in a few generations we will have
animals that in form are fully equal
to the pure breds, though they are a
very long way behind them in their
power to transmit those qualities It,
therefore, follows that a pure bred ami
NAL should at all times be used, never
a half or three-quarters bred animal or
even a higher grade. There is no guar
antee that such animal will transmit
their qualities, as the least trace Of
alien blood seems to induce a strong
tendency to revert to an ancestral and
unimproved type when mated to ami
mails of similar breeding. Yet again,
be careful in the selection of the breed
to be used, and having selected it be
very slow to change, as the mixing of
breeds is not conducive to systematic
and lasting improvement.
On this point of improved live stock,
particularly the food producing kind,
believe that, as a state, we are consid-
erably behind. At the present time,
though 1 have made some inquiries,
do not know of one herd of any size
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-26

the result being that little was done in
real mining work. The past season
has seen different class of work done.
Men returned with early spring TO
prospects they found the year before,
and brought others with them, and
started on practical development work.
When the unusually early snow OF this
fail drove them out it was from proper
ties running high in gold, silver and
copper; ore assaying as high as sos
in gold, others running from 10 per
cent to SO per cent copper, SO to Sos
gold and eight to 20 ounces silver,
some parts of the vein assaying 10 per
cent copper and zoe ounces silver. 1t
is such properties that viii attract all
the means necessary to their complete
development another season. The La
Sal mountains are sure to be the cen
ter of great mining activity another
season, and it is this prospect that
makes the new year look bright. 1t
means riches for the miner and a sure
market for the farmer.
The Blue mountains, situated wholly
in San Juan county, have been receiv-
ing much attention from the miner and
prospector for several years. The re-
gion passed through the drawback of
having been ..overboomed.' Men Of
experience have taken hold of the de-
Velopment work, and the district will
have settled another year on to q
steady producing basis.
RICH COPPER BELT.
The great copper belt lying between
the La Sal and Blue mountains, known
as the Big Indian, Lisbon Springs and
Paradox Valley districts, through
which run great dykes of copper ore,
have been known for years. Many of
the best claims are held by poor pros
pectors. unable TO carry on extensive
railroad transportation has been the
great drawback in interesting capital
in the past. The past summer the
rich group known as the May-King
properties, in the Big Indian district,
were sold to Salt Lake City capitalists,
and they have kept up steadily the
development work on them since and
have announced their intention. to erect
reduction works this coming summer.
Montana capitalists are now investi-
eating the claims at Lisbon Springs,
ten miles south of the Big Indian dis
trict. Very rich copper ore was dis
covered in the La Sal canyon, near.
Paradox valley just inside of the
Colorado line, and extensive develop
ment work is now being carried on
backed by eastern capitalists. About
40 men are now employed at this place
Hardly a start has been made as vet
in prospecting the mineral belt en-
bracing the La Sal and Blue noun
tains, strip oyer 100 miles long, run
ming north and south, and frem % to
90 miles in width, yet enough has been
done TO assure active mining operations
at four or more points the coming sea-
son.

BEEF CATTLE
AS A PRODUCT. OF THE
UTAH FARM.
BY PROF. 3. LlNFlELD, Utah Agricultural College.

While my work as an officer of the
Agricultural college includes the sub
Ject of animal industry, as well as
that OF dairy husbandry, yet in a pub
Tic way l have devoted nearly all my
energies to the dairy line. The reason
Tor. this arose largely out of the neces-
sites of the case. I had, through in
vestigation and observation, become
| pretty we'll acquainted with the dairy
situation, it's possibilities and adapta-
olHtles, in the eastern states and in
canada, and here [ found conditions
which We're eminently fitted for pro-
| duclng dairy products, not alone
economically, but of the highest quail
lty< Yet, strange to say, in 1888
found that very large quantities of
| both butter and cheese were being i'm
ported into the state, and that to sup
ply the best trade, while a great deal
OF the home product had to go begging
for market. Already forces were at
work tending to correct this evil and
l determined to do what / could to help
hasten that tendency. 1t was not,
therefore, that stock raising and stock
Improvement was not of Importance
but that the claims in the dairy line
were more Immediately pressing. l do
not wish to imply that the very salts
factory progress which, as a state we
have made in the dairy line, is due to
anything that may have said or done,
but simply to state that what influence
may have had has been exerted in
that direction
AT this time, however, [ wish to pre-
sent some facts along another line; for
be it far from me to say that every
person should go into the dairy bust
ness. Some people have no tastes in
I'll,
businesS-and to such [ would say,
have nothing to do with it. There is
room in our broad and fertile valleys
for every class of husbandry, and I am
fully persuaded that as time goes on.
our crops will become more diversified
and each man or community of men
will take up that class of work to
which their situation and tastes are
but fitted, and that returns to them the
largest profits This will be to the de-
cided advantage of the husbandman
and those with whom he deals.
NATURAL FEEDING GROUND.
The mountain ranges and the great
plains and valleys OF the west have
been the feeding ground for immense
herds of cattle. 1t is but natural to
suppose that where the American bison
roamed and thrived so WELL that the
OK should follow in his footsteps and
become a source of profit to the from
tiersman. Later the husbandman and
farmer found his way westward and
settled on the rolling plains and fertile
valleys, and the cattlemen moved off
among the hills. Later still, sheep OBJ !
tanned foothold upon the mountain
and desert ranges, and, with the en-
enlargement given by legislative
power, spread themselves rapidly over
the country, the cattle disappearing be- /
fore them. Two reasons for the latter
change may be given. In the first I
place, with careful management, the |
sheep had almost literally a golden |
hoof' for their owners, as they re-
turned very large profits, and many
cattlemen became sheepmen; many are

MARYSvALE.
An Old District That Has Seen It's
Ups and Downs.


Ten miles south of the present ter
minus of the Sanpete branch of the
Rio Grande Western road, on the banks
OF the Sewer river, and near the mouth
of Bullion creek, is located the pretty
and picturesque little mining and ag-
ricultural city Of Maiysvale. which.
with its environments, is destined to be-
come place Of considerable prorni-
nence at no distant day.
Marysvaie is an old mining camp.
and although its mines have not bee<
on the shipping list during the past few
years, the ore is there. and there in
abundance, and it is believed that dur
ing the coming year the magic touch of
capital and labor, the better railroad
facilities offered and a general revival
IN mining circles, will result in this an
Gent district dropping into line again as
heavy producer and shipper of he
precious metals.
In years gone by when silver and
lead commanded better prices than the
figures at which these metals are o,,ot-
ed today, the old Webster mine. IN Rrl-
lion canyon, was a regular shipper of
nigh grade ore, as well as Of bullion
and there were other mines in that
immediate vicinity which paid their
owners well and added their mite IN
wards the enrichment of the world The
Deer Trail also made a reputation as a
shipper of good ore, and the mine is
accredited With the production Of many
tnousands. rms property is located be-
tween Bullion and Cottonwood canvons
and now forms the basis of negotiations
which will most likely result in resump-
ton of work again in it's DEVELOPMENT
and operation in the very near future.
while it is understood that the web

ously pushed during the last four or

There are scores of valuable mines
and properties in Marysvale district
The Branch in Bullion canyon is one of
them, and it is reported that a most
important strike has been made of late
in this property. The Alma, on the
Cottonwood side, not far from the Deer
Trail, is another, While up and down
both canyons and their tributaries there
are many dumps to be seen and the
relics of old producers are to be found
almost at every hand.
As gold and silver camp, Marys-
vale is full of promise. The lodges of
the district are large and well defined.
and the mineralized zone is both broad
and long. 1t is an inviting field for the
prospector and the investor will find
many opportunities there for safe and
profitable investments.

THE COAL OUTPUT.

From all the data obtainable at this
time. the estimated coal and coke out
put for the state for 1897 will amount
to nearly 100000 TONS This is an in
crease over last year.
The greatest producer in Utah is the
Pleasant Valley Coal company, and
from this complete figures have been
obtained through the courtesy of The
ron Geddes, auditor. This statement,
prepared for The Herald, shows the
gross output of all kinds for the year
to be: Coal, 449,O15 tons; coke 25, 900
tons; total, 474,015 tons.
Prices to dealers have ruled a shade
lower this year than last, with retail
prices about the same. except during
the period in 1896, when a war was in
augurated by importing agents and
kept up for a short time

STATELINE DISTRICT.

Promising Outlook For the Young
est Gold Camp In the State.
The camp of State Line, in western
Iron county, is the youngest gold dis
trict in the state, and it is one that is
full Of promise and that has all the in
dications of coming to the front at an
early day as a great producer of the
yellow metal.
In fact, Stateline. in it's geology and
formation, possesses all the require
ments necessary for the making of a
great camp, and it is doubtful if its
peer can be found in the west.
The naturalization of Stateline is
confined TO mammoth belt of por-
phyry, which is from three to four
miles wide and all of ten miles in
