A Shortage of Cattle.

One popularity of the past winters
cattle trade has been the disposition of
feeders to sell their stock as soon as
it was In any kind Of shape for mar
ket, says National Stockman. Compar-
atively few have kept cattle in the feed
lot until they were fully finished. This
was entirely unexpected in view Of the
abundance of feed and the difficulty
OF marketing 1t in any other way. It
has, however, prevented any accumu-
lation of cattle to food the market dur
ing the latter part Of the season, as
was the case last year. There is no
over-supply Of cattle In sight. Feed
lots are not as full as they were q year
ago, either east or west. Distilleries
hold comparatively few, many Of these
establishments having been shut down.
There is, too, a shortage Of butcher stun
on farms, which is pushing local
slaughterers into market for cattle, or
TO the use Of dressed beef. Cows and
heifeTs are unusually scarce at market
points, afIording an outlet for more
butcher steers. On the whole there
does not seem to be anything to inter
fere with a good market for heavy
steers during the remainder of what
may be called their season, and for
handy and medium weights thereafter.
II the advancing tendency in other live
stock is continued 1t would not be sur
prising to see cattle selling higher
within the next sixty days. There is
nothing in sight to justify any boom,
but an advance of so cts. per 100 lbs.
Is considered within the bounds Of pos
sibility by a good many cattle men.
Time alone will tell whether their fore
casts are correct.
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1897-05-20

II the range is large, they viii pro-
vide themselves during the great part
Of the year with very much OF the
food they require, and seldom become
too fat to lay. Their close plumage
and compact form also conduces to
hardness, and they seldom suffer from
cold. Their weak point is their small
size IL wanted for the table. AS egg
producers. however. they are probably
uneQualled, and their eggs, though not
so large as those of some Of the other
breeds, are yet large enough to sell
readily on the market for a full price.
II the object be eggs and broilers, then
we would say buy Plymouth Rocks,
Brahmas or Wyandottes. These breeds
are all large, heavy ones. They are OF
. contented, restful disposition, and re-
qulTe only very low fence to conAn0
them. They are good layers and good
sitters, but their sitting prOpensities
somewhat interfere with the quantity.
Of eggs they will produce, but this, Of
course, Is compensated for If chick
ems are wanted by the fact that with
any OF these breeds you may have
chickens almost at any time OF the
year, for we have known them to sit
in the fall Of the same year they were
Matched, and to have chickens running
with them at Christmas. Whilst har-
dy, they are not so little affected by
cold as Leghorns, as their quiet dispo-
sition leads them to neglect that exer-
else which wards of the effects Of cold.
They should have warm quarters in
winter, and they will then lay when
most other breeds are resting.
II you have already flock Of good
hens, then all you need is the intro
duction of new male blood. In max
ing q selection OF rooster, never buy
anything but pure-bred bird Of what
ever breed you fancy. In this way, II
you do not buy Of the same breed as
the hens, you will, nevertheless, get
good blood, and not breed scrubs, but;
merely cross bred bi7ds. Many Of these
cross-bred fowls are amongst the best
layers that can be kept A cross be-
tween the Plymouth Rocks and Leg.
horns makes excellent layers and table,
fowls. The cross should be made by,
running a Leghorn rooster with the.
Plymouth Rock hen. A cross Of
games and LeghornB is a good one.
They are good layers, the hens will
sit, and the chickens make good broll-
ers. The rooster should be a large
game bird.

Poultry Notes.

Do not feed geese much grain.
Use milk for mixing up soft feeds.
Fully one-half of early maturity is
in the feeding.
A little salt in the food is beneficial,
too much Is detrimental.
Inbreeding is breeding within fixed
line without outside blood.
Young poultry should never be al
lowed to run in the wet grass,
With extra large size fowls comes
the increased danger Of humble foot.
Inbred stock is that which will trace
on both sides to a common parentage.
In breeding more depends upon the
female than the male, II size is an
object.
II you raise ducks, do not allow the
little ones to go into the water till
they are feathered out.
Under ordinary conditions If a lay
ing hen averages an egg week it will
pay the expense of feeding her.
Cooked meat chopped reasonably
fine can be fed to chicks confined in a
brooder once a week, probably.
AS a general rule, 1t will be best to
have all surplus fowls of every kind
marketed by the middle Of this month.
Keep the little chicks warm and dry
and do not allow them to get hungry,
and you will have but little trouble
with disease.
Roup may be generally traced to
want Of cleanliness, improper Ventila-
ton or undue exposure, and guarding
against these will usually prevent it.
While the Brahmas are good sitters
they are so large that care must be
taken in the construction Of their nests
or they will break good many Of their
eggs.
Some poultry men claim that by
feeding bone dust to poultry an album
dance Of bone and shell making ma
terial is supplied, and in feeding with
ground feed the tendency to dlarrhoea
is checked.

nfammatory diseases.
1t is cruel and senseless not to do
all that is in our power to make them
comfortable. Put each COW in a box
stall by herself as calving time ap-
proaches. Avoid all noise and excite
ment, and insist that the same person
cares for her every day.
A few days before calving each COW
should be given moderate dose Of
epson salts, molasses and ginger. Al
ter the calf is dropped she should have
another dose.
1t is wonderfully beneficial in every
case and should never be omitted.
Never neglect the warm bran mash
Immediately after the calf Is dropped,
and never fail to take the chill Oh the
water for at least ten days.
II the weather is at all cold put q
blanket on the calf. little flannel
blanket is just the thing. Sew strings
to tie around the neck and under the
belly. As the calf grows the blanket
can be let out to At. Our calves have
often worn these little blankets, and
grow SO that they little more than
covered their backs--and oh, how
pretty and sleek they looked.
We do not think 1t best for calf or
COW to leave the calf by the mother
more than ten days at the longest.
II the uddeF is inclined to be imam"
ed, battle with hot water and rub
thoroughly dry. reduce the food and
nature will help.
The man who cannot be especially
gentle and tender with his cows at
this time, should not be dairyman or
stock breeder, and will never succeed.
He should Immediately 60 into other
business.
II the fodder begins to get low, don't
scrimp the cattle. better buy some
clover hay and some grain.
Better sell something and invest the
proceeds in feed than let stock run
down and get thin, for that will be
dead loss.
How much money has the farmer
made this winter, who has kept his
cows out in the barn yard with
hunched backs and water running out
Of their eyes?
How much rich manure has he saw
ed and applied to his fields?
How much poorer is he this year
than he was last year?
This isn't luck. It is lack Of brains.
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1897-05-20
starting a Flock.

This is the season Of the year when
many are thinking Of either starting
a laying flock Of hens or reinVigorating
an old flock by the introduction OF new
blood, says a writer in Southern Plant
er. It is a good time to do this, as the
spring-hatched chickens are Of sum-
cient size and so fully feathered as to
show clearly what kind Of hens they
are likely to make, and breeders are
now anxious to sell before cold wealth
er and the heavier requirements Of
winter feeding comes upon them. II
you have no hens, or only few "old
scrubs" which you have decided to kill
on, then the question naturally first
arises, what breed should be boughtl
II the object is eggs and eggs alone,
then you cannot 90 wrong in buying
Leghorns, either white or brown. With
these you will never be troubled with
sitting hens, but you must make up
your mind to fence your garden not
merely with a four-foot fence, but with
one at least six feet high, II you in
tend to keep the hens out Of 1t, or you
must have your hen house so far away
from the garden that they will sell
dom come near It They are the most
active breed Of fowls, and are ever
on the alert. As a consequence Of this,
