CATTLE FOR FEEDING.
bureau of Animal Induatry Explains
How to Select the Most Prom
Using Animals.

Practical and experienced feeders,
who breed and purchase steers for fat
tening, observe striking differences in
the aptitude of animals of varying types
and makeup to lay on flesh readily and
in such form and quality as to com
mand the highest price on the market.
1t requires a well-trained eye to detect
in all cases the possible variation of re-
suits in the store or stock steer; but
there are some distinctions that are
easily detected There are certain types
of cattle, for instance, that never feed
profitably under nny conditions, and
it is quite as important to discriminate
against these in the feed lot as to be
able to recognize the excellence in other
types.
The characteristics that make tho
profitable feeder are naturally more
difficult to detect in animals in stock
| condition than when fnttencd, but not
withstanding this there are number
of indications that are fairly reliable.
| Though the young steer may be COM
| paratively thin in flesh and temporarily
lacking the thick, even covering of the
| back and ribs so essential in the finished
carcass, he must nevertheless present
that blocky frame and stoutness OF
build, accompanied by short straight
legs, wide back and loin, well-sprung
ribs, fullness back of shoulders and in
tianks, prominent brisket full neck
vein, wide chest, and well-rounded bar
rel, together with a good, soft, mellow
handling skin and fine, silky hair, Civ
ing what is termed the thick, mossy
coat, without coarseness, and with it
all good strong, vigorous head, clear,
full eye and quiet temperament. The
Importance of IN even covering of flesh
and good handling quality can hardly
be overestimnted. The bone should be
moderately fine and clean. Coarseness
either in the bone or about the head
and horns is particularly Objectionable,
as it indicates coarseness of texture
throughout and greater percentage of
otfal and cheap meat, as well as ten
dency to sluggish circulation. The head
should present a certain refinement,
finish, and vigor that in measure in
dicate general quality and superior eN-
cellence of finished product, though this
refinement must not be accompanied
by delicacy.-Prof. C. F. Curtiss, in
Fourteenth Annual Report of Bureau
of Animal Industry.

HINTS FOR SToCKMEN.

Keep no stale stock on your pastures,
but let them be less in quantity and Of
better quality, and will see better re-
suits.
If at the end of six or seven weeks the
piggies are growing nicely and look
well, we may think of weaving, but it
should not be determined by their age,
but how they are eating and growing,
and their ability to take care of them
selves.
Another important point in success
full fattening and the sole end of hog
breeding is to obtain large quantity
of meat, of good quality, in as short
a space of time as possible. A cheap and
quick fattening depends upon the
health and age of hogs, as well as the
season and condition of the food.
If our progressive milk and beef pro-
ducers have learned by dear experience
that they cannot afford to waste their
corn fodder, how much less can they af'
ford to treat with indifference even the
threshed out straw, which contains 81
pounds more of digestible food material
per ton than does the former.
Peas sown early in spring as possible
make good feed for hogs. This crop is
not appreciated by our farmers as /
should be, and they probably will be il
the near future. They are ready fol

MARKETING WHEAT.
IOWA Alliance Advises Western Farm
ers to Hold Their Crops for an
Advance In Price.

The Farmers alliance of Wapello
county, Ia, has issued the following ad'
vice to farmers of the state as to hold
ing wheat for higher prices: Within a
short time a steady advance up to the
75-cent mark at northwestern shipping
points is certain as death; and the farm
ers have the game in their own hands
if they play with little caution. The
reason upon which we base our faith in
the better price for wheat is that when
the crop of 1898 was harvested the
worlds supply from former years was
practically exhausted, and the bread
eating world is now drawing its sup
plies from the crop of the present year
In other years, and for many years, the
old stocks amounted to hundreds OF
millions of bushels when the crop OF
any given year was harvested. and in
reckoning On the worlds supply the
gamblers counted the old wheat as wei
as the new. This year there is no oil
wheat on which they can reckon. Th'
low price of wheat during ten year:
preceding 1897 was due not to surplus
in any given year, but to the accumula
tons of preceding years. The chic
cause has now temporarily disappeared
Again, the acute distress which fol
three or four years afflicted many farm
! ers in the northwest is no longer II

The Hens Need variety.

Instead of feeding wheat every day
the grain may be varied by simply al
lowing one kind of grain each day.
Oats may be given the first day, corn
The next and wheat the next. The cost
of food will be about the same as if but
one kind is given, but the fowls will
enjoy the changes of grain and keep in
better health. If meat, milk and bulky
food are also added to the rarion the
hens should lay, provided they have
warm quarters and are not overfed. Va.
riety should always be the rule, for
even the grains offer in their compp-
Sition.-- Dakota Field and Farm.
