The Good Beef Steer,

There is no one breed of beef cattle
better than all others under the circum-
stances and conditions. The trouble
with cattle from the butchers stand
point is too big shoulders, giving the
fore quarters too large proportion to
the rest of the carcass. The muscles
that are exercised the most are the
toughest; for this reason the inside
two-thirds of the round is good, while
the outside third is not 30 good. A
thick, mellow hide-not hard, harsh
hide-denotes more clean meat than a
thin hide. A straight back, well sprung
rib and width of loin indicates large
amount of the high-priced meats in a
carcass. The comparison of animals
in the show ring is often 80 close that
the awarding of the prize turns on a
very small point, as tie or dimple in
the back, which cuts no figure in the
usefulness or profit of the animal. A
typical beef animal should have thick
or neck than the dairy breeds, the flesh
should begin at the front; the animal
should have the greatest possible thick
ness of flesh along the back between
the shoulder, and the hips and the
width of the hip should be carried for
ward to the shoulders. The Angus are
the thickest-heshed beef cattle; their
greatest fault is too much of spread
of the shoulder blades at the top; they
do not mature quite as quick as the
Herefords. 1t would be hard to tell
which of the beef breeds at thirty
month"; old on the same care and feed
would make the greatest gain. Young
animals develop muscle along with the
fat, and when fattened young contain
larger proportion of lean meat to the
fat and are hence more profitable to the
butcher. The first 1000 pounds put on
steer is the cheapest as the animal is
growing as we'll as fattening and the
cost of increase Of weight increases

Beware of Ointments for CatarrhlThat
Contain Mercury

AS mercury will surely destroy the senes
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is tenfold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the genuine. 1t is taken
internally, and made in Toledo, o., by
F. j. Cheney & Co Testimonials free.
ca Sold by Druggists, price sew
enty-fve cents per bottle.
Halls Family Pills are the best.

About DehOrning.

The subject of dehorning has been
discussed in all phases within the past
few years but there are many points
yet that are not generally understood.
The facts evoked from the experience
of stockmen in dehorning cattle are
thus summarized by The American |
Stock Breeder.
1T is best to dehorn animals when |
calves, and the earlier the operation is
performed, after two or three days old, |
the better. The horn button may be |
lifted out with knife or removed with
special implements made for that pur-
pose known as the outcutter and gouge.
Dehorning by chemicals is generally
preferred to the use of these instru-
ments. Liquid chemical dehorners are
manufactured and sold to the trade and
| generally prove effective when proper
| ly applied, killing the horn germ and
even altering the development of the
head at the point on which the horn
would otherwise set. Stick caustic pot
ash will accomplish the same results,
but the men who make the liquid de-
horners warn against its use, contend
ing that it makes the head sore and
therefore stunts the calf.
ION the other hand, much weight of
veterinary Endorsement has been given
to the use of caustic potash. To apply
it, clip the hair around the embryo
horn, moisten the button and rub thor
oughly with the stick of potash, which
should be wrapped in paper to protect
the fingers. In using all chemicals
take care that they do not run down
into the eye of the calf.
"The saw was first used to dehorn
and is still in some favor, but the su-
perior convenience of the clippers has
about driven saws out of use. In saw
ing off horns the animals head must
be tightly tied to a post or held in q
chute, but this is not necessary in the
use of the clippers, although it is better
for an inexperienced operator with the
clippers to have the head secured.
With either implement cut as close to
the head as possible, taking little rim
of hair along with the horn. With the
saw the operator can cut a little closer
than with the clippers.
On no account attempt to cut above
the head; take little of the skull bone
rather than leave the matrix or base OF
the horn. If this is left stub horns
will grow. Do not be afraid to cut
close. The least sensitive part is jus,
at the matriX of The horn where the
arteries separate into capillaries. Much
misunderstanding has existed on this
point and many have made the well.
meaning but serious error of cutting
about halt-inch above the head. This
produces an ugly wound.
Seattle may be dehorned successfully
at any time of the year provided they
are not exposed to the flies or severe
cold. 1t is needless to use tar or any
other preparation on the wound except
to protect it from the flies. Big horns
may be as safely removed as little
horns and the older the animal the less
the loss of blood. The worst age al
which an animal may be dehorned is
from one to two years old. The horn
is then much more vascular, full Of
blood vessels, than when the animal
is older, and more liable to bleed. The
loss of blood will be small if the horn
is cut close to the head.
