Investigations conducted by the Iowa
and other stations indicate quite clear
iy that good pasture cannot be readily
improved on for fattening cattle during
the summeyseason. says @. +. Curtis OF
the Iowa experiment station. This Is
particularly true OF the pasture from
the middle OF May to Aug. I and equal
~ true later under proper management.
Somewhat larger gains can be made by
the addition OF a liberal grain ration,
but the increased gains will seldom
pay for the feed consumed, and this
will be particularly true at the present
high prices OF grain. On that account 1
would advise limiting the grain ration
during the early part OF the season and
would not aim to have the cattle on full
grain feed before the first or middle OF
September. but the feed may be grad
ually increased from Aug. /. This
method should give n daily gain OF not
less than two pounds per head from
the start until the full feeding period
is reached. and the gain should then
reach three pounds per head daily dur
Ing the autumn months. 1 would also
advise making use OF the pasture as
late In the season as possible. This
may be done by holding n field OF good
grass In reserve or by providing liberal
range. The autumn is the ideal season
OF the year FOR grazing where the pas
lures have not been too closely eaten.
The cattle should derive as much bene-
at from the pasture in October as In
June. " not more. and the conditions Of
climate and temperature and the nutri-
tive quality of the grass are better.

Baby Beef.

While the receipts of cattle in the
market centers are increasing in num-
bers, the cattle are decreasing in
weight; consequently 1t takes an In
creased number OF head to aggregate
rs many pounds OF dressed meat as a
much less number OF cattle would ag-
gregate n few years ago. Since baby
beef has become popular the tendency
has been to market cattle younger and
lighter, but this year with feed scarce
and high the number OF lightweight
steers marketed has broken the record.
However. since it has become fashiona-
bic and popular to mature cattle at an
earlier age 1t is doubtful If heavy
weight steers will ever be much in de-
mand in future In other words, the
chances are that baby beef will bring
the fanciest prices and prove most
profitable TO the feeders.-Farm and

Advantage of Good Blood.
The late Kirk r. Armour Of the Ar
mour Packing company OF Chicago
was not only practical packing house
man, but also Il lover of imported live
stock. Such 4 man was above mere
fads I'm breeding, because his business
forced him 10 consider the utility OF
live stock. and his efforts were con-
stantly directed toward the blending
OF good breeding with usefulness.
Without combination the breeder OF
pure breds might as well go out OF
business. The following remarks OF
the deceased packer should be taken
20 heart by all stockmen, whether
breeders OF grades or pure breds:
The sale OF product increases d.
rectly In proportion 10 the possibility
OF Offering a good article at n fair
price. The more general the improve
ment In cattle the greater the increase
OF beef consumption. From an animal
OF poor quality only the loins and ribs
find n ready market. In n good animal
the butcher is not only able TO dispose
OF the whole carcass more readily, but
the consumer is able TO get a choice
piece without being forced TO take the
more expensive cuts.
The man who sticks year in and
year out to the use OF n good pure bred
bull will make better showing than q
man who economies on a bull for fear
that cattle will not always bring their
present values"
Quality and Stse of Cattle.
The breeder who encourages the in
PRODUCTION OF n bull into his herd with
n widely differing type from the fe-
males must expect great variation In
both size and quality Of the progeny
OF such matings. Such breeding en-
courages variation. when the thing
that should be aimed at is a smooth,
sleek condition that shows no evil
dence of protruding ribs and hip bones.
The nearest that one can keep to such
a condition the better will be the quail
ity OF the offspring as compared with
the progeny from animals or less
thrifty condition.
A lack OF care OF the cow herd dur
ing the summer reduces the size OF the
calf. and carelessness OF the weaned
during the first winter also has n
strong tendency to dwarf the size.
A high development OF ged flesh
and rounded beef has come only
through careful selection and good
feeding. To maintain size continuous
good feeding is necessary.-ProfeSsor
