Some Points on Cattle Feeding

Some Points on Cattle Feeding.
Bulletin 76 Of the Mississippi sta
ton says:
Abundant feed for cattle during
four or five months of late fall, win
ter and early spring is most inn
portant matter. Beef steers will mar
ket almost an unlimited amount of
feed, but not at a very high price.
The farmers of the corn and alfalfa
sections of the country depend on
beef steers and hogs to market much
Of their crop. They will feed a steer
half a bushel OF corn a day and the
necessary roughage and are satisfied
with a gain of five pounds for each
bushel of corn fed. If they can mar
ket their alfalfa hay at $500 a ton by
feeding or otherwise they have made
good profit on their land.
The man who does not own some
land and who does not have some
thing or who does not wish to grow
something for cattle to eat has no use
for cattle. The function of live stock
on the farm is to convert grain and
grass and roughage. that are produced
on the farm, into meat or other live
stock products. AS a people we are
accustomed to high priced feeds and
10 buying large amounts OIL STdlH II
Is equally true that our farmers de-
pend on the oil mills to buy their cot
ton seed and they take whatever
these mills offer. There is a demand
for cattle on the farms to eat cotton
seed or the meal and hulls after the
oil is extracted. 1t is desirable to
grow more restorative crops and with
these and manure to make the land
more productive. Oil mills do not
pay high prices for seed. Good cat
tie doubtless would give as good and
perhaps better returns for them and
leave the fertilizing elements on the
farm as an additional profit.
In determining the relative values
of feeds the results obtained by this
station show that ton of cotton seed
will produce about one-sixth more
beef than ton of corn, and ton of
cotton seed meal will produce twice
as much. Cowpea hay and Johnson
grass hay are about equal in value.
One and a half pounds of corn slower
are about equal in value to one pound
of cowpea hay. The cotton seed hulls
that we have been using this season
are nearly equal in value to good
Johnson-grass hay-12 pounds of the
bulls giving as good results as 10
pounds of hay.

German Butter Trade.

It is evident that Germany is in the
future to be a good market for butter,
and that she will soon cease to be
a competitor in the sale of butter in
the English market She has in the
past been supplying herself and
sending some butter abroad. But
this exported butter has decreased
year by year till now she is export
ing little and importing a good deal
Her butter exporters claim that they
find the Canadians and Australians
too strong to compete with in the
English market: but the truth of the
matter seems to be that the fncreas.

White oIeo at Illinois Fair.

Probably it will do little good to
remark that on the state fair grounds
at Springfield last week white oleo-
margarine was being used freely by
the restaurants. The writer saw hun
dreds eating it, but heard no COM
plant. 1t was evidently looked upon
as quite the proper thing, when q
cheap meal was being set up to the
visitors. The people OF course had
the right to refuse to eat the oleo,
or even to eat at the restaurants
handling the oleo, but in that case
they would simply have had to go
without their dinners, on some OF the
days when the attendance was the
largest. The use of white o1eo at the
time and place mentioned is but one
straw pointing to the probability that
white oleo is to become popular. The
future verdict is going to be in this
order of approval: Good butter,
oleo, poor butter. The white oleo is
going to outclass the poor butter. The
maker Of poor butter is to find him
self at the foot of the line as to repu-
tation and profits--Farmers' Review.

Process Butter Makers Organize.


About forty manufacturers of proc
ess butter have organized themselves
into an association under the name OF
the National Association of Process
Butter Manufacturers. They have
set forth their reason for combining
as 1.-The desire to prevent the 1n5u-
rious effects of individual compeu-
tion." In other words they will be
in a position to fix the price that shall
be paid for the butter that goes into
their factories to be worked over. IL
they are paying twelve cents for 1t
now they will doubtless find eleven
cents all it is worth and a little later
may conclude that ten is enough The
butter makers of the country may as
well settle down to the conclusion
that the price fixed will always be In
favor of the factories and not of the
country butter maker or of the corner
grocery keeper that sells it to them.
AT this time about the only way to
escape from a condition where the
maker of the butter will have moth
ing to say about the making of the
price is to learn to make butter SO
good that it will not have to be sold
to the manufacturers of process but
ter.

Points in Swine Judqinq.

Prof w. ]. Kennedy gives the fol-
lowing suggestions regarding some of
the points to be noted in judging
swine:
Head-A short, broad head especial
ly wide between the eyes and the ears
is usually associated with width and
compactness of body throughout and
is an indication of an aptitude to fat
ten rapidly. A snout of medium length
is desirable.
Eyes-The eyes should be clear.
large. wide apart, and free from
wrinkles or folds of fat, which often
causes blindness.
Ears-A small, fine ear indicates re-
finement throughout This is desir-
able The carriage of the ear will de-
pend upon the parentage of the hog,
being erect in the Berkshires, half
dropping in the Poland-China, and al
most wholly dropping in the Duroc
Jersey and most of the large white
hogs.
Jow1-A broad, neat, smooth, firm
jowl is desirable. .Flabbiness of jowl
due to excess of fat in this region is
very Objectionable.
Neck-The neck should be short,
thick and deep. 1t should blend
smoothly into the shoulder vein and
shoulder without any depression.
Shoulder and Shoulder vein-The
shoulder vein is that portion just in
front of the shoulder where the neck
joins the shoulder. Fullness in this
part is very desirable, as it usually
results in smoothly covered wide
shoulder. The shoulder should be
broad, deep and compact on top. Prom
inent shoulder blades and slackness
between the same are very objection
able.

Biggest Mixer Not Always Best
A cow produces 400 pounds butter
In one year and she consumes $50
worth of feed; estimating the butter
to be worth 20 cents per pound, this
gives you a gross income of $50;
minus the $50 cost of feed, and we
have a net profit of $50. Surprising
another COW produces 800 pounds OF
butter and only consumes $25 worth
of feed. We have a gross income of
$50 OF q net profit of $35, which is
IS more than the COW which produced
100 pounds more butter, which, with
q. herd of 20 or 80 cows, would
amount to quite an item. These are
figures which are duplicated every
year on q number of dairy farms. 1

the country are realizing more fully

record, and the insignificance of q

A Conflict ever Swiss Greece

Henry H Morgan. United States
Consul at LucerEe, Switzerland re-
ports to the government:
There is a conflict between tie
producers and the dealers in Swiss
cheese in Switzerland, causing a sus-
pension of the usual business OF the
season, through which our own deaf
ers in this article might profit the
conflict is caused by the dealers III
sisting that the producers shouli
comply with the old-fashioned Gus
tom of giving as bonus an addl-
tional per cent of the purchased
weight. The same difficulty occurred
last year, and American buyers pur-
chased direct from the producers but
the latter soon gave in and their en-
tire output was Immediately bought
by the Swiss dealers.
This year, the Dealers Association
has agreed to impose penalty or
1000 francs (s193) on any member
of the association who buys cheese
without the bonus of per cent and
in retaliation 500 cheesemakers
have entered into an agreement not
to give more than the weight actually
bought and paid for, in default or
which they bind themselves to the
payment of a fine of from 1000 to
5000 francs ($193 to $57e)-
The situation offers an excellent
opportunity for foreign dealers to buy
the finest and most valuable Swiss
product at an exceptionally low price.
Upon reliable authority, I am In
formed that French dealers have al
ready awaited themselves of the open
ing.

DIsPENsARY IN CAROLINA.

The report of South Cardinals dis
pensary commissioners shows that the
profit to the State on the sales of liquor
last year amounted to S545, 248 This
amount goes to the local and State
school fand. The gross sales of the
States dispensaries amounted to So, :
228, 681, and the cost of the liquors was
$1,G17, 913 With running expenses add
ed to this the State is left profit of
about 30 per cent. Thus from finan-
cial point of view the dispensary law
is a success. It seems to be successful
in other ways also South Carolina has
apOpulation of less than I, 500, 900 New
York City, with less than three times
the population of South Carolina, pays
three times as much for liquor licenses
alone as the cost of the total amount
of liquor consumed in South Carolina.
That is to say, IN proportion to inhabi-
tants New York City pays more for
liquor license than South Carolina pays
for liquor. This indicates vast diff
ference between the two IN the matter
Of liquor consumption, or else there Is
large amount of illicit liquor con-
sumed by the South CarolinIans, which
is not probable, as the dispensary law
is pretty strictly enforced and the peo-
pie have become used to it. This dis
pensary system seems to have the eff
feet of reducing the amount of drink
ing - especially what is termed social
drinking.

Dyspepsia Cure

Starvation seems strange remedy for any
disease. Yet starvation by rigorous diet
was once generally resorted to in cases Of
Indigestion or other stomach trouble. Even
yet it is sometimes tried. Such a
remedy is worse than useless. Every
day Of life consumes portion Of the tissues
of the human body. The food we eat serves
to repair this waste and you can't build up
the system by Withholding material for the
purpose. If the stomach is in such condi-
tion that it cannot furnish it the task must
be performed without the stomach's assist
ance. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only
preparation which accomplishes this. There
are others which act on certain kinds of
food, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only
one which digests them all as the stomach
digests them. Man is so constituted that
he needs variety of food and to reduce this
variety always produces bad results.

What the stomach needs is rest. To OBJ

necessary Eat all the good food you want,
build up the system and at the same time
relieve the stomach from all res possibility.
The rest will restore it to its natural cOndi-
ton and soon effect a complete cure. This

In ninety-nine cases in a hundred indiges-
tion is due to lack of some of the elements
which constitute the natural digestive
juices, usually to the absence of hydrochlo-
ric acid from the stomach. It is by the &C
tion Of these juices that food is reduced to
a form in which it can be transformed into
living tissue. With any of them lacking it
is easy to see that the process of digestion
cannot be perfectly performed.
With the single exception Of Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure all preparations for the relief Of
Indigestion lack certain of these elements.
Consequently they cannot digest all classes
Of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains
them all. It will digest anything that the
healthy stomach can digest. It's natures
own cure.
Don't resort to stimulating tonics. Such
drugs simply urge the already oyerworked
