MAKING BABY BEEF.
Constant Demand for 1t.


Cottrell furnished them with
some valuable information res
pecting the raising of beef.
He asserted positively:
That the small farmer can
market beef animals at IL or Ia
months profitably.
That such cattle must be sold
in April, May and June. before
grass cattle come in and when
butchers want light cuts.
That baby beef can be pro-
duced at half the cost of a ma
ture beef.
That a constant demand for
the article exists.
That heifers can be marketed
most profitably at that age.
Prof. Cottrell's talk was OF
absorbing interest. He related
how 1870 head of calves, some
range feeders, Others picked up
around Manhattan and the rest
bred on the state farm averag'
ing 400 pounds when put on feed
at weaving time, had been fed
seven months and sold with an
average gain of 400 pounds
fetching top prices.
While Kansas feeders usually
take from nine to fifteen hun
dred pounds of grain to put on
one hundred pounds of meat,
and Prof. Henry says in his
book 1000 pounds is the aver
age, these calves, Prof. Cottrell
said, sold when a year old, con
sumed only 500 pounds OF grain
to put on 100 pounds of meat,
this being the great advantage
of making baby beef. He had
ascertained from packers that 9
steady demaud existed for this
class of beef and urged farmers
to go into raising it. April
May and June are the bes
months to market it. Butchers
then want light cuts with nj
waste of fat and bone; late
they can handle heavier carcas
ses. The worst time to marke
baby beef is in July, Angus
and September when it comes
into competition with grass
stuff.
| "If we can put this beef OF

MAY TIE UP STREET CARS
Chicago in Grave Danger of Trouble
that VIII Pr~ecipItRte Strike on
All of the Lines.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Grave possibilities Of
a strike that may tie up all the street rail-
way lines Of the west and north sides Of
this city confront the officials of the Union
Traction company.
Today by an overwhelming vote the local
union OF the Amalgsmated Association Of
Street Car Employees refused to accept the
proposition made by President Roach sew
eral days ago, The overtures OF the COM
pany, which included an increase Of cent
an hour in wages, the dissolution Of a rival
employees association and the employment
OF none but union men was ballotted on by
nearly 1900 men yesterday.
The votes were counted this morning and
although no public statement was made OF
the vote 1t was estimated that the radical
men carried the referendum against the
company by nearly ten to one. An agree
ment between the union and the railway
company exists whereby disagreement shall
be settled by arbitration.
Wiiiiem Mahon, international president
OF the street car men, exeTted his influence
to avert any strike action and to urge that
the union live up to its laws. A rupture.
however, occurred between the local ~ofncials
and President Mahon and he left their meet
