The old-fashioned 100 and 1900
pound steer is going out of date. 1t
seems likely that the 1900 and 1900
pound steer is to follow. Both at home
and abroad the buyers are demanding
lighter weights. Possibly this is fad,
but 1t seems to- haves vitality in it if it
is, and as the farmers business is to
provide the kind of a product the buy
er wants, he will have to yield to the
inevitable and modify his farming OPP
erations accordingly
We do. not know whether our people
have the same luck as we had, but
when we were in the business of feed
ing cattle and went on to the market
with lot of big cattle, the buyers
wanted something else. And then,
when we shipped in lot of light cat
tie, they wanted big cattle. They al
ways wanted something we did not
have. There will no doubt be a de-
mand for a reasonable number of big,
heavy cattle, and If these are in ex-
cess the price will drop, and if lighter
cattle are in excess and the heavy cat
tie in light supply the price of the
heavy will of course advance and the
light fall. Nevertheless, there seems
to be an unmiStakable demand for
lighter weights, even for the export

or less, although as the shipment is
by the head, it costs them more per
pound to export these cattle than it
does the heavy.
The fact seems to be that the con-

This means that we must breed for

learn how to feed that class of cattle
and it must ever be remembered that

from that of the steer from eighteen to

the mature steer we are simply putting
on fat to make the muscle already

ting fat between the muscles when we
can and inside or outside of them when
we cannot. When we are feeding
