Cost of a Pound of Beef.

One who has followed carefully the
feeding experiments cannot but be i'm.
pressed with the great variation in
the amount of feed required to pro-
duce a pound of beef, says Professor
Frederick B. Mumford. l have given
this somewhat careful study, and |
have found that the number of pounds
of grain required to produce a pound
of gain at the different stations has
varied from two pounds to fifteen
pounds. Even when the same grain
ration is used the variations in the
amount of grain required to reduce
2 pound of gain are very great. In
one experiment at the Missouri expert
ment station, where corn was the
principal grain ration, three pounds
of corn were sufficient to produce one
pound of gain, while at the Kansas
station, where corn was the principal
grain ration, it required fourteen
pounds of corn to produce one pound
of gain. Now, if the profit is largely
dependent upon the amount of grain
required to produce a pound of beef,
then a knowledge Of the conditions
which make it possible to produce a
pound of beef with one-half the guam
tity Of grain will be Of the greatest
possible assistance in determining
upon the methods employed in profit
able cattle feeding.

Grain Ration for Steers.

In the heart of the corn belt, where
'eeding operations are conducted on a
much larger scale than In this state,
the steer is usually supplied corn ad
libitum, says Professor w. A. Henry
Often this grain is thrown to him In
such quantities that all of it is not
even swallowed, some falling to the
ground to be trampled under foot In
he filth, possibly to be picked up by
pigs running in the feed lot In many
Of our middle western states from
cases as much as thirty-fve pounds,
of corn are fed to the steer daily for
weeks at a time. Then, too, there is
little variety to the feed given. Some
times corn constitutes the sole con-
centrate and straw, hay or more often
cornstalks, constitute the only rough
age. 1t is true that as rule we in
Wisconsin do not place quite so much
grain before our steers as do the feed
ers farther south, but still the allow
ance is heavy, and there is often no
bought Of attempting to reduce it in
any way. When corn was cheap
only few dollars a ton-it did not
matter much whether the steer ate a
few pounds more or less, especially
in seasons when cattle sold well. The
cost Of corn, however, is steadily RI
sing, and this increase is not alto
gcther met by an equal rise in the
price of fat cattle. The burning ques-
ton, then, is, Is it possible to fatten
our steers on a smaller allowance of
grain than has been customary in the
past? In helping answer this ques
ton let me first call the attention to
feeding operations in Great Britain.
No one can say that the beeves of
Scotland and England when sent to
market are not well fattened. What
is the practice of the English and
Scotch farmer in regard to the
amount of grain which he allows his
bullocks? I have spent considerable
time in going through the literature
on the subject, and am surprised to
find that the British feeder gives to
his fattening beeves but small grain |
allowance. Searching authentic |
sources of information, find that the
usual grain allowance for the fatten-
ing steer in England and Scotland
ranges from six to eight pounds a
head daily. In few cases 1t reached
ton pounds, and in only one case out
Of score or more of reports have I
,ound 1t stated that so much as twelve
pounds of grain was fed to q steer
n single day, and this amount only
1t the close of the feeding period. The
grains used in Britain consist usually
II barley, cornmeal, cottonseed meal,
Ind linseed meal. You all know that

ions in Great Britain. With the
mall grain ration is fed from 80 to
90 pounds of sliced turnips, four or
I've pounds of cut straw, and from
i've to ten pounds of hay, either cut
IT long. On this ration the steer in
England and Scotland makes a gain
t between one and three-quarters
nd two pounds daily, or say, from
fly to sixty pounds per month. There
) no need of saying that the English
tockman does not fatten his bullocks
r that they are inferior to ours when
hey are sold for the block The

ALL SOCIETY TURNED OUT
TO SEE THE GREAT SHOW
Flower and Chvay of Birmingham Thronged in Large Num-
bers and Made the Affair Socially Brilliant Beautiful
Women and Handsome Gowns Lent Fine
Color to the Attractive Scene.
BY ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER.

There is, of course, no other scene like
that at the horse show.
The boxes, brilliant with color and scin-
tillating with lights, the gay throng, the
brilliant gowns the continuous chatter,
a burst of music, the well-groomed beau
ties dashing over the tanbark, the excite
ment when a favorite wins the ribbons.
1t is only at the horse show that life
ever seems to adjust the varying ele-
ments in Vanity Fair and adapts itself
to all classes.
1t was fair field and no favors.
Beauty sat In her box and divided at
tention with the tanbark.
Beauty, well-groomed, as conscious as
her rival in the box, dashed about the
glittering course
The gay chatter. the well-bred ap-
plause, the music, the summer night, the
odor of the tanbark.
Row after row of boxes, thickly studd-
ed with lights, and an interior massed
with color.
Promenades Aflutter.
The promenades ahutter with people
and the tanbark beyond magnificent
spectacle.
Picture all this and you will have
faint idea of Birminghams first horse
show.
Society was brilliantly in evidence on
the opening night of the show. The hun
dred boxes fronting directly on the tam
bark were filed with brilliant parties,
and the seats back of the boxes were
thronged.
The horse show could not have opened
, more brilliantly. Almost every one who
had guests for horse show week enter
tained at dinner last evening, but as these
were mostly informal events, society ar
rived somewhat early at the horse show.
and nearly all of the boxes were occu-
pied by o'clock.
AS Beauty Show.
The horse show as a beauty show was
distinct success. The gowns worn by
Birmingham women and by the many vis-
iting women would have been noticeable
at any of the horse shows, and every
feature of the horse show indicated that
society adapts itself to this form of
amusement even on an initial night.
The large number of visitors to the
horse show added to the brilliancy of the
evening, and on all sides was heard en-
thusastic comments on the success of
the opening night

included Col. and Mrs. A. M. Shook, Miss

AND MUSICAL PEOPLE.

Next Thursday night one of the most
attractive and pleasing programmes in
the history of the Music Club will be
given. The orchestra, under the direc-
torship of Mr.. A. c. Meyer, will fur
nish the first half of the programme,
and the second half will be composed
of miscellaneous numbers. The Or
chestra will give four movements of
the famous Haydn Surprise Sym
grammes of the great orchestras of the
world-and several other numbers. Mr..
Meyer has carefully and consistently
trained the orchestra for this pro-
gramme, and has rehearsed them for
it once a week without intermission
since it last appeared on Dec. IL. Aside
from the artist concerts of the club,
in the orchestra alone has been pre-
sented to the members this season a
feature well worth the membership in

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that will make
him feel better, because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic
disease. he no longer feels the buoy
ancy and vigor of twenty-five nor the
freedom from aches and pains he en-
joyed in earlier years. and he very nat
urally examines with interest any pro-
position looking to the improvement
and preservation of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care, there will be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
is one which interests not only every
man of fifty but every man, woman
and child of any age. because the whole
secret of good health, good blood,
strong nerves, is TO have a stomach
which will promptly and thoroughly di-
gest wholesome food because blood,
nerves, brain tissue and every other
constituent of the body is entirely the
product of digestion, and no medicine
or health" food can possibly create
pure DlOod or restore Shaky nerves,
when a weak stomach is replenishing
the daily wear and tear of the body
from mass of fermenting half digest
ed food.
No, the stomach itself wants help and
in no roundabout way either; 1t wants
direct, unmistakable assistance, such
as is given by one or two Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use give the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets contains di-
gestive elements sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such as
bread, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply another
name for starvation, and the use of
prepared foods and new-fangled break
fast foods simply makes matters worse
as any dyspeptic who has tried them
knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
I can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by ev-
erybody who is troubled in any Way
with poor digestion is because MANY
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold in
drug stores or is protected by trade
mark, must be a humbug whereas as a
matter of truth any druggist who is oh
servant, knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have cured more people of indi-
gestion, heart burn, heart trouble.
nervous prostration and run down con-
dition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions for
