JUDGING OF STOCK
POINTS TO BE LOOKED FOR in
BUYING AND RAISING BEEF
CATTLE.
Large Attendance at Iowa Agricultural
school-speciaI Short Stock Juds-
ing courses-of Interest to Stock
men.

The feat of having won the Spoohr
trophy at the International Fat Stock
exhibition held in Chicago recently for
the third successive time has turned
the eyes of all stock men to the work
being done by the boys in the animal
husbandry department at the Iowa Az
ricultural school in Ames. The spe-
cial short courses in stock judging at
present being given there are meeting
with greater success this year than ev-
err before. The enrolment is nearly
double that of last year.
Cattle Judging Commences.
That the production of beef cattle
is one of Iowas most popular indus
tries was attested by the greatly in
creased crowd in attendance on Janu-
airy IL, when beef cattle were taken
up.
Points to Look for in Beef Animal.
Professor Kennedy in opening the
subject said in part: "In judging fat
cattle the butchers preference must
be given chief attention; and he in
turn is guided by the tastes OF the con-
sumers. The loin, chops and hind
quarters of the fat steer furnish the
most toothsome cuts and we conse-
quently seek for animals that are good
in these respects.
"The buyer on the big markets is
the man on horseback. He rarely
handles an animal and judges of its
fitness for the block solely by the
sense of sight. Animals that are very
smooth on top of the shoulders, smooth
at the hook points and free from
patchiness at the tail head, appear bet
ter to the man on horseback than they
really are. That is, very smooth
animal will appear fatter than another
animal that is really carrying more

The steers have been purchased by
Mr.. Wait, of the Agar Packing Co., Des
Moines, Iowa, as follows: Jerseys,
$3.50 per hundred pounds live weight;
Holsteins, $3.S5; Angus, s4.75; Here
fords, $500; and Shorthorn. $5.75s
They were slaughtered yesterday by
men from the Agar Packing Co.
Quite number of the members of
the state legislature were present at
the stock judging on Saturday. Great
interest was manifested in the work,
and it was the general opinion that
another stock judging pavilion would
be needed before 1905 to accommodate
the crowds.

fat and flesh, but that happens to be
rough in the shoulders, hooks and at
the tail head.
Points Buyers Look To.
The men on horseback, who set the
prices on our cattle. look first of all
to dressing percentage. They must
know how much an animal will dress
out. If they estimate that an animal
will kill out, 60 pounds dressed weight
per 100 pounds live weight and the
animal actually dresses out but ], Sc
pounds per 100 live weight, then the
buyer has lost As pounds on 1900
steer. At 10c or 12c per pound this
means loss of from $500 to $500
per steer, and no buyer could hold his
job if he made many such plumbers.
"a high killing percentage is indi-
Gated by fine bone and light belly.
The second point the buyer looks to
is condition this is indicated by the
depth and evenness of flesh over all
parts.
Proportion of Parts.
"The third point he looks after is
proportion of ports. Two steers may
dress out exactly the same per cent
say 60 pounds per hundred pounds live
weight; but one may carry most of
this weight in the neck. forequarters,
and in the lower half of the body. AS
these are the cheap portions of the car
cass, cheap because the consumer does
not want them such steer would not
be nearly so Valuable as another that
carries most of this weight in the back,
loin, and headquarters, where the chief
value lies"
judge and Demonstration.
John Costing, of Kansas City, Mo-,
the eminent butcher judge and dem
onstrator on dressed meats, was pres
ent Monday afternoon, and gave a talk
on the animals which are to be used
in the slaughter test. These animals
have been fed by the Iowa Experiment
station for the past twelve months in
beef versus dairy type" experiment.
Two Jerseys, two Holsteins, two Angus
and two Herefords were used, and one
Shorthorn steer. a prize winner at the
International of 1902 and 1908, was
also used in the slaughter test The
weights of all the foods consumed by
each steer. and the gains in live
weight have been carefully kept, and
the animals will be followed through

will be used on next Thursday morn.

is known to all college men, will give

The greatest of interest is manifested
in this work, and it is a foregone con
clusion that the Animal Husbandry de
partment will have more work this
week than ever before.

MINNEAPOLIS AND INDIANAPOLIS
OF AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
AFTER "RUsTY" OWENS.
Local Twirler Has Contract With Ind-
annapolis But Manager of Mime
apolis Team Wants Him = Second
ottumwan to Land in Big League.

The season of 1904 will see anct her
Ottumwa young man playing in one of
the big baseball leagues in the person
Of Arthur P. (Rusty) Owens, who has
signed with Indianapolis in the Amer
lean association. and who is being
sought after by Manager w. H. Wat
kins, of the Minneapolis team in the
same league.
Last year Manager Watkins happen
ed in Rockford during the latter part
of the season and watched a game that
Owens pitched. Watkins was there for
the purpose of signing Hess, another
player on the team, but when he saw
the local twirler mystify his oppo-
nents with a varied assortment of
benders, and then discovered that
RUSTY was not bound by contract to
continue longer with Rockford, he i'm
mediately secured an interview and
went back to Indianapolis with Owens
name signed to contract with fiat
tering salary guarantee.
Owens Makes Good at Once.
The Three-I league closed its sea-
son several days in advance OF the
American association and Manager
Watkins sent for Owens to come and
assist in carrying off the remaining
games of the season for Indianapolis.
He went and in the first game he
pitched against Toledo he won handi-
ly and held his. opponents down to
four hits. Manager Watkins, who by
the way, has national reputation as
a team manager and has piloted more
pennant winning teams probably than
any other man now in the game, was
more than pleased with Owens game
and in fact the indianapolis fans to a
man were more pleased with the ad.
ton to the corps of twirlers. Since
y, Watkins has sold out his inter

If Manager Watkins is successful in
purchasing Owens release from the
Indianapolis club the local twirler will
next year wear Minneapolis uniform.
If not he will twirl for the team which
place at the top or near the top of
the percentage column of the Ameri-
can association. Wherever he goes,
Rusty" will carry the best wishes
of his Ottumwa admirers and his flu
ture career will be watched with deep
interest in this city.
