belt for finishing period. The ranch
men have by the use of good bulls
made 4 wonderful change in the char
ncter Of western cattle. 1t Is now possi-
bic TO buy at the principal cattle mar
kc,s range cattle almost pure bred and
Of great uniformity Of type. The farm
ors Of the corn growing sections must
meet the competition of the ranches by
growing better class Of steers, and to
do this they must breed with def
mite object in view, avoiding the cross
Ing of beef and dairy cattle.
With cheap corn our methods OF
feeding have been comparatively waste
ful. In the rise of the price of land
and of the crops grown thereon meth
DDS of feeding must be improved. Not
only must the more common feeds be
fully utilized. but the feeder must be
on the lookout for supplementary feeds
from oil mills, factories, etc, in order
to reap the more profit. Formerly the
principal grain feed in most sections
where cattle were fattened was ear
corn, it being shoveled out to them to
their full capacity to consume ii.
The cattle feeding industry is now
becoming more varied in the methods
employed in different sections In the
semiarid regions of the west they are
using alfalfa and Kaffir corn and in the
neighborhood of sugar factories sugar
beet residues; in the corn belt corn and
corn stover and variety of supple
mentary feeds as gluten meal. oil meal,
ETC.; near the cotton states corn and
eottonseed meal in varying proportions
form the principal grain feeds. with
corn stover and clover hay for rough
ness In Kentucky blue grass forms
large part of the roughneBs, especially
in the central portion OF the state, and
great many cattle are fed in the
neighborhood of the distilleries Oh slop,
using wheat straw and cottonseed bulls |
for roughness
The fact seems warranted that In
Kentucky, with a residue Of blue grass
corn fodder and hay, with some grain |
and a reasonable price for certain by |
products, it may be profitable to feed |
cattle, On the other hand, TO buy the |
cattle and then to buy the feeds makes
1t doubtful proposition. The factors
that may be against profitable cattle
feeding under these circumstances are
the local high prices OF feeds the lack
Of uniformity in the feeding cattle and
the distance from the best markets.

A RICH FIND BY PROF. SKEATS,
The GeOI0glst Picks up a Six
Hundred Dollar Nugget Near
Yuma, Arizona.

Prof +. NJ Skeats. the chemist
and geologist of Ell Paso, returned
few days ago from Yuma, A T..
where he has been engaged in ex-
perimenting upon a group Of
placer claims, which were diseov-
cred by him in California, twelve
miles north of Yuma.
The claims were accidentally
found while Prof. Skeats was ex-
amining the ground for traces of
oil, and since then assessment work
has shown that the field is rich,
both in -four and course grained
gold,
The other dsy, during the assess.
ment work, nugget of gold worth
5000 was found and Mr.. Skeats
says that the finding of nuggets
valued at from $40 to $50 is a com
mon occurrence.
Within the next week com.
pany will be formed, capitalized at
S6OO,OO0, for working the field.
1t is hydraulicing proposition,
and the scheme is to pump the
water from the Colorado river at
Yuma, bringing it in sluices to the
discovery ground. Assays and
tests Of the ground made by Prof
Skeats duriog his two months stay
in the region, SHOW that it will run
from 80 cents TO So in the yard OF
gravel.
Ed NJ. Sturges, who left Wednes-
day, to take up his residence in
San Diego, Cal, is to manage the
property,
Prof Skeats says that the forma-
tion is such that he is positive that
there is the same oil basin on the
land that exists in the Bakersfield
region, only that it is more eXten
slVe.
The company is spending slO,-
coo in prospecting for oil, being
now engaged in sinking 8O0-foot
we'll. If this is successful, a tcrrig
drill will be placed in position,
and the business carried on in a
systematic manner-Revjer.

iomc General Points and the Ken
tHclSJ outiooiS III Particular.
In feeding cattle the usual practice is
10 take the animal from grass at about
eighteen molGbs Of age and to feed
heavily on coleontrated rations during
Geveral months, During this period the
framework Of the animal is rounded
out and FIT deposited among the organs
Rnd tissues Of the body. The tendency
for several years has been toward the
fattenin% Of younger animals. The
fouryear-oId steer is thing of the
past, while The thrce-year-old steer is
rare. In some sections, especially
where the feeding period is long by
reason Of the hard winters. some cattle
are marketed as long yearlings. having
baan fed continuously and sold as
baby beef"
The source of feeding cattle is with
the general farmer and western ranch
man. The western cattle that were for
merly marketed from grass are being
shipped more and more into the corn
