From the present outlook there will be

Young Animals In Demand.

In order to supply the demands of the
present day market for young animals
it is necessary to employ improved
blood, says st. Louis Republic. 1t is
impossible to make scrub steer salts
factorily thick at the age of twenty or
twenty-fo four months, although this
may be done with any of our recogniz-
ed beef breeds, even if the feeder is
possessed of only average skill.
In the future we believe that the
market will demand even younger ami
mails than it does at present, and In
view of this it becomes more and more
necessary for men to build up their
grade herds by the use Of pure breeds
or to raise the pure breeds out and out.
The difficulty of making beef raising
or pork raising pay on 500 land must
be solved by raising animals that ma
ture early and feeding them in such a
way that when they are marketed they
are just what the market demands.

Brewers Grains For Horses.
The following ration has been used
at the New Jersey experiment station
and was found very satisfactory when
fed to street car horses, says American
Agriculturist: Hay, six pounds; wheat
pounds; dry brewers grain, eight
pounds. The veterinarian In charge Of
the horses stated that the brewers
grain produced no ill effects and that
the horses were healthy and active. He
found that one pound Of brewers grain
was about equal to one pound Of oats.
