grasses you win not find large cows,

years a small bred animal win be-

Profit in Youno Animals.

The profit in beef and mutton pro
duction lies in the young animals.
There was a time. but that was many
years ago. when the big boned steer
that weighed 1900 to 1000 pounds
was looked for by the buyers OF
beeves. but now the animal that is
sought by the butchers is one that
weiFhs from 1900 to $500 pounds.
We have long since found out that
the cheapest meat is made on young
animals, and the money thus invested
is soonest ready to be turned over.
Not only is the money tied up long
est in old animals but the cost Of
producing meat on them is so great
that our best beef feeders are no
longer attempting to do that. The
method advocated now is to keep the
animals growing right along from
birth to the period when they weigh
what che market demands. Steers
are now ready for the market at two
years old or under. If all the animals
shipped to the stockyards were of
this kind there would not be much
complaint about poor returns in stock
breeding and beef making. A good
many farmers are still trying to make
profitable beef on old steers. But
the young steer Is the only animal
that gives US any promise Of q
profit.

The Australians never seem TO get
done considering milk and butter pre-
servatives In some form or other. Or
account Of having to send some OF
their products thousands Of miles TO
market, they are perhaps more preju-
diced in favor Of preservatives than
are the people in this country where
the markets are nearer the places OF
production. At Sydney a parliament
airy committee has been investigating
the use Of boracic acid in butter, and,
In report expresses the belief that
70 grains Of boracic acid per pound OF
butter viii do no harm. II is to be
inferred that above the 25 grains
harm will result. Whether this be a
point Of danger or not we do not
know, but the principal thing is that
there is a danger point. The man
that buys butter doctored with boracic
acid has no means OF telling whether
there be 25 or more grains Of the pre-
serYative in It. There is likely to be
more rather than less. as there is al
ways a tendency to overdo a matter
OF that kind. It must be remembered
that scientists are not the ones that
add the preservatiyes. but usually ig-
norant people that know very little
about such matters. What makes the
matter worse is that the men that use
preservatiyes are generally Of the
opinion that they are harmless and
are hence ready to use all they can
afford to.

The soft corn problem is a serious
one. In many sections Of our state
during the past two years there were
large areas on which the corn was
worthless from a market standpoint.
It must either be fed to live stock OF
allowed to rot in the field. To the
man who had plenty Of stock the
commercial value Of this product was
not serious question. He could
solve the same by feeding It to his
animals. We have a large number
Of farmers, however, who belong to
the class called grain growers. Thus,
they had TO either sell this soft corn
for feeding purposes, or else allow It
to rot in the fields. To them the
commercial value Of this product was
an important question. It was also
an important question to the cattle
feeders who had to purchase soft
corn for feeding purposes. We re
ceived a great many requests from
parties belonging to both classes ask
ing for information concerning the
feeding value Of this soft corn.
We therefore conducted some ex-
periments with the hope Of giving
them some aid. It is very likely that
In the future. we will conduct some
further experiments with the hope OF
finding some feed stuffs which per
haps can be fed to advantage with
soft corn for fattening cattle. Many
attributed the large losses which re-
suited in many sections of the country
last year from the cattle feeding busi-
ness to the fact that the corn was
OF poor quality. Perhaps some Of
these losses might be attributed to
this cause. In the majority Of cases,
however, l think the trouble was due
to the fact that feeding cattle in ths
fall of 1902 were unusually high IN
price, and the finished cattle in the
spring Of 1903 were rather low in
price. In too many instances cattle
which we're bought for FIVE cents per
pound as feeders had to be sold for
less when sent to the market as fin'
ished animals

Quality and uniformity are the two
main factors to be considered by the
buttermakers at present and for each
step he is taking these two factors
should be kept In view and be the
main centers for all his labors, says
NJ. Mortensen. Some think that In
order that '1ch butter may be pro-
duced 1t is necessary that the butter
be made in smaller creameries where
all of the territory is within easy
reach OF the factory. Others claim
that the central plants have advan-
tages over the smaller ones in manu-
featuring butter Of that quality. while
still others claim that this is easily
done in a whole milk plant, but not
in a creamery run on the hand sepa-
rator plan. These various ideas are
not really true. We are able to make
a high grade of butter under any OF
these systems providing the proper
methods are adopted. Some OF the
main factors to be considered in this
connection are, the condition of raw
material. pasteurization and the use
Of commercial starters.
