HHhV Reef.

twenty-five years ago practically no
beef steers were marketed as two
year-olds. This was partly because
few cattle were then of the early ma
turing type and could not be made
sufficiently fat at two years and part
ly because the markets then called for
heavier cattle. Today the we'll round
ed 1000 pound two-year-old commands
as high a price per pound as the
large framed -year-old Of equa3
flesh. Because of this and the fact
that the younger steers are more eco
nomical feeders it is important for tn
feeder to be able to select the early
maturing kind.-Breeder' Gazette.

At The Hague Court.

Dangerously near to actual hostIll-
ties were Great Britain and Russia
when the former proposed arbltatlon.
Russia accepted the invitation yes
terday and the Hague will be the
scene of the inquiry. Spain will be
asked to the injury. Spain will be
asked to permit the Russian ships con-
cerned in the affair III the North sea
to remain at Vigo till the conclusion
of the inquiry.
In the olden days British and Rus
sian ships would have been exchang-
ing shots by this timeand great war
would have been inaugurated, but the
method of settlement chosen is by far
the better one. tits a demonstration
of the usefulness of the Hague triou-
nal and indication that sometimes
lead to war will be settled by arbi-
tration as years pass.
It is hard to see how Russia can
escape the payment of heavy in
demnity, the tender of au humble
apology and the infection of adequate
punishment upon the guilty officers.
The bombarement of the Hull fishing
feet was blunder. if you please, but
a most outrageous one.
The excuse offered that there were
Japanese torpedo boats among the
fishing crafts in ridiculous. If boats
had been chartered at Hull or else
where to destroy the Baltic fleet the
fact would have been known at all
the capitals of Europe at once.
Baron Hayashi, japanese minister
to Great Britain, says no vessels
were obtained from Sweden or Great
Britain.
The attitude of France had an i'm
portrait bearing upon the case. Am
bassador Cambon exerted his inhu-
ence with the British government
and the Russian embassy to bring
about a peaceabIe settlement.

enough of war the present and the

PROFITS IN StiE.E.P.
What One Grower Accomplished
with am Ordinary Flock.

Sheep growers are continually assert
ing that their occupation is the most
profitable in which a farmer can en-
gage Not only is this true in Michi-
gan, but in her sister states as well.
At the recent meeting of the Illinois
Live Stock Breeders association at Ur-
bana Mr. Jacob Zeigler related an ex-
perience in sheep feeding which should
go far toward substantiating the claim
Mr.. Zeiglar said:
'In 1901 | raised from a flock of fif-
ty-eight ewes fifty-fiye lambs. | fed
the ewes two bushels Of corn and one
bushel of oats per day, besides all the
lambs were fed a mixture of ground
corn, oats and cottonseed meal.
I'm three months time I shipped the
flock to Chicago and sold the lambs at
IL cents pound, or So apiece. The
ewes sold for mutton at $6.40 per head.
In the three months the ewes ate four
bushels of grain per head. The lambs
ate twenty-five bushels of the mixture
and gained 2.365 pounds, allowing ten
pounds for birth weight, or ninety-four
pounds per bushel of grain. which at
II cents per pound paid $11.35 per bush
ell Of grain. Neither my calves nor my
pigs ever did half as well.
'The ewes sold for $6.40; plus $1.2O,
the ten pound birth weight of lamb,
would be $7.60. Take from this the
first cost of ewes, $3.50; five months
pasturage, 80 cents; four bushels Of
grain, $1.4O; 200 pounds clover hay, so
cents, and 80 cents shipping expense,
or total expense of $500, profit Of
$1.4O on a $3.50 investment. Besides
this, the sheep were sheared and raised
another lamb during the same year.
This was not an exceptionally good
flock of sheep. Any farmer can obtain
like results if he will give proper care
and attention to his sheep"

that there is so much difference in the
merits of the Shorthorn, Angus, Here

What Japan is Doing.

Since the beginning of hostilities
Japan has bought thirty-three
steamers of more than IS, 800 aggre-
gate tonnage, and chartered sew
enty- six vessels, with a total ton
mage of 16l, 800. The japanese
Togo KiSen Kaisha, or steamship
company, has declared its usual
dividend of II per cent. The com
pany is to construct two $4,000 ton
passenger steamers. Instead of or
dering these from some British Or
German ship building company, the
raw material will be bought and sent
to Nagasaki and the ship by the
Japanese shipbuildlng company at
that pert.
In spite of TIE war, no less than
eight steamers are now under con-
struction at the Mitsu Bishi Dock
yard aud Engine Works at Nagasa-
XII, Japan. One of these is for the
Seattle service. and will be launched
in November-6 600 tons. Five Of the
others are for service in the China
seas.
Japan is buying the locomotives
for the Korean railroads exclusively
in the United States, chiefly because
of more speedy delivery. 1t is
favoring England and the United
Stats in the purchase of material
for the new waterworks at Yoke
hama. England is particularly
favored for material for shipbuild-
ing and naval equipment. The
large war vessels built for Japan in
Germany were ordered to England
for their armament.
Cheap living is no longer the order
of the day in Japan. Small houses
rent for $25 a month. German %

Pure Bred Sires
For Beef Herd

Every breeder of live stock has two
great battles on hand. One of these is
the battle for improvement and the
other is the greater battle against the
deterioration of his herd. Many cattle
breeders seem to feel that when they
have become possessed of a pedigreed
bull their success as breeders is as
sured, says Kansas Farmer. They fail
to realize the fact that pedigree does
not make bull.
A pedigree is only the written as
surance that the ancestors of the ami
NAL have done we'll under proper care
and a promise that he will do we'll if
rightly handled. With a pedigree the
chances Of the animal proving himself
good one are excellent, though not
absolute. Without a pedigree it is
mere guesswork.
There are many unregistered bulls
that are good individuals, but crop
of their calves shows the weak points
in their ancestry, while their continued
use is sure to result in the deteriora-
ton of the herd. A pure bred bull that
is a good individual means not only an
assurance Of victory in the fight
against deterioration, but is a power
full instrument in the hands Of the
breeder in Lis battle for Improvement.
While it may sometimes be neces-
sary to outcross cattle for the sake Of
adding certain desirable points, it
should never be permissible to cross
breed them, and scrub bull should
never exist. Even poor steer is much
more valuable than poor bull because
he cannot injure the herd.
A ''good bulr' does not necessarily
mean a high priced one, but it does
mean a pure bred one.
Pure bred bulls are so cheap and
land values are becoming SO high that
the farmer must use them not only to
succeed, but to keep himself from fail
ing in his business.
Leader of the Herd.
In an article in Breeders Gazette on
judging cattle w. A. Harris says of the
head of the herd:
The head broad, strong, powerful,
curled like the front of Jove, with
horns of power, firm based and curved
in beauty; eyes full and bright, yet
