VALUE OF HEEFER BEEF

The British market does not dScrim-
mate against hclfcrs as the American
market does. In fact, 1t pays slight
premium for them, claiming that they
have more flesh in proportion to bone
and finer flesh than steers have, says
National StOCkman.
That part of the discrimination
against heifers Is unwarrantcd the
Iowa experiment station has proved by
finishing steers and helfers, selling
them on the market and following
them through the slaughter house. 1t
was found that while the steers killed
slightly better there was not enough
difference to Justify the premium of n
dollar per hundredweight alive, at
which they sold. Based on the returns
made by the dressed carcass and the
byproducts, the relative prices were:
Steers, 1915 per hundredweight; spray.
ed hcifcrs, $537 per hundredweight
and open hefers, $3.50 per hundred

found in the quality of steer and heifer

A good share of marketable cattle
in Native territory has been put
forward, and runs IN last ten days
have not been near as heavy as
expected. Not only that, but a
bigger percentage of stockers and
feeder has been included since
warm weather set in leaving sup
ply of killing cattle still shorter,
and this has caused the late adj
vance.
Sheep and lambs are on the
down grade this week. Sheep
have lost 10 to % cents, lambs %
to 40 cents. Prices are still very
high, however, and feeders are
making plenty of money. 1t APP

Rules For Determining Their Age
by the Teeth.

Rules For Determining Their Age
by the Teeth.
Under ordinary conditions it is safe
to take the teeth as n sure indication Of
q Sleeps age, says Edward Van AL
styne in Rural New Yorker. or course
with some breeds or individuals that
mature early there might be little
variation. The following are the ac-
cepted rules and may be found useful
In determining the age of sheep:
At one month there are eight tempo
rnry front teeth or incisOrs always in
the lower jaw and three temporary
molars on each side of each Jaw. At
three months there will be added a per.
manent molar to the three temporary
ones. At nino months there will APP
pear the second permanent molar. At
from twelve to fourteen months the
first pair Of permanent incisOrs or
front teeth appear.
At eighteen months there will be the
third permanent mOlar. At from TWEEN
ty-one to twenty-five months there will
be four permanent incisors. At twenty
seven months the temporary molurs
drop out and permanent ones take
their place. At thirty months there
will be the six permanent inclsors.
At from three years and four TO six
months all the eight permanent incl
sors have appeared, and the sheep may
be said to have full mouth After
this II is not 80 easy To tell, but If the
teeth are even ana the mouth full one
may take II to be bctwccm four and
five years. From this time ON the gen
eral condition of the sheep ana the
good or bad state Of the teeth will in.

ably kept or not.
Those accustomed to them can very
readily pick out an old sheep by the
look of its face. When the teeth begin
TO get short or the face begins to take
on an aged look they would better be
disposed Of. Nor is il wise to wait that
time. After sheep gets five years or
past ana is fat never give it an op.

Must Shelter Your Cattle.

Sterling News.
This winter has demonstrated
the fact that the old fashioned
method of letting cattle take care
of themselves on the range is a
thing of the past. The day is
here when he who would raise
cattle for profit must be prepared
to take care of them in such
spells of weather as we have ex-
perienced within the last month.
We learn that one outfit on the
plains lost about 1000 cattle dur
ing the last cold spell. This is a
loss of about $4,000. Where
these cattle died there is not the
slightest apology for shelter or
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. natural nor
artificial. and we are told that no
effort was made by the owner of
this big herd of animals to supply
these defects of the range
The man who thinks he can
succeed in the cattle business on
the bleak plains, with nothing
but a barbed wire fence and the
polar star for shelter from the
cutting blasts of the blizzard. is
forty years behind the times. If
ten per cent of the value of that
vast herd, which was allowed to
freeze to death, had been invested
in food and shelter, it is doubtful
if there would have been any
loss at all-at most, it would
have been inconsiderable.
A man may have the legal right,
but it is doubtful if he has the
moral right, to own animals and
subject them TO such suffering as
we have mentioned, and the day
will come when his legal right to
do so will be restricted.
The coming cattleman is the
man who will prepare food and
shelter for his animals during the
blizzard; and he who fails to
do this will learn II lesson some
day that will not soon be for
gotten.
Then let every man start pillow
and put IN sufficient forage crops
to, at least, feed the weaklings of
his herd and erect shelter, when
there is no natural shelter on his
ranch, for his stock to get into
during such times as we have eX-
perienced lately.
Don't tell me you cant raise
nothing :" that old windy was
all right few years ago to scare
off the squatter, but it won't go
now, for last years cotton stalks
and the feed stacks of the gram
ger would give it the lie, even if
you persisted in such ideas. The
day is here, now, when your cat
tie are better and worth more
than they used to be, and It's up
to you to take care of them or
suffer the consequences.

DIPPING VAT PROPOSITION
Sentiment Among Stockmen Seems
Overwhelmingly in Favor of In
stalling the Vat.

The dipping vat proposition
has not been fully decided on.
There seems to be a hitch with re-
gard to the Oklahoma quarantine
regulations. Permission for the
establishment of a dipping station
has been asked of the L. 5. gov
eminent, the application for the
assistance expected of the Santa
Fee has been made and fair start
had on the stock company which
is to install and operate the vat.
But in this, as i'll all other mat
ters of Importance, one must needs
make haste slowly.
In addition t. this, the Press
is reliably informed that certain
man who owns land near the stock
pens is contemplating the erection
of pens and vat as a private en-
terprise. So it would seem that
the establishment of dipping
vat is a foregone conclusion. The
Press hopes that this is so and
that the much needed enterprise
will be established at an early
date.
There is no reason why San
Angelo should not have a vat
whether it be absolutely necessary
in order to get cattle into Okla
homa or not. Such an enterprise
would be the beginning of making
San Angelo live stock market.
Cattle and sheep could be dipped
here and sold in the pens. 1t
would bring stock here from a
vast territory and would be a
great thing for the town. The
business men should take deep
interest IN the undertaking. The
stock interests will always be the
paramount source of wealth in
this section and it is to the in
terest of the business men to
whoop up the dipping vat propo-
sition.
