Dairy Steers UnprofitabIe,

There never will come time when
steers of the dairy breeds will be prof.
liable for the making of beef. It has
been a third of century since condi.
lions as to prices for feed and prices
for beef were such that the dairy COW
and the dairy steer could be fattened
and sold at a profit. The continual
rise in the price of land and also in
the price of feed that is to be made
into beef has made it necessary to
discard the steer of dairy conforma.

male calf that he is thinking about

into a beef will much better dispose
of the young animal while calf. II

him in good time and thus make
some money out of him as beef ami.

time in the past when corn was so
low that money could be made feeding
1t to any kind Of stock, but that time
mas certainly not existed for a mum.
Der of years. The animals that are
known as feeders" vary enormously
IN their ability to put their food to
the best Of uses. The cheap animals
are the low grade ones; that is, they
snow but very small amount of pure
pred blood in them. Their sires may
nave been grade bull having quar-
ter OF improved blood and three-quar-
tiers of unimproved blood, and dams
COWS having no blood of the beef
breeds in their veins.
Such animals are low grades and
generally put a large part of their
1000 onto their intestines. On the
other hand some of the feeders on the
Chicago market have pure-bred sires
and dams that are three-quarters pure.
This gives a very high grade and one
that will place all the fat made in
\ places where it will do the most good
and sell for the highest price. Then
there are all kinds Of makeups be.
tween the two grades we have indi.
Gated, with some above and below
them.
But the facts in the case are being
recognized among farmers and they
are coming more and more to select
the kind of steers that will make the
most money out of the feed given
them. So now it happens that there
is a much greater demand for the
high grades than for the more com.
mon kinds, and that is why the price
of high-grade feeders has gone up SO
far that the amount of profit that can
be made out of feeding them has been
greatly reduced. Since this class is
so much in demand the men that pro
duce feeders for themselves should en-
deavor to- produce only this class
which is always salable at a good
price either as feeders or as finished
steers.

La Grippe is Epidemic Caiarrh.

Balanced Rations.

So far as possible, the fowls should
have balanced rations, and it is prob.
ably best to balance the rations at
each meal. Man has come instinc.
lively to prefer balanced rations
Long before he understood the rea
son for it, man made up each meal OF
different kinds of food. He always
wants the carbohydrate potato with
his protein lean meat. If he eats a
meal of potatoes alone he feels dis.
satisfied, and if he is compelled to
put up with meat alone he feels that
he has not had the kind of food
needed. He does not eat his potatoes
at one meal. and his meat at another.
Nature seems to point to the neces.
sity for giving the different compon'
ents of a balanced ration at one neal

Warm Drinking Water in Winter.

In much Of the weather we have
in winter the water freezes very
quickly if set out at the temperature
at which it is drawn from the we'll.
To permit the fowls to have all the
water they desire, it will be necessary
to warm the water to about 100 de-
grees. 1t will take some time for the
temperature of this. to fall to 90 de.
grees. This given twice day will
keep them supplied with the LIQUID
with which to make eggs and flesh.
1t must be remembered that much of
the eggs, as much of the flesh of
fowls, is water and that all food must
be greatly diluted before it can be
used by the system of the fowl. The
lack of sufficient water always results
in a check to the digestive opera
tions. The GOODNESS of the water also
acts as temporary check. The more
water the fowls drink the better it is
for them, and the more pounds of
flesh and more dozens of eggs thew
are likely to produce.

Some Requisites in Sheep BREEDING,

SO''~ 'N~<tA'SseSS III oTCSUin0,
To make success of the breeding
Of sheep it is necessary to have ami
mails of good: quality and keep them
always in good condition. No matter
how highly bred the sheep may be il
will not be- profitable if it be allowed
to get out of condition even for a
short time. On the other hand. a
sheep of poor quality never seems tc
be in very good condition. It's quality
is against it. The high quality may be
obtained only by breeding to prepo.
tent animals of good quality. The
condition depends on the feed and
general care sheep get. Some men
buy sheep of high quality and fail tc
give them good care. They score a
failure. Other men buy sheep of poor
quality and give them good care; but
they also complain that there is nc
profit in it. 1t takes a balanced
man to buy sheep of first quality and
then give them first-class care. There
is money in this combination.

Topeka journal Gives a Sketch of
c. M. Beeson.
The State journal has the following to
say of G., NJ. Beeson, representative from
Ford county:
"The prairie dog district of the state is
cutting considerable ice in the present
legislature, and the short grass statesmen
seem to be holding equally with the
highly civilized eastern counties. The
western counties are all represented in
the important committees of the house,
and the words Of wisdom from the bOrd-
erhnd have much to do with the police
of said committees
"Among those who come up out Of the
west to legislate is one Chalkley M. Bee
son, of Ford county. He is a quiet, al
most nOiseless man of medium size, and
is known to everyone as "Chalk" Bee
son of Dodge. Mr., Beeson is a second
timer, and he seems to be the leader of
the west end. He cuts svath enough SO
that he is chairman of one important
committee, and member ofanother, and
Stubbs has threatened to put him on the
railroad committee, Beeson believes
in doing things without having
any row. He had the same ideas
concerning peace and quiet many
years ago, when he was the boy sheriff
Of Ford county, At that time he pre-
ferred to take trouble by the tail and
throw ii over the fence instead Of walt.

Soon after his parents moved to Beaver

sided until 1878, when they moved to

resided at 0ttere and also at Kinsley,
and from thence moved to Larned. Kan
