The Dairyman Not a Beefmaker.

1t is not the business of the dairy
man to make beef. though some OF
them seem to think that beef is by
product of the dairy. 1t has been
shown by figures again and again that
the man that tries to produce COWS
that will be good dairy cows and at
the same time furnish a good carcass
of beef is sure to make less out OF his
dairy operations than he would II the
opposite course were followed. The
men that talk about having a good
carcass to the COW, so that 1t can be
sold for beef, must remember that the
cow is not likely to be sold for beer
till she has finished her career as a
dairy cow, and perhaps at the end OF
ten or fifteen years, and then her
flesh would be too tough for good beef
no matter what kind of frame she
might have.
Is 1t to be supposed that any buyer
of beef cattle would pay very much
for an old tough COW? Would he pay
much for a steer that was ten years
or more old? The tender beef
is what brings a good price, and
the IeuucT DSSl 10 maui oh a yOuhS
carcass. The time element is an i'm
portant consideration in the making
of beef, and the constant practice OF
beef-makers is to reduce 1t, putting
the beef animal on the market at as
young an age as possible. The high
price of corn makes the fattening of
the old COW too expensive to be much
of an inducement. Corn now can
hardly be bought at any time Of year
for less than so cents per bushel, and
that will only make five pounds OF
beef gain on steer that is bred from
long line of Matchmaking ancestors.
He will make far more gain than will
the old cow. Yet with him every
pound of gain made on corn costs ten
cents and will have to be sold for half
of that. The average old COW would
probably make not more than four
pounds Of gain on bushel of corn.
which would mean a cost of twelve
cents per pound, and she would not
bring more than four cents per pound
in the market, and often not over
three.
The disadvantage of trying to make
beef from a dairy COW is apparent.
and when we consider that a man has.
paid good sum every year to carry
along the extra weight of carcass, we
see that he is sure to lose money in
the attempt.

The impetus given agricultural de-
velopment south Of the Ohio river was
not confined to the last decade. The
expression "the new south" may still
be properly used in considering the de-
velopment of the natural resources
from the Virginias to Texas. The phe-
nomenal advance in cotton prices the
past year, meaning millions of added
wealth to the south, brings promi.
nently to the front this great staple.
Other field crops and the products
of orchards and truck farms are also
given more intelligent attention than
ever before. In progress of this char.
acter, due credit must be given the
various state agricultural colleges and
experiment stations. AS a single ex.
ample North Carolina shows notable
progress in agricultural education the
past twelve months. In a recent letter
to the American Agriculturist, Prof
Burkett writes: I'VE have gotten az.
riculture started in all of our public
schools we have increased the num-
Der of agricultural students in our col.
leges from II to 144 in two years. and
the state has made an appropriation
of $4,000 for an agricultural build.

SCHOOL CONCERT AT SANBORN.

A very interesting program was
given at the opera house in Sanborn
on Thursday evening by the pupils
Of the Lincoln school of that town.
The teachers deserve much credit
for the able manner in which the
program was carried out and the
children showed much talent in the
performances. Even though the
weather was bad the opera house
was packed to the utmost.
From the little address of welcome
by Laurance Posi- to the last number
much interest and appreciation was
shown. Among the most interest
ing numbers of the program were
the star drill by class from Miss

reports say are being built out on

Later in December the snow was

Another remembrance of the

Cross, 100 miles. It was showing

no broken track until we reached
Winona. There were three four
horse coaches, one of which was
loaded with baggage and that sleigh
had a habit of upsetting, when every
man Of the passengers had to turn
out and help right it.
We left St. Paul early Monday
morning and arrived at La Crosse at
10 o'clock Wednesday night, having
travelled all the time except when
changing mail and taking our meals.

Quoted an enterprise which reflects
great credit on that organization.
A sale of fancy articles, together

disposing Of about everything by 10
o'clock.
At $50 in the afternoon a chicken
pie supper was served, and to this
repast nearly three hundred persons
sat down. When the day was over
and the receipts counted it was
found that nearly 5000 had been
cleared, and that great day had
passed into the history of the church
and that the society has resources
of no ordinary kind in carrying out
its enterprises.
