West are not raising as many feeding
cattle as they did in years gone by.
They now receive almost as much for
a good six or eight-weeks-old veal as
they can get for a yearling steer.
Veal making is profitable, even at the
present price of butter. Calves drop
ped this month will make good veals.
Calves may be successfully raised
on skim milk if it is uniformly sweet.
Separator milk fed before it has been
allowed to cool will produce the best
results.
Use good sires. 1t does not pay to
breed the mare, cow or SOW to a COM
mon mongrel sire. 1t costs no more
to raise a rood animal than an infe-
rior one, while there is great diff
ference in the prices they will bring.

GROWING MORE FORAGE CROPS.
Huls and
Scarcity of Mixers.

Messrs. Editors A great deal of
good land in this county for two
years has been growing forage crops
from which our farmers have derived
rood returns. Perhaps double the
land heretofore producing forage
will grow such crops this year. Vari-
Gus causes have brought about this
condition-one being that our farm
ers are farming better. The one-crop
system on same land year after year
is giving way to an improved system
of rotation of crops. More livestock
are fed on the farms, requiring more
forage, and of course improving the
farms because of more manure.
Forage crops are produced with less
labor. of which there is an alarming
scarcity
Cotton Seed HuIls Too High.
One other cause for so large in
crease of forage is the high price of
cotton-seed hulls. Some years ago
the oil mills sold hulls at So to So per
ton. The farmers and cattle feeders
depended largely uron the mills for
forage. But the price of hulls began
to go up-up to as much as $12 per
ton-and then the old goose broke the
golden egg. Farmers and feeders be-
gan to think bit and wisely decided
to raise cheaper feed stuff and drop
the cotton-seed hulls-hard for the
oil mills, but salvation to the land.
Cotton-seed hulls at 81 per ton is
extensive feeding, and as an exclu-
II i of
price.
/ am told there is a demand tor
this product in the North and West
at a selling price of $S per ton. Ii
this is so, then let the Cotton States
raise every bit of forage needed tor
their livestock and send the hulls
awav to bring money back to us.
Why Mich Cows Are Low.
Milk COWS are selling at lower
price than / have known them to e,
at for several years, and our Local
market is fully stocked. One cause
for this low price is, nobody to mllf
the COWS on the farms, and it's SC
with the dairymen. Field labor vii
not milk: so if the farmer has moi
mixers in his own family. he mus
sell the COWS. The dairyman canno
buy because he cannot, for any price

PRACTICAL POULTRY TALKS.

MeSSrS. Editors There is an Olu

got lost. When it was discovered that
she was missing a searching party
was organized, and it was not until
the end of the sixth day Of her alb.
sence that she was found. All hope Of
finding the woman alive had been
abandoned, because of her advanced
age and the further fact that much
rain had fallen. Mrs. Hendrickson
says that she suffered much from
mosquitoes. Fortunately she had
matches with her. and with them built
fires evenings to keep her warm and
scare away wild animals.
