Keep the Calves Growing.

The consensus of opinion among
breeders and feeders of cattle at a
large number of Institutes that we
have attended, in the central west, is
that the profit to be made on raising
cattle is in early maturity of the steer,
especially is this true where the farm
er not only breeds his stock but grows
them for market. L. H. Kerrick, a
we'll known feeder and breeder, in dis
cussing this question says: "By feed
ing from childhood the breeder is able
to make steer that is ready to go to
market at short notice, or that can
be held and still keep on gaining,
which enables him to dodge the soft
spots in the market. I have investi-
gated the matter thoroughly and find
that the beef that is best on the block
is made during the period of most
rapid growth. I believe in making
beef on farm from recorded animals
not necessarily recorded in herd
book-but I believe that every man
who produces animals should keep a
record of the breeding in each one.
"'The best steer in my carload, which
won the prize at Chicago, was a grade.
but having no record of his breeding l
do not know from what bull this steer
was bred, and therefore can not pro-
coed intelligently to breed another like
him. I start calves off with slight
ration of ground corn and oats and
bran, about 60 per cent corn, later
adding a little oil meal. In the sum-
mer, feed soaked corn on pasture. l

may be taken as a compliment to
climate rather than to breeding skill.

condition and quality Of the article
placed upon the market, the same as
is the case with other kinds of meat.
1t need not be expected that a very
old half fat wether will make as choice
piece of meat as we'll conditioned
yearling or 2-year-old. The goat Is
good feeder. fattening very rapidly,
and it is not so easily overdone as a
sheep. If those of our goat breeders
who have a surplus and seek to build
up a market for goat mutton will be
careful to put only nice, we'll fatted
stuff, not too old. upon the market they
will soon be rewarded with a good de-
mand for this surplus stock. for there
is no more wholesome delicious meat
grown than goat mutton, and every
BODY who gets acquainted with its
nualitv will continue to be a customer.
The meat is better marbled, the fat
more evenly distributed through the
lean meat than mutton and it is free
from that "wooly" taste so often COM
planned of in mutton. 1t is more like
the meat of the deer. yet sweeter and
more iuicv than most Of the venisop
that finds its way to market.
It Is a 1amentable fact that many
goat raisers take such poor care of
their f1ocks that the annual increase
is only equal to the annual mortality
and instead Of increasing as they
should. the size of their f1ocks remains
about the same year after year. This is
not only s1ovenly and wasteful, but is
almost criminal neglect. What other
kind of business could exist. let alone
thrive, under such wasteful, careless
methods as are often practiced by
some farmers and stockmen. Allow
ing the kids to die for the want of
little care is just like planting a crop
and then neither cu1tivating nor harry
esting it. 1t would be just as reason
able for the merchant to buy carload
of melons and instead Of placing them
on the market promptly. let them lie
in the cellar and rot. His competitors
would call him fool and give him a
short time in which to be closed out
by the sheriff The kid is quite ten
der animal when first dropped, but
once he is well started few days
along the path of life he is amply able
to care for himself with the little care
and attention any domestic animal re-
quires. You had just as we'll have
holes in your pocket through which
the dimes can drop. or neglect to hus-
band your bank account as to fail to
provide the cheap shelter and little
care to save the kids.

Lawful Barbed Wire Fence.

writes The Ranch as follows: Twill
you please inform me what constitutes
a lawful barbed wire fence? Would a
fence with posts rod apart and with
two stays between posts and four
wires be lawful? I have a neighbor
who refuses to build his share of line
fence. What can do about it?"
Those two questions are fully COW
cred by laws of the state as follows:
Lawful Barbed Wire Fence.-The
posts must be set not more than 30
feet apart. the first wire must not be
more than 90 inches from the ground
the second wire 81 inches, and the
third wire 48 inches; each and every
one of the wires must be tightly
stretched and securely fastened to
said posts and four light poles or
strips shall be fastened between each
two posts to said wires vertically.
leaving no greater space than about
six feet between said posts and poles
or strips, or the posts may be set not
more than twelve feet apart, and two
barbed wires and one pole, rail or
plank securely fastened to said posts,
or one barbed wire and two rails,
poles or planks securely fastened to
said posts.
Partition Fence.-When any fence
has been or shall hereafter be erected
by any person on the boundary line of
his land. and the person owning the
land adjoining thereto shall make or
cause to be made an enclosure. so that
such fence may also answer the pur-
pose of inclosing his ground. he shall
pay to the owner of such fence already
erected one-half the value of so much
thereof as serves for a partition fence
between them.
When two or more persons own land
adjoining which is enclosed by one
fence, and it becomes necessary for
the protection of the interests of one
party said partition fence should be
made between them. the other or
others when notified thereof, shall
erect or cause to be erected One-half
of such partition fence, said fence to
be erected on or as near as practicable
the line of said land. If, after notice
has been given by either party and a
reasonable length of time has elapsed,
the other party neglect or refuse to
erect or cause to be erected the one
half of such fence. the party giving
notice may proceed to erect or cause
10 De erected un6 0nC1re pdrC1I1On
fence, and collect by law one half of
the cost thereof from the other party
Goat Mutton and Care of Goats.
The use of goat meat has not be-
come general and will not for several
years, says the North Pacific Rural
Spirit. There are two good reasons
for this. One is the comparative
scarcity of the animal, and the other
is the strong prejudice against it's use
as an article of diet. Both these bar
riers will be removed in few years
and the market will quote prices on
goats just as they now do on sheep,
cattle and hogs. and it's meat will be-
come one of the most popular that
graces the table of the rich as well
as the poor. Up to the present time
the goat has not been produced in any
great numbers and it has been SO pro.
fitble and in so much demand for clear
ing land and for breeding purposes and
for the production of mohair that little
thought or attention has been given to
finding a market for the carcas. AS
our f1ocks continue to increase many

A rather busy social week closed yes
terday afternoon with the pretty iuau
in the ground Of Kaahumanu school,
on Beretania street, given by the Aha
hui Iolani ma Wahine Hawaii, which
may be something freely translated as
the Hawaiian Women's Guild Of st.
Andrews cathedral, for the benefit Of
the entire congregation. It was sue
cess in every way, and the realization
will foot up handsomely, although the
exact sum cannot be given until all the
returns are in and all the expenses de-
Quoted. But the luau ran through a
long afternoon, and hundreds of peo-
pie were fed at the long tables. which
were constantly filled as fast rs the
diners arose from them.
The tables were spread on the lawn
in front of the school building, under
sheltering canopies made of fl ags-
American, Hawaiian, and other-and
the whole effect was bright and pretty
and not the less pretty for the
bright dresses of the young ladies who
waited on the tables. Mrs. Tenney had
charge of the decorations, by the way.
and did her work in most attractive
way. AT the left, on entering the
grounds, was a lemonade booth under
