Beef in the East.

ISuuuIIy SCHllCIiAoAlJ
The farmers in many parts or the
East are out Of tho habit Of feeding
beef cattle, but is it not a fact that In
some of these localities 1t would be wise
to resume it? As general proposition,
a farm should carry cattle, and where
the labor cannot be obtained to run a
dairy, beef cattle are the alternative. An
IllinDis farmer gives an experience In
a recent number of the Breeders Ga
zette which might be duplicated In re-
suits, In the Atlantic coast states. This
farmer about Nov. !, picked UP a car
load of Angus and grade Angus steers.
They were then about Is NOR tbs old
and weighed $50 pounds They were
run on grass and IN &c sttetisb ftaids
without other feed until Dec. 90 when
they were given little corn, with
plerty of good hay. They ran in the
fields until JAN 20, when they We're
shut in the feed lot with IL brood sows
and a boar, and fed twice a day on
corn with little oats. After March 81,
the feeding was gradually changed to
once a day, and soaked corn used as
soon as 1t could be fed. These cattle
We're sold July 10, when they weighed
1887 pounds, and brought $5.75. The
purchase price was not given, but prob
ably it was not far from 81, which
would make the steers cost s34. AS
they sold for STA, and so pigs were
raised in the same lot without extra
feed. there was good margin for the
feeder. This is am example of prac-
teal feeding which may be follow
ed even on small farms, If two or more
farmers will join together, sharing the
expense of purchasing and dividing the
cattle to suit their convenience.

Growth of Youna Animals.


There Is no time when weight may
be added to animals so cheaply as when
they are young. Experiments have
shown that a lamb may average a gain
of a pound in weight for each six
pounds of milk which it takes. In this
case, each pound OF solids in the food
would produce more than a pound of
gain In the young animals. With older
animals six or ten pounds Of solids
would be required for each pouad Of
gain The same is true of calves.
Hence the Importance of the farmer
having the benefit of the growth Of the
animal during the earliest period of its
life. Buying feeders at one or two
years of age. one loses the profit OF this
early, rapid and economical growth,
and takes the risk Of their growth hav-
ing been arrested by periods of priva-
ton. However, it is better to buy
feeders than not to feed; and under
the conditions obtaining on many
farms, it will be more profitable TO buy
feeders than to raise them. But there
are many farms in the east where rails
Ing the calves and lambs which are to
be made into beef and mutton would be
to the advantage of the farmer. This
conclusion is emphasized by the high
prices which are now being paid for
feeding lambs. Nearly all such feeders
have been selling in Chicago above So,
and it is noted that a Michigan feeder
paid ais high as $6.75 for one lot OF Mon
tana lambs, while an Ohio feeder paid
$3.50 at Omaha, which is considered
equivalent to 81 in Chicago. II looks
as though the growers of these lambs
would get tho larger share Of the prof

THE SERVANT GIRL.
Hampton Clhronicle.l

The servant girl of today or the
hired girl as she is more Familiarity
known is one of the modern day signs
of class distinction which our earlier
ancestors knew not. In days of old the
foreign countries knew no such thing
as servant girls. The classes were di-,
vided by their royal blood. Those
who were in servitude were supposed
to be base and lowly by birth. They
were cast into their place in life by
their ancestors but with the new coun-
try of America all such distinctions
were abolished. Here all We're equal:
the contrast at first to those foreigners
who had always known class distinc-
lions must have seemed peculiar. One
or two generations obliterated all such
feelings and our early colonists and
forefathers lived a life where the

A RULE OF ACTION.

President Roosevelt laid down
principle of ection for the negroes
when he told them at Tuskeegee that
a crime committed by a colored man
ds a crime against his race. 1t was
not a new idea, but the useful reitera-
ton Of truth that the colored race
seems slow to understand and act
upon. When the race ceases to defend
and conceal criminals because they
are black snc. begins to hunt down the
criminals of it's own kind as enemies,
it's progress will have made long
step toward the respect and consider
alton it so much Graves.
The colored people should recognize
the universal truth that aliens In race
and nationality must bear the burden
! of crimes committed by their members.

must rise and that against difficulty.

is IT A LAND GRADERS scHEME2

One of the questions that is likely to
be brought before congress by the pres
ident relates to public lands in the
Philippines. Under present laws
forty acres of public land Is the most
that may be acquired by an individual
and corporations are limited to 1000
acres. OF this the Philippine commits
sion has complained and will, it is
said, recommend limit Of $4,000
acres, claiming that development of the
islands is being retarded inasmuch as
American capital which stands ready to
establish sugar and tobacco planta-
:. lions will not be satisfied with 1000
acres.
Congress passed the law complained
Of in 1902. 1t was considered wise
provision then. It looks like a defence
against the ubiquitous and iniquitous
land grabber now. A land policy that
offers opportunity for the absorption
of the public domain in chunks of 25,-
900 acres is scarcely protecting the in
terests OF the unborn Filipinos, Of
whom we are to constitute great
state in the Pacific. as these interests
should be protected Twenty five thou
sand acre sugar plantations may de-
velop the Philippines in way. They
will not develop the Filipinos. The
old south is TODAY living down the
memory Of it's vast plantations and its
arrogant aristocracy.
What the Philippines need is a
chance for the Filipino. When we took
over the islands we accepted the bur-
den of a trust. When we took the
,friars land we were scarcely agents for
it's transfer to American land grabbers
President Roosevelt will do we'll to scan
very closely any radical change in the
Filipino land laws.

THE SQUARE DEAL"
TCio,,v C;tv Tribune

= y
Roosevelt's program, as outlined in
his speech, is to give the Interstate
Commerce Commission, or some other
body, the right to exercise a supervis-
ory control over railroads, to the eX-
tent Of substituting fair rates for. I'M
fair; extending it's jurisdiction over
terminal companies and private lines;
and comforting upon it examining pow
err comparable to that of national bank
examiners with reference to national
banks.
The vigor with which he declares
his views upon the need Of railroad
rate legislation can be considered to
forecast the energy he will put UP
against the railroads and the recreant
senate There is not a half way dec
laration in his speech, and it will not
be a half-hearted battle in Washington
this winter.
The "most important thing" in the
mind of the president, is to give to
this administrative body the power
not only to declare the injustice of
rates when injustice exists, but also
to fix maximum rate which it re-
CARDS as just and reasonable.
The third phase of the legislation
the president contemplates consists OF
a provision giving the administrative
body complete authority over the
books of railroads, even to the extent
of STIMULATING what books, and what
only, shall be kept.
Now let the railroad hosts on to
the onslaught. Let them denounce
this man as dangerous to the country,
revolutionary in his beliefs. an usurpec
of constitutional rights, a demagogue
crying out against wealth because it is
wealth.
This is the undertone of the attacks
that have been made upon such men
as Roosevelt and LaFollette and Cum
minis, all of whom are in accord upon
the solution of the railroad problem.

alton of Roosevelt, II mean exactly as
