AND FEEDER

The farmer who breeds or feeds
either cattle or sheep for the block
must not ignore the distinction be-
tween the beefmaking types of cattle
and the dairy type. Economy of pro-
duction must be understood, and the
successful stock owner must breed
with this end in view-of making a
certain amount Of food produce the
largest possible amount Of gain and
such gain be relegated to the parts de-
sired TO be finished according to fine
market requirements The prime beef
type calls for short limbs, but a broad.
straight back, well sprung ribs, broad
chest, ETC., and the broad back and
ribs must be well covered with flesh
and an even distribution of fat. The
heavy. inordinately fat animal has
been driven out of the market by the
demand for one of different type. An
other point in favor of the distinctly
beef producing breeds as bred for the
market is the fact that the beef Of such
animals is always superior to that of
animals of a distinctly dairy type. A
point which also must receive due at
tention is reference TO the age of ami
mails which are to be fed for market
i. e., the block. The young and grow
ing animal fattenS more easily than
when grown or fully matured. AS
animals progress toward maturity the
gain for food consumed is much less
The young animal furnishes the most
profitable carcass, and there is not
superabundance of fat where not
wanted. This should receive attention
The Hereford, or Shorthorn, which
has been bred for generations ito hoard
up every thing she eats and yield it up
only with her life," belongs to the best
type of beef producing animals. A
Hereford COW will give scarcely milk
enough to raise her calf, but puts all
she eats on her back instead Of into
the pail, as a rule, says a writer in
Country Gentleman.
At the English Royal.
Commenting upon the recent English
royal show, a correspondent of the
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, from which
the accompanying cut Is reproduced,
says:
Surprise has been expressed by buy
ers from over the seas at prizes being
awarded to light colored animals or to
those with more than the orthodox
amount of white on their backs or
TANKS, but we know in England what
we are abont, as they say, and long
experience has proved that the lighter
reds or even what used to be called the
yellow reds in the old days are gener-
ally the quickest feeders, are the best
handlers and of the best quality.

what the cow has done as life work
In the same herd is COW called
Queen. This COW has also made a rec
ord of o12 pounds OF butter fat, or
1062 pounds of butter in six years.
Thus while Rose gave an average Of
AS pounds OF butter per year Queen
made only III pounds. IN her best
year Rose made CTS pounds of but

pictures the two COWS seem to be of

1t will be seen that Rose gave an
average yearly income for butter fat

$40, and if this is a fair figure Queen

Fraser is justified in saying that one

New Yorker. Now, the question is,
How many deadbeats like this Queen

INFESTED herd can show them. In

cows, there were found seventyfour,

Nicholas Longworth, the real Nick,
not the old one, was born Nov. 5, 1869.
He was graduated from Harvard in
1891 and was later admitted to the bar,
though he never practiced. He pre-
ferred to devote himself to art, music,
sports. caring for his estates, and final
ly politics His first office was that of
a member of the Cincinnati school
board. He also ran for the legislature,
but was defeated. He tried again, and
this time was successful. Two years
later he went to the state senate, where,
in collaboration with the attorney gen.
eral, he prepared the present municipal
code of Ohio. In 1902 he was elected
TO congress from the First Ohio dis
trict and reelected in 1904.

The Coming of B. A. Fowler.

Advices have been received that MT. B. A. Fowler will return to the city tomorrow morning after an absence of several months in Washington in suc- cessful negotiation for the purchase of the north side canals by the govern ment.
 It would be eminently fitting for the people of Phoenix and the Salt River valley to recognize the great services and achievements of MT. Fowler in their behalf by rendering him a great popular reception. No man certainly has done more for this community. What he has accomplished is more than the most sanguine, as late as five years ago, dared hope might be brought to pass.
 It is hardly necessary to recount to those who have lived in the valley for the last half dozen years the achieve ments of MT. Fowler. But there may be some who do not realize the full extent of his services.
 In local political conventions, we have heard orators, both republican and democratic. ascribe to their re- spective parties all the glory for the operation of the reclamation act-the democrats relying upon the fact that a democratic senator. Mir Newlands. put the growing sentiment in the west in the form of a bill The republicans took credit because a republican pres ident, MT.
