Irrigation and Land Values.


Irrigated land can not be had any
where in the west at small price.
In the Sunnyside and Yakima sections
a hundred dollars per acre would be a
very low price, if located within easy
reach of railroad conveniences. The
water right is thirty dollars per acre;
clearing away the sage brush and grad
ing it so the water will evenly flow
over it, cost about the same amount.
The cost of the land itself varies in
different parts, but with any kind of
good buildings farm will soon foot
UP to several hundred dollars per acre,
as any one can readily see. Some
small tracts of fruit lands up the Yak
ina valley are worth thousand dol
lars per acre and more. These are the
values placed on lands in those sections
today, but when the government gets
to work and furnishes water to much
larger acreage prices cannot help but
climb up a few nOtches.

ces: "Will you please tell me through

the same, not for any damage done on

Beef or Dairy Type-Which?

The Iowa station recently reported
the results of a years feeding test to
determine the relative economy for
beef production of the beef and dairy
types of cattle, a question which is
receiving much attention at the pres
ent time. Dairy type steers show
considerably higher percentage OF Of
fal and a lower dressing percentage.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-01-15

Any advertiser in these columns
who is found unreliable or dishonest
should be reported to the publisher of
The Ranch at once.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-01-15

The steers carry higher percentage
of fat on the internal organs, thereby
increasing the total weight OF cheap
parts. The beef type steers carry
higher percentage of valuable cuts and
furnish heavier thicker cuts. They
are more evenly and neatly covered
with outside fat, show superior mar
bling in flesh, are of clearer white
color fat and a brighter red in the
lean meat, but there is little difference
in fineness of grain. The low price
paid for dairy steers may be due par
TALLY to prejudice and to the greater
expense of carrying and selling the
lOwer-grade carcassses, but it is
chiefly due to an actual inferiOrity in
the carcasses. 1t is neither profitable
nor desirable to feed steers of dairy
type for beef purposes. They are I'M
satisfactory to the consumer because
they do not furnish thick and well
marbled cuts; they are unsatisfactory
to the butcher because they furnish
low-grade carcasses which are diff
cult to dispose of and they are decid
eddy unsatisfactory to the feeder, be-
cause they yield little or no profit.
w. M. Kenady, who has big ranch
near Cooperton, Oklahoma, has origi-
mated a new breed of cattle which he
considers the best he has ever han
died. He crosses the Red Galloways
with Shorthorns, obtaining animals
which have large frames and plenty
of meat. He says they are the best
feeders he has ever seen, as they
bring on flesh easily and being so
large they bring big money on the
market.
