PEA FED PORK.
eeand to Be Of Delicious Flavor, Ten.
der, Sweet and Firm In Fat.

der, Sweet and Firm In Fat.
In January a Los Angeles (Cal) ship
per, hearing of the choice quality Of
the pork from hogs fattened on peas
In the San Luis valley, went to Monte
Vista, Colo, and bought one carload
OF pea tattened hogs, sending them
alive to Los Angeles, nearly 1900
miles. The pork from this trial ship
ment was found to be superior to
any ever before sold in that market
Later more carloads were sent, and
up to June 1 105 carloads of pea fat
tened hogs-S,4OO head-had been sent
from the San Luis valley to Los An
geles, and the buyers would have tax
en- more if they could have been Sc
cured The buyers report that upon
slaughter not a single diseased hog
was found.
Packers in Portland, Ore, hearing of
the popularity of pea fed pork in Cali
fornia, visited the San Luis valley
and bought eight carloads of fat hogs,
shipping them alive to Portland.
In both Los Angeles and Portland
the pork from the pea fed hogs was
found to have a more delicious flavor,
to be more tender and sweeter, with
the fat firmer, than that made from
any other feeds. Stockmen of Ala
mosa made through the winter ship
ments of pea fattened hogs to Albu-
querque, N NJ, the pork meeting the
same favor there that it did in Los
Angeles and in Portland For the
year ending June 1, 1907, $4,000 pea
fattened hogs were shipped out of
the San Luis valley.
The foregoing items occur in a state
ment credited to H. NJ. Cottrell of the
Colorado experiment station.
Farmers Growing Peas and Hogs.
Professor Cottrell further says: Be
sides these large demands already ex-
listing, it Is the opinion of the best
meat men in Denver that, If regular
supply of pea fattened hogs could be
secured through the year, on account
of its flavor the pork could be sold
at an advanced price to the best
hotels, clubs and private families
throughout the east and south. These
shipments have opened a new era in
meat production in Colorado and have
started farmers all over the state to
raising hogs. The average price paid
the farmers on track in the valley for
200 pound fat hogs has been $13 a
head Good peas sold in the valley
last fall at Sc an acre, the growers
making a profit. An acre Of good peas
will make 400 pounds gain on fatten-
ing hogs.

What Horses Prefer.

Horses prefer timothy cut when the
seed is we'll formed, but not fully ripe.
As this class of stock is unfavorably
affected by laxative feeds, late cut tim
othy is also preferred for them on ac-
count of its favorable effect on the di-
gestive tract In the case of cattle lax
ative feed is rather to be preferred
says writer in Orange Judd Farmer.
Cattle also relish timothy when it is
cut rather green; hence for cattle
timothy should be cut about the time
it is in blossom. Any time from day
or two before the first bloom till a day
or two after the second bloom will an
swer. The yield will be slightly larger
at the later stage.

HE FEE Err.

Standing out conspicuously above all
other trade facts is the growing scar
city of unfinished cattle of the kind the
feeder wants. His Specifications are
that they must show breed type and
carry flesh, and when they possess
these qualification he is willing to
pay a good price.
Evidently the east must go to the
west for material to fill feed lots or
quit beef making. Ultimately the
problem will be solved by breeding.
Cattle trade has gone on permanent
ly higher basis despite skepticism.
Keep your eye on the corn CROP"
was the reply of stocker dealer to
feeder seeking advice "If you don't
have killing frost until October and
the fat cattle market gets no serious
setback, everybody will want a few
cattle, and it will be the hottest fall
feeder market these money years.
Breeders Gazette, Chicago.
High Priced Feed Lot Material.
From all points this year come COM
plants and predictions of a scarcity of
feeding lambs and cattle. While it is
impossible to tell what the outcome Of
any investmentsin feeders may be, it is
evident that lambs at 81 or better in
market are pretty high priced feed lot
material. As for cattle, the ranges are
in excellent shape, and a larger proper
tion than usual of the range output
will go for beef, and a smaller proper
tion will be suitable for feeders unless
taken at high prices for a short feed.
A few years ago we had a shortage of
beef because of short corn crop, says
National Stockman. Next we are like
ly to have a shortage of beef because
of short cattle crop, which is a kind
of scarcity not overcome in year or
two, as was the other one.
Rate of Gain on Corn.
One can count in a general way on a
steer making gain of one pound on
ten pounds Of corn. If he is fed TWEEN
ty pounds of corn daily, he ought to
make gain Of two pounds day, says
corn belt authority.
II Pays to Weigh.
It is now well established that those
feeding beef cattle with success and
economy find it necessary to weigh the
cattle every few weeks and adjust the
feed to their needs. By so doing much
larger gains will be obtained for a
given consumption of food, and there
Is no danger Of the animal getting off
feed. Concentrates are so expensive
on the average farm that economy in
this direction is certainly essential

The lneompaet Horse Goes Down
Easily and Tires Early.

Il
Easily and Tires Early.
In all horses Of general utility the
quality known as compactness Is the
primary requisite. No hunter can pos
sibly be good without it, NO hack rides
well without It, no harness horse can
be properly balanced without compact
ness, and no Shire horse is worthy Of
its stable room and bulky forage with
out full development of this important
symmetrical characteristic. In horses
it is of overwhelming importance. The
word compact means closely and firm
iy united, firm, solid, dense. structure
well connected. Its effect on the work
may be illustrated by a hypothetical
horse whose chief fanlt Is his incom-
pactness.
Imagine two men carrying long
ladder. The stumbling and falling of
the front man cannot be prevented or
Influenced by the hinder man. So
with the incompact horse whose long.
weak back sewers rather than unites
the connection between the two ends.
And with either fore leg in trouble
down he goes with such violence as
ruins him for life. Supposing the long
backed, weak horse escapes actual fall
or serious damage, he is still highly
incompetent, because he always goes
like falling, especially when tired, and
a very little work will induce this
early weariness. 1 suggest that own
ers and breeders should avoid this
most miserable type of animal. His
hind legs are ever behind him in COM
pany with his tail, and his head be-
comes the fifth limb, which too often
props him up. This explains the eff
fects of incompactness.
How a Horse Proves His Quality.
A short, strong back, with long quar-
ters and shoulders, will in well bred
animal produce action in principle not
unlike the kangaroo. Notice the horse
in harness. Driving last week my
good harness horse pulled hard, his
hind legs seeming to be ever forward,
and with a wheeled dogcart he cheer
fully did each measured mile in less
than five minutes. He carried himself
on his hind legs and had a fore foot
tripped the weight Of the frontage OF
the horse temporarily or momentarily
would have been borne by the hind
leg. The hind leg measures one inch
more than the fore, and it is much
more powerful. The muscles which
drive it are the most powerful in the
entire body, and the motor nerves
which convey their energies to these
muscles are the most important forces
in the entire animal. Compactness
would therefore save horse from
falling, the hind leg alone coming te
the rescue.
This applies to all~ types of light
horses, and a cart horse is a bad walk.
er unless the swing of the hind leg
be long and good. In this respect ev-
cry horse proves his quality when
walking by planting his hind foot far
in front of the fore foot print.-W. r.
Gilbert, Canada, in National Stock.

THE SHEPHERD.

For the man who has no sheep an
economical and profitable method of
starting the flock would be to purchase
the so called old ewes which have
been discarded from the focks of
sheep men. Many people consider a
eve old and undesirable when she at
tains the age of five years. Such a
eve if a good breeder will not appear
so nice to the eye of the visitor as
the two or three year old eve. Still,
If her udder is good there is no rea-
son why she would not be profitable
from breeding standpoint until she
is eight or ten years old. She is just
The kind of an animal for the begin
ner in the sheep business to handle.
During the month of September and
the early part of October of each year
there are thousands of just such ewes
sent to our markets, where they are a
drug.-W. J. Kennedy.
A Very Little Corn, Please.
Concentrated and stimulating foods
are unsuited to sheep. A very little
corn will do with other grains, says a
sheep feeder. Corn makes the sheep
feverish, iEflames the udders of the
ewes and makes a big show of milk,
which is actually Inflammation and
swelling. 1t also makes the lambs
| weak. The feverish condition dries
the wool, makes 1t brittle and checks
its growth.
No Need For Tears.
There will be a death loss among
feeding lambs no matter how careful
ly they are fed. Care will greatly re-
duce this loss, however. The writer
has had as low as 2 per cent and as
high as per cent. If no more than
per cent loss Is sustained, no one
need shed tears.-F, E. Wing.
Mutton Chops.
Do not shut the sheep up too closely
on cool nights, as they may suffer from
want of air if at all crowded, advises
Farm Journal.
Sheep need to be kept dry. They
| need very little protection from cold,
but damp feeces are to be guarded
against
Count the sheep every day. You may
save sheep by it. Go among them
| every day with some salt or dainty.
When the wool on the sleeps back is
! not soft and oily, something is wrong
with that sheep. Better look into the
matter and do what you can te, make
her well again.
More Hothouse Lambs Needed.
The conditions afforded by New
Hampshire offer an excellent oopor-
tunity for the production of early
lambs for the Boston market. The de-
| mand for early or ''hothouse'' lam5s
is Increasing every year, and the prices
I paid for them should encourage our
sheep raisers In this phase of the in
dustry, says F. W. Taylor of the state
experiment station in Americ lR Guilt

Agriculturist.
Place one end of chain around the
post close to ground. Incline the plank
against the post so the lower end of
the plank will be about one and half
or two feet from the base of the post.
Place the chain in the notch of the
plank and start the team, and the post
will start upward with surprising
speed and in a few seconds will be
clear of the ground.
In moving fences the chain should
be attached to the rear axle of the
wagon, so the posts may at once be
loaded and hauled to the new location
of the fence.
