Cattle Raising.

In modern times it is an ac-
cepted tenet of live stock hus-
bandry that the mostsmoney is
made IN the young and growing
animal. The farmer that has a
good pasture and some calves of
good conformation to put upon it
is the one that Is the most likely
to make money out of his live
stock feeding operations. The
old steer turns grass. hay and
grain into manure but beyond a
certain stage of growth he turns
very little of it into flesh, says an
exchange. The growing animal
is the one that turns his feed
most readily into flesh. The
writer has known men that went
into the feeding of live stock with
sort of hazy idea that it was
very easy to get rich in this bus
mess, irrespective Of the kind of
stock involved in the feeding.
The result was bankruptcy. This
will be tho result every time.
More and more it is becoming to
be felt that the general farmer is
to be the one that is to do most
of the raising of beeves.
The day is apparently passing
when great quantities of beef can
be made from free range. The
day is just as certain to pass when
animals can be bred in one part
of the country and fed to ma
turity in another part. We are
likely to tread in the footprints
of the older countries of the
world, where this work has sim
mered down to the farmer that
follows mixed farming. This is
largely because he can get the
benefit of the growth of the
young steer. The quick growing
steer is the one that we must
work to obtain. With the great
-
ranges the scrub must go. With
every curtailment of the size of
the ranges there has come a
widely felt necessity to improve
the stock on the ranges.
When ranges occupied nearly
all Of the land west of the Mis-
sissippi river it did not make
much difference how long q steer
took to attain his growth and
maturity. His feed and care cost
almost nothing anyway. But with
the curtaiIment of the ranging
privilege more work had to be
done in q shorter time and on
less area. This led to the rangers
bringing In improved animals to
sire their herds, with the single
aim of getting an animal that
would mature in the least time
possible and make the most out

call extensive farming Is favor
able to the nondescript, but in
tentive farming, which is always
on the gain, demands animals
of the incentive character. The
quick growing steer is therefore
the chief factor in the problem of
cheap meat.
The common farmer should
have nothing to do with any other
kind of an animal. He can not
afford to breed his cows to scrub
bulls when he intends to put
calves on pasturage and later
finish them for the beef market.
The quick growing steer Is the
steer of improved breed, as has
