CHANGES IN STOCK.
Smaller Steers and Quicker Profits Ars
Now Demanded.

Ths law of the survival of the fittest
holds good in every kingdom-mlneral.
vegetable and animal. What was the
fittest a few years ago is unit now,
and, in accordance with this law OF
shifting necessities, we find that with
in our memory the whole gamut of
cattle has been run through in sup
plying the larder with beef.
Not many years ago the ponderous
steer bred on the western prairies was
the best selling beef animal IN the
world. He was wanted by exporters, by
butchers, by cattle rOnnoiSSeurs and
by gourmands. TO he in prime cOndi-
tion it was essential that lie be four
years old and weigh from 1000 to 1000
pounds.
The demand now is for younger
and fatter animal, something through
which the porcelain teeth of the age
can sink without effort. TO be highly
priced and priced this young animal
should be two years old or under,
should weigh 1,OO0 pounds and must
have been fed for the market from the
day he was calved. The more blood
he has In him of these now fashionable
breeds and the sooner after birth he is
in condition TO be put ON the market
the better for the pockets of the breed
erS.
The profits of the growers on such
steers are greater than on the old style
fOur-year-olds. The two-year-old ma
lures sooner, sets fat quicker-the bet
ter his blood the quicker he fattens-
and, while lie weighs about so per cent
less than his predecessor. his cost per
pound Is much less also. The breeder
has the expense of his feed and care
for only half the time he had his pred
eceSsOr's, one item in cost of raising
which more than compensates for his
lesser weight. 1t is the breeders max
i'm that the quicker an animal can be
put in condition for the block the
greater the propOrtionate profits. Good
breeding careful feeding and early ma
turity are very essential to success In
cattle breeding. 1t is we'll for the
breeder to remember that competition Is
sharper and prices lower than in for
mer times and that economy in those
items of greatest cost-fOod and time
should be considered in meeting the
demands of the market. A steer can
be fed to Il weight of 1000 pounds
cheaper than it can be fed to a weight
of 1000 pounds. and, while the immedi-
ate profit is smaller, it will come quick
er. Again. the profit on two we'll bred
twO-year-olds is larger than on one of
the old style four-year-olds.
This argument presupposes that the
breeder has a good animal to start
with. Scrubs pay poorly at best and
often do not pay at all The price of
the coarse grains and feedstuffs Is low,
but to give it to poor animal is al
most like putting salt in sieve, while
to feed it to one of good blood Is to use
your five talents to make five other
talents. Besides these considerations
the farmer will have had the addi-
tonal great advantage of supply of
manure which will bring very tangible
profits in increased crops.-E. Russell

settle the deadlock over certain

be unaware of the fact that this
manner of determining ques-

solution by ordinary processes,
has historic sanction in the laws
of the United States, where pro-

that the most important decis-

Last week the Sixtieth Con-
gress began its work and it will
consider such legislation only as
the Speaker of the House thinks
proper. His sway is absolute,
though this power was not con-
ferred by the Constitution and
there is every reason to believe
it was not contemplated by the
fathers of the republic. Since
the time Of Henry Clay, that
skillful parliamentarian who
made himself rot only the pre-
siding officer but the effective
leader of Congress, almost every
Speaker has assumed some new
prerogative until the position has
attained its present Importance
and dignity, and today is second
only to the presidency in power.
The note of conservatism soun-
ded by Speaker Cannon in refer
ring to financial legislation in his
address to the Republican caucus
will meet with the approval of
thoughtful people throughout the
country in spite of the numerous
demands voiced through the
press that immediate action be
taken in the matter. Any effort
to legislate eXpeditiously on the
currency problem would almost
inevitably result in the passage
of ill-advised or ill-considered

the pressure of an evanescent

~rS Salt # For Hogs.

I have fed salt to hogs for years,
says writer in Breeders Gazette,
Chicago Hogs require salt the same
as any other animals. 1t Is best to
feed it with ashes of coal. 1t keeps
worms out--keeps the stomach from
souring. To hogs that have never had
salt give only a little ut time, for
otherwise they will take too much at
once. 1t will kill them if they get too
much and afterward too much water.
After they become accustomed to 1t
there is no danger. Dirt and salt mix
ed is good in winter when hogs are In
pens and cannot get to the ground A
little bit Of salt for chickens Is bene-
fetal.

In the SiXtieth Congress, now
assembled, there is a strong nu-
cleus of pronounced prohibition
lists, but it is incredible that a
majority in either house will at
tempt to force prohibition upon
the District of Columbia without
first giving the people affected
by such legislation an opportun-
ity to voice their sentiment on
the proposition. That the issue
will ultimately take shape and be
disposed of there can be no doubt,
but the home rule principle should
not be violated to such a fragrant
extent as would be the case if
any precipitate action should be
taken by Congress.

Under the statutes of South
Dakota provision is made that
the selection of members for
Congress shall be decided by lot
in case several candidates re-
ceive an equal number of votes,
while a similar provision is made
with regard to the choice of state
officers in the states of Alabama,
Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky
and Mississippi. Historic prec-
edent for this method is found in
the Journal of the Senate which
describes the determination of
the terms of senators by the
chance drawing of slips of pa
per. AS far back as May A, 1889,
a committee composed of Oliver
Ellsworth of Connecticut, Chas.
Carroll of Maryland, and William
Few of Georgia, reported to the
Senate a recommendation that
the classes of senators be deter
mined by the drawing of num-
bered slips of paper to be pre-
pared by the Secretary, and this
was done. Taking all these his
torical facts into consideration,
the charge against Mr.. Roose-
welt of having introduced gamb-
ling into the White House obvi-
iously cannot be sustained.

and other defects Of plumbing
which made the Emery, Petworth,

board was informed the repairs
would be made when certain adj
ditions were built and so on; how
the board, anotting a month as
abundant time for all such repairs
as were required, voted to withdraw
the children from the buildings If
the repairs were not made in that
time; how the Commissioners then
called the board to a conference and
agreed to make the repairs without
further delay.

forming that official that the re-
pairs are now finished and that the
Health Officer, whose reports as to
the earlier conditions were the basis
for the boards resolute action-cau
now see no reason why the children
should be withdrawn. A feature Of
this letter should not escape atten-
ton. 1t is the statement that some
of these repairs were completed be-
fore the conference was held. In
the light Of that representation, two
things are plain:
First. That there was never the
slightest warrant for the plan to
delay these repairs until certain ad-
ditions could be built.
Second. That the course of the
board has produced valuable and al
most instant results for the good
of the children in all the buildings
