Enormous Marketinu,

High prices draw the cattle. That is
a market axiom. Over a million head
reached western stockyards during
September, a movement that does not
cast credit on the shortage shOuters.
1t would seem that the country is max
ing more beef than ever. This proba-
bly, is the case, and such runs would
demoralize markets but for the fact
that consumption has been running
away ahead of production. Liquida-
ton is, however, to be reckoned with
in the market movement that has as
founded the trade recently.
Until ten days ago everything that
bore the faintest resemblance to
sound mouthed eve sold so readily In
the stockyards that statesmen we're ha-
bitually accusing themselves Of giving
the stuff away despite the fact tha%it
was selling at the highest prices on
record and far higher than killers
could afford to pay.
All markets have enjoyed an unpre-
cedented demand. Breeding ewes have
sold at prices that would have ap-
peared fabulous ten years ago, the
bulk of yearling ewes selling on the
Chicago market as high as 81. All this
stun has been taken into the farming
belt by experienced men and enthusi-
astic amateurs with a common object,
the raising Of lambs and founding Of
focks, says the Breeders Gazette.

Dam Of the heifer In the second cutI
in the percentage of dressed meat they
will weld. Common cattle with bad
treatment dress from 40 to 30 per cent,
while pure bred and grade cattle with
better treatment dress from .55 to 90
ner cent Some few dress 81 to 60 per
cent
The feed and pasturage for the dam
should very properly be charged to
each calf until the next calf is drop
ned. This is a very important matter
in handling a herd Of beef cattle. II a
calf should be had from each COW each
wear and every calf could be raised
each calf would only have to stand a
comparatively small feed bill for It's
dam. Every effort should be made to
secure a calf each year and to raise It,
and any neglect in this line is sure to
be felt in Iessening the profits.
In starting to change a herd from
natives to grades spring is generally
preferred 10 fall. The common calves
droUued then should be made to pay
eruenses until the grade calves are
being dropped otherwise the first LOT

A Good Goose Cross.

II you wish to have what are known
as fancy table geese, a cross mating Of
wild Canada gander with either an
African or a Toulouse or an Embden
goose will produce a fine quality of
roasting geese. These will not do,
however, to use as producers in the
future All produced in this way
should be killed and used the first sea-
son, keeping out the mating of the
Canada gander with any of the other
geese, for when they are once well
mated they should never be separated,
but kept for the special purpose Of
growing what are known as mongrel
geese,

Melting Point Of Butter.

One Of the interesting facts illustrat-
ed by experimental work at the Mon
tana station is that for the first two
weeks after churnlng the melting point
Of butter is higher than it ever is again
and that after the first two weeks the
general tendency Of the melting point
is TO become lower and lower. A de-
duction from this fact would be that
II the dairyman is deslrous Of having
the butter retain its hard, firm body
be should plan to have the butter reach
the consumers table some time before
Y is two weeks old If it is intended
for immediate consumption.
