TDam of the heifer In the second cut.I
In the percentage of dressed meat they
will yield. Common cattle with bad
treatment dress from 10 to so per cent,
while pure bred and grade cattle with
better treatment dress from So to 65
per cent. Some few dress 67 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
ped. This is a very important matter
in handling herd of beef cattle. If
calf should be had from each COW each
year and every calf could be raised
each calf would only have to stand
comparatively small feed bill for its
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 lessening the profits.
In starting to change a herd from
natives to grades spring is generally
preferred to fall. The common calves
dropped then should be made to pay
expenses until the grade calves are
being dropped. otherwise the first lot
of grade calves will have very high
feed bills for their dams.

 time comes from, the gardeners prop agate the parasite artificially. Mistle- toe. as is well known, is of the para Sitic kind. taking its sustenance not from the ground, but from tree. The apple tree seems to be It's favorite, though the hawthorn. the lime and the poplar frequently carry the parasite.
 The scientific inoculation of trees with the mistletoe growth is practiced with excellent results in the north of England. The gardener takes between his thumb and forefnger one of the little berries of the mistletoe, crushes 1t so that it's sticky juice oozes out and sticks it upon the surface of branch of the tree. Usually he selects a young branch, on which the bark is soft and easily penetrable. If an older branch be chosen, the bark is slightly scraped on the surface. The berry is mashed fiat against the bark. The seed which 1t contains is thus held in place by its own gum.
 Late April or May is the proper sea- son for inoculating. The seed soon sends through the bark little ''feeler" or root, and small twig, bending in toward the branch of the tree. appears.

from those counties. The thrush of this name is exceedingly fond of the mistletoe berry. After eating its fill the bird flies to another tree. Being cleanly, it uses the branch of the tree upon which it alights for a napkin. wiping it's sticky bill thereon. F." quently mistletOe seed is thus de posted and glued to the bark. Then the reproductive process follows nat urally.
 An official Inquiry as to whether mistletoe is still to be found on oak trees, as in Druidical days, resulted in the discovery of several oaks in one county of England bearing the para site. But modern mistletOe has come to be Cupidical rather than Druidical When the mistletoe and the miss, plus the mister. get in the proper positions the result rhymes with kiss.

 When once the mistletoe takes pos session of fruit tree the effect upon the fruit is quite noticeable. The mis- tletoe takes its nourishment from the tree to which it clings. That is the soil in which its roots live and thrive. Naturally this reduces the amount of substance which formerly went into the fruit. If the captive be an apple tree, the apples become small and scraggy. The mistletoe has stolen away their sweetness and plumpness Man grows by what he feeds on. So does mistletoe. And as the pork eating man visits the penalty of death upon the pig so does the penalty of wither- ing and souiing fall upon the apple whose progenitor feeds the spreading parasite. Nature is full of wonders, and the growth of mistletoe is one of the most wonderful when adequately studied.
 Mistletoe grows naturally in parts of England and Scotland, being propa- gated by birds. In some of the north ern counties of Scotland no mistletoe is found. This is believed to be due to the absence of the thistle thrush
