Care Of Beef Cattle.

At one of the Western Institutes
one of the speakers, whose subject
was the care of Beef Cattle" among
other things said: "The farmer
should seek to build up the frame
and muscles of the animal in early
life, by exercise, pure air and plenty
of sunlight, with pure water, proper
shelter, and a ration composed large
ly of protein and minerals. AS they
grow older more carbonaceous foods
may be added, so that at maturity
or when finished off they may be fed
a wide ration, composed largely OF
carbonaceous or fat forming ele-
ments. For best profits in the future
as in the past, the feeder must take
advantage of the early life of the
animal when it is full of vigor and
before the muscles are rigid; this
makes the best beef. Finish them
off rapidly, and when ripe, market.
Profits often come by reason of little
expense in the way of labor, food and
shelter, and in this regard the steer
feeder has an advantage. The grain
fed to steer is sometimes worth as
much as 1t costs to fertilize the farm
Again the groupings should be left
long to insure good fattening grasses.
thus keeping the pastures well
mulched, natures best condition to
maintain fertility. The farmer who
watches both ends of the business
buys well and sells well-has gone a
long way on the highway to success.
With these conditions and considera-
tions future profits may confidently
be expected. Buy, breed, feed, care
for and selr well, and a farmer will
be happy and grow to be broader
man. his purse will be wider as the
years go by, and when he lets go Of
his fragment of time he can leave
with no pangs of conscience because
of giving his brother the dyspepsia"

Missions and Mormons.
Brigham Young and his followers
settled in Utah 60 years ago. in 1917
Up to that time the region was prac
tically unknown.
The hierarchy there set up IS
"highly organized, very active and
successful in winning converts: hos
Tile i'm every fiber to evangelical re
ligion. to constituted government, and
to the highest American ideals"
Naa do fo
God denies the supernatural birth
of Christ, teaches that there are
many gods, holds that God is polyg
amlst and that polygamy is a sacred
duty. and considers disobedience tc
the Mormon priesthood to be dam
nable sin.
Mormonism has no fellowship with
the Christian churches, but regards
every one a hereto that does not
accept the revelations" made to
Joseph Smith.
Mormonism has an absurd set OF
scriptures. which IL places by the
side of Holy Writ as of equal aU-
thority.
The first appeal for Christian mis-.
sions In Utah came from an army
general, who was himself a Roman
Catholic. Missions to the Mormons
began at once, in 1865.
The first mission TO the Mormous
ended in murder, and it was years
before Christian preaching in Utah
was safe.
There are now about 100000 Nor.

The Mormon missionary system is
probably the most effective in the
world, and it should be opposed By
equally earnest efforts of the Christian
church.

Cottonseed Meal and Butter.

Close observation of the quality of
the butter made from feeding cows a
ration consisting of cottonseed meal
and corn silage showed that, contrary
to general belief, the butter possessed
a good grain and body and was in all
respects entirely satisfactory where
the churning conditions were normal,
says a South Carolina experiment sta
tion report. t may be added, says
the NationF' Provisioner, that our
experience during the past two years
convinces us that, during the warm
season butter produced from a ration
containing cottonseed meal is more
satisfactory than that produced from
concentrates that yield a relatively
soft butterfat. The cottonseed meal
butter sets up" better at the table.
Bran butter showed 92.2 degrees as
the melting point; cottonseed meal
butter, 9S.6 degrees; linseed meal,
91.5 degrees.

Why Spring Pigs Die.

The cold rains of early spring Kill
off many growing pigs because of the
lack of shelter and the care and feed
of the SOW. Professor Henry, of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station, In his
Feeds and Feeding" tells the farm
er how to manage the sows and pigs.
and IL his instructions are followed
very little loss will ever occur.
Professor Henry does not agree
with some breeders who hold that no
corn should be fed. He says some
corn may be used, but that meals
rich in protein - oats, peas, mid
dlings, barley-should supply most
of the nourishment.
Feed for the SOW before farrowing
should be nutritious. but not concen-
trated. and roots, chaffed clover or
alfalfa hay, softened with boiling
water, are all highly recommended.
Good flesh is not to be denied un-
der proper conditions aud regulations
as to character of feed and amount
of exercise. The question of exer-
else is an important one. In summer
sows as rule will get all the exer-
else needed by the use Of pasture, but
in winter 1t is often necessary to
drive them about a large lot or up
and down lane for time every
day.
Litter or straw thrown in the yard
through which is scattered waste
grain will stimulate the SOW to exer-
else in searching for feed. but some
means should be used,to prevent the
SOW from lying idle and taking on
too much soft flesh.
The feed Just before narrowing
time should be sloppy and limited In
quantity, and most breeders agree
that the SOW should be fed nothing
for twenty-four hours after farrow-
ing. For two or three days only a
limited quantity OF feed should BE-
given.

Demand For Firms.

The increasing tendency of city
dwellers to buy homes in the country
is not confined, as is generally be-
lieved, to the very rich. Those of
moderate means means are also
gravitating toward the green fields.
For number of years it has been
the fashion of the rich to spend the
greater part of the year in the coun-
try, and to occupy the town house
but a few weeks at most. Now there
Is a disposition to make permanent
homes in the country, and this desire
is not confined wholly to the million
aires. Men with modest incomes are
buying homes as far removed from
the dust, noise and smoke of the cit
les as their business will allow. While
this exodus to the country benefits
directly only farm properties contig-
uous to the cities, the final effect is
to raise the value of such property
over a wide extent OF territory. II
what President Hill, the great rail-
way magnate, says is true, namely
that within the next fifty years most
of the now fiourishing industries will
have become silent because of the
exhaustion of the mines and forests
and wells upon which they depend
and that the population will then DE
compelled to the tillage of the soil
the appreciation in the value of farm
lands will be enormous. In any
event 1t is the part of wisdom to
stick to the farm. 1t will feed and
clothe one and keep a roof over his
head whatever happens. Jour,

The Cheerful Man.

What a boon he is In everybody's
llfel Like bright sunrise and a
gentle wind coming together on a
winter morning, he is to all who cross
his path. He brushes cheerily along.
knocking grief and disappointment
out of his path. and leaving 1t

is worth a great deal to the world;
more than all his money, his wisdom
or his ambitious schemes. People
feel a sort of pleasure just seeing
him coming down the street, and
when they meet him, there Is not a
cloud In sight.
Such men are a blessing to town.
They make one feel that the town
is growing, Is getting more beauti-
full. more than a place just to eat
and sleep and make a living In.
Sometimes one doesn't meet such
men, and then he feels that the
town is degenerating, that things are
going wrong, and that the evil spirit
is trying to put a little malice in
his heart, and he goes home and
meets his wife's smile with feeling
OF suspicion.
A cheerful man doesn't realize the

Good Horses in Demand.

The increasing demand for good
horses has awakened fresh interest
among breeders who have good dams.
The Drovers' Journal, in referring to
the increasing demands in the Chi
cago markets, says a survey of the
horse conditions presents an inviting
field for intelligent breeders. De-
mand for all classes of horses for in
dustrial and commercial use was
never so broad or prices so remuner-
ative. The fact that farmers have
been slow to grasp the situation finds
the supply hardly adequate to meet
the increasing demand. The outlook
justifies continued high prices until
the surplus assumes proportions to
resume expectation of horses in large
volume again. The supply can only
| be increased by enlarging breeding
operations, which under the most
favorable regime, will require half q
decade to produce a reasonably large
surplus. The fact that the supply of
I horses is short should not lead to
haphazard breeding Profits in the
horse industry will depend on the
quality of the horses produced. The
best mares should be selected for the
harem and the choicest stations of
all breeds of horses patronized. The
stream cannot rise above the foun-
tain, and the progeny of sire and
dam will inherit the characteristics
of their ancestors. The opportunity
for large profits in the horse indus
try was never more promising to the
careful breeder that will produce
good commercial offerings of all
classes.

Grinding Corn For Hogs.

Among recent reports received by
the Department of Agriculture from
the experiment stations is one from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
For the past nine years the station
has been conducting tests to deter
mine whether grinding corn for hogs
is desirable.
The results have varied a little
from year to year, but considering
the average of all the tests III hogs
fed dry shelled corn and wheat mid
dlings make an average gain of So
pounds each, while an equal number
fed cornmeal and wheat middlings
gained 11.09 pounds each, the feed
required per pound of gain In the
two cases being 5.19 pounds and ASS
pounds. In other words, for each
ponnd or gain the hogs fed shelled
corn required 0.S pound more gair
than those fed the cornmeal. The
saving from grinding, therefore, has
amounted TO 81 per cent. For In
stance: When corn is worth only
twenty-five cents per bushel the saw
ing from grinding amounts to only
IA cents, not enough to pay for the
grinding, unless cheap power IL
available. AS corn advances in price
1t will be noticed that the saving pei
bushel increases practically three
tenths OF cent with each Ave cents
advance in the price OF corn. Should
the price Of corn be as high as sew
enty-hve cents per bushel the saving
by grinding would amount to littl,
over four cents per bushel.

Value of Good Roads.

Few people take a correct view of
the actual profit to farmers and busi-
ness men in general of good roads,
or how much they could afford to
pay for them. Is it not fact that in
some seasons for weeks together all
business in some rural communities
is at complete standstlll caused by
the impossible condition of the roads,
and the loss incurred amounts to
millions of dollars annually, caused
by not marketing grain or other crops
in proper season, and to the mers
