GOOD BEEF.
II Is Possible for the Small Farm to
Produce Il.

1t Is possible to produce good beef
on small farm, and much of the beef
Of the future will be thus produced.
The demand for beef will never be
less than it is at the present time, but
the great ranges or which the beef of
the past has been produced must grow
smaller as the land is brought under
Irrigation. Great projects are under
way for iddigating vast stretches Of
land that before now have been the
feeding ground of cattle. How much
of the ranges are to be eaten up in
this way we do not know at this time.
1t mean that the price of the best
beeves must advance and that these
will largely be raised on small farms
and be almost a by-product. To pro,
duce this good beef, says Farmers
Review, the farmer will need but make
sure hat the animal he is raising for
beef is a high grade of some one of
the beef breeds. Some of the really
good beef made now is being produced
on the farms in the middle West,
where only a few beef animals are
kept per farm. The beef steer Is prov.
ing to be a side issue with many of
our farmers. but a side issue that
yields annually a good profit.

Don't let the shoes stay too long on

we would advise having lem reset at
