Kansas City, Mo.-The famous Noche Triste tree at Popotla, Old Mexico, has been given new lease of life and it may survive for a few more centuries.

THE DEMAND
FOR SHORTHORNS

Writing of the demand for Short
horns at the Chicago stockyards, a
representative of the Breeders Ga
zette says: Proverbially industrious,
the COW jobber is probably the busiest
trader that frequents cattle market
alleys. He is ubiquitous, and wherever
a desirable milker is found there the
jobber may be detected getting down
his bid with avidity. OF mean scrub
cows there is always a superabun-
dance. Medium mixers are never
scarce, but what the trade knows as
good to choice" mixers and springers
are never found in supply equal to de-
mand. With the steady congestion of
population in the great Industrial and
commercial centers located in the
northeast corner Of the United States,
the call for good mixers grows more
urgent
There was q time not many years
ago when milker and springer trade
was fall and spring affair. Now 1t

RAISING THE CALF.
One Dairyman's Method of Keeping
the Youngsters Thrifty.

! One Dairymans Method OF Keeping
the Youngsters Thrifty.
In feeding calves, as in feeding all
OtlIor animals, no hard and fast rules
can fe made to govern the quantity
/ to be fed. Calves, like children, are Of
! ten of delicate appetite and not good
! feeders. Here is an Ohio dairyman's
method of feeding them, and that it is
a good one is shown by the fine stock
he has raised.
If strong and healthy the calf should
be taken away from the dam when
two or three days old, he says. Some
times we only allow it to suck once.
The calf is fed whole milk for about
two weeks, sometimes less. We then
add about one-fourth Skimmilk and
keep increasing it for week or ten
days, when the calf is placed on skim
milk altogether. Frequently, with ex-
celIent results, | use little fiaXseed
jelly III the skimmilk. | add this when |
begin feeding skimmilk and have |
used it even when the calf was week |
old, with no bad results.
TO make this jelly soak whole fax
seed in hot water | think this far
superior for young calves to any calf
meals used as a substitute for milk.
If you cannot get the whole fiaxseed,
ground oil cake meal as found on the
market is Il very good substitute.
At two weeks Old place little whole
,orn and oats in box 50 the calves

to the popularity of the Shorthorn
COW Of milking propensity. Always
in demand at $50 or higher, she costs
actually no more to produce than the
thirty dollar scrub, and the latter is
always conspicuous In the market,
while the sixty dollar COW Is denied
the representation it merits There
comes marketward never ending
procession Of wretched bovine speci-
mems, poor performers at the pail and
worthless when beefsd. They had a
legitimate value at only one stage of
their career. aud that was when they
could have been probably vealed. By
Intelligent breeding methods a good
COW could have been produced instead
and the breeder profited in the aggre-
gate 70 an incredible amount.
Nothing herein contained is to be
construed as dlsparaging the special
dairy cattle, The Holstein, the Jersey
and the other dairy breeds all have
their spheres of usefulness, but the
milking Shorthorn is distlnctiyely the
COW for the farmer and especially for
the small dairyman. The cheesemaker
and the butter manufactures find the
special dairy COW best suited to their
purpose, but there is little market de-
mand for such cattle, especially when
they are merely grades. On the other
hand, present and prospective demand
for the healthy, dOclle, milk producing
Shortnorn that is worth as much for
beef as n steer when her days Of use
fulness as milk producer are over
warrants the assertion that the supply
will always lag behind The west by
eliminating the scrub COW and breed
ing Shorthorns will adopt a policy SO
profitable that abandonment would
never be considered.

ed. | have learned, however, thai
stock is not the only thing to be con

grees. Better get less pedigree and
more individuality or, still better, get
both If possible Many of the fine
| points Of the fancy breeder are not

| sheep raiser, who is interested alone
in producing the greatest number of

least expense possible.
TO the ordinary sheep raiser it does
not matter whether the fore wool of
the Shropshire extends entirely down
TO the muZZle or in the SOuthdOwn that
the wool extends to the knee, etc. In

to see, no matter what the breed, that
the individual is growthy, compact and
