BABY BEEF.
BABY BEEF.
What the stoekman Must Feed TO g..
cure the HIGHEST Quality.

cure the Highest Quality.
To get baby beef of highest quality
1t must of course be fed and reared
In certain way, says Professor Thorn
as Shaw. 1t is more Influenced as to
Its juiciness by the feeding than by
anything else. If baby beef is to pos
sess the highest quality of tenderness
and Juiciness, animals must be given
certain proportion of succulent food.
The succulence may be furnished by
grass In the summer. In the winter
the two more important sources of
succulence are corn silage ard field
roots. But even when the animals are
grazing they must be well supplied
with meal, as making baby beef is a
continual system of pushing forward
from the day OF birth until the animals
are ready for the block.
Corn silage Is the cheaper source of
succulence as compared with roots for
winter feeding, but 1t Is not In any
sense the safer food of the two. Should
the sllage possess much acidity, which
1t sometimes does when put up too i'm
mature, 1t is not nearly so valuable as
when sweet and well matured. AS
much as twenty pounds daily may be
fed to a steer when of the age of
twelve to eighteen months. 1t makes
an excellent medium with which to
mix the meal given to them under feed
Ing, which Is IN sense forced.
But when field roots are fed they
also may be used as the medium in
which the meal may be mixed. They
may be fed either In the sliced or in
the pulped form. When fed freely
they give to the meat juiclness and a
flavor such as can be given from no
other kind of food. There is also an.
element of safety about 1t that comes
with no other kind of food. 1t would
be difficult matter to injure the dI-
gestion OF cattle beast by feeding 1t
too much roots, provided the roots had
become sufficiently matured. When
fed roots freely In the winter and then
carried on with grain and suitable
grass during the summer, the quality
OF the meat from animals so young, IL
well finished. would be simply superb.

Milk For the EoaI.

III the mare Is required for light
work. the foal may get some new milk
from cow, to which one needs add
q little sugar and water. The nearest
approach to mares milk Is brought
about by adding one part Of water to
three parts of cows milk and one or
two teaspoonfuls of white soft sugar
to pint of the mixture. IL the mare
Is separated from the foal for any
length of time, she should always be
MIXED out before again gaining ac-
cess to the foal. Tue long secreted
milk In the udder is considered very
unwholesome food for the newly born
animal. - Farmer and Stockbreeder,

found where cold spring bubbles up

Feeding Sheen For Market

In feeding sheep for market avoid
feeding corn In excess. I think that Is
one of the great faults of our sheep
feeders-they feed too much of the car
bonaceous ration, says New York
breeder. 1t Is perhaps true that one
can put flock of sheep into the barn
and make greater gain per day for a
reasonable time with corn than with
any other kind OF food. but one that is
not making lean meat. simply mutton
tallow. A much better food will be
oats. bran. oil cake. something of that
kind which will produce a better quail
lty of meat. ~

Beans For Poultry.

Il is an accepted fact throughout
many sections of the country that
poultry will not eat beans. Many OF
the New York farmers state that it is
utterly useless to try to teach poultry
to eat beans of any kind unless they
are broken into small pieces or cooked,
as is often done for the hogs. Nothing
could be better for poultry than beans

In speaking of the feeding value OF
skim milk an eastern writer sums up
his remarks thus:
/. The practical feeding value OF
any feed cannot be determined by
chemical analysis.
0. Warm, sweet, hand separator
skim milk has much greater practical
than theoretical feeding value.
8. Animal heat possesses a potent,
vital force that cannot be reproduced
in artificial heat.
a. Skim milk that has lost its ami
NAL heat has lost vital element that
can never be restored.
S. Over half the real substance in
the skim milk consists of milk and
sugar. There is over pound of milk
sugar in an ordinary pailful of skim
milk.
6. When skim milk sours it means
that the milk sugar has undergone a
chemical change whereby it is turned
into Tactic acid.
7. Tactic acid is poison to the
system of the calf.
8. Skim milk possesses all the bone
and muscle forming elements of new
milk, and, hence, if fed to young
stock, will develop great vitality, good
frame, deep muscle and great vigor.
9. Experiments show that young
pigs fed on skim milk will make 10
per cent more gain than if fed on whole
milk.

According to those who are in on the
ground floor. Moreing and the capital
lists behind him figure to make their
fight in Oakland as we'll as in Sacra-
npSnto. Oakland is a good ball town,
and If winning team were put into
the field and the fans given more base
ball than they get at the present time,
there is no question that the game
would pay.
There has been a great deal of dis
satisfaction in Oakland in the last few
years because the ball team that repre-
sents the transbay city has not been
in the running with the others. Oak
land is hopelessly out of the race. yet
the team draws very well Sunday
mornings and Tuesday afternoons, the
only times when. it plays at home.
II this move goes through it will
mean a big war here. Provided that
Moreing gets capital enough to back
him IN his new venture. he has a
chance to give the Coast people a tough
run. Danny Shay has given his word
to Moreing that he will play with the
new outlaw team and turn down the
offer TO captain and manage the Venice
