Feed the Colt,

The colt must not be neglected at
this season of the year. 1t must be
kept growing and developing. Though
it may be sucking the dam and eating
what grass there is in the pasture, it
should now be getting oats besides. A
little bran mixed in the oats will make
the ration all the better. Remember
that the colt is growing-or at least
should be-every day. and therefore
needs increased rations in proportion
to the growth and development it is
capable of making. Now. as the pas
lures are short and dry, and the dam
is siving less milk, 1t requires special
feeding. as it cannot any longer get
all that is necessary to make proper
growth from these sources.

more compact pony type If the great
est gains are to be made and the
steers fitted for market within a rea-
sonable time.
While the brisket is one of the least
valuable parts of the animal, so far
as the carcass is concerned, yet a
wide breast and low. rather promin-
ent brisket are indications of strength
and vigor of constitution. These, to-
gether with a large heart girth. indi-
cate good lung capacity and ability
to assimilate food to advantage.
Steers which are narrow just back of
the shoulders should be avoided as
lacking in lung capacity and constitu-
ton. In fattening for the larger mar
kets particularly the proportion of
higher-priced meats should be taken
into consideration; that is, select
steers which will turn out the largest
percentage of highpriced cuts. When
fattening for local markets, especial
ly for many in the east, with for
eign trade, this is not so important.
as the discrimination between the
high and low-priced cuts is less sharp.

LOSS OF SOIL
BY EROSION
Where Surface Washes Away.
Well to Plant Pasture or
Some Root Crop
Rye is Good.

On many farms where the land Is
hilly or only slightly rolling there is
often great annual loss of good soil
through erosion. There are several
ways of preventing this waste
Where the general surface soil of
land washes away it is well to keep
the land in pasture, meadow or some
crop the roots of which will bind the
surface soil together. If the field is
cultivated in summer. crop OF rye
6own early in the fall will afford win
ter protection. This rye crop may be
turned under in early summer for
green manuring and the formation of
soil humus, which to certain extent
will prevent erosion.
Where crop of corn is grown on
washy land, it is best to cut none of it
for fodder, but to leave all of the
stalks on the ground. If there are no
facilities for pasturing the stalks when
the corn is gathered. then the stalks
should be dragged down as early in
the winter as it is possible to do the
work. If the stalks are pastured, they
should be dragged down just as soon
as the stock have cleaned the best
from them. Corn stalks fiat on the
ground during the winter and spring
months catch and hold the soil from
washing, they catch and hold water
for sinking into the soil where needed,
and in this position they quickly
soften and decay.
Prevent washy land from remaining
bare at any season. and especially dur
ing the winter and spring seasons.
Keep the banks of the creeks and
bitches sloping and in good, tough
sod A steep ditch bank cannot easily
hold grass, hence it remains bare and
is susceptible to washing. Grassy
banks and low grassy places not only
prevent local soil from washing away,
but catch sediment washed down upon
them from higher places. 1t is often a
good plan to keep narrow draws" per-
manently in grass. In this way the
draw gradually becomes filed, the field
becomes more level and the grassy
bottom becomes more fertile each
year. Made soil is always rich soil

SELECTING STOCK BEEF
FOR PROFITABLE RETURNS
Points to Consider Choosing FatteningTyps
Size EssentiaI-By
Thomas l. Mairs

In choosing steers for fattening. one
OF the most important things is to Sc
lect those that give indications of ina
king good gains. The steers must
have a good. large frame. with capac-
ity for consuming a good quantity of
feed. This capacity must not be such
as to tend too much toward paunchi-
ness. The large framework gives a
foundation on which to build. While
the compact pony built animals are
ready for market earlier and look bet
ter with a small amount of flesh on
them. yet the gains made by steers of
this form are usually made less than
those made by more rangy animals,
writes Prof. Thomas l. Mairs of Penn
sylvania. in American Agriculturist.
1t IS necessary, however. TO strike a
mean between the two. That is. avoid

steer is as satisfactory as the beef ami
NAL 1t is true. however. that steers
from good. large cows of the dairy
type which are inclined to be fieshy
and bulls of a blocky beef type can be
used to advantage.
The more dairy blood there is in a
steer, as general thing. the longer it
will take to get him ready for market.
1t Is said that animals of the dairy
breeds lay on their fat internally,
while those of the beef breeds mix it
with the muscular tissues and place 1t
on the outside of the body. The first
fat deposited is probably in the interi-
of the animal, the next is layer be-
meath the skin, which fills out the ami
NAL and gives plumpness to the car
cass. The last fat deposited is prob
ably that between the muscles and
among the muscular fibers them
selves. which give quality Among
dairy breds, these later stages of fat
tening are seldom reached, and al
though the animal may continue to
gain, it does not produce an attrac-
tive carcass.

To believe in Mrs. Dimes, even as Hen
rietta Winstanley did There was that
about her which seemed to denote GER
tain victory.
Poor Miss Winstaniey. however,
looked decidedly uncomfortable. in
spite of the fact that she felt she was
about to witness the elimination of
this engagement which she held to be
so monstrous. She too was gen.
eral, and good one-one whose rec.
ord none could assail-but her mode
of attack differed widely from that
of her friend Mrs. Dimes. She was
stategist, pure and simple. while one
could see with half an eye that Mrs
Dimes had been born to the hammer
and-tongs method. She scorned STRAIT
egy as some illustrious generals scorn
latter-day war tactics.
