BREEDER ALSO GOOD FEEDER
Many Pure Bred Sires Fail to Fulfil
Their Mission Because Given
No Chance.

Breeding and feeding go together.
No man has been a successful breed
er without also being a good feeder,
The greatest drawback to the i'm
provement that is going on through
the use of pure bred sires is the fail
ure of proper feeding to follow the use
of these sires in all instances. It is
safe to say that many pure bred sfres
have failed to fulfill their mission in
life simply because they have not
been given the chance. Neither they
nor their progeny or the dams to
which they were water received the
proper care and feeding to enable
them to show up' to the best advan-
tage. There are even such animals
that have been termed pure bred
scrubs. They have failed to keep I'D
to the average simply because they
were the objects of neglect and fire.

Of the animal. This is also true, but
to a less extent in the local markets
The kind of market, then, to which
the steers are to be sold should be

tional would find slow sale in most of
our local eastern markets. This shows
that the eastern feeder has this ad-
vantage over the western feeder, that
his markets are not so discriminate
ing and poorer class of animals may
be sold and even sold to better ad-
vantage than would be possible in
the large packing centers.
While the type of steer, so far as
carcass is concerned, is less impor-
tant in the east than in the west, it

eed the Colt.

The colt must not be neglected at
this season of the year. It 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 giving less milk, it requires special
feeding, as it cannot any longer get
all that is necessary to make proper
growth from these sources.

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 we'll 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. a crop of rye
sown early in the fall will afford win
ter protection. This rye crop NAV be
tSned 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 if
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 earlv in
the winter as it is possible to do the
work. Ii the stalks are pastured thew
should be dragged down Just as soon
as the stock have cleaned the hest
from them. Corn stalks fat 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, end especially dur
ing the winter and spring seasons.
Keep the banks of the creeks and

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-
tion. 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 high-priced 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.

SELECTING STOCK BEEF
FOR PROFITABLE RETURNS
Points TO Consider Choosing
and Size Are Essential BY Prof.
Thomas I. Mairs

In choosing steers for fattening, one
Oh the most important things is to Sc
lect those that give indications of ma
KING good gains. The steers must
nave a good, large frame, with capac-
lty for consuming a good quantity of
Iced. This capacity must not be such
as to tend too much toward paun2hi-
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 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 I. Mairs of Penn
sylVania, in American Agriculturist.
1t is necessary, however, to strike
mean between the two. That is, avoid
the extreme rangy type and also the

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 feshy
and bulls of a blocky beef type can be
used to advantage:
The more dairy blood there is in a
steer, as a 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 it
on the outside of the body. The first
tat deposited Is probably in the interi-
of the animal, the next is a 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.

Benefits from Alfalfa.

Alfalfa, like corn and cotton, de-
mands certain conditions of the soil
and certain constituents in that soil.
Every crop demands certain foods.
All crops except alfalfa and the other
legumes obtain practically all their
food, including nitrogen, from the
soil. The latter crops use nitrogen,
but get it from the air Alfalfa takes
nitrogen from the soil only during the
first few months of its growth, and
thereafter not only takes its own nee.
essary supply. from the air, but a
large surplus, which it stores in the
soil, available for whatever crop may
follow. Other crops take much nj.
trogen from the soil, but contribute
nothing to its enrichment
