occasion for complaint so far aS the
quality OF the grain Is concerned. Ono
load of about forty five inches that
was brought to an elevator here last
week weighed out little more than
los bushels. At Greene the manager Of
an elevator has on his books records
OF several thirty-slx inch loads that
weighed out between ninety-fi FIVE and
100 bushels. One man brought In oats
that tested forty pounds. Last year
the early varieties were much better
yielders than the late kinds but this
year the latter are superior in every
instance Farmers say that harvest
time this year was as 1t used to be
when the grain rpened gradually In
stead of finishing the entire process In
about forty eight hours as has hap
pened several times in recent years.
A few days ago a farmer living near
Greene contributed a couple of calves
10 Il consignment shipped to Chicago.
They We're about six weeks old and
netted him some $12 a piece. This man
disputes the assertion that COW can
not be kept on hundred dollar land for
the calf alone. Here Is his method Of
securing a good profit without much
work, from the COW not used for dairy
purposes. Take good individuals Of
any of the beef breeds, have the calves
come early. keep them separated from
the cows except at milking time. teach
them to eat oats as soon as possible.
let them have n good pasture to them :
selves, wean when four or five months
old, keep them until they have attained
the age of twelve months and SELL If
properly handled they should weigh
between 500 and 900 pounds and at
present prices would be worth from SIS
to $50 each. BY this method the COW
may be wintered at slight cost and
the summer chores so far as the CATTLE
are concerned can be done by a poy
and without interfering with his at
tendance at school.
