PROFITS ON CATTLE.
Meagre Returns of the "Poor" Farmers
and Beef Men.

The Des Moines Capital figures out
the profits of the packers as IS a ster
and the farmers profit about the same.
That may be about the packers profit,
smaller. These figures are for a s55
steer that dresses upward of ESQ
pounds of meat fit for the block.
There is probably not a packer in the
profit, unless it is in the subsequent
handling of the stuff. II there was a
profit of S. in a steer, hacking houses
would spring up as if by magic.
But why should the busy packer
make. as much in a few days as the
farmer makes in three or four years on
the same steer?
But does the farmer make So on a
$50 steer? We doubt it. A steer of
that kind has to be kept and fed about
three years and a half. The first year
the calf does not eat q great deal of
grass, but say it takes a quarter of an
acre to run him on the next year he
Will eat the grass from about an acre
of land in Iowa and the third year he
will take an acre and a half We have
here the equivalent of about three
his summer feeding. He has to be
provided for during the winter months
and there will be three winters and a
half OF feeding. 1t Will take at least
two acres more to keep him. We have
therefore the produce of five acres to
complete the steer. Those five acres
are worth 800 in Iowa At six per
cent. there ls $50 invested in that steer
for grass and hay. But he needs grain
to fatten him for the market. He
must be fed from three to eight
months; at three months he is just
warmed over from grass. He will re-
quire about 20 pounds of corn a day.
For four months. that will mean 80
bushels of corn at so cents bushel,
or $15 more, making $45 for feed. There
should be added some grain feed for
the first, second and third winters,
which is profitably fed to young stock
to keep them in condition. There is
also the salt, the water and so on. The
steer at three and a half years will
stand the farmer about $50. But there
is also the labor of feeding the steer
looking after him and taking care of
him when he is sick, and there is also
the possibility of him dying-Cedar

Justice Baldwin.

Chief Justice Baldwin has finished
his public service as judicial officer,
much to the regret of the whole state.
He has reached the age when the
constitution of the state says a judge
must retire from the bench. but he has
not reached the age limit of useful
ness. On the contrary, he is in the full
vigor of rare legal knowledge and in
tellectual strength.
This fact, together with his ability
and fairness a judge, and his ex-
perience in handling cases of more
than usual Importance, tend to make
his retirement all the more regretta'ble
and the loss to the state, in the partic-
ular capacity in which he has served,
all the more emphatic and unfortu-
nate.
The constitution OF the United States
imposes no such age-limit restrictions
and it IS unfortunate. in this case at
least. there are such provisions in the
constitution of this state.
Justice Baldwin is a rare man in
character ard ability. He ought to
have been q member of the highest
court in the land-the supreme court
of the United States, and had that
honor been conferred upon him the ma
ton would have honored itself by
honoring him.--New Haven Journal

of the gate receipts, but $1,000 bet is
Long. who is handling Sullivan, wired
filthy on his boys chances, and as
Flynn has all along talked about
side issue, some coin is apt to change
hands.
Long thinks pretty well of Sullivan
and is perfectly satisfied to let his
money express this opinion. AS soon
as Flynn signifies his willingness to
bet, the former Jeffries Athletic club
chief will send down a certified check
The only condition Long imposes is
that the bout be scheduled for at least
twenty rounds, at catch weights.
Flynn is ready to fight at any time
and give the usual good account or
himself. The fireman has been putting
in some strenuous afternoons at Jack
Doyle's gymnasium and with little
more training should be fit to answer
the bell. Sullivan is in San Francisco
and as soon as a date is decided on
will come south with Manager Long
