let his calves lose what Is known as calf fat" It is we'll known that young animals gain more rapidly in propor tion to their live weight and to 100 pounds of food than do older animals. That is, they not only made more economical use of their feed than the older animals, but they take a shorter time to make a certain total gain. The man who turns off a steer that weighs 100 pounds at birth. been given 10 per cent. of the total weight by the dam, while the man Tho keeps the animal till it weighs 1,250 pounds has been given only s per cent. The man who can make steer weigh 1000 at 12 months has ore return for his trouble than tlsa man who keeps 1t 24 months. with an additional weight of only 250 pounds.
 Butchers, too, have changed to suit the demand of the consumer. AL though meat Is generally considered a luxury in the diet of the poor mans family, 1t still remains an absolute ittCSoIly III lut LII Luc DCtlCi classes But, where people formerly ordered large roasts and steaks, they are ordering steaks and roasts now that are from 50 to 75 per cent small CT on account of the advanced prices They find that if they get small roast from a large animal that it is long" on bone. The butcher then to suit the demands for smaller bone de- mands smaller animals, and during the last few months they have been willing to offer not a premium on smaller steers so far as dollars per 100 is concerned. but they have brought the price of small steers up so close to that of the large ones that there Is really a premium on little steers when we consider the cost of production
 We do not think that the 1900 pound steer will ever be entirely eliminated from the market, but we do think eff conjecture is allowable) that the baby beef animal will con tinue to increase in popularity in those districts where men do not wish to dairy.

The Delicious Sweet Pepper.

Your garden ought to be we'll sup piled with that most palatable vege- table, the sweet pepper. Many peo- pie imagine that all peppers are too hot to be eaten with comfort, but this is a great mistake. The only hot portions are the seeds. and they can be removed before cooking.
 Green peppers are cooked in a va riety of ways, and there Is no vege- table that produces more table en- joyment than these vegetables if a little study and care is given to their growth and preparation for the table.

afford to risk his crop for so small a saving The best seed that can be obtained is none too good. and any thing short of this is not good busi- ness. Without highly viable seed of a good strain, true to type, the best results cannot be expected.
 Cabbage Is a crop which is grown by every market gardener located within wagon-hauling distance of an important center of consumption. The statistics of the distribution of the cultivation of the cabbage clearly indi- cate the fact that this is one of the most important crops grown by market gardeners.
 The counties near each of the i'm portant centers of population of the United States arc almost universally credited with a considerable acreage of cabbage, thus showing that the gardeners of these regions have given considerable attention to the produc- tior of this crop.

 The essentials of good road are good bridges, dry road bed and grades as low as possible.
 Never cultivate your land deep. Shallow and frequent cultivation Is always best. Make the top soil as fine as possible.
 That final cultivation may mean ten bushels more corn to the acre and less pigeon grass seed in the farmers shoes at husking time.

DECIDED NOT ID DIE
Poet Declines to Quit With
 Work Unfinishd.
Supposed to Be on His Deathbed. Joaquin Miller Says He Will Live to Finish Life Rec
 ord Volume.

San Francisco.-Joaqui Miller, the poet of the Sierras, sits once more on the doorstep of his cabin on The Flights, his wild. mountain estate across the bay from which he over- looks San Francisco and the Golden Gate. and to name which he coined new-spelled word To see and talk with him today makes the statement that he is a septuagenarian and was pronounced but recently afflicted with an incurabe illness seem impossible. For Joaquin Miller today is every whit as much the grand old man of the mountains" as he was twenty years ago. when he earned the ap- pellation from Queen Victoria on his one and only visit to England.
 Why l Decided Not to Die" might well be the title of an additional vol ume to the set of the six which the poet has been spending the last three years in preparing. For his own tale of his fight with death as he told 1t to reporter recently, Is altogether as romantic and as virile in it's significance as anything this civiliza- tion-hating writer ever penned.
 The Flights" is about as accessi- ble as Mount Mckinley. It's ascent involves toiling up an almost precipit- ous trail which winds about the noun tain for full three miles from the end of the car line below. Joaquin tno one who ever met him could call him Mir.
