IMPROVEMENT MADE IN MODERN
TYPE OF BABY BEEF ANIMAL
VIII
Districts Where Farmers to
Vast Range Areas Hav Been

Twenty-Five years ago The popular
beef animal was a mountain OF meat
and tallow. Pasture land was cheap
and labor low In price: so the raiser
could afford to keep the animal until
1t weighed ton before putting II
on the market The buyer wanted
this kind Of animal, for meat was
cheap and the consumer could buy
large cuts. But new factors have
brought about a change in values. AS
land and labor increased in price the
farmer found that the longer he kept
an animal the more OF his labor went
In maintenance and This lessened his
profit just that much. Then he found
that the hfgher-priccd lands could not
be used for beef and that there was
more money In raising corn. So men
who had been engaged In raising cat
tie for market started raising corn.
and bought their steers from those
occupying cheap lands and finished
them of themselves. Throughout the
norn belt the popular steer has ranged

steers went to market at 80 months.

That is. they not only made more
economical use OF their feed than the

Baby beef has not been popular with

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or. failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl,
German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rifle which can be fired
under water, and Is designed for the
better arming of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that 1t
fires, not bullets. but water, which is
propelled with such farce that it has
an extraordinary power of penetration
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rife has a stout barrel
and is loaded with cartridge cased
in India rubber.
